Viewing-room drift-in; bringing Blott to Hal about the tunnels

timeline_event

texture · 11 Nov YDAU

When: 11 November YDAU — into V.R.6 during the Blood Sister: One Tough Nun screening; the tunnel-detail was "that P.M."
What: Todd — his nose now "a massive proboscoid bandaged thing" — drifts into Viewing Room 6 with Idris Arslanian and Kent Blott and sits Indian-style on the carpet, considerately quiet, immediately absorbed in the film with the other littler kids. At the film's end he speaks up on business: he and the Id-man have brought Blott in to speak to Hal about something disturbing they encountered during their disciplinary shit-detail in the tunnels that P.M. — Todd as conduit, routing an alarming discovery up the Big Buddy ladder. (Why he is on disciplinary detail is not stated; plausibly Eschaton-related — inference, flagged.)
