2	Insulindian Phasmid	The creature stands on long stilt-like legs, antennae hanging from its head like a woman's hair -- white and curled at the tips. It is no more than five steps away from you.		256
3	Suggestion	The segmented antennae move with apprehension, searching for something... you.		4

13	Insulindian Phasmid		(Variable["seafort.deserter_rc_success_heard_it"]) == false	8
14	Perception (Hearing)	The hiss is different from the strings you heard before. It says something else, in a lower pitch...		8

25	Inland Empire	Be afraid. You smell wrong.		26
26	None			8
27	Kim Kitsuragi	"It is," the lieutenant whispers behind you. You hear the familiar ring of his jacket unzipping -- slowly. Painstakingly so...		29
28	Kim Kitsuragi	You glance over your shoulder. The lieutenant holds a piece of milled aluminium. He begins to pull it open, extremely carefully -- it's the camera!		39

40	Savoir Faire	No! The flash will scare the creature. Warn him NOW!		45

45	None			48 46 47
46	You	"Kim..." (Whisper.) "The flash is loud. It won't like that."	Variable["seafort.phasmid_savoir_do_not_camera"] == true	52
47	You	(Whisper) "Are you sure you won't scare it off?"		53
48	You	(Point to it.) "What is that?"	Variable["yard.hanged_picture_taken"] == false and Variable["seafort.phasmid_perc_looks_like_camera"] == false	49
49	Kim Kitsuragi	"My camera."		50
50	Savoir Faire	No! The sound of the flash will scare the creature off. Warn him NOW!		51
51	None			45
52	Kim Kitsuragi	"We need a photo -- no one will believe us." He continues to pull the lens open...		54
53	Kim Kitsuragi	"We need a photo -- or no one will believe us." He continues to pull the lens open...		54
54	Insulindian Phasmid	From the corner of your eye, you see a sudden cascade of motion ripple through the insect's limbs. A series of ultrasonic clicks fills your ear...		55
55	Half Light	I am not palatable. Do not eat me. I am afraid.		56 57
56	You	"Okay, take the picture."		58
57	You	"Stop. Let me approach it first."		59
58	Kim Kitsuragi	With the sound of metal sliding against metal, the lieutenant reveals the lens. The glass glints in his hand as he begins to slide in an ampoule...		294
59	Kim Kitsuragi	"I won't be one of those fools who didn't take a picture..." He has stopped fiddling with the camera, but does not put it down.		60
60	Authority	He's letting his pride get in the way.		88
61	None			62 63 65
62	You	(Whisper) "Who cares what they think Kim."		64
63	You	(Whisper) "I have the pheromone, I can approach it."	Variable["coast.morells_pheromone_spray"] == true and Variable["whirling.bath_washed_pheromones_off"] == false	66
64	Kim Kitsuragi	He comes to, abruptly. "Understood. Of course," he says with a nod.		68
65	You	"Just listen to me!"		67
66	Kim Kitsuragi	"I don't think the pheromone will do anything." His whisper turns to a sceptical hiss -- but he has stopped now.		68
67	Kim Kitsuragi	"Shh... okay." The lieutenant puts his finger to his lips and nods.		68
68	Insulindian Phasmid	The spindly mechanism turns itself back to you, its antennae taking their measure of the air, slowly...		69
69	None			8
70	You	(Say something to the insect, quietly, like...)		932
71	You	Retreat slowly. [Leave.]		89
72	Insulindian Phasmid	The creature tilts its tiny head to the side and appears to look at you. It is incredibly light, like the slightest gust of wind should blow it away, but it doesn't...		81
73	Conceptualization	Its insect mind is impenetrable to your reasoning.		86
74	You	(Whisper.) "What is that?"	Variable["tc.insulindian_phasmid"] == false	757
75	You	"Hey."		72
76	You	"Don't be afraid..."		79
77	You	"You exist..."	Variable["TASK.find_phasmid"] == true	78
78	Insulindian Phasmid	A sudden chirrup fills the air -- the walking stick moves its whole body, limbs working independently of each other, like the parts of a masterfully constructed machine.		84
79	Insulindian Phasmid	Nothing changes in the cyclical, praying motion of the creature's limbs. They are porcelain white on the inside, and reed-coloured on the out -- beige, light brown and striped. You are unsure if it is scared or not.		73
80	Empathy	There is a sadness in there -- or is it in you, from the dream... It's still with you, the pitiful hey you told her, even now...		86
81	Insulindian Phasmid			82 83
82	Insulindian Phasmid		Variable["seafort.dolores_said_hey"]	80
83	Insulindian Phasmid		(Variable["seafort.dolores_said_hey"]) == false	933
84	Empathy	It moves just an inch closer to you. Or does it only feel like it does?		85
85	Composure	Something in its body language has changed, just slightly...		86
86	None			8
87	The Deserter	No one hears you whisper. Behind you, the straggler sits despondently by the fire, oblivious to his surroundings.		105
88	Insulindian Phasmid	You see the insect turn to him, its mandible antennae reaching out. Its motions are quick, sudden.		61
89	Insulindian Phasmid			90 91
90	Insulindian Phasmid		IsKimHere()	92
91	Insulindian Phasmid		(IsKimHere()) == false	94
92	Kim Kitsuragi	"We can't just leave it standing there. We have to do something, detective. It could be..." He thinks. "It could be connected somehow even..."		97
93	Insulindian Phasmid	The ghost insect watches you disengage, continuing its hypnotizing motion. It's unclear whether it even registers that you're going...
94	Insulindian Phasmid			95 96
95	Insulindian Phasmid		IsCunoInParty()	760
96	Insulindian Phasmid		(IsCunoInParty()) == false	93
97	Empathy	You've never seen him get this excited. His voice is almost trembling.		860
98	Insulindian Phasmid			99 100
99	Insulindian Phasmid		IsCunoInParty()	737
100	Insulindian Phasmid		(IsCunoInParty()) == false	87
101	Insulindian Phasmid	He not as much as glances at the gigantic insect to his right -- nor does it look at him. Its antennae take their measure of the air, slowly... searching for something -- you.		102
102	None			8
103	Kim Kitsuragi	"I have absolutely no idea..." The lieutenant whispers back. You hear the familiar ring of his jacket unzipping -- slowly. Painstakingly so...		104
104	None			29
105	Esprit de Corps	Meanwhile, in the antechamber of the Station 57 lazareth, a neatly packed pair of cargo pants and an orange bomber jacket sit in a locker. Nested on the jacket -- a small block of milled aluminium, tucked away in a leather case.		106
106	Insulindian Phasmid			107 108
107	Insulindian Phasmid		Variable["seafort.phasmid_esprit_stuff_in_station"]	109

