2	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	The spooky pair of blue eyes is peeking in from beyond the gates. The look is very intense, as if trying to burrow into your very soul.		3
3	Perception (Hearing)	A faint, irregular breathing sound resonates through the gap. Almost inaudible, but still there.		4 5
4	You	"Goddamn! Who's there?"		6
5	You	"Hello?"		6
6	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	The eyes blink rapidly. They seem to be focused on following your every move.		7 9 22 8
7	You	"Hey, I asked you a question."		11
8	You	"Huh, what a freak." [Leave.]		10
9	You	"Hello?"		11
10	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	The eyes flicker in the darkness beyond the gates.
11	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"I heard you." A muffled voice suddenly clambers through the thick, solid metal gates.		200
12	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Not through here, that's for sure."		74
13	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"And the other eye's on that hulking, blaring leader of the scabs. What a suspicious fucking guy."		280
14	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"The eyes. The eyes! There are eyes everywhere, copper. Beware."		129 130 185
15	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Welcome to fucking Martinaise, piggy! We've got our eye on you."		67
16	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"There are *so many* eyes all over the place, you can't even fathom it. Every hole, every gap, every nook -- someone will be peeking. You can't escape."		203
17	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"We saw you point a gun at the little foul-mouthed girl. What kind of an insane bastard move is that? Fuck, what's wrong with you?"		225 224 223
18	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"We saw you puke in the back yard, trying to get to the hanged man. Shows what a soft-bellied sissy you are."		194
19	You	"God fuck, don't do that, you lunatic."	Variable["gates.peeker_chose_startled_option"] == true	57
20	You	"What are you doing?"		96
21	You	"Who are you?"		59
22	You	"Those are some creepy fucking eyes."		23
23	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"As if you've got better ones, Officer Bloodshot." A muffled voice suddenly clambers through the thick, solid metal gates.		200

