Conversation 1245: WHIRLING F3 / CLEAR WINDOW VISCAL DIFFICULT

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).

23	You	What is this, *guilt* now?		28
24	You	The one I smashed in my room?		27
25	You	Didn't we establish that someone else did that?	Variable["whirling.broken_window_maybe_not_me"]	29
26	Inland Empire	I think it was established that *you* did it. Anyway.		19
27	Inland Empire	Yes, that one. Cold wind is seeping in right now -- just one floor below you, messing up your concentration here.		19

37	Visual Calculus	The golden light melts away into the blue, glassy darkness of your mind. In it are two neon lit shapes: a man and a woman on the single bed.		430
38	Visual Calculus	Again with this. You're not some kind of super-detective. Question people, bust a lip open. Leave this glass cathedral of ballistics to the smart boys.		51

47	None			48 49 50

55	Visual Calculus	A vague sense of disappointment fills you. The glass shimmers as if taunting you with its secrets.		46
56	Kim Kitsuragi	"It is." The lieutenant touches the window. "We're beating our heads against this -- let's go do something more useful."		63
57	Kim Kitsuragi	"I'm not exactly sure either, to be honest. My imagination has a way of failing me."		58

70	You	Inspect the ghostly figures.		77
71	You	Have a look at point A' -- the roof.		184
72	You	Extrapolate the radius to include all of Martinaise.	Variable["whirling.replaced_extrapolate_open"] == true and Variable["whirling.replaced_tried_extrapolating_once"] == false and Variable["whirling.replaced_b_primes_open"] == false	100
73	You	Blink. [Leave.]	CheckItem("map_of_martinaise") == false
74	You	What position are they in?		425
75	You	Where does it come from?		76
76	Visual Calculus	From the roof outside -- location A prime. The glass fractures around the bullet hole. Shards face inwards like a corona behind the woman's back...		69
77	Visual Calculus	The man does not know the bullet has entered his brain. He never will. Death comes faster than the realization.		85
78	Visual Calculus	The ray cast from the man's mouth unravels into a fan of possible directions, all on the roof at first. The shot could have come from any of them. This is composite location A prime -- most likely of the origin points.		127 79
79	You	So I'm what... 80% sure the roof is where the shot was made from?		86
80	Visual Calculus	72%. With a weapon that fires jacketed ammunition -- likely a rifle. This is a good short distance, but not too short. The perpetrator aimed with their back against the railing, or possibly kneeling for precision. This would explain why it only took them one shot.		92
81	Visual Calculus	72%. With an antique weapon that fires military-grade ammunition -- a Belle-Magrave rifle, for example. This is a good short distance, but not too short. The perpetrator aimed with their back against the railing, or possibly kneeling for precision. This would explain why it only took them one shot.		92
82	Visual Calculus	That's a 28%, yes. In this model the shot *could* have come from a greater distance. Nothing excludes the possibility. Should we extrapolate to include *every* possible point of origin in Martinaise?		99
83	Visual Calculus	According to your map of the district, this shot could have come from a wide angle of locations -- starting with the northern edge of the abandoned boardwalk, ending with an islet in the bay. Let's call them B prime.		121
84	Endurance	Ending him.		439

91	Clear Window		(Variable["TASK.advanced_ballistics_analysis_done"]) == false	80
92	Visual Calculus	The lights were on in here. Outside it was dark. It was like shooting fish in an aquarium -- a well lit aquarium. The victim opened his mouth to let the bullet in. Neither of them would have seen anything outside, in the darkness -- too busy with their own bodies.		97
93	Visual Calculus	72%. With a weapon that's good for medium range, like a rifle or sports pistol. This is a good short distance, but not too short. The perpetrator aimed with their back against the railing, or possibly kneeling for precision. This would explain why it only took them one shot.		92
94	You	Could the shot have come from *inside* the room? A closer point...		96
95	You	Could there have been another point of origin -- further away? (Conclude.)		82
96	Visual Calculus	Point X would contradict the woman's testimony, rendering the entire proposition void. These figures would be wiped out, detective.		98

106	You	"Hey, where do I get a map of Martinaise?"		103
107	Visual Calculus	Your voice alone rings in the room. This visual forensics ability doesn't dispense shopping tips.		515
108	Kim Kitsuragi	"The bookstore. They have maps." The lieutenant leans closer. "You're thinking what if the shot didn't come from the roof, right?"		300 301
109	You	"There was a map on sale in the bookstore, wasn't there? A map of Martinaise? We need one."		110

