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-"
To the diagrams! Jenn lays them out, and points out the stuff she's identified, and the stuff that's getting in her way.
She, unfortunately, doesn't know what most of the terminology means. It's weird and unfamiliar. Some of it sounds made up.
There's something off too, poking at her. Not just the 'if Three didn't want us messing with them, why did they break', but also -
The little dark line on the left, with the multiple short little perpendicular lines through it, that Twelve called clamps, and the diagrams called signal filters, that don't look much like either - with a little black box called 'support' that looks attached -
She stops. Lowers the diagram, eyes wide.
"This!" She says, pointing at the little squiggle. "Six calls it a signal filter, Twelve calls it a clamp, Three didn't even include it - there's that little split thingy under it above output - where'd we leave the hazmat supplies - "
"Uh, I think Elizabeth knows that one? I think I might've been unconscious for it?"
Jenn watches her go, a little perplexed, but figuring that Bina will have a good reason.
"On the diagram! It's not a clamp, or a signal filter - you see it, right, it's a switch - and why would Three sabotage the Viewers if she didn't want us messing with them - then if she wants us to mess with them, she should sabotage the Viewers - "
Jenn looks at it. "-You're right. It's- of course. It's simple when you think about it..."
"Great! That's what I thought!"
She swings the hammer.
Right through the back of the Viewer in question.
"Sorry!" she calls, reaching through and fumbling.
It is, in fact, a switch.
There's a click, and the Viewer flickers on.
Bina.
Tired. Deep circles below her eyes. The Moment on a string around her neck.
But a Bina
"Hello, Jenn," she intones. "I've been waiting to meet you."
"Yes. Though I don't think I'm the Third loop. And you'd be Elizabeth, wouldn't you?" she asks, nodding to the woman. "Where's my future self?"
Jenn doesn't think about it, just reaches out and takes her Bina's hand.
