the insurgents-and-cartridge foreshadow
Extremely unpleasant Québecois-insurgents-and-cartridge-related subsequent developments make it clear that this was (again) Trent (‘Quo Vadis’) Kite.
Context
The filmography's earliest plant of the whole plot: "Extremely unpleasant Québecois-insurgents-and-cartridge-related subsequent developments." The compound adjective fuses the two halves of the anthology's spine — Québécois insurgents and the cartridge — in a single endnote gloss on the Master's whereabouts (Kite), the samizdat-as-anti-O.N.A.N.-weapon plot foreshadowed at p. 985 before any of it is explained.
