<DIV>Listening to the guards, Ha'Kell starts thinking even more. "Could all of this just be a distraction? It must be. A very elaborate distraction for something else. Trying to raise the common man's fear and paranoia of magic. This leads to a non-magic society, but required magicians to generate the fear. Hmm. This fits the Vong hatred of magic, but are they working with magic users as well? At least a small group of them. We need to look into this. Yes, the Vong may be working with some magicians directly, or through the nobles they have on their side. Playing both sides of Katai to take control and then exterminate magic. Then why do the Vong hate magic so much? Why? They seem to fear it as well, even though they are strong against it. Or do they hate magic, is that a wrong assumption? So much to consider."</DIV>

<DIV>Staying and helping as much as he can, Kell tries to stay near the commander to learn all he can. He'll avoid the commander's notice, but learn all he can. Once he thinks there is nothing more to learn, or if Will appears to need help, Kell tries to help Will.</DIV>
