Wait a second (time pun, lul)...the fact that the watchmaker-guy just tested the Medusa means they told him about the verbal commands, right? Isnt that a bit irresponsible, considering he was more or less just revived? Even if they assumed that it has no energy left, thats one hell of a risk. What if he turned out to be some nutjob that tries a large-scale petrification right of the bat? Not to mention the possibility of the rest of the bad guys finding out about the verbal commands (if they dont already know about them).
