What's up with that red effect? It looks great, but I always assume things are more than stylistic choices...
Let's hope the red circles are to an as yet unseen ancient artefact what the watch motif in Dani's session with Zenon was to the then unseen watch. And not just a circular herring.
I know sometimes some people do just want to have sex (the fools) but I don't think it's stretching things too much to assume that there's some plot hanging on this. And plot in SJI usually provides scope for some kind of mind control.
