Um…the real-life villain was named Oliver, not Alexander.
Just FYI.

It’s a fine name for him. Though I’ll still make fun of him, simply because he inspires the desire of dropping mud on him. The dirt from P.E.I. might just do. I’ve heard it is nigh impossible to wash out!

And I didn’t know about the apparel, though I doubt I’ll be wearing any, any time soon. Not if this guy is named after them!… Also, the prices…

Karnuovia: He’s not totally dead. When that happens there’s only one thing you can do… go through his pockets for loose change! Heheheheheh.

Bradhoc is a buyer and seller of artifacts on the black market. He has a lot of resources on the Blue Planet and is quite “in” with folks who can get him what he wants… so he’s a good choice to go do to cut deals of a shady kind.

Rare artifacts mean much more to him than money, since he has plenty of that. The best way to bargain with Bradhoc is to give him an artifact he doesn’t own. Especially something of Lunar origins.

Do I know exactly what was traded to Bradhoc here? No, not really. He wouldn’t tell me! ^^;

The packet that Browning has is the interesting one for me.

Artifacts are funny things, some are dangerous, some are helpful, and some do what you wouldn’t quite expect them too.

There was one particular story where an artifact was snuck away and used to actually revive the person responsible for it.

What, then, is Luccious up to with this? Why give Browning the artifact? It is a trade, yes, but why like this? Why the artifact that is being given? Sounds almost like Browning would do this well enough for his own personal pleasure as well as anything else… even without a trade.

Who was Browning watching Ben for? Luccious? Maybe, but quite possibly another person/group.

There is a lot in here that hasn’t been answered yet. Hints of things to come?

Though Browning is a brand of hunting equipment (such as guns), it’s actually a reference to outdoors apparel that was commonly worn by wealthier kids when I was in grade school & middle school. Bradhoc was always Bradhoc… but when I needed a last name for him, I suddenly remember the “Browning” jackets that were somewhat a status symbol of kids who had parents who could afford to pay a bunch of money for a coat the kid would grow out of in a season or two. *laugh*

I bet they were nice coats, though. Sure looked nice.

I’m of the belief that a “Browning” is 1. A type of machine gun.

Also, 2. What happens when you dump brown mud on people.

Don’t worry, I’m not proofing it. This is for relaxation before I go back to Dreigiau’s chapter 19 to double proof it.

You know? Some father’s just deserve it. Sounds cold hearted? My father knew someone who did the same thing as Newt. Sorta, though it could have been chalked up to self defense.
