Ok, so I just finished reading Cryptum and I must say, the climactic moments were more than a little bit confusing. I've narrowed things down into questions for your convenience. [spoiler]1. Where the hell did Mendicant Bias come from and how was his presence not detected long before he was able to start causing havoc? 2. How was the missing 12th Halo's sudden reappearance and approach on the capital not detected? 3. The Master Builder saw Mendicant Bias and yet he refused to warn anyone. Why? 4. Why wasn't there more of a defensive force around the capital? 5. Why is the Librarian so adamant and accepting of Bornstellar being the Didact and her husband, while at the same time admitting to him being a different person than the Didact? 6. The entire scene aboard the Falco watching the attack on the capital. Way too many things going on for me to fully understand what all happened. 7. At the end, why do they make it sound like the Didact is still missing when earlier it was said that he'd been at the capital but had left to attend to another matter?[/spoiler] If any of these are properly and clearly answered in Primordium, just put 'Read Primordium' as the answer. Thanks in advance!
