Recalled lecturing on the sweat-chemistry of madness

texture · 14 Nov YDAU

• When: 14 Nov YDAU, the Ennet House common area, inside Marathe's recollection during his veiled infiltration visit.
• What: Studying a goat-smelling, floridly paranoid fellow intake at close range — through the U.H.I.D. veil that is Marathe's own infiltration disguise; no one else in the room wears one — Marathe reaches for a datum from an old Broullîme lecture: trans-3-methyl-2 hexenoic acid, a chemical material in the sweat of grave mental illness — the sort of thing Broullîme lectured on to pass times in long surveillances. The cell's font of technical trivia, characterized entirely through Marathe's memory; not present.
