Things do not look good for old Tobber!

Will this be a Murder on the Orient Express situation?

Meh. Merely finding his mechanical nose isn't particularly noteworthy. Finding him stuffed inside it, or some such, would be more concerning.

ETA: Perhaps Prof. Homlomium wears his mechanical nose as protection from being wasped, and the plumber has just discovered that it's all gummed up with bug bits.

Odd that we haven't seen any wasp attacks since the Siege of Mechanicsburg. We almost saw one in Paris at the big party, but apparently Zola didn't get a chance to put her plan into action. And the revenants in the civilizations beneath Paris seem to have been wasped before we met them.

But we have seen wasps being used recently.
Gil is convinced that the 'Queen of the Dawn' who "achieved the mass mental takeover of an entire population" is Lucrezia:

And Woger and Susa saw the town of Hraggels Point being wasped:

But that happened before the big party in Paris, no?

By the way, I had missed this the first time around: The page before that one mentions the death of the sovereign of the principality of Holfung-Borzoi, apparently in the course of a takeover by the Queen of the Dawn. [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20150608] The (formerly?) late Princess Zulenna Luzhakna would now be in the line of succession if the normal rules were followed, and if she hadn't died. Hmm ... I guess that will be one more stop on the Grand Tour of Europa at some time or another.

And Woger and Susa saw the town of Hraggels Point being wasped

Ah. I had forgotten that one ... but again, the wasping occurs off-stage and before the big party in Paris.

I hope we see more of Woger and Susa in the future.

Regarding Princess Zulenna - Kaja was reported to say we will see her in England.

If the Foglios wanted a shout-out to MotOE, they should've done it when Agatha was on the train.

[jbwoodford]

Ah, but it probably won't be. More likely a shout-out to _And Then There Were None_.

[murgatroyd666]

Oh, my! I'll bet you're right!

[spectrum_09]

I suspect Prende's Lantern was involved.
