Hints:
- Jack’s notebook says that it’s 6/4/1977
- This is the first time we’ve seen someone used multiple lenses in the I.D.O.L. By the sound of it, this is the first time it’s been tried
- The tape recorder shows one memory transfer, a request for more memories, and then a second transfer. The first one would have only used one lens, while the second used all four.
- Similar to the debacle we had with Tesa in Chapter 3, how it’s believed the lenses works and how they actually work are not identical
- The console says that all Lemurian technology at the museum is nonfunctional. That’s likely for the best; many of them look dangerous
- The four gadgets in the broken case are not clearly labeled and can only be distinguished by the fact that are from distinct eras with distinctive visual styles
- The drawing on the back wall showcases a Goofus and Gallant style fable of the dangers of memory transferring. It shows a person being rendered blank by a transfer and a second person becoming the first through a transfer.
- Remember from chapter 4 that Eugene wanted Jack to simplify the time rune minute values to nice whole numbers? When you’re doing scientific math, you do need to use the exact full number
- Jack’s B recording says that he could try something to get another 4.01 days of memories, or 5,774.4 minutes (4.01 * 24 * 60)
- Which is a little beneath the sum of the three lenses that aren’t one month: 1.22+ 1,503.49 + 4,297.63 = 5802.34, which comes out to 4.03 days.
- The only way to get a number as big on the one on Jack’s calculator is to multiply.
- 1.22 * 1,503.59 * 4,297.63 * 43,313.58 = 341,461,986,807.8053, but they only use two decimals, so 341,461,986,807.81
- The Progress era is red tubes, Restraint is blue-gray with segmented olive tubes, Turmoil is teal bodies with bright yellow/pink/green accents, and Golden is gold bodies with jewels.
- Is that statue supposed to be holding something?
- It should be noted that 1977 is the same year of the prologue scenario Constriction, where Oriel Toussiant killed Morg Brakka while speaking Lemurian.
- Well, at the time we thought it was Oriel Toussiant. That’s the body’s name.
