Finally, we’ve reached the lair of Dr. Fumiaki — Corvo Island! I’ve been looking forward to the story getting here. It took me a while to find just the right place for Fumiaki to dwell. I think Jacob will soon agree, it’s perfect for all your mad science needs.
As a side note, I’m going out of town for a few days so I won’t be able to fix any errors for a while. But do point them out if you see any. I’ll still be in touch in the comments. We’re getting deep into genetic deviant territory; wait until you see how Michael has shaped the place. 🙂

Jacob: Dr. Fumiaki, I presume.
Fumiaki: Yes, Jacob. I've brought you to me because you are an honorable man. But I must ask -- are you here to kill me?
Jacob: No.
Fumiaki: Promise?
Jacob: (grumble) ...yes.
Fumiaki: Excellent. Mind giving the young lady your railgun?
Jacob: I just found ammo for this.
Girii: I won't play with your toys.
Fumiaki: Then welcome to Corvo Island. Part volcano, part laboratory...well, pretty much just those two things. Do you think I should also build a petting zoo?
Fumiaki: Yes, Jacob. I've brought you to me because you are an honorable man. But I must ask -- are you here to kill me?
Jacob: No.
Fumiaki: Promise?
Jacob: (grumble) ...yes.
Fumiaki: Excellent. Mind giving the young lady your railgun?

Not like the gun would make much difference.
A volcanic island with a laboratory. Perfect for James Bond villains, or Dr. Fumiaki.
This Fukami guy… He might just be some sort of mad scientist. I know it seems crazy, but I have this hunch…
Fumiaki is gonna come out looking like Marlon Brando in a white moomoo and face paint…. I just know it….
Well, the “exercise in youthful blasphemy” here is far more entertaining than the fat clown in a muu muu…but people playing God like Kevin, Fumiaki,
Moreau, Hitler or Mao always raise hackles…
Eh, if you’re going to be doing mad biology it’s only responsible to find a nice isolated volcanic island to work on.
Less chance of something escaping to the mainland by accident; it’s got a good chance of reaching an ecological equilibrium before any shipwrecked sailors come along. And if it all goes too badly wrong, pull out the magma plug 😉
Just realized… Is that a reference to the Jurassic Park video game where you setup a theme park? I think it had an option for a petting zoo for the less-stupid-to-create dinosaurs.
