11	You	"Hey, who's there?"		25
12	You	"This is the police. Show yourself!"		25
13	Tiago	"Habitual alcohol use has made you into a scared little pussy, homes. But don't worry, everything's gonna be alright -- you've come to the right place."		470
14	You	"You must be the crab-man."	Variable["church.tiago_met_before_ravers"] == false and Variable["tc.crab_man"]	428

16	You	"Do you know where the other spooker is?" (Point at the strange machines around you.)		18

23	Tiago	"Oh hey, wey. There's coffee in the back... Oh, wait, I meant the Mother's love."		119
24	You	Say nothing. Be quiet for now.		25
25	Tiago	The man leans forward a little, fixing you with a steady, unreadable gaze, then speaks...		13

30	You	Hold your peace.		33
31	You	"I'm not scared. I just don't understand why the female sexual organs have to be associated with weakness."		32
32	Tiago	"You've really got a case of frayed nerves. *Pussy* in this usage comes from *pusillanimous*. Everybody knows that."		469
33	Tiago	"Here you can receive the Mother's love, and, when you're ready, she will take your hand and lift you out of the despair at the bottom of the bottle."		34

37	Kim Kitsuragi	The lieutenant whispers to you, quietly. "This man is obviously a habitual narcotics user. Do we really need to question him?"		38
38	Esprit de Corps	I'm put off by this religious stuff, he thinks -- and maybe the ceiling-climbing, too. It's all very hard to square with the lieutenant's own view of reality.		72
39	Rhetoric	He's a born preacher. Enjoy the rhetorical flourishes, but remain vigilant -- don't let him get too close. He's crazy.		47
40	Tiago	"Chill out, man. Here you can receive the Mother's love, and, when you're ready, she will take your hand and lift you out of the despair at the bottom of the bottle."		34
41	You	Wait, what qualifies as *too* close?		43
42	You	I think I'm willing to try crazy. Anything to stop this suffering.		46
43	Rhetoric	Giving away all of your possessions, sacrificing a limb to appease an angry god, trying to live on air and light alone as though you were some kind of plant...		502
44	You	Vigilance is practically my middle name. I won't let anyone talk me into anything unreasonable.		45
45	Rhetoric	That's right. You've got to watch your own back.		72
46	Rhetoric	Seems it's already too late. Have fun on the kooky train.		72

51	Tiago	The sinewy figure lingers on the wooden beams, blending into the shadows.		2
52	You	"How can you not know that when you both live here?"		53
53	Tiago	"Don't really follow her comings and goings. Just see her typing on her computer now and then. We've got different interests."		395
54	You	"I'm doing a survey of passwords and passcodes, identifying regional trends. In the interests of public safety, of course."	Variable["church.tiago_drama_surveys_lie"]	56
55	Tiago	"What'd you think of that? Makes me almost pity *la nihilista pequeña* when I hear it."		6
56	Tiago	"Don't sweat it, vato. The password is 'AFTER LIFE DEATH.'"		57
57	Inland Empire	That is true. But what comes after death?		55
58	You	"This is stupid. I don't even know what this is."		87
59	Tiago	"I was like you once -- just dragging my feet to the next bottle... Shit was dark, homes."		113
60	Tiago	"I know it's hard to admit that you have a problem... I was like you once -- couldn't take an honest look at the damage *el vino* was doing to my mind and my spirit."		113
61	You	"For some reason I feel like you have a point there."		509
62	Electrochemistry	Look at these crazies. What is this, a fucking intervention?		471
63	None			61 139 64 58 88
64	You	"You know, alcohol is central to my identity. If I wouldn't drink I just wouldn't be *me*."		84
65	You	"Oh, I'm very in touch with my suffering."		68
66	You	"Yeah, I guess I have a bit of a problem, and it's been getting out of hand lately, but..."		70
67	You	"How do you know what I'm feeling?"		59
68	Tiago	"Not all of it. I was like you once. You don't know all the havoc *el vino* is wreaking on your mind and your spirit. Necesitas parar, homie."		113
69	You	"Great. More patronising. So original."		71
70	Tiago	"*Estás crudo*, wey. I see deep inside you. Your body and spirit are suffering greatly from *overindulgment* and you don't even know it."		103
71	Tiago	"I know it's hard to admit that you've got a problem. I was like you once -- couldn't take an honest look into my own heart and see I was in pain."		113
72	None			136

