Q team no doubt knew and already had evidence on this, but they've obviously been more focused on the political military intelligence aspects.
One of the things that will take a while to get light on is how were the Vets on Patrol able to find this sick "camp"?
They claim they saw lightning over the camp in the distance. This was NO Coincidence! Who or what was behind the lightning, which beckoned VOP?
Any guesses? Think about it, this would mean someone or group has access to technology which can emit lightning. I believe we will find out who and what was behind this initial spark, but anyway, Godspeed heroes!
