Marathe & Steeply: the burglary recoded as geopolitics

DuPlessis's absurd death (016's gag-and-grippe) is here retroactively read as an assassination: "circumstances of almost ridiculous suspicion," the "inept burglary and grippe" that no professional believes. A domestic burglary becomes a node in the U.S.-Canada intelligence war the instant the victim is known to be the Resistance's coordinator — the same event, recoded, is a private crime in Gately's ledger and a geopolitical hit in Marathe's.
