  • ID: a numerical index for the entry within this conversation.
  • Character: the character speaking or acting.
  • Dialogue: prose containing spoken dialogue and other description.
  • Conditions: logical checks governing this entry appearing or occurring.
  • Links: entries that might follow this one, depending on conditions and player choice. Most links are internal to this conversation, external links to other conversations are marked with the format (conversation ID, entry ID).

10 Kim Kitsuragi "What do you need with another transceiver? It's almost exactly like the one you took from that radiocomputer in the Doomed Commercial Area."

  • 14
11 Kim Kitsuragi The lieutenant gives you a brief nod.
12 Kim Kitsuragi "You sound pathological, you know that? Now come on, let's stop wasting time."
13 Kim Kitsuragi "There's usually a little switch somewhere... Ah, yes, it's the one that says 'RELEASE'." The lieutenant points to the side of the radio.
  • 22
14 You "But Kim, I need to collect *all* the radio transceivers. For thoroughness' sake."
  • 12
15 You "Good point, no need to be greedy."
  • 11
16 Office Radio You have no need for this transceiver, because you already have one just like it.
  • 17
  • 18
17 You Good point, no need to be greedy.
  • 19
18 You But what if I want *another* one, as a backup?
  • 20
19 Office Radio The radio appreciates your restraint. It buzzes contentedly.
20 Office Radio The radio appears to disapprove of your acquisitiveness. Its buzz seems to drive you away.
21 Office Radio It's quite easy. Simply flip the switch labeled 'RELEASE' to disengage the lock that holds the transceiver unit in place.
  • 22
22 You Flip the release switch.
  • 23
23 Office Radio The lock disengages with a nice click. You may now safely remove the transceiver unit.

32 Kim Kitsuragi "I wouldn't like to guess. Your performance so far doesn't exactly inspire confidence, but all sorts of things are possible..."
  • 33
33 Kim Kitsuragi "*You* could reach the Coalition and have your talk about *la responsabilité*... *I* could grow 10 centimetres and become a flanker for the Stormers."

37 Kim Kitsuragi "It doesn't, frankly. Don't get me wrong, this appears to be a *fine* transceiver for a general audience, but it's not something a serious radio-head would use." He shrugs.

  • 42
40 You (Clench your fist.) "I'll show you yet, Kitsuragi."
  • 43
41 Kim Kitsuragi "Of course not, detective. This is *strictly* business." The lieutenant smiles to himself.
  • 44
42 Kim Kitsuragi "I suppose it will." The lieutenant smiles to himself.

43 Kim Kitsuragi "Show me what, detective?" The lieutenant seems immensely pleased by your irritation.

45 Office Radio There's nothing obviously remarkable about it. It's about the size of a common pasta box, with knobs of molded plastic. What else is there to say?
  • 46
46 Conceptualization If this transceiver were a person, it would be an accountant at a large logistics firm. Perfectly competent, but unexceptional.

77 Kim Kitsuragi "Yes, 'reliable and unassuming' are *definitely* words I'd use to describe you."
  • 86
78 Kim Kitsuragi "I'm not sure where you're getting that. It's a perfectly fine transceiver and this is a perfectly ordinary office."
  • 84
79 Kim Kitsuragi "I suppose it does have a certain 'no-nonsense' appeal, if you prefer that sort of thing."
  • 82
80 Kim Kitsuragi "Very good. Let's get going then."

93 Office Radio With its transceiver gone, the radio has ceased its peristent buzzing. It is as silent as a headstone.

  • 35
100 Kim Kitsuragi "But now you've got what you came for, so I suppose we'll have to see this business through."
101 Kim Kitsuragi "I certainly understand the impulse, but this is our job, detective. Our whole *raison d'être*. At some point, we'll need to return to it."
  • 36
102 You "I think I just need a break from our main case for a bit."
  • 101
103 Kim Kitsuragi "To be perfectly frank, I have my reservations about this whole antenna scheme. But who knows? We may yet be surprised."
  • 35

  • 106
  • 95
  • 102
105 Kim Kitsuragi "But here's the thing, detective. *We're* the proper channels. Doing our work, right here on the ground, is how we'll solve this case. There's no need to bring the Coalition into this."
  • 36
106 You "We can't assign *la responsabilité* if we don't go through the proper channels."
  • 105
107 Kim Kitsuragi "Let me make a prediction, detective. You are not going to see the inside of a Coalition warship anytime soon."
