The second one we can rule out, because... well, because I said so. So Sam's abductor - the spy from Katoo - must be a European, or at least have learned Engish in Britain.

My tipoff here was the phrase "we need people as Sam;" this phrase, while technically, I believe, correct, is terribly archaic, and not one found in common use. Therefore, the possible conclusions are again twofold: our quarry is not a native speaker, or he is... well, me. And, again, I say he's not me.

Duuuude. I'm living practically right on top of you (well, okay, only in the same state), not in Europa.....but of course you knew that and were just trying to antagonize me into submitting a new chapter of the "Brawl of the Nanosecond."

'Course, "Katoo I" IS a pretty stylin' name. I'll have to consider it a possible designation for my first-born. :-)
