- Machine's keyboard is still illuminated, revealing virescent PLAY and PRINT buttons.

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."

- 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...

- "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.
