Conversation 1000: KIM SWITCH / DAY TWO UNION

Kim blinks red when he's joined your team near the stairs. He wants to tell you the vigilantes have showed up and that you should talk to them -- but be careful. (Final warning about RCM non-presence in Martinaise.)

10 Rhetoric The lieutenant is downplaying his contribution -- he got up before sunrise to get this done. And now he's quite pleased with himself for taking care of the gruesome business so efficiently.

11 Empathy He kind of wishes you'd acknowledged his contribution, but you've missed your opportunity now.

  • 68