25	You	"I don't feel comfortable continuing this discussion." [Leave.]		26
26	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Suit yourself!" The eyes gleam in the murky depths beyond the gates.
27	You	"Hang on, how *do* you know who I am and what I do?"	Variable["gates.peeker_who_am_i"] == true	15
28	You	"How do I get to the other side of these gates?"		12
29	You	"Are you some kind of a sex pervert?"	Variable["gates.peeker_who_has_to_hide"]	30
30	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"No. And even if I were, I'm not engaged in anything factually illegal. No crime here."		31
31	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Who do you think you are, being disdainful and judgemental about a person's private, idiosyncratic, voyeuristic-erotic preferences anyway? Fuckshit. Goddamn pigs."		32 33 233
32	You	"Geez, sorry. I was just being curious?"		34
33	You	"I make it my responsibility to judge and police the intimate behaviours of complete strangers."		35
34	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Bi-curious or plain curious?"		36 37 38
35	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Believe me, we know. We've got our eyes on you. Can't keep it to yourself, can you? Always creepin' into the lives of others, trying to dominate their actions, even their conversations."		65 66
36	You	"What? I don't understand."		39
37	You	"Umm... bi?"		40
38	You	"Uhh... plain, maybe?"		41
39	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Figures. What else is new! Certainly not a surprise when it comes to you nit-wit coppo-goons."		272 43 44 51
40	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Yeah, I bet you are."		36 42
41	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"That's a bit boring, don't you think?"		36 46
42	You	"Err... okay, I guess."		45
43	You	"Can you stop being such a jerk?"		47
44	You	"Fuck you, man, come say that to my face."		47
45	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Hum. Well, this went... nowhere. Zero fun and excitement here. I'm getting real bored, how about we change the subject?"		64
46	You	"If you say so... I haven't really thought about it?"		45
47	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Ha ha ha ha!" A loud, derisive laugh echoes wildly through the gates.		60 48 49
48	You	"Whatever. Jerk."		61
49	You	"I'm going to get over there and find you, mark my words!"		50
50	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Ha ha. Okay, good luck! I'm getting bored now... change the subject, why don't we?"		62
51	You	"Fair point. Sorry, I haven't been... doing well these past days."		52
52	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"You're apologizing to me after *I* called you a bunch of shitty things? Goddamn, now who's the weird one?"		53
53	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Maybe you're like a... masochist. Into humiliation and stuff."		54 55
54	You	"Nah... I'm just a sorry sack of a man, a positively shitty cop."		56
55	You	"Maybe I am? Never thought of that."		56
56	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Ha... live and learn, lawman. Get out there and blossom into a flower! Go figure things out! Meanwhile, I'm getting bored... how about we change the subject?"		63
57	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Do what, look?"		58 110 111
58	You	"Yes!"		112
59	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"From your perspective... I'm a Mysterious Pair of Eyes, boo!!"		125
60	You	"Know what? Fine... no point in getting riled up by some clown trying to be abusive."		61
61	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Ha ha. Okay, you've got me *cornered* there, good sir officer. Anyway, this is really boring... change the subject, why don't we?"		62
62	None			24
63	None			24
64	None			24
65	You	"I don't know if that's completely accurate..."		134
66	You	"Exactly. That's what being a police officer is all about."		133
67	You	"*We* who?"		14
68	You	"That's not funny."		71
69	You	"Good joke, man." (Do a slow sarcastic clap.)		72
70	You	"I meant, who are you *really*?"		73
71	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Ha ha. It was funny enough to me."		90
72	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Good use of sarcasm there, man." You hear a faint clapping sound, brimming with caricature.		90
73	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"None of your business. Ooh, so spoo-ooky!"		262
74	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"The gate is broken as shit. Someone absolutely destroyed the access panel in the control tower above."		75 77 151
75	You	"Why would anyone do that?"		76
76	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Probably a docker, aiming to block these loud-ass scab fucks from getting in. The guys get panicky sometimes..."		80
77	You	"To keep the strikebreakers out?"		78
78	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Most likely, Mr. *Amazing Investigator*. Aren't you a sharp-ass pencil! Maybe someone should write a novel about you."		84
79	You	"Are you making fun of me?"		86
80	None			24
81	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Of course! Amazing! If a little girl says so, it absolutely should happen!"		124
82	You	"Yeah, someone should."		121
83	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Step right up, folks! Read all about the Incredible Adventures of Flop the Wonder-Cop! Able to solve the *most dastardly* of plots and ploys. Ha ha ha."		87
84	None			82 79 85
85	You	"Whatever, it's not really my thing anyway."		88
86	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Oh no, certainly not! Who would ever dare such a thing."		87
87	None			84
88	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Not a learned type? Sure is a shocker!" The eyes gleam brightly in the darkness of the void.		89
89	None			24
90	None			125
91	You	"I'm a cop, it sure is my business!"		95
92	You	"Secretive much? Hiding something?"		93
93	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Yes. My identity. Ha ha ha."		94
94	None			125
95	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Indeed... oh yes. We know who you are, we do! Don't you worry about that."		94
96	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Looking. Peeking. Gazing. Staring. Watching. Ogling. Gawking."		97 98
97	You	"Spying?"		99
98	You	"Okay, who or what are you looking at?"		244
99	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Nice going, Detective Thesaurus! You do know a few words, ha ha ha! Yeah, *spying* as well."		98
100	You	"Why is he suspicious?"		102
101	You	"You've got something against honest workers?"		104
102	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Just look at the guy, come on."		103
103	Logic	There's something twitching in the back of your mind... a connection hidden between the numbly aching folds of your brain.		107 105 106
104	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Honest, my ass. Just look at the guy, geez!"		103
105	You	"I dunno..."		108
106	You	"I'll have to... think about it."		131
107	You	"I mean... maybe, somehow?"		108
108	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Look at you, Super-Constable on his way to solve a suspicious case! Seems like that's going to take a long fucking while, ha ha."		109
109	None			24
110	You	"No, I meant... don't scare people like that."		120
111	You	"Never mind, doesn't matter." (Calm yourself.)		113
112	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"We are the eyes, we cannot be closed... if one pair shuts, another takes its place, ha ha!" The eyes grow wide and ominous.		114
113	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	The mysterious pair of eyes attentively follow your every move.		114

118	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	The eerie pair of blue eyes is still here, gazing out from the dark void between the gates.		119
119	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Boo! The eyes of Martinaise are upon you, piggy!"		24
120	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"You're the one sticking your nose where it doesn't belong, coppola." The eyes blink at you.		114

124	Drama	You know very well she did not talk about how someone should write a book about you. *You* are the one who brought the topic up.		83
125	None			70 69 68 126
126	You	"Fine, if you won't take this seriously, I'm going to ask about something else."		127
127	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Try not to hurt yourself, old man, ha ha." The pair of eyes beams impishly at you.		128
128	None			24
129	You	"Why should I beware?"		16
130	You	"I'm not scared of you."		16
131	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Go think-man, go. Find some clues, put two and two together. That's how the magic happens, ha ha."		109
132	You	"I don't really believe you."		187
133	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Is it now, is it *really*?"		135 136 279 137
134	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"You know what you've done, don't start denying it now."		154 155
135	You	"Yes."		138
136	You	"Hell yes!"		138
137	You	"Well, maybe?"		139
138	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Look at you, little authoritarian. Bet it also makes you feel good and strong to discriminate against any disenfranchised people that get in your way. Makes you feel all *manly*."		140
139	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"I sincerely doubt it. You're supposed to help people and handle actual crime. Not walk around like an oppressive tyrant, passing punishments however you feel."		146 147
140	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"It's easy and comfortable to side with the ignorant, the arrogant, the condescending, isn't it? Hide away in the soft, secure existence of perceived superiority, a vapid fantasy of your mind."		141
141	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Well, we know what you're up to. We observe your every move. Take care and watch your back." The eyes suddenly disappear from sight, only emptiness remains, floating in the lacuna between the gates.		182 183

