Jocasta, Roger, and Mitch deal with the fallout of their tussle with the girtablullû coin-keeper while three bašmu men in black make a break for it in a hijacked car.

Episode One in The Legend of Jimmy Trocano.

Mitch finds a coin from a time and place that has never existed.

“Not only do [the Illuminated] know more than the common run of man, they know how to use that knowledge. They possess the muscle and the lever.”

Jocasta and Mitch encounter one of the Red Kings’ servants cleaning a coin in the St. Francis Hotel basement.

Westercon ‘73 gets a little strange • The St. Francis slips deeper into ontological instability • Viv meets the field team • Jocasta arrives at the scene, loaded for bear • Roger runs damage control • The office team debates how to counteract Carl and Richie’s plan • Marshall worries about the PR fallout with Granite Peak • Archie starts formulating the idea of a meme-laden live-action “role playing game” • Mitch and Jocasta go bull hunting

Roger enlists Viv’s aid to implement URIEL’s game-meme — Atlantis Arisen! — at Westercon ‘73.

Archie explains a bit about esmology to Andy, and the two invent a new type of game. Or meme. Or game-meme.

"That's a large and effective parcel," Mitch says in Danbe. It sounds better in Danbe.

The office team at Livermore have an unsettling conversation with one of Roger’s less savory “personalities.”

Mitch dials into Livermore to report on the deteriorating situation at the St. Francis — and Jocasta posits the idea of using a live action “play” to re-establish consensus reality.

Roger lets the Devil out.

Sophie and Charley visit the Cyclotron Building at Berkeley to discover what Carl and Richie were up to. They also have a pretty serious conversation about dreams and Project loyalty.

“But I have to say they weren't my cup of tea, Abeille's books, I mean everything in them is all … squishy and strange, you know? Plus I think she's misread B.F. Skinner.”
