I would like to point out that for this story we're collaborating now, we're not focusing on the Organization/Consortium, so it should be alright. However, looking at future stories involving Sarah. . ..

If we want to make everything as efficiently canon as possible, perhaps we can combine the two ideas. As of right now, much of Sarah's backstory with the Organization is unclear, and much of what they've done (experimenting on children, etc.) is unclear in motive, and up in the air. Sarah, you said you're basing the Organization strongly off of Paracelsus' Warehouses, and the Consortium, by the sound of things, is more along the lines of enlightenment. If we're talking advanced technology/amassing of knowledge, then it's feasible that they might be two branches of the same thing, since Paracelsus' Warehouses focused on science and technology, as well as the combining of artifacts for efficiency use.

Now, what if they are two parts of the same branch? The Consortium focuses on the acquisition of knowledge and advanced technology, using what the Organization learns for its advancements. The Organization focuses on using the knowledge of artifacts to lead the world to a better place, and sees the idea of combining artifacts as a method to attain further knowledge. Perhaps the experimentation on children back in the 1910s was a test to see how much knowledge could be stored in a human brain, and since younger brains are more. . . . mushy (I don't know the scientific term, but they are better at learning more than adults), they were the perfect test subjects.

Now, I don't know exactly how long the Consortium has been around. Probably long before Eureka came to be. Now, the split also appears in the finding of information. The Consortium focuses on Eureka because that's where the scientific advances of humanity occur. The Organization has focused on the Warehouse because that's where artifacts are stored. If they had access to all of the knowledge-boosting artifacts in the world, imagine what they could do. And if combined with artifacts that can cause enlightenment with a wide proximity range, they the Consortium's goal would be easily accomplished.

That's just one take on it, of course. Feel free to rip this apart with the (many) flaws it probably has. It can be adjusted, of course, but I think it's a plausible idea.

Going back to Mr. Brown, I like the idea of a photographic memory/perfect recall. It's something that is plausible and useful in his line of work, and perfect recall might allow him to have a "foresight" of sorts by using past circumstance to predict the most likely outcomes. And I'll ask Gunji about Black Butler.
