OK, we _really_ need to hear from the surprisingly-not-dead **Nanook** now.

Meanwhile, though: **Natlaw** was a watcher, not a full investigator. I consider it unlikely that the Scum would have had both a watcher and a normal investigator, and yet he knew (as confirmed by **Astral** ) what **Astral** was. This implies that **Astral** is Scum.

**Vote Astral**

Also note that **Astral** recommended yesterDay that **Nanook** investigate him: This is certainly consistent with the assumption that **Natlaw** ’s claim was an attempt to save a valuable Scum, since Godfathers benefit greatly from being investigated.