116	You	"Never mind, I don't know what I'm thinking here."		117
117	Kim Kitsuragi	"No-no. We're onto something... There was a map in the bookstore. We should come back with it, compare the landscape to the radius of the shot."		119
118	Kim Kitsuragi	"There was a map in the bookstore. We should come back with it, compare the landscape to the radius of the shot."		119
119	None			69
120	Visual Calculus	You would need a map for that -- a map of Martinaise.		289
121	You	More precisely?		122
122	Visual Calculus	B' for boardwalk; B'' for Land's End and B''' for the islet, detective. There may be smaller points in between, but those are too fine to zoom in on.		123

126	You	Have a look at point B''' -- the islet.	Variable["whirling.replaced_b_primes_open"]	139
127	You	Shouldn't there be gun residue outside?		128
128	Visual Calculus	There could've been. Then the rain and slush and wind washed it away. This was more than a week ago.		79
129	You	I have the map -- extrapolate the radius to include all of Martinaise.	Variable["whirling.replaced_tried_extrapolating_once"] and CheckItem("map_of_martinaise") and Variable["whirling.replaced_b_primes_open"] == false	491
130	Visual Calculus	Seven hundred metres away. The likeliest of these B positions, 20% chance. A skilled sniper could have made the shot, provided he had a safe sniper's nest. Even with the light on inside, we're talking military training. At that distance the perpetrator would have had to take wind direction into account.		131

134	Logic	This would explain why no one heard the gunshot -- the bullet came from far away.		177
135	None			69
136	Visual Calculus	One-point-two kilometres away. The least likely of these positions, let's say 3%. A truly skilled sniper could have done it, possibly from a tent? No... too far fetched.		174
137	None			69
138	Visual Calculus	One kilometre away. An unlikely point of origin, beyond the docks somewhere -- on an islet in the Bay of Martinaise perhaps? There *are* islets there, badly charted as they may be.		189

140	Clear Window		Variable["XP.coin_operated_bay"]	142
141	Clear Window		(Variable["XP.coin_operated_bay"]) == false	138
142	Visual Calculus	One kilometre away. A point beyond the docks, on an islet in the bay. The fort is ruined but the perpetrator may have found a stable spot on the beaches surrounding it, where the concrete crumbles into the sea -- as you saw in the coin operated viewer...		189
143	You	"Kim, do you think the shot could have come from further than the roof? In Martinaise?"	IsKimHere() and Variable["whirling.viscal_window_b_primes_counted"] >=3 and Variable["TASK.report_to_the_tribunal_done"] == false	151
144	Kim Kitsuragi	"I see you have given this a lot of thought," he remarks, raising an eyebrow. "Are those the locations you've singled out, in addition to the roof? And what is the likelihood, in your opinion, that it came from a further distance?"		145 146 147
145	You	"It's *okay*."		148
146	You	"Much less than from the roof, but still."		148
147	You	"I'm just being thorough."		148
148	Kim Kitsuragi	"Okay. Well, we should see if there is gunshot residue or sniper nests if we go down the coast. Rule these spots out -- one by one."		149
149	Kim Kitsuragi	"It would be the *diligent* thing to do. Until then -- personally -- I'm going with the roof version. A simple hypothesis can be wrong, but it's something to build on."		150
150	None			69
151	Kim Kitsuragi	"From where, precisely?"		152 153
152	You	"Let's say: B prime (the boardwalk); B double prime (Land's End); B triple prime (the islet)."		144
153	You	"Never mind."		154
154	Kim Kitsuragi	"Okay."		155
155	None			69
156	Visual Calculus	Ruby ruled this out vehemently. The shot would have been heard from downstairs -- where no one heard it. The likelihood of A' has fallen drastically. You may be looking for a sniper.		201
157	You	Are there any arguments against A prime, the roof?		161

170	Clear Window	This window is pristine, at least on the inside. A red thread has been taped to the glass using adhesive tape. It trembles ever so slightly in the cold wind.		293
171	Visual Calculus	The red thread bisecting the room shows the trajectory of the bullet.		75
172	Visual Calculus	Indeed. There was no evidence of a sniper's nest in that location. The distance is too great and water vapour would have made the shot almost impossible.		135

181	Visual Calculus	Indeed, there *was* a possible sniper's nest underneath the boardwalk but no one had been there in months, if not years.		182

189	Visual Calculus	The shot would have been a small miracle: 5% likelihood. There *is* an extremely narrow field of view from the bay to the window, between Rue de Saint Ghislaine 10 and 33A. The angle would have been extreme and access to the islets is questionable...		206
190	Visual Calculus	It suggests the bullet came from the extreme upper quadrant of possible angles -- from a point beyond the roof: B'''.		477
