* ImposterExposingTest: When Jack pretends to be Ali on the game forum, Sulemain poses no less than ''three'' tests to determine if it really is Ali on the other end of the chat. Jack passes the first two with the help of his team[[labelnote:*]]namely, his IP address was spoofed so he appeared to be in France when traced, and some quick googling revealed the color of Sulemain and Ali's former home[[/labelnote]]... but he fails the third, recognizing the start of an Islamic blessing as a prompt for a response, but [[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay not knowing the brother's unique reply.]]
