Dialogue
402- Hissing and clicking, the arthropod extends its mandible-like antennae to greet you…
- "You're up quick... How was your sleep?"
- A heavy door with a missing handle stands before you, covered in dozens (if not hundreds)…
- Inside you see a set of steering levers, a radio-microphone, a pull-out toolbox, and the…
- "I believe they heard something," he says, glancing back at the twins. "And given the…
- "Let's start from the top."
- "Just a second, officer..." She puts you on hold, the static crackling softly like a…
- The tarpaulin cloak swings alone for a while there in the wind. No one's coming for it…
- The file cabinet stands steady as ever. Sliding out a drawer presents you the folders you…
- "I don't know what that means, Harry. Shady brew? There are so many moving parts in my…
- "Oh, I know everything about you, Harry." He taps on the folder in front of him. "I have…
- "Of course, let us dispatch with the formalities, you call me Evrart, I call you Harry!"
- "Harry... " he says almost gently. "Honestly, I'm just relieved you didn't get a hernia…
- "Yes, yes, my best men are tracking it down. Some kids saw some other kids running away…

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.
- "You were right, officer." The lieutenant nods, sportsmanlike. "He was Occidental."
- "Right again, officer." The lieutenant taps his blue pen at you, as though assigning another point.
- "I don't see how your problems are relevant right now, officer," the lieutenant says in a quick, clipped, annoyed tone.
- "This is unprofessional." He repeats: "Not sharing information with me is unprofessional."
- Who... what... Dear god, you've been lied to! She could have killed her lover and lied to everyone! She's not candid at all, she's smoke and mirrors and will…
- 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?"
- "Shut up." The lieutenant jabs you in the ribs with his elbow, then turns to the boy...
- He nods approvingly. He even smiles.
- "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…
- "That they are." The lieutenant looks at the spinners and sighs. "I was going to take them into evidence, but they weren't necessary for conviction. He never…
- 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?"
