So BIOS terrorists are disappearing, there are hurricanes building in the Indian Ocean, we're about to vote on the future of our species . . . and Evan Chan's wife escaped a gangland execution with the help of a heroic garden gnome? 

 

I've decided I'd better stop drinking now.

 

I got Dwayne to run some operational forensics on the gnome.  He didn't sound entirely happy to hear from me, but then the last time I coaxed some work out of him, he ended up looking like something oozing out of a tear in a plastic garbage bag.  Can't blame the guy for being gun-shy.  Anyway, after tracking back through the Chan house systems, all he could tell me was that the command set that drove the gnome into action had turnstiled through an image-to-script translation in djinn tagged "Nauticus."

 

More news coming soon, I can feel it.  I'm back on the trail, boys and girls, and I think we're closing in.
