Federation of Fear 5 was posted on www.bioniclestory.com today.

This update is full of energy. Sailing south from Zakaz, Brutaka and Lariska now head the Steltian ship south in order to pick up a hidden weapons cache needed to arm the team at last. The original location for the pickup, scouted out by the Order of Mata Nui, used to be a small, wooded island off the southern continent. When Botar and the nine-foot warrior from the ninth chapter of the Gali Nuva Blog, whose name is Trinuma, first brought the weapons to the island, Makuta Icarax spotted them and attacked. Botar was, after all his centuries of service, tragically killed by Icarax's magnetic power, with Trinuma barely escaping to ditch the weapons on a different island and report to Daxia. Now Brutaka leads the team onto the new island's shores, although some sense something unsettling in the area. Takadox gets a long, thin blade weapon; Carapar, a broadsword; Roodaka, a Rhotuka launcher; Spiriah, what is implied to be a Midak skyblaster; and Vezon, a simple spear. The group suddenly hears a sound like a breathing through mud. To Spiriah's horror, he realizes that this is a dreaded land that Mutran once told him about. As insurmountable walls suddenly rise up to cut them off from the sea, Spiriah shape-shifts wings only for a spike to jut out of the wall and impale one of them. Lariska performs a fantastic acrobatic feat to catch Spiriah as he falls, but a unworldly creature grabs Brutaka in a tentacle, addressing himself as Tren Krom.

Predictions: Now that the Bionicle story team is using a different legal naming sytem starting 2009, Farshtey is able to assign names from the existing list of approved names even to unimportant characters such as Trinuma -- or is Trinuma unimportant?
