On the Fieldship's observation deck, the Viyran Commander records in the [[Viyran Data Almanac]] that the Prolixity is in flux, growing larger and giving energy readings at the edge of Viyran [[science]]. The Rogue Viyran, whom the Commander does not recognise, tells him that the meaning will become apparent in time and asks to speak to him in private about the [[Lamentation Cipher]], something that the Commander does not believe he should know about. | On the Fieldship's observation deck, the Viyran Commander records in the [[Viyran Data Almanac]] that the Prolixity is in flux, growing larger and giving energy readings at the edge of Viyran [[science]].

Before leaving the Jolly Brewer, Robert admits that he is not a detective nor an adventurer nor a magnet for trouble as he had originally told her; he is actually an [[investment broker]] who works for [[Bert Buchan|his father]], whom he does not get along with. A Viyran stops them from leaving and tells them that Charley will be returned to the Fieldship Prime whilst Robert has his memory erased once again. She is kept on the observation deck to await an interview with the Viyran Commander. | Before leaving the Jolly Brewer, Robert admits that he is not a detective nor an adventurer nor a magnet for trouble as he had originally told her; he is actually an [[investment broker]] who works for [[Bert Buchan|his father]], whom he does not get along with.

Robert is woken up by a call from his father, Bert Buchan, and confirms what he has heard about the expansion of the Prolixity. Bert sees this as an opportunity to make [[money]]. | Robert is woken up by a call from his father, Bert Buchan, and confirms what he has heard about the expansion of the Prolixity.
