Checksum.

Mint initiated a mind-meeting with Runner.

- 'i have information about Celestial Chorus & Technocracy' - she spoke,
- 'what it is?' - Runner asked.
- 'write a message, noting numbers - i'll explain later' - she answered.

He did it, message was as follows:

'He has to live. Allah's Will' 31
'He has to die. Allah's Will' 27

She explained Runner that it's about him, that it's technocracy's intercepted message, checksummed using Isopsephy, ancient-greek technique of summing letters with numbers. Each letter contains number assigned, then these are summed.

- 'If number is valid, message holds. Otherwise - disregard' - She explained.
- 'But there's more' - Caty added, joining meeting - 'There are different isopsephies, using different numbers. It's an ages-old trick, if numbers add, using different table - they do not have to add using a table known to You, Runner'.
- 'So we don't know if i have to live, but i felt a strong power of the Prime overcoming me just recently. They said they will let me live, and that terrorists i'll face won't be too strong. If i screw it however, i'll die anyway. Because that's Allah's Will.' - Runner added.
- 'So you expected it?' - Mint spoke,
- 'More or less it's true' - He answered.

They conculded the meeting with that, not sure what to do next.
