Act One
Where in the World is Doctor Archer?
In the time since resolving the mystery of Colonel Archer's death, Geraldine became a serious researcher of the occult and this new hidden knowledge that she referred to as the "Cthulhu Mythos" - a term she encountered in the Liber Ivonis. Using her family's wealth and employing both legal (including the services of Jimmy the Jint) and not-so-legal connections, Geraldine managed to read or acquire various additional mythos tomes over the following year, and learnt a respectable repertoire of spells, charms, hexes, enchantments and incantations, in addition to mythos lore. Her borderline obsession with this hidden lore has resulted in Geraldine almost completely retiring from her medical career to become a full-time Mythos researcher. It is more accurate these days to refer to her as being a Sorceress and Occultist, than an Epidemiologist.
Her friends had gotten used over the next few months to Geraldine increasingly disappearing for days at a time, although she usually kept in contact with CJ and Guilderoy in some form. But after several weeks of even CJ having heard nothing from Geraldine, even she was getting concerned... especially when representatives of the Chicago Mob were turning up asking about Geraldine's location in relation to financial matters she had to settle with them.
