Dialogue
402- Large letters on the front form a title: "Wirrâl." The colourful box is illustrated with…
- You see a colourful primer. The title reads: "A Primer for Small Kids."
- This is the door to your room.
- "I'm afraid we don't have time for rest stops right now, officer. We should really get…
- "Be careful out there. Sea's calm as death, but still... there are ruins underwater. You…
- The skiff bobs in the calm waters. It has nothing more to do.
- The man nods at you, checks his watch and sighs, "Ai-ai-ai..."
- The air outside is brisk, the lieutenant is silent for a moment. He listens to the…
- "I've got some good news." The lieutenant smiles. "I took care of the body. The thought…
- The cabinet is cleaned out, emptied.
- Wow, so someone's been a little... boring?
- Honourable One, you have accumulated a substantial amount of honour points on your…
- "Always a pleasure to see an officer of the law!"
- Just dead and dying locusts, and the slow swaying of surrounding reeds.
- The trap is filled with dead and dying locusts. Most of them aren't moving anymore. You…
- The trap is full of locusts, but they seem weak and unhealthy. A few lie on their backs…
- "Think you can hang our brother and then just fucking talk your way out of it?" His eyes…
- The skiff is swaying on the waves by the dock.
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?"
