“I was trying to figure out which of those mounds was Meditation Knoll, Karoz.”
“Did you get it?”
“Yeah.”
“Good.”
“So to the topic of the night: Norum. You must begin to remember.”
“I remember,” says Karoz, looking at his nails. “I remember some.”
“Tell me about Sapphire.”
“Mother. Before she was Turquoise. Then she became the Lapiz and the Lazuli when the Linden Labs came and erased our Lemony ways. Norum was no more. Time passed.”
“How did you come into the, er, care of Sapphire.”
“I was given to Sapphire by the Gypsies of The Moon. Another 3-n-1.”
“What does that mean, Karoz?”
“There were 3 Gypsies who were actually one. Gypsy Rose, Gypsy Devarue, I think (sp?) and one other I can’t remember the last name of. But all three claimed to actually be this Gypsy Rose.”
“And this was on the moon of the Maebaleia or Satori continent, take your pick.”
“Yes.”

“We’re going to use the Oracle, Karoz, to help us move forward.”
“Go ahead.”

“Well, we know Gypsey is intimately connected to Grassy.”
“Another knoll,” Karoz responds. “Grassy Noll. Better known, hehe, as Salad Bar Jack.”
“Gypsy was his partner.”
“Yes.”

“Then the Arab… Barracuda is Arab kind of sideways or backwards.”
“Right.”
“That was the ship that brought you to Jeogeot. Through the portal. 10 to 6 to 3 to 1 is the way Sapphire put it. Then you were at Mos Ainsley, the moon of *Jeogeot*. The twin to the moon of Maebaleia just as Jeogeot and Maebaleia themselves are twins. Opposites. 180 degree spins of the same 3d landmass.”
“Correct.”
“So the ship The Arab is the same as Barracuda.”
“Wilson sisters. 3 instead of 2. Gypsies.”
