They were able to get Penemue to answer these questions while under the influence of gamma-scopolamine.
- Oracle referenced a He, who is He? — He is Deus (Liam realizes she's using it as a proper noun, as much as it also means "god"), He is love, He is guidance, He is truth. Okay… I won't say he works in mysterious ways. I do as I'm told. Perhaps those who submerged deeper have more insight. (She has five bands.)
- What is the process of becoming a White? — After being tested and deemed worthy, the white receives a datajack, and then are physically bathed in His pool while submerging in the Resonance. (She cannot explain what the Resonance is, only that it is His pure source.) Those who are unworthy are retained for other projects. All children are His children, even if they are not gifted as the Banded are.
- Why are all the Whites so young? — Adults do not have the flexibility of mind and spirit to encounter the Resonance and survive with their minds intact. My mind is better than it ever has been - smarter, brighter, clearer. I assume it is the same for the others. The youngest she is aware of was 6.
- Where are the Whites trained/processed? — The baths are on Level 303. Training takes place through His temple (the arcology).
- What is it that Whites do to gain bands? — Submersion is a voluntary process. When a White believes they are ready to embrace Him and delve deeper into the Resonance, they can petition to undergo the process. She can't explain what worthiness entails, unless you have experienced the Resonance. It is not something that can be "gamed".
