CONSPIRACY THEORIES
Shadowrun is a game fullof conspiracies
and conspiracy theorist, but for some reason nobody on the net (nobody
I know at least) have ever written their theories on the world on Shadowrun
and its future... This new category of articles aims at telling what some
people might think, and inspire thought.
Dunkelzahn isn't dead!
The big D actually faked his own death! The three major questions you must
be asking yourselves is what makes you think that, how and why. First,
reading the reports of the witnesses it seems clear that something weird
happened. First, there wasn't any debris of the limo or Dunky and the vet
seems to think it was armored heavily. A limo exploding containing a dragon
(even in human form) without leaving a trace and everybody thinks its because
the explosion was so powerful. Right. And I'm Santa Claus. Another thing,
nobody was able to film or record anything from the explosion. Sounds like
some kind of mana illusion to me, making a relatively small explosion look
like a really big one. That would explain why the radius of victims was
small compared to the radius of the explosion (as the vet points out).
Another thing, the old lady saw him leave astrally at the moment of the
explosion, and I don't buy her explaination of him becoming a god. It seems
like the big D made a fake assassination of himself at the moment where
he left magically in some way the site.
How did he set that up? Like I said, there must have been an explosive
powerful enough to destroy the car following the limo, but not enough to
destroy the heavily armored limo. With some mana magical effect (which
explains why there wasn't any recording of sound) an illusion of a very
powerful explosion covered the smaller real explosion. Now, with some unknown
magic he teleports himself, and the limo, somewhere else (notice that teleportation
was mentionned in the Threat file concerning the black lodge). As
you all know, if that magic existed it would have to be incredibly powerful,
which leaves us considering the mana cloud over the site of the assassination.
The cloud might be some side-effect of the teleportation effect cast.
What is left is the most important point: why did he did that? Let's
look at the Draco foundation. This foundation now have enough money to
rival the Big 8s and can relatively easily climb up the ladder to become
one of the future Big 9. As everybody knows, popularity is one of the most
important part of a corp. If Dunky had built a new corp with its money,
would people love it? No, they would consider it like any other corp. Now
if he tried to become president, promising new hope to everybody, in fact
promising a new, brighter future. As we saw, he became incredibly popular.
Now, and could he become even more popular? He just had to die! Elvis,
JFK, lady Diana all became incredibly popular when they died, which happened
with the Big D. Now being "dead" he was able to do like all the dragons
love to do, control everything from behind the scene. The Draco Foundation
being what's left of him, everybody loves the foundation, making it probably
one the most, if not the most, popular corp in the world. So why would
he have faked his death? To control from behind the scene one of richest
and most popular corporation in the world! Seems like the kind of complicated
scheme a dragon could devise, doesn't it...
Encounter of the third kind by Ares!
Dunkelzahn's will has revealed three very interesting photography from
the now Ares-owned Nasa. These photos show what look like buildings, a
very classical-looking flying saucer and some kind of technological debris.
If we relate this to the gift of the Big D to Captain Chaos (the encrypted
file JackBNimble), which is a message that could contain "some communication
from another world", we can think that this file comes from Mars. How would
Dunky have got such a file? Let's remember that he owned Gavilan Ventures,
which owns 12% of Ares. That makes him the third most important man (dragon)
on the board of Ares, thus enabling him to know almost everything happening
in the megacorp, including communication with aliens. The last point of
interest in the will is the gift to "the parties the Draco Foundation agrees
have achieved breakthroughts in the inventions necessary to succesful
deep-space living and travel" which relates to habited trips to Mars.
Dunkelzahn can see in the future!
A couple of in the Big D's will that relate to KSAF make me think that
he can see in the future! In the Threats file it was mentionned
that the tv station KSAF could predict future by some way. A little note
in the Dunkelzahn's Secrets file mentionned that they had lost their
ability: they were filming something else when Dunky blew up. You can easilly
see the relation: the Big D didn't want anyone to film the accident, so
he certainly wouldn't have sent KSAF to the site if he controlled them.
Now, another thing indicates that foreseeing talent: in its will he gives
a couple of books and the order in which to read what's inside them to
KSAF. Since he's supposed to be dead, the dragon gave indication on what
to film and when to KSAF. It seems pretty clear that the dragon can look
in the future... If he can see in the future, why didn't he predict his
own death? Because he didn't have to predict it, he was setting it up himself!
That's another indication that Dunky didn't die, he just faked it...
