Math. I was using other people's words. Loki called them symbols in his post.

They also said the symbols naturally occur throughout history which means they're universal patterns which means someone has figured out the math to it long ago. The coordinates Ball gave you could be a starting place and the actual gate could be at the end of the equation.

Actually, that's not a bad idea. I was worried you meant symbols because then we'd have to somehow find out if New Oslo had symbols.

I think we can look at this world for inspiration. The pyramids are tied to the whole geometry thing, and I don't think that's an accident either. Maybe it is? But wouldn't there be better shapes for what they need to do?

But if we look at a map of New Oslo, or—I don't know, schematics, maybe we can figure out how they've utilized those symbols mathematically. I don't just mean geometrically, but perhaps using the Fibonacci sequence.

Mind you, I couldn't tell you where to begin with that.

I'm not sure my maths are up to snuff.

[ she has only met one givin but her greeting maths equation resulted in three so she knows she isn't a mathematician. the pitfalls of educating herself. math is, luckily, the same everywhere it seems. ]

My father would be useful here. We might need to outsource the equations themselves.

Funny. My dad would be good for this, too. He was an engineer.

Do we have anyone left who's good at math?

Cassian's brilliant. Irritatingly so.

[ she loves him but sometimes he is so good at seemingly everything that she also wants to punch him in the nose. #romance ]

I can see if he can manage it and if not, we're coming up on that time again.

Yeah, we are.

How did it go in New Beijing? I mean, how is the batch? Things kinda got silent from what I could see.

I don't think anyone got murdered except some UNA. There's a catgirl, her name is Catra.

[ jyn loves her because jyn is tired of humans. ]

There's some nice people, some messy people. It's hard to tell at first glance, you know? Gabe hit me with a chair but now I think he's not that bad.

Did Gabe do this in the base or was this a reference to something he did before?

Back in New Tokyo.

Well, yeah. I get your point then. Time passes.

It wasn't looking good at the end. I was talking to Daisy while she was in the base and the UNA hit back HARD. It could have been a bloodbath. I'm shocked the UNA didn't called it a Morningstar terrorist attack.

[ she does send clarke the news reports she has read and watched in case clarke hasn't kept up on that front. ]

They don't want to inspire Morningstar's supporters. Can't call it that when they pulled off something that big.

Luckily they weren't actually prepared. Strange was full of bantha shit.

You know they take kids? Second kids. They just take them and give them to rich assholes that want a kid of their own.

[ it wasn't the una specifically but the nbpd is part of the un power structure so they're all rolled into one to jyn. ]

The UNA takes kids?

[And ... gives them away?]

NBPD

We stopped a bunch of them but we're gone now

Well, at least we can rule out them stealing babies to be soldiers still.

You did what you could, Jyn. Even if it doesn't feel like it was enough. You gave them hope.
