Had a thought and rambled on twitter but I keep forgetting twitter ain't the place for it anymore lol
Anyway I was wondering about Bumaro calling all mekhane-related cults he could get contacts to in Heresy of Disassembly and I can't help but wonder if he tried contacting Derdekeas. Since he technically is a (co-)leader of a Mekhanite Cult.
"Hey wanna come over and have a chat about future of our religion" and Derdekeas slowly puts the phone in the booth away and asks Nadox if they can move somewhere else. Fast. If Derdekeas could sweat, he would.
Derdekeas being keenly aware that he can manage his little cult with Nadox, do their research, whatever, but if he attracts Bumaro's attention (whom I assume he at least heard of and maybe, possibly, Nadox mentioned him as well in relation to Ion's demise and Dardekeas connected the dots) and Bumaro figures out what their cult is made of (heretical mix of nalka and mekhanism), he and Nadox both will be done for.
