"Why, you will destroy us all!"
* * * * * * * * * *
These are prophetic words from Randolph St. Cosmo, right? Miles Blundell, destroyer of worlds.
If not, this is just a moment where we see even Randolph St. Cosmo can lose his composure when the possible destruction of his ship and the death of his crew might be at hand.
This would have been a good time for Pynchon to throw in a purposeful typo so that Randolph exclaimed, "Why, you will destory us all!" I've always loved that destroy looked so much like and visually suggests "de-story" because what better way to describe our destruction than the removal of our story itself?
