Conversation 180: CHURCH / MAINFRAME

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).

71	Soona, the Programmer	"It's just me and my computer -- and it has been this way for weeks. Now please, give me some room. I need two seconds to see that you haven't destroyed anything."		331
72	Soona, the Programmer	You're so engrossed in your reading that you don't even notice the sound of the door opening...		32
73	Interfacing	Yes, you *are* breaking in. But not into *her* radiocomputer. You're a master circuit-bender.		47

77	You	"Yes, I could -- I'm a cybernetic god. I'm using the network to commandeer Coalition Warship Archer. I will turn its cannons against its masters."		79
78	You	"You're right, I'm just a drunk cop. I don't know how to do anything interesting with radiocomputers."		80

83	Mainframe	A machine stands in the corner, watched over by the figures on the stained glass window. It's turned on and quivering with soft electricity.		86
84	Kim Kitsuragi	"A radiocomputer," says the lieutenant, stepping closer. "And it's turned on." He seems cautious around the machine.		92
85	Kim Kitsuragi	"Another radiocomputer," says the lieutenant, stepping closer. "And this time it's already turned on." He seems cautious around the machine.		92

102	None			373 105 103 104
103	You	"Wait, let me just investigate it..." (Step behind the computer.)		115

105	You	"Yes, but what is this strange thing?" (Point at the machine.)	Variable["doomed.seen_radiocomputer"] == false	106
106	Kim Kitsuragi	"A radiocomputer," the lieutenant repeats a little impatiently, "we have one down at the station."		107
107	Kim Kitsuragi	And before you have time to ask: "No, I don't know how to operate it or what it's used for. Let's go."		108

115	Mainframe	You see virescent PLAY and PRINT buttons on the keyboard. A hatch connected to the central compartment is wide open.		116
116	Kim Kitsuragi	The lieutenant says nothing. You see the machine's glowing frame reflected back from his diamond-shaped glasses. You're free to proceed.		2

129	You	Step behind the machine.		131
130	You	Back off. [Leave.]
131	Mainframe	As you step closer, you notice virescent PLAY and PRINT buttons on the keyboard. A hatch connected to the central compartment is wide open.		2
132	Mainframe	A bar of fabric right above the keyboard starts producing a soft hum. The sound of static seeps through the machine's planar magnetic driver.		26

137	You	"Okay, but where are you? How did you know where I am?"		138
138	East-Insulindian Repeater Station	"I work as a repeater at the East-Insulindian Repeater Station. It's my job to know where you are, Fortress Accident."		139
139	East-Insulindian Repeater Station	"As for me, well..." Some static. Then... "I am sitting in my cubicle surrounded by a wall of radios."		140
140	Shivers	On an island on the River Esperance, a small woman, all skin and bones, sits in a room filled with audio equipment. Thousands of tiny lights are reflected back from her prescription lenses, like stars in the dark.		247

146	None			145 137
147	East-Insulindian Repeater Station	"They're merely cautious," says the old lady. "It's my job to protect their filaments as a password repeater at the East-Insulindian Station."		140
148	None			11
149	East-Insulindian Repeater Station	"Now please tell me why you're calling, Fortress Accident."		148
150	You	"Ah, right. Thanks for the explanation."		151
151	East-Insulindian Repeater Station	"That was a question. Have you inserted it into the core?"		159
152	You	"I don't know, maybe?"		156

155	You	"I swear I haven't touched anything!"		156
156	East-Insulindian Repeater Station	The old lady sighs, as a wave of static distorts her voice to a robotic sprawl. "If you are unsure, could you please take a look?"		173
157	East-Insulindian Repeater Station	"Good. Please repeat the password."		343
158	East-Insulindian Repeater Station	"I don't know, that's what I'm asking. Is this the personal log?"		159

172	None			11
173	You	"How do I do that?"		174
174	East-Insulindian Repeater Station	"Open the hatch on the compartment. Don't touch the wires, a current is running through it, but the core is safe. There's a filament inside -- I need to know what it's called."		175

179	You	"Alright, I'll do that."		180
180	East-Insulindian Repeater Station	"Yes. First you have to end this call though, and then you have to call us back. Is there anything else I could do for you meanwhile?"		183
181	You	"What do I get out of it?"		182
182	East-Insulindian Repeater Station	"After you've told me the filament's name and password you can access its contents."		179

197	You	"This is the police. Please open this thing!"		198

269	Mainframe	"6th FEB, '51: Had a little chat with the local fishermen. Said I shouldn't go near that place, that the church was *spooky* and ridden with *narcotics*. It's a little spooky, alright. Still haven't figured out the electricity."		272

287	Mainframe	"I just have to find out what caused that data loss and be done with it. Still don't understand how it managed to wipe out the backup when the backup *wasn't even connected to the front*. I know, I know... everyone thinks it's impossible; they say I must be lying. I'm here to set it right."		391
288	You	"A data loss?"	IsKimHere()	289

But I did discover a curious *audio-spatial* anomaly at the back of the church. I've named it *the swallow*. (It swallows sound.) Need to get some mics."		323

297	You	Read the sixth entry.		295
298	Mainframe	"28th FEB, '51: Yes, the first recordings confirm that the swallow is real and I'm not just losing my mind. It's a pillar of silence with a diameter of approximately three meters. Seems like the higher I go, the less I record. This might be a coincidence. Or it *could* be connected to the data loss that led me here."		303
299	Mainframe	"MARCH, '51: Some kind of young *discomen* have appeared next to the church. I've been trying to record the silence to find the epicentre, but now it turns out I've also been capturing the future of dance music, one neo-disco song over and over again..."		300
300	Mainframe	"Fortunately, the song is so monotonous I was able to devise an algorithm to factor it out. The other day one of the discomen came in. Before I could even say hello, she got scared and left. Good, I don't want anyone distracting me from my work."		396
