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…

- A police badge on which you see the photo of a man -- you. Some seaweed is stuck to the…
Notes
461- "A good point. He could have been intoxicated. Or something we cannot yet imagine... I shouldn't have assumed so much just from the clothes."
- "No?" The lieutenant's expression is stern and impenetrable. He points at you: "You will get your shit together."
- "Absolutely."
- "Then the world will turn away from you, and leave you behind."
- "Daba-doop-doop-dead," he says without a hint of melody. Not one muscle in his face moves.
- "No sirree." He shakes his head.
- He nods in agreement with this advanced piece of conceptualization. Having mulled it over the lieutenant says: "That sounds about right, yes."
- "We should go talk to the locals, find something else to do while the wind changes. It's pretty bad right now."
- "He is." He points to the corpse.
- He would follow you into death itself... and you would do the same for him.
- "My colleague has an exploratory sense of humour. Don't hold it against him."
- It's good we discussed your history with her, he thinks. I can play along.
- We should have discussed your history before we came here, he thinks. So many unpleasant surprises with this guy...
- You catch the lieutenant's side-glance, but he doesn't say anything.
- "Go ahead," she remarks sharply, "call people rude things. We've heard worse here. Now are you interested or not?"
- The lieutenant sighs at your flagrant misogyny.
- "... and neither have you. Had you let me in on the script of this play before you performed it, I could have gone along. As it stands, the entire line of qu…
- "You." The lieutenant turns to you. "If you were intending to use an unorthodox questioning technique for this branch of the investigation -- which, by the w…