79	Tiago	"You've come back to face your cacodaemons. Good. You ain't gonna outrun them if you don't drop the bottle."		80 81
80	You	"Why do you keep talking about alcohol?"		83
81	You	"This is tiresome." [ Leave.]		82
82	None			74
83	None			70
84	Tiago	"The grave's comin' for your little 'identity' sooner than you think, homes." He shakes his head sadly. "You sure you're ready? The Mother could set you free from all that shit." His words echo in the cold air of the church.		91
85	Tiago	"It don't matter who *I* am, wey. I'm just bringin' you the message of the Mother's love. She don't want you to hang yourself on your own stubbornness." His words echo in the cold air of the church.		91
86	Tiago	"Don't trust me -- trust the Mother. I'm only the messenger, homes." His voice echoes in the cold air of the church.		91
87	Tiago	"You know what this is. It's truth, homes. Join me, become one with it -- aflame with the Mother's love." His voice echoes in the cold air of the church.		90
88	You	"That's all well and good, but we need to talk about the unlicensed occupation of ecclesiastic property."		89
89	Tiago	"The only thing we need to talk about is how the Mother can really help you, homes." His voice echoes in the cold air of the church.		91
90	Reaction Speed	Wait, what does that even mean?		91
91	Tiago	"This is the Church of the Mother of Silence. You are welcome here." He sways gently on the beams, waiting for you to take it all in.		142
92	None			2
93	Tiago	"...your place among your fellows, your place in the world. I ain't got no use for such a place anymore."		160
94	None			95 96
95	You	"The right place for what?"		33
96	You	"What are you doing here?"		98
97	Rhetoric	Hold on, stop it right there. "Pussy"? What's with this?		26
98	Tiago	"I'm here to receive the Mother's love. You can, too, homes. And, when you're ready, she will take your hand and lift you out of the despair at the bottom of the bottle."		34
99	You	"I'm a police man. I need to talk to you about police things. I don't know anything about 'alcohol use.'"	CheckEquippedGroup("alcohol") == false	100
100	Tiago	"Oh yeah, sure." His eyes remain fixed on yours. "You don't know anything about alcohol use. You've got it *all under control*, wey. I can smell the control all the way over here."		111
101	Tiago	"Oh yeah, sure." His eyes remain fixed on yours. "You don't know anything about alcohol use. You've got it *all under control*, wey. I saw you hide that control behind your back."		111
102	You	"I'm a police man. I need to talk to you about police things. I don't know anything about 'alcohol use.'" (Hide the bottle behind your back.)	CheckEquippedGroup("alcohol")	101
103	None			69 65 67 137
104	Tiago	"I was like you once -- just dragging my feet to the next bottle... Shit was dark, homes."		113
105	Tiago	"I know it's hard to admit that you have a problem... I was like you once -- couldn't take an honest look at the damage *el vino* was doing to my mind and my spirit."		113
106	You	"This conversation is making me uncomfortable. Let's talk about something else."		105
107	You	"Okay, fine, I'm struggling. But you don't need to lecture me -- I know what I need to do."		108
108	Tiago	"Not all of it. I was like you once. You don't know all the havoc *el vino* is wreaking on your mind and your spirit. Necesitas parar, homie."		113
109	Tiago	"I know it's hard to admit that you've got a problem. I was like you once -- couldn't take an honest look into my own heart and see I was in pain."		113
110	You	"I'm doing just fine, thank you!"		109
111	None			110 107 138 106
112	Kim Kitsuragi	"You know, actually, since we're here -- you may want to pay attention to what the ceiling climber is saying."		117
113	None			114 115
114	None		IsKimHere()	112
115	None		(IsKimHere()) == false	116
116	Volition	You know, he may be strange, but you might want to pay attention to what he's saying.		120
117	Volition	If the lieutenant agrees, then maybe, just maybe -- you should pay attention?		120
118	Electrochemistry	Look at these crazies. What is this shit?		63
119	Reaction Speed	"Coffee in the back"? Something familiar about that. Coffee and stale cookies...		92
120	None			121 122
121	None		Variable["church.tiago_volition_pay_attention"]	62

123	You	"What was that about coffee? I feel like I've heard it somewhere before..."	Variable["church.tiago_reaction_coffee"]	124
124	Tiago	"Look, man. I'm at liberty to talk about the sacred blaze of the Mother's glorious heart. But not about the coffee."		125
125	None			2
126	Tiago	Is that... a man? Looks more like part of the carpentry of the building came alive and is now studying you intently.		127
127	None			128 129
128	None		Variable["tc.crab_man"]	130
129	None		(Variable["tc.crab_man"]) == false	132
130	Reaction Speed	The crab-man!		132
131	You	"Uhm... are you the crab-man?"	Variable["church.tiago_logic_crab_banger"]	25

