Fraa Jesry

Fraa Jesry is an avout (math scholar-monk) of the Concent of Saunt Edhar (walled monastic community), a close peer of Fraa Erasmas, and a practical hand at observation-driven work associated with lines of inquiry tied to Fraa Orolo. Earlier accounts include interior speely (recorded video) footage from the capsule engaged with the visitors that shows Jesry aboard, offering concise, technical guidance and real-time observations to the Warden of Heaven’s team. By the time of the Convox (large convocation of avout) at the Concent of Saunt Tredegarh, Jesry is again working among the avout and interacting with Erasmas.

Appearance and Traits

• Tall with a distinctive, self-contained gait recognizable to peers.
• Direct, succinct, and pragmatic; favors measurable facts and clear deductions.
• Wry, needling humor under tension; steady confidence in others’ ability to follow the reasoning.

Roles and Actions

Space mission involvement (interior speely)

• Seen inside a space capsule during a rendezvous with the visitors’ icosahedral craft, participating in crew conversation and procedures.
• Advises keeping observations concrete (e.g., visible symmetries, periodicities such as breathing rates) to build common reference points; questions assumptions about what the visitors will recognize.
• Makes operational calls (e.g., activity on the base plate, an incoming bogey, communication and telemetry issues), using precise technical language.

Work at Tredegarh during the Convox

• Jesry visits Erasmas while the latter is confined for health precautions and argues that cross-infection is unlikely. His reasoning: a recorded spot of the visitors’ laser showed a wavelength (captured on a photomnemonic tablet—exact-light recorder) that does not match any natural spectral line; this is consistent with devices made from newmatter (engineered nuclei). From this he infers that the visitors’ atoms and ours do not support the same complex biochemistry, making infection improbable; he predicts Erasmas will be released soon. (All of this is presented as Jesry’s explanation to Erasmas.)
• In the same conversation, Jesry notes that fragments recovered from the landing (e.g., hardware pieces, cloth, a sample box) and the deceased visitor’s body—preserved through Orolo’s actions—are being studied; he attributes the same “newmatter” signature to all of it. He uses this to extend the no-infection inference in both directions.
• Arsibalt reports that when Jesry returned from space a large gathering was convened to brief the Convox, indicating that Jesry’s role is widely recognized among avout present at Tredegarh.

Thought and Debate

• In small-group settings Jesry tends toward simple, testable explanations and prefers to cut through elaborate proposals when a direct argument will do.

Relationships and Affiliations

• Erasmas: Long-standing peer and collaborator. Jesry seeks him out at Tredegarh to share results and inferences.
• Ala: Jesry states that after their Voco (formal summoning rite) he and Ala began a liaison; he expects not to hear from her until she decides how to proceed.
• Orolo: Jesry’s practical efforts align with inquiries associated with Orolo; he refers to outcomes made possible by Orolo’s intervention at the landing site.

Current Status

• Present at the Concent of Saunt Tredegarh for the Convox, moving freely and participating in discussions. Reported by peers to have returned from space prior to these events.

Notes

• Some at Tredegarh briefly referred to Orolo as “Saunt Orolo” following the viewing of certain footage; Jesry remarks that usage has since become more cautious among others. This reflects shifting opinion at the Convox, not an official declaration.
• The term “rod” is heard in conversation as a verb for a kinetic strike; Jesry uses plain, even slangy, language alongside precise technical terms when summarizing risks.