111	Insulindian Phasmid		(Variable["yard.hanged_picture_taken"]) == false	113
112	Esprit de Corps	An instant camera -- the Trigat Sunshine Mini. A moan of discomfort sounds from the lazareth, as he turns onto his side...		114
113	Esprit de Corps	A camera -- an instant colour camera the lieutenant keeps tucked away in his coat pocket. A moan of discomfort sounds from the lazareth, as he turns onto his side...		114
114	Insulindian Phasmid	Back on an island 28 kilometres away, the gigantic insect moves its antennae, taking its measure of the air, slowly... it's searching for something -- you.		102
115	Electrochemistry	Slowly, with your breath held, you take two small steps toward the phasmid. The creature lets out a series of ultrasonic clicks that swarm around your head like swallows...		118
116	Electrochemistry	You barely get to take one step -- the invertebrate reacts with uncanny speed, skating away across the water. It's gone, like a skipping stone, leaving nothing but rings on the sea's calm mirror...		204
117	Encyclopedia	The tracheal system on the creature's abdomen expands in front of you, to take in and expel air -- it's smelling you.		119
118	Empathy	Like laughter. A sort of happiness.		120
119	Insulindian Phasmid	...hissing and clicking, it extends its mandible-like antennae to greet you. You're right below it now, looking up at the colossal chitin of its white limbs. The head of the creature is crowned by reeds and its eyes are like small droplets of water.		121
120	Endurance	Sweat drips from your brow, soaking your chest... you reek of it, your chemicals.		117
121	None			165 178 122 124 123 129 125
122	You	Raise your hand slowly.		126
123	You	(Whisper) "Okay Kim, take the picture."	IsKimHere()	391
124	You	"Hello. I don't know who I am."		127
125	You	Disengage slowly. [Leave.]		834
126	Insulindian Phasmid	The insect stops its stridulation, seeming to observe you. Below its crown of reeds, little pin-prick eyes detect motion, glittering. The world stands still around you.		164
127	Insulindian Phasmid	No reply. A total, ancient silence comes from its mouth, along with what appears to be some kind of foam... The stridulations of its limbs continue all around you.		130 131
128	Conceptualization	Praying to you.		158
129	You	Tell me -- what are you doing?	Variable["seafort.phasmid_white_check_found"]	416
130	You	Stand on your tiptoes and look more closely...		132
131	You	Back off.		153
132	Insulindian Phasmid	You were right. Little bubbles form on the mouthparts of the creature -- on its segmented lower lip. It looks to be foaming, slowly. The foam is white, then yellowish...		134
133	None			135 136 137
134	Perception (Smell)	The faintest smell, like you've never felt before. Like burnt roses.		133
135	You	(Whisper.) "Kim, it's foaming."	IsKimHere() or IsCunoInParty()	138
136	You	"Why are you're foaming?"	IsKimHere() == false and IsCunoInParty() == false	151
137	You	Let your heels drop back onto solid ground.		154
138	Insulindian Phasmid			139 140
139	Insulindian Phasmid		IsKimHere()	141
140	Insulindian Phasmid		(IsKimHere()) == false	770
141	Kim Kitsuragi	"Careful. It may be poisonous." The lieutenant watches you apprehensively.		142
142	Insulindian Phasmid	The foam slowly turns a darker shade, like burnt caramel -- as the insect moves its mouthparts, masticating. The little bubbles begin to burst, one by one...		144
143	Perception (Smell)	Letting out that same smell, like summer burning.		147
144	Insulindian Phasmid			145 146
145	Insulindian Phasmid		Variable["seafort.phasmid_smell_burnt_roses"]	143

