dec 1, 2012 - Dominic Swain meets Mary and Gerard Keay, Ex Altiora burned

Description:

Dominic Swain does research into Ex Altiora, and is led to the shop Pinhole Books, run by Mary Keay. She shows him her own Leitner, the one written in Sanskrit which produces warped animal bones. Later that night, after he goes home, Gerard Keay buys Ex Altiora from him for $5,000, and then proceeds to burn it (MAG 4). The timeline is uncertain, with Dominic claiming "it was the night of the last run of the show he'd been working." Seeing as there is no average/standard for how long a show will run, and based on the fact that Dominic has asked around and done an adequate (but not extensive) amount of preliminary research into Ex Altiora, I am personally guessing this took place anytime over the next few weeks.
