Liz's Dress and The Coleman-Wheeler Conspiracy!

I've been think about Liz's dress and how it wound up at Meta-Chem ... plus I've been thinking about the Destiny Book and the translation at Los Alamos and the Colemans and the Wheelers. And it hit me that it could possibly be ALL related.

First, the dress. How DID it wind up at Meta-Chem? If I remember right, the Special Unit got its funding from mysterious sources. Could it have been Clayton Wheeler, a man searching for a fountain of youth, or could it have been the Colemans, for whom the Cyclotron lab was named for? And how, if possible, could they be related.

It is possible that the Wheelers/Colemans are coverting funding the Special Unit in exchange for information. That would give them access to all the pertinent info on the pod squad and events surrounding them from 1947 on. They would have access to Liz's dress which has been in Meta-Chem's possession for 2 years, essentially from the time that Valenti turned the dress over to Agent Stephens. Or maybe they just killed Agt. Stephens to get the dress (whose last had the dress). They had access to Michael's school records (which were last seen with Topolsky). Could someone, like Pierce, have turned these records over to the Wheelers or Colemans? Possibly.

Strangely though, Merris Wheeler, initially thought that Michael was the healer because of the Phoenix healings and Michael turning up on the surveillance photos. But if they are so well informed, a copy of Valenti's report would have told them about Larry and Jennifer claiming that Max healed Liz. A definite stumbling block. Or is it? Michael was also at the scene and they may have thought Jennifer and Larry identified the wrong boy as the healer.

Now it would be interesting to see what else was in the stuff Michael and Valenti took from Meta-Chem. I wonder if any of Max's medical info from the White Room is there? Or stuff from Nasedo or even Tess?

Enter Grant. He's doing geological studies to see if it's safe for a chemical company to build in Roswell. What if that company is Meta-Chem? What if Meta-Chem was specifically built to learn about the pod squad?

Enter Coleman Particle Research Lab: Home of the Cyclotron and the place to determine CadmiumX. Now CadmiumX has been around for a long time, since 1947. One of its uses is to act as a preservative. Now wouldn't someone who is looking for a fountain of youth be interested in a preservative, especially when CadiumX has been linking to healing and death? On the healing side, we have the Phoenix healings and Liz; on death, the trail of dead bodies left by Nasedo and/or Langley.

Enter Jennifer Coleman. Coincidence of name? I think not. My guess is that Jennifer Coleman is following a family tradition and going to the school her father and/or mother went to. I think Jennifer knows nothing but is being used. But by whom? Tess? Certainly, but also by someone else, someone with the clout and money to rent a place in Jennifer's name to hide the Destiny Book translation and the key.

And that person could be Merris Wheeler (wife of Clayton), maiden name Coleman and that might also begin to explain why the Destiny Book contains all those weird references to alien abduction and medical testing.

What do you think? Could we possibly be on to something? And what else is there that could back it up? B-get your thinking cap on. This is the Coleman-Wheeler conspiracy thread! LOL!

Ok... I was so ready to hear like "Who Want's To Be A Millionaire Music" after that line...lol.

Momo, I am afraid my thinking cap is like way smaller than yours! I can't believe you tied everything in like that!
Baby steps (taking it one thing at a time):

First, the dress. How DID it wind up at Meta-Chem?

Merris said she had expert scientists studying the dress for 2 years but didn't get any info from it. That means she had gotten it from the Special Unit pretty fast, eh? (9/17/1999 shooting date). Yet, with all the info the Special Unit would have had (from Topolsky), had Merris had the Special Unit in her pocket, she would have been on to the Pod Squad WAY sooner.

I think Agent Stevens was killed by Pierce (I trusted Topolsky in Crazy, didn't you?). Unless Merris and thugs made it LOOK like Pierce did it JUST to get that dress (Makes sense since that seems like the only info they got of physical value... I mean, they didn't even snag the orb).

But then Merris said the NEXT best tip they got was the healing in Pheonix (kids with cancer). I am with you Momo on the fact that they weren't to smart to figure out what went down at the Crashdown.

So this means from the time of the shooting and the time of the healing kids, we were free from interference from Merris and Co. since she said she had a cold trail (due to lack of brains!).

EVERYTHING about the connection to the Metachem, Grant (brilliant!) and Jennifer rock!

Posted by Momo on 02-15-2002 01:21 PM:

What we have to remember about Merris is that she's only interested in the pod squad from a medical standpoint. She would have swept away the orb because it had nothing to do with "healing". That may account for her lack of interest in some areas.

Her interest seems to be to "heal" Clayton. She's got a one-track mind there. I wonder what's so great about Clayton that she's so interested in keeping him alive? Who is Clayton? But since "healing" is the main issue, then the incident at the Crashdown and the Phoenix healings and the Destiny Book would have been her priorities. She didn't know about Kyle, so Kyle slipped under the radar.