148	Insulindian Phasmid		IsTHCPresent("juicy_fruit")	150
149	Insulindian Phasmid		(IsTHCPresent("juicy_fruit")) == false	152
150	Inland Empire	Apricot blossoms. White blossoms erupting. A sensation, like cold hands on your face.		152
151	Insulindian Phasmid	Silence. Click. The foam slowly turns a darker tone, like burnt caramel -- as the insect moves its mouthparts, masticating on nothing in particular. Then the little bubbles begin to burst, one by one...		144
152	None			121
153	Insulindian Phasmid	The invertebrate stops, raising its scythe-like arms and tilting its tiny head, formed from the fused plates around its mouth. For a second, the effigy is frozen, then it nudges back into motion with a click.		155
154	None			153
155	None			121
156	You	Raise the other hand too.		157
157	Insulindian Phasmid	As you do, the invertebrate comes to life, its limbs moving independent of each other. As if each has a mind of its own. They are white like stalks of porcelain, knitting above you.		128
158	Insulindian Phasmid			159 160
159	Insulindian Phasmid		Variable["seafort.phasmid_concept_praying"]	161 162 163
160	Insulindian Phasmid		(Variable["seafort.phasmid_concept_praying"]) == false	464
161	You	(Whisper.) "That's right. Pray."		174
162	You	"Don't pray to me. I'm nothing."		175
163	You	Put your hands down instead.		183
164	Perception (Hearing)	Suddenly there is silence.		173
165	You	(Look behind you.) "It's smelling me..."	Variable["seafort.phasmid_ency_smelling_you"] == true and (IsKimHere() or IsCunoInParty())	166

