Conversation 1214: COAST ORB / reeds by camp site

These reeds are by Morell and Gary's abandoned camp site. The interactable reeds you can search when Morell tells you to check the phasmid traps. There are traps in these reeds.

How to use this page:

This is a listing of every "entry" in a given game conversation as scraped from the game files. Entries often contain written dialogue, as well as conditional logic governing their appearance to the player. They also link to other entries, sometimes automatically and sometimes through player action. This page is best used to search for a specific word or phrase, as following the links in this format can be difficult. For an experience that better accommodates the branching structure of these conversations, see the corresponding interactive page.

Column definitions:
  • 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).

21 You "No need to grin. I'm not *expecting* to find anything. I'm helping some citizens and getting some fresh air."
  • 127
22 Shivers A cold gust of air dries your sweaty face and you look to the dark shadow the Feld building in the distance, drawing you to it. What a strange sensation... Once this is done, should you try to ask again?

44 Trap: Morell There's nothing else to do with the traps at this time. They're all just lying around, gathering dust and rainwater.
  • 98
45 You "Maybe they will still attract something?" IsKimHere()
  • 162
46 Trap: Morell You've checked all the traps now. There's nothing else to do with them. The cryptozoologists await your report.
  • 98
47 Trap: Morell The trap feels light -- and silent -- as you pick it up. Something is different here...
  • 174
48 Authority He doesn't want to, but if there is one more cryptozoological run-around, he *must* force the investigation back on track. This better be it...
  • 124
49 Trap: Morell This trap is also full of panicked locusts. No sign of any cryptozoological beast inside.
  • 172
50 Trap: Morell Nothing but locusts in this trap as well. Definitely no cryptozoological monstrosity.
  • 173
51 Kim Kitsuragi "We did *sort of* promise to tell them, didn't we..." He seems to regret the fact.
  • 23
52 Kim Kitsuragi "Right." It does not look like he thinks you're right. "Anyway, that's for the cryptozoologists to figure out now." He adds, for clarity: "*We're* not cryptozoologists -- we're cops."
  • 23
53 Trap: Morell No locusts!
  • 123
54 You Look closer.
  • 53
55 Kim Kitsuragi "Okay. But after that we get back to our own assignments. We've done a thorough survey of the coast now -- just running around is no longer useful."
  • 23
56 Kim Kitsuragi "Good, good. We should be courteous and tell the cryptozoologists that one of their traps was empty, but then we can get back to *our* assignment here."

60 Kim Kitsuragi He purses his lips. "Perhaps our cryptozoologists have competition in the form of an actual entomologist? Or someone else is sabotaging them? I could present more theories, but then I would be taking this on as a case -- which I'm *not*."

61 Kim Kitsuragi "Another empty trap," the lieutenant takes a note -- more out of habit than duty.
  • 71
62 Kim Kitsuragi He stops you. "Don't answer that. It was a rhetorical question."
  • 48
63 You "Let's keep going. The next one is the *lucky* one."
  • 67
64 You "How are you enjoying the cardio, lieutenant? I'm quite enjoying it myself."
  • 68
65 You "I want to make it clear that I don't *actually* believe the phasmid exists, okay?"
  • 69
66 You Say nothing, just put the trap down.
  • 70
67 Kim Kitsuragi "Yup. The next one has a *crab* trapped in it." He raises his collar -- it's windy. "These are just crab traps, you do realize?"
  • 78
68 Kim Kitsuragi "Always up for a good jog -- otherwise, would I still be *on* this case with *you*?" He smiles and raises his collar. It's windy.
  • 78
69 Kim Kitsuragi "Of course. Noted." He looks at you, incredulously, as you place the trap back in the reeds.
  • 78
70 Kim Kitsuragi Neither does the lieutenant. He just raises his collar -- it's cold out, as always.

73 Inland Empire Man, it's lonely doing this alone. The wind seems to howl in a strange manner...
  • 72
74 Trap: Morell All the traps are stocked now -- and still no sight of the phasmid. Return to Morell and let him know.
  • 137
75 You "Actually -- I do get the feeling that someone or something may have messed with the trap..." Variable["coast.reeds_percept_untidy"]
  • 60
76 You "Yeah, it probably *wasn't* the phasmid, but still. Morell needs to know."
  • 51
77 You "But what if it *was* the phasmid? What if it ate them and got out?"
  • 52
78 None
  • 3
79 You "You're right. But they still need to know."
  • 55
80 You "You're right. This crypto-research has been stupid."
  • 56
81 Trap: Morell The reeds continue to hiss around you as you put the empty trap back on the ground. Time to consult the professionals -- Morell and Lena.

  • 90
88 Kim Kitsuragi "Surely," he repeats and looks at the sea, then at you putting the trap back on the ground. "Anyway, the air is nice and fresh here..."

  • 97
94 You Say nothing, just put the trap down.

95 Kim Kitsuragi The lieutenant stretches his back.
  • 106
96 Kim Kitsuragi "I'm just..." he breathes out. "Glad we haven't found some poor cat trapped in one of these."
