"Gone to Roaton," eh?
A nicely Cypherpunkish ring to that phrase, reminiscent of the cryptic "Gone to Croatan" message that was all that was left of the vanished first English colony in the New World.
Cute but it actually wasn't that cryptic since it refered to a local Native tribe. To this day, there are members of tribes in that area with English names and European physical traits.
