Abstract: In 1993, Brou'{e}, Malle and Michel initiated the study of spetses on the Greek island bearing the same name. These are mysterious objects attached to non-real Weyl groups. In algebraic topology, a $p$-compact group $mathbfX$ is a space which is a homotopy-theoretic $p$-local analogue of a compact Lie group. A connected $p$-compact group $mathbfX$ is determined by its root datum which in turn determines its Weyl group $W_{m}athbfX$. In this article we give strong numerical evidence for a connection between these two objects by considering the case when $mathbfX$ is the exotic $2$-compact group DI$(4)$ constructed by Dwyer--Wilkerson and $W_{m}athbfX$ is the complex reflection group $G_{24}cong$ GL${}_3(2)imes{C}_2$. Inspired by results in Deligne--Lusztig theory for classical groups, if $q$ is an odd prime power we propose a set Irr$(mathbfX(q))$ of `ordinary irreducible characters' associated to the space $mathbfX(q)$ of homotopy fixed points under the unstable Adams operation $ps{i}^q$. Notably Irr$(mathbfX(q))$ includes the set of unipotent characters associated to $G_{24}$ constructed by Brou'{e}, Malle and Michel from the Hecke algebra of $G_{24}$ using the theory of spetses. By regarding $mathbfX(q)$ as the classifying space of a Benson--Solomon fusion system Sol$(q)$ we formulate and prove an analogue of Robinson's ordinary weight conjecture that the number of characters of defect $d$ in Irr$(mathbfX(q))$ can be counted locally.