167	Insulindian Phasmid		IsKimHere()	169
168	Insulindian Phasmid		(IsKimHere()) == false	761
169	Kim Kitsuragi	"Maybe it is real, the pheromone..." The lieutenant's mouth is agape.		176
170	You	Put your hand down.		171
171	Insulindian Phasmid	The invertebrate comes back to life, stridulating. Sets of complex eyes follow you, moving in tandem, on either side of the insect's small head.		172
172	None			121
173	Half Light	No. Stop. Be afraid.		156 170
174	Insulindian Phasmid	Unwittingly the insect continues its stridulations. As it moves, tuft-like structures still pretending to be plants rustle along on its joints.		181
175	Insulindian Phasmid	The reed-creature does not stop its stridulations -- it towers above you, parting the reeds it emerged from. Tuft like structures still rustle on its joints.		181
176	Authority	About now he is ready to believe in anything.		823
177	None			121
178	You	(Look up.) "You're smelling me..."	Variable["seafort.phasmid_ency_smelling_you"] == true and IsKimHere() == false and IsCunoInParty() == false	179
179	Insulindian Phasmid	The insect's head is crowned with reed-like scales, the shape of seed heads. They rustle as the air moves. The ventricles at its abdomen continue to expanding, like lunglets...		180
180	Electrochemistry	Breathing you in -- your sour, greasy semiochemicals on the breeze...		177
181	Half Light	Perhaps it is preparing to eat its god?		182
182	None			121
183	Insulindian Phasmid	Sets of complex eyes follow you --droplets of dew on either side of the head.		184
184	None			121
185	Kim Kitsuragi	"Okay..." With a slow ring of metal, the lieutenant slides the lens open and raises it to eye level.		186
186	Insulindian Phasmid	There is no change in the insects motion while its being aimed by the camera. It remains fixated on you.		187
187	Kim Kitsuragi	"In three," the lieutenant whispers, his voice is tense. "If it moves, you jump back, I'll shoot. Here we go. Three, two, one..."		188
188	Insulindian Phasmid	The shrill flash of the camera cuts the air like the blade of a sword. The phasmid freezes in its bright light -- head turned toward the lieutenant. Hypnotized by the flash, it stands frozen before you.		189
189	Shivers	The sweat on your arms feels cold as ice. As if you're frozen as well, in the shadow of this giant statue of chitinous marble.		347
190	You	(Yell.) "No!"		212
191	You	"Where did it go?" (Look north.) Can you see it?"	Variable["seafort.phasmid_reaction_it_is_off"] == false	202
192	You	"How did it do that? Glide?"		201
193	You	"Did you get it, did you get the picture?"	Variable["seafort.phasmid_talking_of_photo"] == false	215

201	Kim Kitsuragi	"It appears the insect can walk on water. Like a water strider, you know. It's almost as fast..." He stops, short of breath. "Uncanny..."		231
202	Kim Kitsuragi	"No." He shakes his head. "It's gone for now, detective."		231
203	Kim Kitsuragi	"I don't think..." He tries to explain, patting slightly: "I don't think it had anything to do with the ox-spray. It was just scared."		207
204	Reaction Speed	It's blending into the tufts of reeds in the distance! Moving from islet to islet...		197
205	Electrochemistry	And you, a detective of the RCM, standing there with your mouth agape -- alone and dumbfounded.		296
206	You	"I shouldn't have taken a bath, the pheromone washed off!"	Variable["whirling.bath_washed_pheromones_off"] == true	203
207	Rhetoric	There is uncertainty in his phrasing.		208
208	Insulindian Phasmid			209 210

210	Insulindian Phasmid		(Variable["seafort.phasmid_rhet_kim_uncertainty"]) == false	285
211	Half Light	It definitely had something to do with the ox-spray! It was repelled by you, as if it was scared.		285
212	Kim Kitsuragi	Your voice echoes on the water.		334
213	You	"It did have something to do with the ox-spray!"		214
214	Kim Kitsuragi	"Okay, but..." He shakes his head in disbelief. "I'm not an entomologist, okay? Neither was the para-scientist. Who knows? The only thing I'm sure of is..."		228
215	Kim Kitsuragi	He shakes his head. In silence -- an expression on his face that you've never seen there before.		291
216	You	"I don't understand... I had the pheromone...."	Variable["coast.morells_pheromone_spray"] == true and Variable["whirling.bath_washed_pheromones_off"] == false	203
217	You	"Tell me you got the picture..."	Variable["seafort.phasmid_talking_of_photo"] == true	215
218	You	"I think it went into the reeds there, on that islet..." (Point North.)	Variable["seafort.phasmid_reaction_it_is_off"] == true	219
219	Kim Kitsuragi	"Looks like it doesn't like to stay out in the open for long." The lieutenant squints where you're pointing.		231
220	You	"You didn't get the picture?"		221
221	Kim Kitsuragi	"No..." He shows you the white slip of photo paper. There's a rainbow of colour -- blue, white, yellow, and brown like a child's painting.		222
222	Perception (Sight)	Even a wildlife photographer couldn't make out a familiar form, let alone a gigantic stick insect.		223

