xp_havokSo basically, here's a bunch of stuff we've found out about the poisonous rocks:
1) We found them at about five different places in NYC, all tourist-type places. We've bought out the stock. Thank you Warren's credit card. Sue's passed them all on to the Science-y people.
2) The pendant seem to have come from a company owned by some dude named Charles Barnabas (you know he got teased for that name). Did some digging on him, apparently about ten years ago he and two other dudes imported a giant emerald from South America to the U.S. Apparently they thought it would make them rich. Idk.
3) Apparently, old Barnabas didn't realize the emerald would make mutants sick. He broke things off with the parnters - Tomas Dlurga and Adam Adams (poor guy), and took a big old chunk of emerald as payment. He decided to have his wife turn them into jewelry and they started selling them to stores.
The good news is, Barnabas isn't a dick. We got ahold of him and told him what's up, and he handed over what he had left of the emerald, and a list of places they supplied it to. We're chasing that down now.
No idea what's up with the rest of the emerald, I assume DLurga and Adam Adams (seriously who does that to their kid) have it.
