English is essentially what happens when you can’t decide whether the Greeks or the Romans had the better civilization, so you ask everybody they ever beat up on to sort it out.

Ah, finally Jacob has noticed what some of you have already commented on — there seems to have been a falling out between Fumiaki and Dahnai.  Only way to figure out a mystery like that is to go to the source, and since Fumiaki is a fruitcake…

But that’s going to have to wait, I’m afraid.  We’ll be ending this chapter in a few pages with a shift of focus.  Certain events are happening elsewhere that will ratchet up the danger soon.

↓ Transcript
Jacob: Fumiaki wants to change the world, but all he's doing is making playthings. What's his angle? What isn't he telling us?
Roger: Um...Dahnai told me not to trust him.
Jacob: She said that?
Roger: Yeah.
Jacob: They were fugitives together for years. She's practically his daughter. Why wouldn't she trust him?
Roger: I don't know.
Jacob: I think it's time I talked to Dahnai.
