Up above the hole in the ground, Ira is speaking to her watch:
"Are you certain?"
"It's not that I don't trust you. It's just that you said we didn't do this until after..."
"But this reduces our advantage-"

"But this reduces our advantage-"
"Perhaps if Three knows what happened to the others? After they make their plan and then seem to vanish?"
"That's a good question, yeah. Also - where did the Botfly come from, why today, what happened to Josephine..."
"What happened to Josephine is a very good question. How, why does it wipe things out of complete existence if it needs people like it seems to."
"That's a good one, yeah. Why is the Moment shrinking, can we stop or slow it. How is the Botfly communicating with Ira. How does the space between times work, from her perspective."
"Yeah. Probably not. But - if the talking thing is - weird stuff produced by us, or can it actually speak English."
A bit of putting herself together, then - "We should. Probably go see if she's okay to talk."
"We have some questions," Jenn says, calmly enough, and still staying in contact with her Bina.
"I think the first thing that's worrying us is the fact that the Moment seems to be finite, is there a way to fix that? Or build a new one?"
"Not with your resources. I used a fragment of the day that already existed to make it. There were enough in my loop. A few in Four's. None by Six's. Even for me, it would generate a tremendous amount of entropy to make a second - enough to threaten your loop's existence."
"It's kind of an inherent problem. I'm not sure why you're shrinking so fast, actually," she says, looking at something off screen, "Even with three living people and - a teenaged ghost - the rate of shrinkage should be slowing..."
"Unfortunately, no, that's not what's going on." Pause. "Can you tell us how the Devices work? The time machines, the Viewers, the Moment itself?"