136	Electrochemistry	Hey and what was that about *the bottle* again? You haven't even drank that much lately! Lay off it already. Sheesh.		66 99 102 73
137	You	"This conversation is making me uncomfortable. Let's talk about something else."		60
138	You	"You don't know me. You don't know what I've been through!"		104
139	You	"Who do you think you are? Some crazy guy under the roof? What is this shit?"		85
140	Drama	'Tis not an act, my liege -- saving, perchance, he hath deceived his very self. This man is a zealot.		2
141	Composure	Whatever it is, he's quite confident about it -- just look how gracefully he sways.		140
142	Rhetoric	You have no idea what the fuck he's talking about. Is he just trying to throw you off your game?		143
143	None			144 145
144	None		Variable["church.tiago_rhet_what"]	141
145	None		(Variable["church.tiago_rhet_what"]) == false	475
146	You	"Who's this Mother of Silence you keep talking about?"		147
147	Tiago	"Oh, that's no simple question, ese. She is one who can't be painted or sculpted..."		246
148	You	"To be fair, it's really more like a spider."		149
149	Tiago	He considers this for a moment. "I always thought of myself more like a *flame*. Flickering along the rafters and beams." He pauses. "It may be that I gotta work on my technique."		398
150	You	"Wait, did you also carve all those sculptures?" (Point at the nearest pillar.)	Variable["church.tiago_concept_tools"]	163
151	Logic	That's not the only technique he's working on. Look at those carved sculptures. And is that a satchel of tools over there?		506
152	Tiago	"I was in a gang, wey. But my memories of that time are fading... Most of them are already gone."		153
153	None			157 155 156 154
154	You	"So you used to be in a gang, but you don't really remember it? Sounds convenient."		158
155	You	"I lost my memory, too. And it haunts me."		161
156	You	"I lost my memory, too, but I like it. It's like I get to create a whole new me, start again from scratch."		162
157	You	(Shake your head.) "So many people losing their memory... A certain portent of *doom*..."		168
158	Tiago	"Convenience has got nothing to do with what goes on up there..." He gazes up at the ceiling.		159
159	Empathy	There's a profound longing in that gaze. Like he wants to be one with whatever is up there, shrouded in darkness.		165
160	None			430 177 432 175 429
161	Tiago	"No, man. You gotta let that shit go." He looks at you as if he wants to pat you on the back. "Then the Mother's light touch will fill you with rapture..."		165
162	Tiago	"That's not really the point, ese." He frowns. "You gotta give yourself over to service... Service of the Mother, that is..."		165
163	Tiago	"Sure am. Whittling wood used to be something I just did to busy my hands..."		164
164	Tiago	"...now I use those same hands in service of something greater than my own restlessness."		476
165	None			166 167
166	None		IsKimHere()	169
167	None		(IsKimHere()) == false	172
168	Tiago	"Naw, ese, it's not like that. Best thing that could happen to you -- losing your memory..."		165
169	Kim Kitsuragi	"Do you remember your name, sir?"		170
170	Authority	The lieutenant is not particularly interested in this information. He's just trying to assert some control over the conversation.		171
171	Tiago	"Tiago is my name. But those syllables don't mean much to me these days. A name isn't just your identity, but also, so to speak..."		93
172	Tiago	"Tiago's my name, by the way, though the syllables don't mean much to me. A name isn't just your identity, but also, so to speak..."		93
173	Tiago	"We are all one, who sing the Mother's glory."		181
174	Tiago	"That's not quite right, but you're getting somewhere." He smiles enigmatically. "Any one of us could have been anything else..."		173
175	You	"Maybe that's why I feel so lonely -- without a name, I have no place."	Variable["tc.name_full_harrier"] == false and Variable["tc.harry"] == false and IsTHCPresent("detective_costeau") == false and Variable["tc.raphael_ambrosius_costeau"] == false	176
176	Tiago	"Don't worry, man, you got a place -- right here." He sounds happy saying this, his limbs a mere shadow below the ceiling.		181
177	You	"My name sets me apart from my fellows. How often do you meet a Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau?"	IsTHCPresent("detective_costeau") or Variable["tc.raphael_ambrosius_costeau"] == true	178
178	Tiago	"Don't think I've met one yet, homes." He studies you silently for a moment.		271
179	Kim Kitsuragi	The lieutenant raises his eyebrows and coughs.		180
180	Composure	That was him suppressing a chuckle.		181
181	None			2
182	You	"Sorry, you just weren't moving like a human."		149
