Agent McGurk
Duty Officer Solomon

MCGURK: Then you have the Kana, which are kind of like our alphabet — they're each pronounced a certain way. You can write any Japanese word in Kana to show how it is pronounced. Japanese language is a combination of Kanji and Hiragana and Katakana.

SOLOMON: That sounds... simple.

MCGURK: But regardless, we won't know the "sumo" sign when we see it.

SOLOMON: A-ha! But wait. We're in luck! There's a picture of a sumo wrestler just above that sign.

MCGURK: Unfortunately, there are four arrows on that sign, each one with different characters next to it, and each pointing a different direction. We don't have much time. Which way should we go? Is there anything in the Dossier?
