Notes
461- "I don't see how your problems are relevant right now, officer," the lieutenant says in a quick, clipped tone.
- "You won't have to look at that sight much longer, I promise. We will return soon." He turns to leave.

- The lieutenant gives you a sideways glance.
- "And what would that miracle be?"
- The lieutenant has taken a small step back. He looks at your face illuminated by the flames and nods silently. Then the fire falters...
- "Nothing. What happened? Where'd you hear bad words? Was it from someone on the coast? The radio?"

- "No." You have rarely seen him with that face.
- Slowly, with your breath held, you take two small steps toward the phasmid. The creature lets out a series of ultrasonic clicks that swarm around your head l…

- Elsewhere in Revachol, the lieutenant has also just turned on the radio. In his privacy, he doesn't even try to stop himself from smiling.
- "But you're just fucking hateful. And I got no time for that shit. Anything else you need, or can I hang up?"
