Conversation 158: INITIATION / SPEED HABIT

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).

ID	Character	Dialogue	Conditions	Links
0	None			1
1	None			2
2	Electrochemistry	Now that you've acquired some stimulants, it's time for a little pick-me-up. Time to *detect*.		3
3	None			21 4 6 5 8
4	You	What... but right *here*? Now?		7
5	You	Okay, my body is ready. Let's do this. (Try some speed.)		42
6	You	This is gonna be really bad for my health, isn't it?		9
7	Electrochemistry	See, that's your problem -- a lack of confidence. Speed can help you with that. It can help you with EVERYTHING.		20
8	You	I'm not doing this now. [Ignore thought.]		15
9	Electrochemistry	It's not ideal, no... But you need the zeal. Let's face it, you're never going to finish this case without cheating.		20
10	Electrochemistry	You raise the bottle, close a nostril and inhale *furiously*. The rush is almost immediate. It tastes bitter and caustic, and stings a bit inside your nose.		11 12 24
11	You	Mamma mia!		13
12	You	Good to have you back, Officer Supercop. The world has been waiting.		13
13	Electrochemistry	Now the taste is slowly receding into your throat... The rush is growing in intensity, your little heart pounding like a bird in a cage. A sweat breaks out across your brow, your jaw clenches...		14
14	Endurance	And, let's be honest, there's a little chest pain -- the *good* kind, of course. You may wanna blast a Nosaphed or something.		25
15	Electrochemistry	This is so unprofessional of you. Think you can ignore this -- your *moral compass* telling you to sniff it? Guess again -- you'll be back here soon. You'll get the chance to choose more wisely.		54

18	None		(CheckEquipped("drug_speed_bottle")) == false	19
19	Electrochemistry	You raise the Preptide bottle, press one nostril closed, and inhale *furiously* with the other. The rush is almost immediate. It tastes bitter and caustic, and stings a bit inside your nose.		11 12 24
20	None			3
21	You	Will it make me into a Supercop?		22
22	Electrochemistry	It will make you into *more* than that -- a Megacop! This is your modus operandi. This is how you've done it for *years*. Let's go!		23
23	None			3
24	You	"Hngfff..."		13
25	Logic	Hmmm, you could work with this high... Like, literally *work*: Solve the case, file some papers. Maybe clean up your hostel room, then solve *another* case, then start a side investigation into the para-natural, then build a radiocomputer...		26
26	Composure	Whooh, this shit is strong. This shit is disco.		36
27	None			28 29 30
28	You	"Kim, I did a little speed. I hope you don't mind. It was for professional reasons."	IsKimHere()	31
29	You	Feels great. Are there *any* downsides to this at all?		34
30	You	Cool, cool, let's boogie. [Finish thought and spring to action.]		40
31	Kim Kitsuragi	"I'm not your mother." He avoids your gaze. "I don't care. Do what you have to do."		32
32	Esprit de Corps	As long as you remain functional, he thinks. Now let's get back to work.		33
33	None			27
34	Electrochemistry	To *this*? You kidding?! There are downsides to *not* being on it.		35
35	Volition	There are *massive* downsides. It's a potent neurotoxin. You're turning yourself into a frayed idiot.		33
36	None			37 38
37	None		IsKimHere()	39
38	None		(IsKimHere()) == false	27
39	Suggestion	Time for a little truth. Tell the lieutenant you did some, clear the air.		27
40	Electrochemistry	Spring-spring! Everything is clear around you. You're ready to concentrate on the next task in the task chain.		51
41	Tutorial Agent	In the bottom right corner of the screen there's a SPEED button! SPEED gives +1 to MOTORIC skills: Perception, Reaction Speed, Hand/Eye Coordination, Savoir Faire, Interfacing, and Composure. This is good before a White Check -- but damages your Morale.
