Quwyatt: I become 1100.

Quwyatt: Jelly becomes 1101.

Quwyatt: Mask becomes 10011.

Quwyatt: And Scalfred becomes 10110.

Quwyatt: Now, pretend 0 is off and 1 is on.

Quwyatt: That's two things! We could to the same thing with any other base!

Quwyatt: The places are the ones, twos, fours, eights and sixteens.

Quwyatt: Now let's pretend you're the base, Star.
