But you are going to convince them that is not some sort of trick. Given the fantical mentality they had this is going to be a real hard sell.

How would it do that? Stalin would have wanted the thing in his country where he could control it not at the end of the earth where any Tom, Dick, and Hanry could go and take a look.

As the
American Antiquities Act of 1906 was orignally written no. But modifications additions and interpitations had made dealing with the thing a royal nightmare. But it follows the tradition of the older 'Resurrection Men' Laws that grew out of antics of people like William Burke and William Hare who took the practice of digging up corpses for surgons to practice on to its logical conclusion - go out and
make a corpse!
The spector of Resurrection Men would desend on Louisiana faster than anything else and the issue of the dead being the 'property' of the family would come up. There there is the issue of Louisiana being in the Bible Belt - you imagine any minister supporting this practice? The zombie chain gang idea would not fly anywhere.

But in the Technomancer history there is
no Nevada Test Area! And there in is one of the problems with the way the setting is set up. The book says A happens or doesn't not happen but a little futher on it says something wonky that contradicts A. The basic premice of unless it is obvious or we say otherwise a history followed the course it did in our history does not work any better than DC comic's efforts at dealing with its Post-Crisis universe.

True but Technomancer espressly states that the assembly line enchantment require Magery 2 workers who know the Enchantment spell. That is a bit much.