I did trust Topolsky in Crazy, but remember she had Michael's file before then, in The Morning After and as far as we know, she had it when she left school in Blood Brothers. My guess is Pierce got it during her debrief and through Pierce, Merris could have gained access to the file or perhaps even from Whitaker.

YEAH! I wondered about that too! What was with Merris and all the babble when Valenti dissed her about marrying an old man??? Something about how feelings change, priorities change, etc. What?!?! I got lost at that part...lol.

I agree with you: She would have been interested in ONLY the healing stuff, so the loose ends are cleared up on that one (how other Pod Squad info slipped by). Had she been MORE interested in the whole alien experience, she would have found her "healer" much sooner though!

Posted by Momo on 02-15-2002 01:58 PM:

Probably, but by being so focused in one area, the blinders are up and people often missed things. This could have happened to Merris.

I'm only guessing about Wheeler, but we've speculated about the author of the Destiny Book, especially the part about the alien abductions and that it was written by a human. Clayton, maybe?

There's definitely something more to Clayton. Maybe we'll find out in the next episode, but he could be:

1. author of the Destiny Book
2. the reason why Merris is still alive. It might be Merris that is "not of this earth" and she needs Clayton's brain to keep her alive. LOL!
3. just a guy she married for money and maybe she gets nothing if he dies and that's why she needs to keep him alive.

Well, Merris said they had been married for 22 years. He is rich enough to fund Medachem and have Merris run on a wild goose chase to find the fountain of youth (which I think she must have had a sip cuz I don't see any wrinkles! lol...). She was going on and on about how "priorities change, etc.". WHAT?!?! She found love too late?
Are these two eps stand alone eps? The writers had better follow through with this Marris stuff (of course the writers want to borrow your fab theory Momo).
Otherwise, I have this ookie feeling that the are just going to write Merris and Co. off as some rich eccentric nuts.

Maybe old Mr. MetaChem is a Skin?

Wow. I hadn't even thought about the fact that he was an older bald guy, which I believe we've all agreed is the apparent M.O. of choosing a shapeshifter's body/form.

Did a shapeshifter essence go into Max's body? Or did Max's essence go into a shapeshifter's body?

And I had to at least consider the thought of him being a Skin. I kept thinking about how all Skins were reaching the end of their lifespans, and that was what prompted all the stepped-up aggression to get the Big-G last year. All husks were nearing expiration! Was Clayton expiring? If a Skin transferred his essence, how might he accomplish that? It would be nice if we even knew how they did that from the old Royal 4's bodies on Antar into the transport to Earth in '47.

We know that Antarans have the ability to at least "puppet" from Antar, as Larek and Khivar have proven via presumably different methods. That would imply that Max or any of the other Hybrids might harbor this undeveloped ability, and certainly it's likely that a Skin or a Shapeshifter might be capable of limited tranference, too -- this ability to flood their own consciousness into a host body. Maybe Max's essence took action intuitively at the time of death? Close proximity would make it all the simpler, wouldn't it?

Did you notice the auras playing all around his head during the event? It literally flashed in rainbow colors at his temples after sort of flowing up his arm.

One has to wonder as you watch the scene, which of the two men is causing the overload/transference/whatever. It's unclear as I watch it over. Max is clearly distressed, but seems riveted to to process or whatever he sees inside of Clayton (flashes?). Clayton shows no outward sign of bad intent, just sits there... Until the last moments, when he flings Max's body off him and walks away.

The eyes of both men had some funkiness, too. Did they appear to you to switch? Hard to see on my tape, but Max's eyes went light at the end -- whether fried out or just lightened to Clayton's color?

And finally, the six-pointed star within a spreading circle of fire where he died. There are numerous symbolic meanings referring to ultimate healing and "the six directions", but was that a symbol perhaps for Max's essence, like an insignia? Or of Claytons? Does that symbol appear in previous epis?

Oops. That was a lot.

Here is a whacky idea

I just rewatched the ending of Panacea. Admittedly it is a difficult scene to watch emotionally. I did notice a certain physical similarity between Max and Clayton Wheeler. Older Max just before he died had a closer similarity.

Now here is the whacky part. Clayton Wheeler was an old man say in his 80's or even 90's. What if Clayton Wheeler was Max's donor just as Charles Dupree was Michael's donor. Both were rich men. The photo of a young Charles Dupree was not that of a prosperous man. What if a compensation for being abducted and having your dna used to recreate a royal is the ability to become rich? That would explain the wealth of The Wheelers and the Duprees. What if it also explains the wealth of the Colemans? Looking at Jennifer Coleman aka Leanna, she is blonde and has a round face. What if she is a decendant of Tess's donor? The reason that there is a new particle research lab named Coleman building and Jennifer Coleman being a student at the university is because the Coleman family donated the building so their daughter could get into the university. Just like the Hearst familty donated Hearst gym to UC Berkeley so Patti Hearst could get in there.

