>>102789725They didn't. The decorator said his guys opened it up.
>>102789692Yeah, but that's the Guild knowing about Protagonists. That's what the Guild is for in its present incarnation.
We're talking about Jonas knowing definitively that the Guild existed - Jonas who built so much OSI infrastructure (like the precog tanks) and was assigned a permanent OSI bodyguard.
Sure, the OSI had moles like Hatred who might have destroyed a lot of records, but there were also men like Gathers and Treister who believed in the OSI's work and the need for it to exist and oppose... bad guys, like Sphinx, who they were fighting before the Guild was proven to exist.
And those Sphinx guys were all like 50 something. They'd been young in the Pyramid Wars, but they weren't retirees like the original Team Venture or the old Guild council when they came back to take over from 21.
So if Jonas knew that the Guild definitively existed - not just supervillains, but the GOCI itself, because he arranged a treaty between it and OSI - then that must have been relatively late in his life, maybe after Sharky's Machine was released in 1981, but certainly after Brock left college and went to work for OSI.
It's not a continuity screw-up or anything like that, it's more like it pins down the kinds of things Jonas was doing toward the end of his life, and maybe explains why Movie Night went to shit, especially if the Guild council at the time had said Gargantua-1 was off-limits.
