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…
- "I'm always happy to educate and entertain you, my friend." He takes a sip from his…
- "Are you shitting me, Harry? Did you not really open the door and are now just telling me…
- "Looks like an abandoned building..."
- A police badge on which you see the photo of a man -- you. Some seaweed is stuck to the…
Notes
461- "Any halfway competent notary should be able to handle this. Not getting their actual signatures was probably the best thing to do."
- Lieutenant Kitsuragi's stern expression remains unchanged -- but you sense he can't be happy about this turn of events.
- The lieutenant tries to remain impassive but the slight arch of his eyebrow tells you that he's liking it.
- "Fuckin' A, Kim. I've got your back." (Give the lieutenant a punch on the shoulder.)
- "He's right. You're undermining our best shot at real self-determination."
- "Right. I have to get back to my homework now, before Mum notices. Man, this is hard..." She looks back at the infernal scribblings under her nose.
- "Wonderful." The lieutenant falls silent. His expression is hard to read, but it certainly doesn't look happy. Then he speaks...
- "I'm going to stop this conversation." He makes a sudden hand gesture. An open palm. "This is Martinaise. People have certain attitudes here. You will find p…
- "Well," he says after taking a moment to collect himself. "You've made your views on the subject quite clear..." Another little pause.
- "Let's go." The lieutenant nods at you.
- "I thought this was a lousy way to enter a place of worship that's already in disrepair. I guess the church agreed."
- "Good god, detective! What's wrong with you?"
- "Yes, only the detective here would draw a connection between a made-up division of para-psychics and the addled ramblings of a defunct communist mage..."
- The lieutenant doesn't speak, but you believe you detect a slight widening of his eyes, as though he never expected such a cogent thought to emerge from your…
- "Thank god we avoided that fiasco, at least..."
- "I suppose that would be something to see." The lieutenant seems amused at the thought of you wrestling a bear.
- "But you made the right decision, the more difficult decision, in my mind, at least."
- "But you did accomplish your task. You reached the Coalition. I must admit, I didn't seriously think you could do it, but you've proved me wrong."