226	Perception (Sight)	However hard you squint you can't make out anything recognizable, let alone a stick insect.		261
227	You	"What now?" (Continue.)		235
228	Kim Kitsuragi	There's a flicker of a smile on his lips, like he can't believe what he's saying: "We saw it -- it was real."		230
229	You	"I should have taken the pheromone from Morell!"	Variable["coast.morells_pheromone_spray"] == false and Variable["TASK.inspect_traps"] == true	203
230	None			200
231	None			200
232	You	Say nothing, swallow it.		233
233	Kim Kitsuragi	"It's just a blur," he says, looking at the slip of paper in his hand.		234
234	None			200
235	The Deserter	"What now..." the old man behind you repeats suddenly. He's put his hand into the ash -- it's dirty and black.		236
236	Empathy	In some kind of strange, semi-catatonic state.		237
237	Kim Kitsuragi	"Our suspect's not looking so good. We should check him over -- also..." He points to the reeds.		287
238	You	"What in the name of god was that?"	Variable["tc.insulindian_phasmid"] == false and Variable["coast.morells_pheromone_spray"] == false	252
239	You	"Damn, we should have helped the cryptozoologists."	Variable["tc.insulindian_phasmid"] == true and Variable["coast.morells_pheromone_spray"] == false and Variable["TASK.inspect_traps"] == false	240
240	Kim Kitsuragi	"Helped them?" He falls silent for a moment. "I don't see what more we could have done?"		241 242 243
241	You	"We could have learned something about the phasmid's behaviour. Searched for it with them."		245
242	You	"We should have been more thorough Kim. We should have..."		245
243	You	"You're right."		244
244	Kim Kitsuragi	"I'm not. We should have... it's my fault too." He looks across the water. The slip of photo paper still drying in his hand, hanging despondently for a second.		246
245	Kim Kitsuragi	"I know. We should have... It's my fault too." He looks across the water. The slip of photo paper still drying in his hand, just hanging there for a second.		246
246	Empathy	It's too late now.		247

486	Insulindian Phasmid	I am not. There isn't even a central nervous system in my head. Only mouthparts for eating wetland plants.		488
487	Insulindian Phasmid	I smelled it, as soon as you stepped on the island -- strawberries. Fresh burst of red strawberries. Ripe turning riper. Soon you will be rotten.		488
488	Insulindian Phasmid	Now I will tell you how it is for me. For me it is a series of half-lit images. A kind of darkness, being intruded upon. Transient. Dim. Moist.		511
489	Insulindian Phasmid	Fire? Where?		490 491 492
490	You	Inside.		495
491	You	In the city, all around. It's going down.		494
492	You	On the horizon. Pale fire. This thing we're both sensing is coming to an end.		493
493	Insulindian Phasmid	That is your problem. Nothing ever ends for me. There is only room for two, maybe three pictures in my mind.		508
494	Insulindian Phasmid	I am oblivious to the city. It is only on my margins. A ball I sometimes spin. A toy, Or the cylinder of a discarded trash bin.		433
495	Insulindian Phasmid	I do not have fire inside me. In me there is not even blood, but lymph -- like sap from a wine palm.		433
496	Insulindian Phasmid	Yes, holy is the lord of hosts. And all the Earth is filled with his glory.		433
497	Insulindian Phasmid	I am at the end of a narrow funnel. Weightless. So light it only feels like something to be me. In truth -- perhaps I'm nothing? I certainly do not have a soul. And if I did, it would never ache.		498
498	None			499 500 501
499	You	You're the type of animal I would like to be.		503
500	You	I'm glad to be me -- an incredibly sensitive instrument.		558
501	You	The fuck is happening to me right now?		502
502	Insulindian Phasmid	I don't know. You're just a shadow for me. Far away, faintly transmitting, but for a curious smell.		499 500
503	Insulindian Phasmid	Are you sure?		563
504	You	A small leg. That's horrible.		506
505	You	That's cool.		529
506	Insulindian Phasmid	Yes. The leg tried to move around independently, making it hard to walk.		512 517
507	You	Intruded upon -- by what?	Variable["seafort.phasmid_branch_i_exist"] == true	478
508	Insulindian Phasmid	For me it is a series of half-lit images. A kind of darkness, being intruded upon. Transient. Dim. Moist.		509
509	Conceptualization	So what if the next picture doesn't come? This creature is not the photographer, just the camera.		510
510	None			456
511	None			456
512	You	You don't have a foot there now!		513
513	Insulindian Phasmid	Yes, thankfully someone ate it. The next time I moulted I grew an antenna again!		514

