"At this time I am officially connecting the murder of Oliver Smith to my existing case and folding them together under the case name GNOMON. All inquiries to me direct. No release of information without reference to me personally, and I will defend that order to any quorum up to the national level. I repeat: default no release. It is possible that this is the most important case you will ever work on. Any of you. Be proud today. Be fearless. Do your job well." To the Witness: "Meaning: catabasis." Because you don’t stop looking at a slim, complex clue just because someone dangles a fat, distractingly obvious one in front of your face.
