How It All Goes Down
Pressia (Cygnus)
- Bradwell and Pressia are splitting up the work to figure out what Willux's notes meant: Bradwell is working with the wording, and Pressia's working with the numbering.
- Pressia mentions her old friend Fandra, who Bradwell used to know. Apparently she was one of the last people to explore an underground passage.
- Unfortunately, she was one of the last because she got lost and probably died.
- They decide to go for a walk to get some fresh air, and they have a huge brainstorming session.
- Pressia talks about pi (no, not pie), and how Fignan has the symbol of pi on his back.
- They end up linking pi with circles, and then with Domes. They figure out some of the random numbers were coordinates for the constellation called The Northern Cross, or, Cygnus.
- Apparently the name Brigid means "fiery arrow," and links to a saint who was involved in blacksmithing and fire.
- They also link Partridge's middle name (Crick) and Sedge's (Watson) to the founders of DNA. And that links to the snakes Willux drew that looked like double helixes.
- Great stuff here… but it's confusing and, as of now, meaningless.
- They finally give up brainstorming and Pressia decides to break off from Bradwell to visit Wilda.
- Just before she goes though, she asks him about the whole itchy knee, sun, she go thing.
- Ah ha, it was Japanese! Apparently Pressia was counting.
