You boys are the only ones who could answer this, you neurotic fucks. Why is Slothrop in The Zone? Is he tracking down parts for Shell? I get that he's a part of several IG Farben related conspiracies, but what is British Intelligence's gain in letting him run around Germany?

Letting Slothrop run around Germany wasn't the plan, Pointsman lost contact with him once he ran away from the Casino Hermann Goering. Dodson-Truck was supposed to prevent him from escaping, but let Slothrop go after their drinking game.

Slothrop is in the zone because he is trying to escape Them and find the answers to what is going on and his own backstory

but there's intimation that the Conspiracy wanted Slothrop out there in The Zone anyway. Tracking rocket 00000. They want him out there, and why?Round page 600 there's talk about Slothrop being the GPS on the Schwarzkommando. What's that about? Insurance against the state within the state?
Besides, why does Pointsman want Slothrop at the Casino anyway? and why have him studying rocket parts?
