Jan. 13th, 2014 07:51 pmWhen Wellinghall remarked earlier, while listening to the radio news, that "the Corsican Mafia are involved now", naturally I assumed he was talking about this story:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-25717643
But he wasn't, the news had moved on to a completely different report.
On reflection, though, how likely was it that the Corsican Mafia would risk getting involved in any such caper? I mean it's clearly the kind of story that involves at least a maverick scientist whose warnings were ignored, a fearless explorer recently returned from the Antarctic, and probably a plucky young journalist. If tomorrow's news involves Eldritch Horrors we'll know they're on the case.
ETA:
See, what did I tell you? The flower was probably the last ingredient needed to bring the pharaoh back to life.
