*amused, and perhaps a little stunned* Okay. I don't agree on the 'predictable' charge, we should just charge the story with lack of development, and losing the plot. The nuns, though, as supposed paragons of virtue, I would expect to be caught up in somehting like this. I don't believe the boy would know how to use a gun, though. Yet I just keep wondering; Where did you get the Arabic? The diction doesn't exactly sound right, but the gist was accurate. Do you speak it yourself, and where did you learn it? On another, totally random track, this style of humour reminds me quite a bit of military science fiction.
