Huh. Osterhagen is a real place meaning "east grove, hedge"

Wait, why would they want to find the lab? If the place was concealed it was probably for a good reason, and if something wiped the pros out that thing is still probably there waiting to devour rookies.

Its cool to see Arabella again.

So, what's with the Rubik's Cube on the desk in panel 5? Another magical artefact?

nailed it? "Case vom Closedenstein"?

"den Stein" is a passive forme of "the rock/pebble" as in "closed the rock/pebble"; "vom" is "from" or "if".

Is this a play on "the file is closed"? "closed like a rock?" Does it play on "Osterhagen" as easter is about hiding eggs in the Sluggyverse and eggs should not be mistaken for rocks? The concealment bubble is as impenetrable as a closed rock?

Do you really have to write "case of xyz" on a case file? Wouldn't be obvious from the folder that it is a case file and "xyz" would suffice as information?

Although it kinds of fit into the idea of german bureaucracy that each case file also contains the information that it is a case file: "Dies ist die Akte von Closedenstein". "Dies ist die Beschriftung, dass dies die Akte von Closedenstein ist". It might not be the truth - but it fits into some prejudices (not meant negatively).

Regards,

TCC

Humor, TCCPhreak. Based, I'd bet, on Castle Wolfenstein...

Yeah, keep talking!

(The way Marco stormed off, I figured we wouldn't see him again without tentacles -- empathic spells or not.)

I can't read the text around the Orsintos logo in panel 4... can anyone else decipher that?

The Latin means something like "Learn from the unknown".

Interestingly, the first word is the "second-person plural present active imperative of discō" -- so we know for sure that Dancing Rammer is involved.

Clearly, the Artifact is the Osterhagen Key. (Spoilers, Sweetie.)
