Armitage Hux remembers his name and the flicker of Black. Red. Black. Red. Black. Red.

Summary
Arthur swallows, the line of his throat bobbing in the crisp twilight. “I – what must I do? To stop this. To save him.”
The dragon stares down, gaze heavy. “Understand this, Arthur. To find the strength to save you, Merlin has shaken the foundations of this world. He has drawn from nature that which does not belong to him, has filled himself to bursting with the magic of this land. That can only be put right by returning it.”

Summary
“Sounds like astrology for maths majors.”
“Maths doctorates,” says Q, which is an interesting revelation, if only to imagine him in a classroom with a stick of chalk and a blackboard, tracing some A Beautiful Mind-style formulae for a crowd of perplexed undergrads. Perhaps these days it’s all on screens, though. “Obviously, the idea of prophecy via hidden numerical interpretation is bunk. But there are some extremely interesting ancient applications in the works of Greek philosophers, and even some early Bible scholars.”
In the darkness Bond closes his eyes, and considers the preferable option: silence, or Q’s esoteric dissertation.
“Tell me more,” he says.
