(urth) moldy bread dream, smell, grain merchant, American plot in 7an

[Marc Aramini]

Tallman's work on seven American nights is almost correct.  America has a
plot to be great again involving the grain merchant gollem gassem but it
involves air bound spores.  Nadan dreams of moldy bread and wonders why
America would wish such a thing.   The weapon they will employ is their
specialty: drugs.  When the smithsonian guy says smell is true
communication it is hinting at an airborne infectious vector for gollem
gassem's grain when it is prepared.  This is why Nadan is sure he was
drugged on the ship - scent or foreshadowing of America's plot. They are
going to destroy Persia/Iran as they were destroyed.  I don't think it has
much to do with any other weapons cache, as that is not thematically
stressed in the text.  It is poison, probably via smell, that they posit.
 Perhaps kreton was reaching for the vial they gave Nadan if he wasn't just
copping a feel.

Gassem!
