You may have noticed that I’m not fooling around with the art yet this chapter. I will soon — there are new techniques in each chapter that I want to try. But first I’m getting this dialog out of the way, and in the process building my buffer again so there’ll be no skipped weeks.

Everything’s proceeding according to plan…my plan, and apparently Fumiaki’s…

↓ Transcript
Msaka: Fumiaki dug up those skulls. He arranged to send dozens of those boxes from many ports.
Jacob: Why?
Msaka: Dr. Fumiaki wants to meet you, but not directly. He's leaving a trail of breadcrumbs for you to follow. If you kill any of his friends along the way, he'll go even deeper underground, where you'll never find him. I'm glad you found me first. I can defend myself. So do you intend to kill me, Mr. Doe?
Girii: Jacob.
Jacob: Alright, alright. I'm not going to try to kill you.
Msaka: Thank you.
Girii: And? Go on.
Jacob: (sigh) And I'm...I'm glad I didn't eradicate your entire species.
Msaka: Well, apology accepted, I suppose.

    Think Jacob’s getting tired of having an empath on the team yet?

  2. Skur says:

    Tihihi. Didn’t expect that, maybe he’s just getting soft on his old days.

  3. Ha! Ha! Precious! It’s like Hitler apologizing for the Shoah!

    But wait! Some pretty high up in the nazi pecking order DID claim Adolf was partly Jewish!(Docteur Louis Ferdinand Destouches, AKA Céline)Was Fumiaki inspired by Dr Louis Ferdinand?

    When she curtseys in Picture 3 she looks for the first time really feminine.
    I’m glad that SHE doesn’t want to kill HIM! 🙂
