UNANSWERED QUESTIONS

1. Who are these guys shadowing Chu? Are they Feds? Are they professional bounty hunters? Rival underworld enforcers? Who? Is their possession of Chempliant rounds significant?
2. Who is Chu’s client? He lets slip it’s a woman but we have no name and no clue as to her whereabouts or the reason she needs Chu.
3. Why are people after Chu’s client?
4. If people aren’t after Chu’s client, are they after him?
5. Feeding Rina’s conspiracy theory beast, was Joshua's nightmare a real nightmare or a mental attack leveled against Joshua? If so, who and why?
6. Why was Joshua dreaming about his past in Blue Sun? Was the nightmare a real memory of something that actually happened to him or a mishmash of subconscious fears and events?
7. What was Chu about to tell Nika when the drugs put her under?
8. Chu says he’s booked the suite for the week. Does this mean they’re in a hotel? Or is he lying and are they in a hovel somewhere with roaches and rats crawling across the floor?
9. And for the extra-paranoid factor: Did the mercs do anything to Rina while she was under? If so, what? And if they did, would she even remember it when the drugs wear off?
