2	The Deserter	An old man wearing tracksuit trousers leans on the frame stock of his rifle. He gathers a big ball of spit in his mouth...		3
3	The Deserter	...then spits it out into the extinguished fire before him. He raises his black eyes, hooded by creased eyelids, to meet yours.		27
4	Empathy	He's practically tearing up from spite. Hatred got the best of him a long time ago. This man hates everything.		875

6	You	"Nice gun you got there."		8
7	You	"Sir, I need you to put down that gun so we can talk further. I'm with the police." (Proceed.)		29
8	The Deserter	"It's not nice, it's a piece of shit." He shrugs. "But it gets the job done."		9 10
9	You	"Is that a Belle-Magrave?"	Variable["tc.belle_magrave"]	11
10	You	"What make of rifle is that, exactly?"		11

15	Kim Kitsuragi	"A Samaran rifle... How did you get hold of one?"		21
16	Encyclopedia	Southeast Samaran-made. Exotic. Must be defunct too. No modern rifle manufacturer of that name springs to mind.		12

21	The Deserter	"It was sent to us by our brothers in the Hsin-Yao Commune. Military aid." He pats the rifle.		101
22	You	"How did you get hold of it?"		21
23	The Deserter	"You're a glorified night-watchman." He looks you in the eye. "This is a service rifle. I can only lay it down before an enemy commander of corresponding rank."		34

32	None			36 72 39 1027 40 37
33	The Deserter	He scoffs. The corner of his black eye twitches. He does not reply to the command.		1031
34	Reaction Speed	His elbows rest on the frame stock, calmly for now, but he may still get it in his hands. Looks like he knows the weapon...		68
35	Physical Instrument	Yell at him, now! LOUD!		32
36	You	"Put the weapon down, NOW!"	Variable["seafort.deserter_halflight_bark"]	929

47	The Deserter		(Variable["seafort.deserter_authority_red_success"]) == false	49
48	Authority	The words "I *am* an enemy commander" sound cold as iron from your lungs. The old man still hugs his gun...		50
49	Authority	It's a good line, but your voice slips on *commander*, producing a little squeak. Sounds like you're afraid.		51
50	The Deserter	"And what rank would that be, dog?"		52 65 66
51	The Deserter	"A big time operator of the pederast army. How about I keep it, huh? Hand it over to a real killer. A *briscade*."		57
52	You	"Lieutenant."		53
53	The Deserter	"A big wheel of the 4th Regiment of the pederast army." He sighs. "To hell with it. It's a walking stick anyway...."		168

71	Interfacing	There does not seem to be a magazine in the well... the rifle's side is clearly visible.		35
72	You	"You don't even have a magazine."	Variable["seafort.deserter_interfacing_no_mag"]	73
73	The Deserter	"You're right. It's a good thing I got one in the chamber."		85
74	None			75 76 161 77 910
75	You	"I'm not from the homo army."		164
76	You	"What's a *briscade*?"		81
77	You	"Just put the gun down, okay? I don't know how else to convince you."		86
78	The Deserter	"Did I offend your moralist sensibilities? You beat people to death with a baton, you fucking dog!" The old man spits.		163

82	You	"You've retained your eyesight."	Variable["seafort.deserter_perc_eyesight"]	83
83	The Deserter	"My eyesight?" He clears his throat. "Yes. Helps me see all the shit."		1030
84	None			5
85	Interfacing	Oh, wait. Yes.		160

95	You	Pick up the gun lying in the sand.	Variable["seafort.deserter_laid_down_gun"] and CheckItem("deserter_gun") == false	96
96	The Deserter	His gaze follows your motions. The rifle feels surprisingly light in your hand, frame stocked and patched in places with tape and wire.		242

100	The Deserter	"I ain't going anywhere."
101	Hand/Eye Coordination	It has stayed true to him. He can still make it sing.		103
102	The Deserter	"Military aid," he pats the rifle, "from our brothers in the Hsin-Yao Commune."		101
103	None			5
104	You	"Your weapon has stayed true to you. Mine has stayed true to me too." (Put your hand on your belt.)	Variable["seafort.deserter_handeye_singing_gun"] and CheckItem("gun_villiers")	105
105	The Deserter	"Yes, I bet you've killed a lot of people with it..." His eyes narrow. "...you fascist *fuck*."		106
106	The Deserter	"Have you come to make me one of them?" His grip on the rifle tightens.		109
107	Kim Kitsuragi	"We have *come* to ask you questions, nothing more." The lieutenant puts his hand on his holster.		112
108	You	"I'm with the police. You can keep the gun, but keep it down. Not *one* move." (Proceed.)		130
109	Composure	His right eye twitches -- with what? Fear? Rage?		117
110	The Deserter	Another spitball lands in the ashes. That's all the answer he gives.		113
111	None			5
112	Kim Kitsuragi	"If you do not comply, we will take you in. Do you understand?"		110
113	Half Light	The danger levels here are hard to read. One moment he's a fire, the next -- a fire gone out.		111

141	The Deserter	"You heard me. It's good now. Like chalk wiped from the board." His gaze turns inwards.		142
142	Encyclopedia	He's right. Almost no one remembers there was a third metastasis of the World Revolution, in the Safre Empire, extinguished in '06.		144

148	You	Let it vanish.		149
149	Encyclopedia	It's almost as if they were never there. Only the rifle remains, cradled by the old man.		143
150	The Deserter	"They wouldn't like hearing their name in your mouth. A damn dog..."		151

191	You	"Understood."		192
192	The Deserter	"You don't understand *anything*." The old man squints at you -- you see two black beads, gleaming.		197
193	The Deserter	"It is the anthem of the World Revolution." His eyes remain fixed on the sky. "One of three."		196

203	The Deserter	"You don't fucking tell me what they sang..." He closes his eyes and exhales to calm himself.		204

527	The Deserter	"May the 13th, '08, 44 years ago," he looks north. "The horizon was black with Coalition airships. Their petroleum rose to the sky and it looked like... like it *formed* the clouds. Storm clouds. When they started shelling it was... dark magic."		544 545
528	The Deserter	"The combined might of international capital, all at once -- all the greed and terror in the world -- tore into Revachol. It lifted streets from the ground and turned houses into ghosts. We were in the flak tower..." He gestures toward it.		529

531	The Deserter	"It's not *enough*," he hisses. "The total, combined power of international capital -- all their fear and terror -- tore into Revachol. Streets rose from the ground... houses turned to ghosts." He gestures erratically, then falls silent.		575
532	The Deserter	"No. I climbed the chain link across the water and hid inland. In the bunkers there, like the weakest of the weak... a mouse. Frightened of the ordnance all night and the sound of the rotors in the morning, whirring -- *thith-thith-thith...*" He looks at the sky.		550
533	The Deserter	"Airships. I climbed out." He closes his eyes: "Into hell. The Landing was complete. The chain was submerged, I had to swim back. The fortress was half submerged too. Shattered."		556

556	The Deserter	"They'd all drowned in the lower levels, or got torn to shreds above. The anti-aircraft gun had malfunctioned -- so had I. I left them without ideological direction..." He opens his eyes and stares right through you. "It was real. I'd seen it. I'd seen it *in reality*."		557

582	The Deserter	"The congenitally deformed King Filippe II built it to restrict access to the Bay of Revachol. We captured it in '02, retrofitted the fort with an AA gun to defend against an airborne landing -- against the whole world."		588 589
