<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Kiet is listening intently to all that is said,
obviously keenly interested. After the talk winds down a bit, he says, "I
believe we should head inland toward the west. For one thing, the coast of
Katai is where most of the people are. The west is somewhat less densely
populated. The sea provides much for so many people. Anyway, the
Vong probably have been working in an area they can control. The less
populated areas probably better suit their needs."</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
