(Kristin, this song had better be on that StC soundtrack, or I'm posting it. *g*)

Ahem!

Volume 23, Act 10, Chapter 31
Volume 23, Act 10, Chapter 32
Volume 23, Act 10, Chapter 33

Including Himiko's ultimate attack (until the next power-up, of course), Akabane's camp doctor flashback, Shido's explanation for how the war started and... uh... the discovery that Hevn took the ape episode in 2001: A Space Odyssey somewhat literally.

(And yes, if you must know, I've gone on fic-reading hiatus. Too much fic too fast confuses me, so it's just moi, the Hojo Akira doujinshi and Genius 218 until I come up with something suitably fangirl-riffic. Or, y'know, until I cave. Or go off and write origfic or something. But let's pretend for a moment that I have willpower.)

There was just this series of articles on Saudi Arabia, in... the National Post, I think?
