Who has taken the Osiris Stone?

The DunRaven Episode 29 came out a little late yesterday but as always it had a statement on its thumbnail. This is common with all the videos and most of the text in the thumbnails seem to be there to make people think about incidents that are either within the video, have happened before, connect with other intel, etc. In this case it brought up a question that very few have an idea about. Who has taken the Osiris Stone?
Unless you are in investigations, this was a very odd question to ask. No where in the videos, or previous videos did it show some one taking the Osiris Stone. It is seen in the video being gifted to the Ko Lan team that won, and nothing else. So the question seems to indicate what the next and last video will be about, but does it? These videos have sync'd up with other intel drops before and there was an incident that happened in Chicago that not everyone knows. An incident that Operation Essex was a part of and got to hear about as it happened.
Stuart Lightner, the voice of Nemesis that has been chatting it up in Essex, was present at Chicago. He often RPE'd into a man named Spencer who was a camera man at the event. After the anomaly, i noticed that this person had a hold of the Osiris stone. He was taking it apart and shoving it in a dark bag. I approached him, thinking he was Spencer at the time, and he ran with the stone. Stuart did everything to lose me, even threatening to shard me if i continued to pursue him. I luckily got a picture of him entering an elevator with the stone tucked under his arm in a grey bag. Nemesis at one point in time after the event, had stolen the Osiris Stone from the Ko lan agents.
I informed investigations and luckily they were able get a hold of Calvin to tell him the stone was taken. Stuart had given Spencer back his body shortly after this incident and returned to the afterparty without the stone in tow. There was a span of chaos as we tried to figure out what had happened to the stone when Calvin approached me. He informed me that both Hanks were able to get the stone back from Stuart and that we didn't need to worry. In hindsight, i probably should have taken both Hanks aside to talk to them about how they got the stone back but i had taken Calvins word... Looking back at the incident, the release of the video, and after having conversations in Essex with others, it became clear that i overlooked one thing. Calvin had been RPED into before this stone went missing, and i had no proof that the person i talked after the incident was actually Calvin and not the person who had taken over his body during the announcements.....
Now it could still be true that Calvin told the truth, that the stone had been recovered at the event and had just ended up missing again. But we do know who was aiming at the event to steal that stone. Nemesis... And we have no idea what Stuart did with the stone in the brief time that he had it.

I am a little behind - has Stuart been heard from since last seen in Spencer's body? Was Stuart the person who had RPEd into Calvin's body?
I should note that I talked to Hank Prime the day after, and he also stated that the stone was recovered. So I'm pretty sure that it was actually recovered, and that we can assume Calvin told the truth.
However, I'm kinda surprised that the stone was recovered so easily. Could Stuart have done what he needed already?
Perhaps that depends on what function the Stone was/is serving - is it like a key that can open a door and is not needed after the door is open or is it more like a battery - where it needs to be connected to whatever it is intended to do?
As usual, Calvin was indeed RPEd into during the announcement at the anomaly, but we cannot confirm nor denied that it was Stuart. It might have been another member of nemesis. What we do know, is that Stuart was RPEing into a poor camera man from the crew, this camera man was very nice to talk to but Stuart was rather creepy and he had that dark sense of humour we've seen in the Dunraven's killing simulacra videos.
Stuart was clearly there for a reason? Might have been to take the stone at teh event when nobody was looking?
Ishira seems to have evidence that this was indeed the case.
Btw, Stuart was very sketchy when asked if Nemesis was a corporation or an independent group... I'm becoming more convinced that they were (maybe in its beginnings) a group born inside Hulong who may or may not have grown independent afterwards.
It could be that Nemesis might need the Osiris Stone to stop the recursions of the Niantic simulacra. Calvin mentioned the artifact can be used to invite Exogenous Entities. Maybe it can also be used to stop XM Entities i.e. simulacra from reforming or rematerializing?
Stuart has not been heard from at all since the Chicago anomaly. I'm happy to hear Hank prime confirmed the stone was recovered but it seems something may have happened to it again, or it's possible stuart did something to it. I doubt it was that easy to get the stone back... maybe the Hanks did something to Stuart also which is why we haven't heard from him again?
Just to be clear as we document the Stone's affects - Stuart, in Spencer's body, was holding the stone, with no gloves and was still able to inhabit Spencer's body, correct? So the Stone. just by touch, does not affect that?
Also - could there be a copycat of the Stone floating around as well? I seem to remember 1218 Hank and Jahan getting into fake artifacts.
Yes, stuart had no gloves one when he started stuffing the osiris stone in the bag. He didnt even hesitate so it didnt seem to being activated in any way.
And it's possible that not all the pieces are original anymore
Pieces? is the Stone part of a larger artifact?
it's my understanding, based on the videos of it, that it is made of 6 smaller pieces of stone. I'm suggesting that the reason Stuart may have given it up so easily is because he only needed it long enough to switch out a piece or two.
How many pieces have been located?
All of them were together with the stone when it was found and if the stone is missing right now, we havent really been given details on which parts of it are or if all of it is.
Stuart came into Essex yesterday to give us the final dunraven video and confirm with us that the stone has been recovered not once but twice now. It seems Nemesis wants the stone and is willing to do anything to get it, including killing one of the people that keeps getting it back from them.
Counter-Question, wasn't the Osiris Stone one of the Artifacts used in the Prime Epiphany Night RPE's (if my memory serves me right, it was needed to allow for focussed access to the Osiris universe after being combined with another xm artifact whose name escaped my mind)?
If so, would combining it with another, more destructive artifact be able to unleash DEVASTATION specificly targeted onto the Prime universe?
