Too many options as to what could happen at this point, I’m not guessing. One DOES thank ‘Saw for the Jason thing though, that could have ended so badly…
diplomat isnt exactly what is needed- what is needed is a very talented liar who can create an ironclad cover story and drill everyone on how to act along with the communal lie. one person having verbal diarrhea can kill a well put together alibi
@Brunhidden: That *is* what a good diplomat is, in fact. Along with being a talented spy who, should they get caught, is mostly immune from the usual consequences of such behaviour – the worst you can do to someone with diplomatic immunity is send them back to their home country and make them persona non grata in your own.
@Anodyne Indeed. Half a diplomat’s job is espionage on their host country. The other half is covering up for their own country’s leader being a dips*it. Needless to say, US diplomats need to get a lot of overtime…
@Sul: Oh gods, that would be a hell of a thing…wait, probably not him directly, since mob bosses are often hit or miss on good diplomacy; maybe an underling though? Or the guy who sold the tech to Candycane?
@Vulpis: Sort of, and the US isn’t a singular example. Can you imagine the hot step N. Korea’s diplomat to China is dancing right now? Or any of Syria’s? I would go so far as to say that there isn’t a country in the world with at least one diplomat in a terrible situation not of their own making. Also, it is good to note that when you talk “leaders,” it isn’t just the top brass – aides, deputies, previous diplomats, previous history, and security-types can all ruffle another country’s feathers pretty easily, and without intention (ignoring the whole “spy” thing). Gods help a diplomat when one of the above is actually belligerent toward the country they are envoy’ing.
@kermit: I doubt Geisha’s relatives are as perverted as him. As they say, there’s one in every family, even when that one is a perverted gorgon sculptor.
@The_Rippy_One: Yeah, probably not him directly. Even though he could afford to make the trip quickly (compared to Jig’s parents), I have a hard time seeing him bothering to show in person unless there was something substantial to gain. Aside from the designs to those Tone speakers, it seems like all he’d get would be a headache. 😛
It’ll be neat if we get to meet someone completely new!
@Vulpis: I guess that’d make sense, since the Vaeos own (?) a massive space station and might need some workers who don’t need to, ya know, breathe. 😛
Honestly couldn’t think of anyone else other than Spirit who might want to buy a zombie.

the suspense is building but who could it be? something tells me who ever he is he’s family!
Well whoever this person is, they sound like dealings like this are just a sunny walk in the park for him.
Not many that we know of could be into down and dirty dealings like this and Jigsaw would trust.
*Really* hoping it’s not Geisha. Or anyone related to him.
address book? i didnt think gabriel was THAT old

I was thinking VELED until jiggy said it was a he…
Oh deary me,that guy sure does get around,what was his black book like?
…Candycane? 😮
Wonder if Daisy’s buttface was about their situation, or if she had someone in mind.

It’s probably Akiros, since he was a member of the Celigan embassy and the only person jigsaw and Co can get a hold of fairly easily.
@ everyone with theories- keep in mind its ‘client’, so think someone who has purchased something/someone from gabriel’s processing facility
@Brunhidden …I’m half expecting it to be one of the dragon family back on the station. 🙂

@sul think evil politicians and religious zealots trying to wadge a war.
Oh holy h*ll, I just had a thought. Steve Irwin, or whatever his expy’s name is that turned Jig. 😉
@vulpis considering he couldn’t talk jig out of drop-kicking him out the window i doubt he’s got any knowledge of diplomacy 😛
