"Are you suggesting that Ghost Captain also knows about 'them,' and has been lying low because he fears them?!" The director was startled by the conjecture.
But after thinking it over carefully, he found it perfectly reasonable.
Given their technological capabilities, their organization might well have existed far longer than America itself. There was no reason they wouldn't know something even he knew!
