Jo pointed at Ssorg’s arm, and the strange weapon there.

‘What about Ssorg’s gun? This is supposed to be a peaceful mission, isn’t it?’

‘Unfortunately, in order to spread peace, it is necessary to survive.’

Jo nodded. She could see the point. But she was still puzzled. ‘If it wasn’t you, who was it? Who could possibly benefit from all this troublemaking?’
