"Why do you think that Panama is the best place to start searching?" Rui raised an eyebrow.
"It's rather simple, actually," the Divine Doctor remarked. "In hindsight, what intention would you infer from the Panama Manifold?"
He turned towards Rui. "The manifold tree was implanted at the very exact epicenter of the continent and then trapped the entire continent in a higher-dimensional spacetime manifold, separating it from the rest of the world while diluting the flow of time within the manifold. If you had to attribute intention to this event, what do you think could have been the intention?"
Rui understood why the Divine Doctor suspected that the Panama Continent might contain more hints as to the 'virus' or the foreign agent responsible for negatron matter production. "…The most natural conclusion feels like it was created to hide and protect something from the rest of the world."
