@LAS: I have some doubts about the fairly popular belief that we're going to encounter the recently mentioned Princesses on FoD. Unless Maschenny is secretly established on FoD--which would be strange given that Garam, also known as a fugitive from Zahard and a holder of two 13MS weapons, is already established there--it would probably be very difficult for Maschenny to operate there. This is of course based on the assumption that Garam and Maschenny aren't allies, or that Garam wasn't simply letting Maschenny be there while hiding herself--though the latter would still mean that Maschenny isn't established high enough.

Not to mention that Yuri's party has an Irregular, a very peculiar FoD native, and a functional Guide (contrasting to a Guide like Evan) on their side--at least for now--, which appears to be of far greater importance than having lineup that is merely powerful.

All in all, I believe that Maschenny and her allies / pawns aren't going to properly make an appearance until the foreshadowed Princess arc. And it wouldn't be strange if this arc came only after the FoD--possibly even after the whole Hell Train arc.

@EternET: It's been some time, but I'm pretty sure Koon feels no betrayal about the Maria situation. He simply didn't realise that he wanted to be with her--romantically or otherwise--and not merely help her, but it hadn't occurred to him until he met Baam and Rak--one pursuing Rachel and one being very nosy and frank.

His distrust of others appears to be a character trait born as a side-effect from his deceptive and manipulative personality, or possibly because of his mother's "brainwashing".
