Population at Entra

Summary

Analysis

• The 298 is mentioned after Koenig witnessed Blake Maine's death.
• It seems the scan covers both short-term memories (e.g. the interrogator discovers Koenig knows Ellna is a dead world) and long-term memories (e.g. Moonbase Alpha, satellite of Earth).
• Interrogator: "His brain resists certain questions. He has a strong will." Though not implied, it is possible that Koenig resisted on this count, but why would he resist on the count? Plus, the number is similar to others mentioned throughout some prior episodes.

Results

• It thus seems likely the 298 accounts for the fact of Maine's death. This is not certain, but the Editor will use this as an assumption (i.e. that the count went from 299 to 298 with Maine's death) throughout this KB.
• The "Metamorph" 297 + Maya - 6 deaths from Psychon through Entra (inclusive) =not= 298, so assuming these verifiable losses only, one would have to assume 7 more births between Psychon and Entra to reconcile the numbers.
