WHAT HAPPENED, IN 50 WORDS:
Chapter 10 reveals Fiona and Nick deciphering conversations about the "Seamount Gang of Five" through a surveillance device. Fiona confronts Tad Longway, a hotel guest, unwittingly involved. Meanwhile, secretive guide Dr. Afolabi explains his double-game supporting both AGDA's Way Omega and Path Alpha to Fiona, highlighting the political undercurrents.
FULL SUMMARY:
Chapter 10 presents Fiona meeting with Nick, a young man, to learn about some critical information he has discovered. Nick introduces her to a sophisticated surveillance device he dubs the "Silent Listener." Nick explains the different components of the device, emphasizing its ability to collect and analyze all kinds of sound transmissions, including GPS data transmitted by cell phones. The Silent Listener has picked up on intriguing conversations surrounding a network of five individuals, all converging at the Seamount Hotel, dubbed as "The Seamount Gang of Five". These individuals include Professor Kimani, Comrade Melusi, Pastor Chiamaka, and Engineer Tahir who are all communicating only with a 'guide', the fifth individual. The plotted chart depicts the four participants as nodes that connect only to the guide, not to one another, indicating the points of communication. Prompted by Nick's findings, Fiona hurries to the Seamount hotel, encountering a disgruntled guest named Tad Longway, who is residing in the same wing as the guide. The hotel receptionist accidentally hands him a key card for a room in the wrong wing before correcting her mistake, intriguing Fiona as the new guest's location correlates with what the Silent Listener previously identified. In the next part of Chapter 10, Fiona McKenzie confronts Tad Longway, who has been mistaken to be a new guest and given the key to Room 2059 in the Centre Wing of the hotel. Fiona retrieves a key card that Longway supposedly drops, and then calls him to arrange for its return. The exchange grows more complex as Fiona and Tad discuss their nationalities and the possible loss of the card. Eventually, Fiona hands back the card, only for Tad to recognize it as not his. Deeming the situation ended, Tad offers to buy Fiona a drink, to which she initially declines but then agrees to a Coke. Afterwards, Fiona visits Dr. Afolabi in his room. They engage in a conversation about the impending decision on Way Omega, the cold weather and Fiona's encounter with Longway. Afolabi reveals that he is the guide working with Kimani, Melusi, Chiamaka, Tahir, and Longway on Path Alpha, a rival scheme to Way Omega. Moreover, he discloses the precarious balance he's maintaining between supporting Way Omega, the Summit's advocate, while also secretly fostering Path Alpha. After Fiona shares Nick's discovery of 'The Trick,' Afolabi expresses admiration for the effort and intelligence of the young man.
WHAT HAPPENED, IN 50 WORDS:
Katika sura ya 10, Fiona McKenzie anamtembelea Nick na kufunuliwa "Msikilizaji wa Kimya." Inaonesha "Umoja wa Tano wa Seamount," ukiwa na Kimani, Melusi, Chiamaka, Tahir, na 'muongozaji wao'. Fiona anagundua Afolabi kama 'muongozaji', mwamini wa "Omega" na "Alpha", na kujutia njama ya Nick, "The Trick".
FULL SUMMARY:
Katika sura ya kumi, Fiona huenda kumtembelea Nick, ambaye ana kitu muhimu anachotaka kumwonesha ambacho anajiita "Msikilizaji wa Kimya". Hii ni kifaa kipya na cha kuvutia, kilichopambwa na dalili za dhahabu na fedha. Kifaa hiki kina sehemu tatu zinazojulikana kama mpokeaji, msindikaji, na mtangazaji. Nick anamfafanulia jinsi kifaa hiki kinavyokusanya na kuchambua maambukizi yote ya sauti, ikiruhusu tu zile zinazochaguliwa na kompyuta. Baada ya kusema hilo, Nick anajadili mpango utata. Anaamini kuna ajenda ya siri inayoendeshwa na watu watano ambao anawaita "Umoja wa Tano wa Seamount". Kundi hili linajumuisha Wanaume wanne ambao Fiona anafahamu kama, Profesa Kimani, Kasisi Melusi, Mchungaji Chiamaka na Mhandisi Tahir, na mtu wa tano ambaye hajatambuliwa ambaye huitwa 'muongozaji wao' na mwanachama wa omega. Umoja wa Nick wa watu hao watano unaonyesha jinsi wanaohusiana katika mpango huo mmoja, lakini hawana uhusiano wa moja kwa moja na kila mmoja kwa hivyo kundi hili linadhibitiwa na 'muongozaji wao'. Mwishowe, Fiona anamchukua kikadi cha funguo na kuwekwa kwenye hoteli hiyo hiyo, Seamount, kwenye ghorofa ya pili, wing ya kitovu, ikimuweka karibu na muongozaji huyo anayejulikana. Katika sura hii, Fiona McKenzie anamtembelea Bw. Longway, mfanyakazi mwenza katika hoteli ya Seamount. Wanajadiliana juu ya kitu kilichoanguka kutoka kwa Longway na Fiona anajaribu kurudisha. Wamekubaliana wente anamkuta Fiona karibu na vyumba vya simu. Fiona anamkabidhi kadi ya ufunguo wa ofisi yake katika VOA, lakini Longway anaidhinisha kuwa si yake. Baada ya mazungumzo, Longway anamwalika Fiona kwa vinywaji. Badaye Fiona anaenda kutembelea Dkt. Afolabi, na kubaini kwamba yeye ndiye 'muongozaji' ambaye Longway na washirika wake wanne, Profesa Kimani, Comrade Melusi, Pastor Chiamaka na Engineer Tahir, wanamuamini katika AGDA. Afolabi anaelezea kwamba wakati anaendelea kuunga mkono "Njia ya Omega", yeye pia ameingilia "Njia ya Alpha" kuichochea kama njia mbadala. Kufichua uwepo wake kali kwa "Njia ya Alpha" lakini kunaweza kuathiri msimamo wake kwa "Njia ya Omega". Mwishowe, Fiona na Afolabi wanajadili njama iliyoanzishwa na Nick kutoka VOA inayojulikana kama "The Trick". Afolabi anaonyesha kuvutiwa na ujuzi na udadisi wa Nick.