We know from Laurie Dupree and his writings that Charles Dupree was obsessed with aliens and his abduction. What if Clayton Wheeler and prehaps a Coleman abductee were also similarily obsessed but were smarter about it. Instead of being vocal about their abductions as Charles Dupree was, leading to his children committing him to a mental institution, what if Clayton Wheeler formed a clandestine alliance with the government in the form of the Special Unit. Who knows if Clayton Wheeler was rich and influential enough in the 1950's he could have backed or pursued whatever congressional commitee or J EdgerHoover himself (then director of the FBI) to set up the Special Unit in the first place. That would explain how he got a hold of Liz's dress and Michael's records. The reason that Kyle slipped Wheeler's attention was he wasn't on the FBI's list. ( oh to have Silverhandprint.com back)

We also know that Nasedo was held in captivity by the government after the crash what if he cracked and was working with Special Unit or Wheeler in some capacity. Or what if after his death Tess decided to work with her donor's family. It would have taken the Wheeler's or the Coleman's resources to produce all the slides Alex "took" on his Swedish trip. Also someone had to arrange for and pay for his room and board at the university. Also to arrange for him to have access to the supercomputer. You can't just sign up for time on those like you do to use the Internet at the library. What if the reason the translation of the Destiny Book was undertaken was not to find a way home but as a means to find a cure for Wheeler. Much of the text does seem to be related to medical experiments.

In Skin and Bones Grant Sorenson is doing a survey for a Chemical company looking for radiation left over from the 50's. That is how he finds Pierce's bones by detecting Cadimum X. What if Cadimum X was the specific substance he was looking for. The Special Unit knew it was a by-product of an alien killing and maybe because of the report of Liz sporting a silverhand print of alien healing as well. Later in the Hybrid Chronicles, we find that Sorenson had done a hydrological survey of Frasier Woods something completely different from than the survey he was conducting in Skin and Bones. He had also had to have been in Frasier Woods the prior summer in order to be infected the Gandarium Queen and to commit the thefts necessary to get the items to imprison Laurie Dupree. What if the two surveys were related or at least for the same employer. We saw in Michael, The Guys, and the Great Snapple Caper Carl steal some blue goo from Meta-Chem. What if that blue goo was what was left of a sample of Gandarium that Sorenson originally collected for Meta-Chem.

Momo, you've certainly gotten me thinking and have anwered a question that actually just popped into my head today. You see, I don't really get much time to sit and dream about Roswell anymore with so much school. So today was my off day and I was given the chance to think. I really think we're on to something though....

Posted by bethalani on 02-16-2002 04:01 PM:

Great deductions Alas!

Ok... I was trying to squeeze a gandarium theory out of myself while driving to buy a new shower curtain.... but realized that once the Queen of the gandarium hive dies, they ALL die... right? So there shouldn't be any trace of gandarium left from Grant or his testing.

The idea of Wheeler as one of the original human DNA donors ROCKS! I love it! I tried to make that VERY same connection in another thread... that Wheeler could have the funky gene that alien dna seems to be able to work with. Hope you checked out my post! It is not as good as YOUR connections.. but might give you some more inspiration!

Posted by Alastriona on 02-16-2002 04:10 PM:

B' it was your hypothisis that Wheeler had the flawed gene that got me to thinking as rare as it is, what if he is Max's donor.

True when the Queen died so did the rest of the hive. In the live form Gandarium is crystaline in structure. Dead it looks like goo. Kyle and Alex were covered with goo after the escaped the cavern when the Gandarium died.

Wouldn't that have freaked the scientists at Meta-Chem if this self mobile living crystal (Remember it moved to cover Max's hand) all of a sudden just died and turned to goo? Wouldn't a competor or some other rival want to know what Meta-Chem had. That why Carl and the janitors where paid to steal it.

If Wheeler really has the flawed gene and the blue goo Meta-Chem has is Gandarium good thing that they never tested the live crystals on Wheeler.

WoW......this involves WAY too much thinking

Posted by Momo on 02-17-2002 02:37 PM:

Great one, Alas! That could be it. It works very well. I'll be home tomorrow to pursue this more!

Posted by Fido on 02-17-2002 04:21 PM:

I just started readint this thread but something came to me and I don't want to forget it. I'm probably going to go back to read the rest of the thread to make sure nobody has mentioned this.

Anyway

is it possible that Merris wants to heal the old guy because they've been married for a good forty/fifty years? Or maybe they got married in 1950 a few months after the SKINS landed on earth?

Just a thought....

hmm, on second thought I guess I'm not half as clever as I thought I was. looks like someone has brought up the idea already. I"ll shut up now
