Ashra's theory
since i transcribed...

Quote:

ashra's theory lawl.

we have qc, the queen of info. info = knowledge, knowledge=power, power can corrupt. wants to rule everything.

she wants to take over the spades.

specifically refers to art and love as foolish, and midguided. chaos is weakness and insanity. dom and other say each suit is run by the rulers. if you wanted to take over, you would need info on their power structure, and how they're run. she wants to get her hands on a spade, to cross that line. since edwin has been experimenting on morcar, he is easily manipulated. she arranges a deal with korp to send him to seduce morcar to betray the deck. she does this and morcar does what she wants and betrays the deck. thus, the events that followed.

delilah was waiting in germany with a large man.

they did not expect edwin to get in touch with us and suddenly have a conscience. not within the queen's plan.

she rules the clubs. we know jonah has value to korp. this would have been the original deal- control of the spades in exchange for jonah.

elaborate to get around the aces. the aces let it happen. spades no longer wanted morcar since he was a betrayer.

korp takes morcar, and gloat and pretend it's all about the box.can't be about box, edwin could make another.

she wants morcar. korp wants jonah.

we can negotiate for morcar's return.

I'll make it readable in a second

Okay so basically.

The Queen of Clubs is the queen of information. Information is power, and power corrupts. Our Queen is corrupted. We think she may want to take control of the Spades because they are unruly and insane. She thinks art and love are foolish, but that chaos is much more horrible.

To take over, she would need to understand their structure, and to do so she'd need another Spade. She had Edwin experimenting on Morcar, and knows therefore that Morcar is easily susceptible to manipulation.

Therefore, she would arrange a deal with the Korp to make it seem like they wanted Morcar. They obviously want Jonah much more than Morcar, but would not point that out to us. They tried to make it seem that this was all about the box, but really, Edwin could easily make a new one.

So she sets it up that Morcar would betray the deck to the Korporation, meaning the Spades no longer want him so she can punish him any way she sees fit, such as using him to gain the info she wants. But to do so, she'd have to propose a deal with Korp, whom currently has Morcar, to switch him for Jonah.

That way, both sides get exactly what they want.

My more fleshed out theory..
Thanks again Loli for the help

Okay so basically we know that the Queen of Clubs and Delilah have more use for Morcar than the box.

They've stated as much. Plus why would the Queen of Clubs need the box, Edwin can make her a new one...

So..

The Queen of Clubs is the queen of information. Information is knowledge, and knowledge is power, and

power corrupts. Our Queen is corrupted. We think she may want more power, to possibly take control of the

Spades. She stated in her address that she thinks the pursuit of art and love are foolish and that we have

a misguided notion that chaos is nothing more than insanity and weakness. This indicates she sees value

in the Spades.

To take over the Spades she would need information on them. She would need to understand their structure,

and to do so she'd need another Spade. She would need to get her hands on a spade without upsetting the

Deck and so she would have to have one be cast out by his own suit. She stated that Morcar was no longer

in the Spades jurisdiction since he crossed the line and betrayed the Deck. This allows her to take

control of him.

So my theory is this.. because she had Edwin performing experiments on Morcar all these years, she knows

he is easily manipulated, the weak link. She has Delilah perhaps, make a deal with the Korp in the very

beginning...You lure away Morcar to betray the Deck, I will give you my servant Jonah. We know that the

Korp has more value for Jonah than Morcar. This is plausible since she rules Jonah's suit. She could

easily arrange his silencing in preparation for turning him over as a "trade" for Morcar later. She could

conceivably convince the Aces that this is all Jonah's fault and ours and that we are responsible for

leading them astray. They'd not argue with her when she requested the Silencing.

So the Men in Suits seduce Morcar with money and attention, and he betrays the Deck. Somehow he ends up

in Berlin. The Korp could have taken him there or even Delilah and her "consort" I find it odd they were

already so close to Morcar when Edwin called for help. The consort was described as a huge man, which

could have easily moved a man sized box with a man inside. Perhaps they did not expect Edwin to get in

touch with the Passengers and try to save his brother.

To keep the ruse going, Delilah and the consort distract Edwin in the lobby long enough for the Korp to

slip in and get him. Remember, for this to go down and not have interference from the Aces they have to

believe that Morcar betrayed them and that the Korp wanted the box. So they take both and splash it all

over their page that they have Morcar and the box but that Morcar can be negotiated for. While the Aces

try to get him back, the Queen is finishing her own deal behind the scenes. She "punishes" Jonah and the

passengers and silences him. Delilah takes him. A "transaction" is reached and Jonah is handed over to

the Korp in return for MOrcar.

Therefore, this could be an elaborate conspiracy and plan by the Queen to begin a takeover of the Spades

without upsetting the deck by arranging a deal with the Korp to make it seem like they wanted Morcar and

the box. They obviously want Jonah much more than Morcar, but would not point that out to us. They tried

to make it seem that this was all about the box, but really, Edwin could easily make a new one.

So she sets it up that Morcar would betray the deck to the Korporation, meaning the Spades no longer want

him so she can punish him any way she sees fit, such as using him to gain the info she wants. But to do

so, she'd have to propose a deal with Korp, whom currently has Morcar, to switch him for Jonah.

That way, both sides get exactly what they want. And the Aces are not as inclined to restrict her actions
