BE Chap 26 cont.

[Mark Kohut]

Maxine thinks she sees a link between
Darren the intern and the DeepArcher splash screen.

Naftali, ex-Mossad boyfriend and another polyamory joke,
Maxine learns Ziggy is called a "tough guy".

back at 285..."thanks to some intervention nobody knows how to name
found her way to the silent, stretched presence at the edge of the world
and copied
what she remembered and immediately forgot the way back there"....

As Maxine knows there is no connection between Darren and
DeepArcher....that "the figure
was always there"........................

Hmm......what's this all about?