520	Insulindian Phasmid		Variable["seafort.phasmid_viscal_why_antenna_smaller"]	522 523
521	Insulindian Phasmid		(Variable["seafort.phasmid_viscal_why_antenna_smaller"]) == false	566 535 536
522	You	This is the explanation I came up with?		524
523	You	Got it. Solved it.		525
524	Physical Instrument	No -- it's what the three metres tall stick insect came up with.		566 535 536
525	Physical Instrument	Officially, it was the three metres tall stick insect who solved it.		566 535 536
526	Insulindian Phasmid	So, you see, it's sometimes also difficult being a stick insect. The leg tried to move independently, making it hard to walk. But hearing about it makes you uncomfortable, I understand.		527
527	Pain Threshold	Change of topic!		528
528	None			456

534	None			456

536	You	Way worse has happened to me.	Variable["seafort.phasmid_changed_mind"] == false	541
537	Insulindian Phasmid	Yes, I am lucky. It is nothing compared to the horror that is you -- with all of creation reflected in your forebrain. A nerve mirror of horrifying fidelity. Constant, never-ending damnation.		542
538	You	Yes I'm sure. Why do you ask?		540
539	You	No, I'm not. Why are you asking?		540
540	Insulindian Phasmid	Sometimes, when moulting, I regrow a lost limb. One time something went wrong and a small leg replaced a missing antenna.		561 504 505
541	Insulindian Phasmid	Of course, it is nothing compared to the horror that is you -- with all of creation reflected in your forebrain, in terrible fidelity, a fire mirror. Eternal, never-ending damnation.		542
542	Pain Threshold	It would take a million years of evolution -- or a total reversal in the condition of the world -- for your pain to end.		534
543	You	Are you the miracle?	Variable["seafort.phasmid_branch_what_are_you"] == true and Variable["yard.hanged_way_out_west"] == true	544
544	Insulindian Phasmid	No. You are the miracle.		640
545	You	How?		546
546	Insulindian Phasmid	The moral of our encounter is: I am a relatively median lifeform, while you are extreme, all-engulfing madness. A volatile simian nervous system, ominously new to the planet.		612
547	Insulindian Phasmid	You are a violent and irrepressible miracle. The vacuum of cosmos and the stars burning in it are afraid of you. Given enough time you would wipe us all out and replace us with nothing -- just by accident.		638
548	You	"Kim. Am I having a violent epileptic seizure?"	Variable["seafort.phasmid_branch_insane_miracle"] == true and IsKimHere()	549
549	Kim Kitsuragi	"It doesn't look like that, no."		569 641
550	You	"Then, I think I'm having a vision. About the final fate of mankind."		551
551	Kim Kitsuragi	"Okay." After a second the lieutenant asks: "Is it somehow related to the case?"		645 646 614
552	You	I am a detective.		553
553	Insulindian Phasmid	So am I. I was born to detect sucrose rewards and semiochemicals. What were you born to detect?		617 616 554
554	You	I was born to detect you.		555
555	Insulindian Phasmid	Yes. No one detected me for such a long, long time. For thousands of years. I dithered, out of sight. Draped myself in greenery.		556 620
556	You	This is my masterpiece.		618
557	You	It was very disorienting at first, but I'm keeping my shit together.		579
558	Insulindian Phasmid	Few of us can begin to imagine the horror of you -- with all of creation reflected in your forebrain. It must be like the highest of hells, a kaleidoscope of fire and writhing glass. Eternal damnation.		560
559	You	It's hell. I change my mind. I want to be you.		562
560	Insulindian Phasmid	Even when you're sleeping... And when you wake, you carry it around on your neck. With eyes open that cannot help but swallow more behind the mirror. I feel great, mute empathy for you.		559 557
561	You	That's absolutely nothing.		565
562	Insulindian Phasmid	You want to be a phasmid? Are you sure?		564
563	None			538 539
564	None			563
565	Insulindian Phasmid	The leg tried to move around independently, making it hard to walk.		512 517

