Well, I can tell you right now that Archer is sort of on Carmen's radar anyway because of the discussion they had over the Meowth she bought — previously, every other time she's gotten an egg from someone, the dialogue has always been, "My key interest is in finding these dear creatures a good safe home," but with Archer it was "NO MAN LOOK HOW SWAG THIS CAT IS IT'S SO POWERFUL" and that made her go HMMM a little. Obviously that's nowhere even remotely near jumping to the conclusion that he's a Rocket, but he is a blip on her radar because of it, albeit a minor one. She also has the pictures of the Kimono Girls attack from off of Kimblee's Gear, but as yet she hasn't realized that the attack was caused by two people instead of just one.

So really, what she's got at the moment is a lot of potential pieces that will all abruptly fit together as soon as she gets The Big One, but she doesn't have the Big One yet and that's probably where the key to setting them off and running will come in. o/

OH MAN PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE TEXT WAR GO?? I hope he sends her some after she steals Cobra's bigass snake throne. SO MAD.