143	None		Variable["gates.peeker_algreeting_void"]	145
144	None		(Variable["gates.peeker_algreeting_void"]) == false	115
145	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	In the shadowy depths of the gap between the gates... there is nothing. Not even a single pair of blue eyes, vigilantly observing your every move. Whoever it was, he is gone.
146	You	"Oh. I don't do that... I think. As far as I remember."		149
147	You	"But what if they *really* deserved it?"		148
148	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Isn't that what the judicial system is all about? The rules of law are developed and set for a reason. Well, this turned boring quickly... it's time to change the subject."		150
149	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Aren't we the lucky ones then? But I'm getting *real* bored with this... maybe it's time to change the subject."		150
150	None			24
151	You	"Rotten luck. I guess I'll find another way."		152
152	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Yeah? I got a suggestion, you should go try knock the guard above us out. Ha ha, that would be fuckin' priceless."		153
153	None			24
154	You	"I don't actually remember much of what I've done."		157
155	You	"I haven't done anything!"		156
156	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"A rallying cry for coppers everywhere! *We haven't done anything, we are never of any use*, ha ha."		169 170
157	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"A serious bout of denial? Or perhaps the result of the incessant stream of alcohol you've been pouring down your throat?"		158 159 160
158	You	"Denial...? I don't know."		162
159	You	"It's the booze, definitely. For certain. No doubt."		161
160	You	"Both, maybe?"		163
161	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"O-ho! I wonder what *harrowing mystery* lies behind this feat of self-destruction."		268
162	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"An intriguing mystery! I wonder what *terrible secrets* lie behind this dark and ominous veil, ha ha."		268
163	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Your life sounds like an immeasurable clusterfuck. Something's gone *really wrong*."		268
164	You	"I don't actually want to talk about my personal life with a stupid voice behind a wall."		166
165	You	"Think I don't know that?"		167
166	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"A good thing, too! I am not one of your fatuous Königstein neurosis analyst fucks, cashing in on the anxieties of nice ordinary folk. So, what now, Mr. Sensational Sleuth, sir?"		168
167	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Mm, the delights of existence. A constant anguish and concern over horrible things you don't even know about, but can *imagine* so vividly. Ha ha."		174 175
168	None			24
169	You	"What do you have against cops?"		173
170	You	"Oh whatever, I'm not going to give you the satisfaction."		171
171	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Aw, shucks! And here I was, getting ever so hopeful. Does the ardent cop-man want to ask *more questions* then?"		172
172	None			24
173	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Nothing, sir, oh nothing at all! Please don't arrest me, I'm just a poor, honest man, trying not to make a mistake. Ha ha!" The sarcastic laughter effortlessly makes it's way through the thick gates. There's no stopping it.		172
174	You	"Until doom comes and liberates us from all our woes."		176
175	You	"Okay, enough already, this is making me feel even worse."		177
176	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"You've really fallen off the rocker, haven't you? This is getting boring, it's time to change the subject."		168
177	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Good plan, I was kinda getting bored of this topic already. What's next on the menu, Inspector Repression?"		168
178	You	"There's no way you could *fit* inside all those nooks and gaps."	Variable["gates.peeker_concept_tiny"]	186
179	You	"Prove it, creep."		187
180	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"We saw you kick the mailbox. That's kind of a jerk thing to do, you know."		215
181	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"We've had our eye on you for some time now. And I can tell you straight... goddamn, you're one *boring fuckin' cop*!"		211 210
182	You	"Yeah, you piss off, you self-righteous, lecturing ass-goblin!"		184
183	You	"Hey, come back! Where are you going?"		184
184	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	There is no reply. Only silence lurks in the cavernous depths of the darkness beyond.
185	You	"Try not to get too cocky, you might get that eye poked out."		16
186	Mysterious Pair of Eyes	"Umm, what? That's not... *literal* -- there are not people actually stuffed into various tiny holes. You get that, right?"		201 202

192	You	"Ooh, so *spooky*. Anyone could have seen this."		245