183	None			148 184 182 427
184	You	"If you're not a crab, then what are you?"		149
185	You	"Did you just climb down from the church tower?"	Variable["tc.crab_man"] == false or Variable["church.tiago_met_before_ravers"]	201
186	You	"Are you human? You weren't moving like a human."		187
187	Tiago	He chuckles. "I am, at least in part, homes... until the Mother's love burns away the crude distinctions of the body."		189
188	None			186 216 218
189	Reaction Speed	What does he mean 'in part'?		192
190	Tiago	"If you was to surrender to the Mother -- you know, get a taste of *saeraffic* existence -- you'd never wanna go back."		222
191	None			234 197 193
192	Physical Instrument	A body is only crude so long as it's unformed, son. That's where your training comes in.		194
193	You	I don't want to argue with him. He's kind of scary.		220
194	None			195 196
195	None		Variable["church.tiago_pi_burn"]	191
196	None		(Variable["church.tiago_pi_burn"]) == false	222
197	You	I don't know, I think he may be onto something.		200
198	You	"I think having a body is great! I don't want to burn away any of its distinctions!"	Variable["church.tiago_pi_burn"]	199
199	Tiago	"That's because you're soaked through and through with *al gul*, bro. Keeps you heavy and grounded. Then fools you into thinking that's a *good* thing."		190
200	Physical Instrument	What's next? A raw food diet? You're a disappointment.		236
201	Tiago	"Sure did, homes."		188
202	You	"You know, there are some speedfreaks around here who call you 'the crab-man'."	Variable["church.tiago_met_before_ravers"] and Variable["tc.crab_man"]	203
203	Tiago	"*Un Cangrejo*!" He laughs. "Never thought of myself as a crab. More like... a flame flickering among the rafters and beams..." He pauses. "It may be that I gotta work on my technique."		401
204	Logic	That's not the only technique he's working on. Look at those carved sculptures. And is that a satchel of tools over there?		208
205	You	"Wait, did you carve those sculptures?" (Point at the nearest pillar.)	Variable["church.tiago_concept_tools"]	206
206	Tiago	"Sure am. Whittling wood used to be something I just did to busy my hands..."		207
207	Tiago	"...now I use those same hands in service of something greater than my own restlessness."		481
208	None			205 244 394 209
209	You	"Just thought you should know."		210
210	Tiago	"It don't bother me none. Crab's no worse than a man, if you think about it."		215
211	None			413 212 213 214 412
212	You	(Rub your chin.) "You've got some nice... curves going there."		240
213	You	(Squint your eyes.) "These seem a tad... derivative."		240
214	You	"You're promoting the objectification of women with your reactionary depiction of female bodies."	IsTHCPresent("revacholian_nationhood") == false	240
215	None			2
216	You	"There must be something illegal about living in a church ceiling. I don't know what yet, but there must be."		217
217	Tiago	"Oh, man, I'd love to see that statute." He pauses to think. "I'm sure I'd be 'trespassing' if the church was in use -- but it's not, hombre."		221
218	You	"Okay, I have other questions."		219
219	None			51
220	Physical Instrument	What is this? Is this what you've been training for? So you could wuss out when push comes to shove?		236
221	Tiago	"I've done my share of illegal shit. Used to be in a gang, the whole deal. But even memories of that time are fading... Most of them are already gone."		223
222	None			198 391 225 230 231
223	None			153
224	You	"What's 'Mesque'?"		239
225	You	"You sound like you're not from around here."	IsTHCPresent("revacholian_nationhood") == false	229
226	Tiago	"Space? Jobs?" He laughs. "Do you see anyone taking swings at me for my place on the rafters?..."		238
227	You	"And it's great! Such diversity is a boon to the economy."	IsTHCPresent("ultraliberal")	237
228	You	"So you're another immigrant, come to take up space and steal jobs..."	IsTHCPresent("revacholian_nationhood")	226
229	Tiago	"Haven't you ever met a Mesque before, *cabron*? Surprising number of us around Revachol..."		227 228 224
230	You	"You talk funny."	IsTHCPresent("revacholian_nationhood")	229
231	You	"Well, at least, you're human. That's a relief."		232
232	Tiago	"Glad you're feeling more comfortable." He grins. "First-timers are always nervous."		233
233	None			188
234	You	Yeah! My *body* is my church!		235
235	Physical Instrument	Tell him, son! Show him you're not going to be bent out of shape by his *philosophies*.		236
236	None			222
237	Tiago	He laughs. "Not sure I'm contributing to the economy none, homes."		238
238	None			222
239	Tiago	"You know, I'm not so sure myself anymore." He thinks for a moment. "Don't really matter, though."		238
