Chance rubs at her temples. "Jesus. This goes way deeper than I suspected." She imagines liopleurodon remains as something akin to a fossil fuel, only instead of making gasoline, the Hershey people are making food.
She's got to shake this. If she keeps on thinking this way she's going to wind up wearing a tinfoil hat. Focus, Chance, focus.
"The milk chocolate. That's a telling stress on the definite article. Maybe that's got some kind of cultic significance too." She's thinking along the lines of what Adrienne Mayor writes about in The First Fossil Hunters, of course. Folklore and rituals, that kind of thing. Definitely nothing like Templar conspiracies.
"What the author of Cavities and Sea Oddities says is this: 'The magical liopleurodon has spoken. He has shown us The Way.' At this point I can't rule out anything."
