From the 12/03/13 shoutbox chat with Constantine about finding the Codex.
Read from the bottom up.
W.I. Constantine: if there are any more questions, post them here and I will get to them as soon as I can... for now, I will set plans in motion to ensure the success of polaris... may the gods go with her
W.I. Constantine: No, but I will be honest, I have not slept in two days. There is too much at stake... even when I lie in bed, my mind races
marthas: Do you know of anyone named Campbell who is an associate or friend of Seamus?
W.I. Constantine: Though the codex is one way to summon the old one, there are others, and Nyarlathotep loves the thrill of the hunt
W.I. Constantine: remember, he likes to toy with his prey... and while he wants to summon his father, he may be willing to postpone it in order to kill (or worse) our agent
W.I. Constantine: So I would keep an eye on what is left of our detective friend
W.I. Constantine: Well, all we have to go on are his words and those we know have been in contact with him
marthas: He said "I grow bored with this world...play me the song of madness"
W.I. Constantine: No idea... was there any context? anything that might give me somewhere to start?
marthas: Nyarlathotep tweeted about the Song of Madness. Do you know what he is referring to?
W.I. Constantine: I am no hero, and never will be... but I will continue my work until the end
W.I. Constantine: Do not thank me
W.I. Constantine: Who knows what he saw when he looked in the orb. He could be omniscient at this point, if he could only remember his sanity. I would not discard anything he has to say, but he has also been visited by Nyarlathotep. Who knows what kind of corruption remains
yankeewhite: Thank you Constantine. >
lisak: Would Seamus have any knowledge of where the codex, if it exists, might be?
W.I. Constantine: and no, I while I may retain little of what made me once human, I am one of you
W.I. Constantine: If Nyarlathotep finds the codex, polaris will do what she must. We all must do what is necessary
lisak: Are you as old as he is?
W.I. Constantine: She will be making contact tomorrow. For now, keeping Nyarlathotep distracted is our priority. Do not underestimate him. He has been twisting mortals since we were hewn from the primordial muck
guestuser17: What kind of support do you need?
W.I. Constantine: If she fails, it is all for nothing. I WILL NOT LET THAT HAPPEN
marthas: How can we help Polaris?
W.I. Constantine: but we need your support. You can not imagine the sacrifices polaris has made to gain the Churches trust
W.I. Constantine: I have a spy inside their organization... codename polaris. She is in a trusted position and may be able to strike at the proper moment to retrieve the codex
W.I. Constantine: I make sacrifices... that is the job of a leader... at the risk of sounding cliche, i would happily murder a million to save the billions
W.I. Constantine: Since recruiting you, we have acquired more artifacts in the last month than in the last two years. but look at the cost. We are "winning" but the bodies are piled high and with every one I am reminded of my failures
W.I. Constantine: How could I retain my humanity after this kind of war?
marthas: Do you know what lead Nyarlathotep may be following to find the Codex?
W.I. Constantine: Do you honestly prefer to believe Nyarlathotep would ever have your best interests at heart?
W.I. Constantine: While the only page that remains constant in the codex is the page that summons the old one, we may be able to use what remains on other pages
yankeewhite: What are you hiding behind the mask? What is your true identity?
W.I. Constantine: Fire is cleansing in both physical and spiritual senses... that is how to destroy it. However, if we can, acquiring it is a better option.
W.I. Constantine: however, Nyarlathotep is a master of deception and misdirection... any rumor could be a trap designed to lure another mortal into his clutches
lisak: Pastor Dan says you are our puppetmaster and you wear a mask of humanity to fool the world. What is your response?
marthas: If we find the Codex, how do we destroy it?
W.I. Constantine: I have heard it spoken of in China, Egypt, and here in the US
W.I. Constantine: It was thought lost in the destruction, but rumors of it continued to float around the world
W.I. Constantine: the codex last known location was in RI right before the Church was broken by agents of a rival order
W.I. Constantine: What? I need the whole story here... I don't tell you everything, but I tell no person everything
yankeewhite: Constantine, you've said "They could never deal with the truth I know..." what is this truth? What have you been hide from us this entire time?
W.I. Constantine: I will answer them as best I am able
W.I. Constantine: If you have questions, ask them now
