How It All Goes Down
Pressia (Stars)
- Quick check on Wilda: she's in her bed, and still trembling.
- Pressia goes back to the cottage where Bradwell is, and she finds him and El Capitan talking. They're hunched over Hastings, who they were able to debug. They successfully took out his ticker.
- Hastings is pretty out of it though.
- Pressia has a thought about the constellations: maybe they're coordinates. Maybe the formula can be found there.
- Surprisingly, El Capitan jumps to it: he knows a lot about stars.
- Really? El Capitan knows about stars?
- He talks about the Cygnus and how it was an important constellation.
- They decide to look at Willux's love poem again to see if it has any clues. It does. It mentions something called The Holy Mound, which must be the location of the formula.
- After some intense brainstorming, they conclude that they need to search for holy sites — and voila, ten come up.
- Wait, no. They didn't want ten. They wanted one.
- Bradwell to the rescue, though. They wanted ancient cites, not just regular holy cites.
- The search then dwindles down to only one: Newgrange. Which, by the way, was one of the ancient Domes that Glassings mentioned in Pure.
- So that's the place: they're going to Newgrange. But they need a plane. And there are no planes left anywhere. Bummer.
- But there is at least one airship, seeing that The Message was delivered via airship.
- Hastings wakes up conveniently at this time and tells them he has maps in his head.
