- "Everything's still cool here, officer," the street vendor assures you.
- "The shine on these sunglasses lasts a lifetime, officer! One hundred percent guaranteed!"
- You were right. That streethawker really was stealing from the back of his own truck.
- An old call box with a matrix of push buttons lists all the companies in the East Delta…
- "Oh, it's you again. Are you looking for a die?"

- "You are really starting to remind me of him. It's not a compliment. I don't like it."

- "What, you're going to blow a lead, just like that?" The lieutenant gives you an incredulous look.
- "I'm not your mother." He avoids your gaze. "I don't care. Do what you have to do."
- "Let's go, officer." The lieutenant closes his notes. "These people wouldn't know a good performance if it bit them in the ass."
- The lieutenant doesn't say anything, but gives you a quick smile, before turning away.

- The lieutenant, needless to say, is not impressed.
- "Go where? Accosting a minor?"
- "A name -- this is very good. Ellis Kortenaer..." he says to himself.
- You watch as her brains trickle out through her neon hair.