567	Insulindian Phasmid	Yes, compared to the immeasurable, fiery empyrean of glass and terror in your head, it seems trivial. I just thought you should know.		568
568	Encyclopedia	Maybe you would find it interesting!		534
569	You	"What does it look like?"		570
570	Kim Kitsuragi	"You're just staring at it," he whispers.		550 643
571	You	We need to know. Perhaps it's sent to us by a god?		615
572	You	Then all we can do is beat our fists against it? Day after day. With no answer.		600
573	You	What exactly are you?		574
574	Insulindian Phasmid	I am an unknown species of the order Phantasmodea -- endemic to the Insulindian isola. For the last three hundred and fifty years I have hidden in plain sight, masquerading as the reeds. Moulding, cloning myself, unfolding at night to play with trash bins and buoys.		607
575	You	I have to say good bye now. I have no more thoughts. That was all.		672
576	Insulindian Phasmid	No. There is one more.		820 818 653 830
577	Insulindian Phasmid	Thank you. I also have one final thing to say to you: that woman -- turn from the ruin. Turn and go forward.		580 819 655 831
578	Insulindian Phasmid	She was middle class. It doesn't take a three-metre stick insect to tell you that.		654
579	Insulindian Phasmid	That must be incredibly hard. The arthropods are in silent and meaningless awe of you. Know that we are watching -- when you're tired, when the vision spins out of control. The insects will be looking on. Rooting for you.		581
580	You	I can't.		656
581	Insulindian Phasmid	And when you fall we will come to raise you up, bud from you, banner-like, blossom from you and carry you apart in a sky funeral. In honour of your passing. (But not me, because I am just a leaf eater.)		597
582	Volition	In honour of your will, lieutenant-yefreitor. That you kept from falling apart, in the face of sheer terror. Day after day. Second by second.		587

602	Insulindian Phasmid	Yes. They don't mind.		793 629
603	Insulindian Phasmid	I have stayed hidden through four forms of government and two scientific revolutions. Until I was accidentally discovered by a detective of the Citizens Militia in Revachol, district of Martinaise, March, '51.		633
604	Insulindian Phasmid	I went unnoticed by the first settlers and the land surveyors of the suzerain. Also by the soldiers of the Revolution and the officials of the occupation. Even the Semenese islanders who came here first, but did not stay, have not seen me.		605
605	Encyclopedia	And the 4,000-year-old Seraseolitic civilization buried so deep in the sediment that you do not even know it is there -- they too did not see me.		603

732	Insulindian Phasmid	Hissing and clicking, the arthropod extends its mandible-like antennae to greet you again. You're right below it, looking up at the colossal chitin of its white limbs. Its small eyes look at nothing in particular.		731
733	Kim Kitsuragi	"No." You have rarely seen him with that face.		735
734	Kim Kitsuragi	"We are now just another pair of crackpots who did not take a picture of the giant cryptid.... Maybe we'll get another chance? We know it's here now..."		841

793	You	Have you accidentally eaten another reed-phasmid?		794
794	Insulindian Phasmid	Yes. I once cloned myself and ate the little ones. It was winter and I woke up at the wrong time. It was an accident.		619
795	Logic	The Deserter, he's been here for a long time.		636
796	Insulindian Phasmid	It is a nervous shadow cast into the world by you, eating away at reality. A great, unnatural territory. Its advent coincides with the arrival of the human mind.		637
797	You	Wait, what is the pale?	Variable["tc.pale"] == false	796
798	Insulindian Phasmid	We suspect it will be something like the oxygen holocaust that wiped out anaerobic life 2.6 billion years ago -- when organisms first started breathing. Only much worse.		801

800	Insulindian Phasmid	Everything your eyes touch goes back there -- behind the nerve mirror. What if you blink? Are we still here? (Please don't blink). What if you misplace us all one day -- or just forget?		803

820	You	No. There are no more thoughts.		821
821	Insulindian Phasmid	A series of chirrups surrounds you, like swallows on a cliff side, as the phasmid moves its forearms -- tymbals visible on the inside of its white stalks...		676

830	You	Of all the creatures I've met you are the most beautiful.		577
831	You	What woman?		832
832	Insulindian Phasmid	You cannot lie to me. Behind you it smells of fires. So awfully far you were prepared to go in her presence. End it.		580 819 655
