C'Tair is the Ixian on Ix trying to start the rebellion, D'Murr is the Ixian become navigator :-) He sensed the ancient and future enemy.

his words...

*****
"No time � Threat � outside force � evil � drawing
closer � beyond the Imperium."
*****

followed a few lines later by

*****
"Ancient enemy � future enemy � cannot remember.
Time folds � space folds � memory fails."
*****

This could mean BOTH ancient and future enemy... OR just confusion on not knowing which. We have no idea what effect the Amal had on D'Murr, did he somehow time shift? IS that what he meant by time folds?

the final part of the conversation...

*****
"Will this help? Can this new spice let you see
through foldspace and bring us home?"

"Must," D'murr said, exhaling curls of smoke. "We
are in danger � the enemy � has seen us. Approaches.
Wants to destroy."

"Who is the enemy?"

"Hatred � extinguish us � for what � we are." D'murr
managed to bring his twisted body more upright. "Flee
� as far as possible �" He turned, his tiny eyes
surrounded by folds of waxy flesh. "I see the way now
� to bring us � home."

The Navigator seemed to be consuming all of his
strength for one last gesture. D'murr squirmed closer
to the vents that sprayed dense melange gas. He drew
in a deep breath. "Must hurry!"

Instead of rushing to the hatch to escape, Rhombur
helped him grasp the controls. The faltering
Navigator powered up the Holtzman engines and,
with a sudden jerk, the Heighliner shifted and then
spun over, righting itself in space.

"Enemy � is near."

And the great ship moved-or seemed to.
*****

The one thing that is clear.. is he does NOT state Clearly who it is OR if it's past or future.
