The pipes are either fine or destroyed in the attack. No point in worrying. Well, if the pipes aren't fine, "gave us an ocean" could be much more literal than anyone realizes. I wouldn't dismiss this literal interpretation right away. It's kooky enough to be true. Also the latest Treatise shows the Earth covered in a cataclysm of fire and water, so. Robot-eo (Arthur) and Juliet climbing Jacob's Ladder can be a metaphor for climbing in virtue up to Heaven, but also for arrogance. And the ants marching one by one out of the ground in the foreground may indicate flooding, or evacuating. Annie has the claws of death on her, and Kat has what looks to be a peacock or phoenix feather on her Victorian chatelaine. None of the latest Treatise bodes well to me in terms of avoiding something tragic. It's just a matter of time until we discover what sort of tragic it is! |

Say, did anybody ever figure out what happened to the Annan Waters when the big forest/ Court gap got squished shut?
"She gave us an ocean," indeed ...

'stallation wizard (beta test version) humor for a sunny morn... Clippy and friends memes are time-honored internet tradition; of those memes, the ones where Clippy offers to help/correct your suicide note are the best. Say, did anybody ever figure out what happened to the Annan Waters when the big forest/ Court gap got squished shut? I'm not sure anything happened to it. It's probably still there underground, running to and from whatever it was before. If anything did happen to it, it may have shifted back to a bed that it had before Coyote made the Annan gap. If you're thinking that it may be part of the "ocean" metaphor I'd guess that if it was going to erupt in an interesting way it would have done so already, or (if it was going to become a cold-water geyser) there would at least be some noticeable elevation of the land by now as it starts creating a plumbing system around where it will erupt. Even if it's only raising/lowering the ground a few centimeters that causes a lot of stress on buildings and paved surfaces that makes damage in patterns... but I suppose if it's in an area the Court has abandoned they might not have noticed yet, with all the other damage. |

The treatises refer to events that happened in the chapters before them, not after, though. |

Nobody comment; you'll only encourage him. welcome to the forum, ophidiophile! So, you have a pet snake? Oho! Somebody knows their Greek. I am currently without scaley friends (my living situation has a no pets clause), but I used to keep 6-9, with at least one (11') Burmese Python, that I used to show at schools, museums, and events. |

Mostly, although there is also some foreshadowing--for example, I believe the golem heart first appeared in Treatise 4, a couple chapters before its official introduction. |

Actually, astronomy gave me the clue... there is a large constellation Ophiuchus "the serpent bearer" who is struggling with the constellation Serpens. So I only guessed the Greek by accident! (Actually, I like snakes as well, tho don't own any. Emerald tree boas are among my faves...) |

Actually it first appeared here, though you are right, this was certainly not its formal introduction. |
