I’ll be honest, Birdie, for a second I thought you’d lost it. Who am I talking to in my dreams? I’ll give you three guesses.

It was Harry, of course, who reminded me that I said something just like this once last year. It’s…eerie, the way that she instantly knew what you were talking about when I finished translating your code. It’s like having her read my mind and find thoughts that I didn’t even know were there.

You said this was the final one, so I guess we’ve got all the numbers but….they don’t really make sense. We’re pretty sure we’ve got the latitude right, but the longitude isn’t…the grouping of month and day would mean that the longitude is halfway around the world and then the date that you gave for the seconds is over sixty, which doesn’t make any sense either.

(a beat)

(gasps) A zero! It’s missing a zero, you changed up the date format for the last one—it’s not 12/13, it’s 121, 39—okay, I think I get it now!

Holy shit. I—we’re not even that far from this. We can be there…tomorrow. Holy shit.

And it’s…safe? This place you’re sending us to? You’re sure it’s safe. Because even if Fox or Junior can’t work out the code, it seems like Fox can still just…figure out where people are, which doesn’t bring me a lot of comfort.

But…we’ve gone too far to go back now.
