Dialogue
402- "I've told you everything I've got." He looks around nervously. "Can you please stop…
- "Hi, ace detective." She smiles warmly. "Are you here for more books?"
- A lorry stuck in the traffic jam. This big, heavy Graad-made machine is well kept for…
- Well, now you've done it. Let's see if you can talk your way out of this one.
- Heavy wooden doors more than twice your height stand shut in front of you. The…
- "C'mon! Get in, the warm stuff is getting out."
- "Good morning, comrade! Yeaaaaaah!" He waves his hand in the air. "Harder core!" The…
- "Oh, hey, man! It's good to see you." He dances over to you in an inexplicably soft-core…
- There it is -- the most beautiful of walls. Stop and admire it for a moment.
- By the way, where is home? The address is coming up blank and this place sure isn't it...
- There it is again! There's a spectral smell haunting this industrial harbour. And it…
- You can hear animated voices coming from the other side of the grille.
- "Would you mind? We've got group business to take care of."

- "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.

- "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…
