The A.F.R. trap: Orin under the giant inverted tumbler

pivotal · ?/20 Nov YDAU

• When: ~20 November YDAU (Orin's "technical interview"; Fortier's Southwest technical interview with Luria per the parallel A.F.R. timeline)
• What: Orin comes to inside an inverted bathroom-type tumbler "the size of a cage or small jail cell" on the floor, air running out (CO2 already steaming the glass), the "dexterous and adoring Swiss hand-model" and the wheelchaired "survey"-fan watching greenly through the glass while an amplified voice demands to know "Where Is The Master Buried" — the buried Master of the Entertainment (cf. Joelle's grave-in-the-Concavity testimony). The glass is too thick to break: "it felt like he might have possibly broken the leg's foot already trying" to kick out — the punting Leg he prays over (event 28). His own roach-and-tumbler ritual (event 25) is turned against him: the A.F.R. slide the screen back and pour sewer roaches in, and Orin — splayed white against the glass — shrieks "Do it to her! Do it to her!" Luria P. (who'd lobbied merely for gloves and "two or three minutes alone with the Subject's testicles") rolls her eyes at the theatrical Fortier. This is the last attestation of Orin in range; his fate and whether he yields the grave's location are left open.
