6	You	"Got it. Are we ready?"		8
7	Kim Kitsuragi	"It's done. I believe we're ready." The lieutenant wipes his brow.		8
8	Noid	"Yeah, as ready as we're going to be." He cracks his neck before putting on a pair of headphones. "Grab one of these can sets. I've got it rigged so that we can both listen, but only your cop-talk will broadcast..."		9
9	Noid	"No idea what we're gonna hear when I turn this thing on, so be prepared for *anything*. Trick is to keep transmitting your request until the Big Bad acknowledges you. You got that?"		10 11 12
10	You	"Wait, what if they *never* acknowledge me?"		13
11	You	"Yes."		14
12	You	"Hold on, I need a minute."		15
13	Noid	"Honestly, that might be for the best. Like I said, the sines coming off this whole project are seriously uncharted..."		16
14	Noid	"Good. We're live in two... one..."		17
15	Noid	"No time. We're live in two... one..."		17
16	Noid	"Don't know how much juice we've got, so we better get to it. You ready?"		11 12

21	Shivers	A soft rustling. The snow seems to have gotten between your ears somehow...		23
22	Shivers	A soft rustling. Between your ears, a winterscape with fast falling snow...		23

26	You	Where's the sound coming from?		29
27	You	Ignore it.		28
28	Noid	"That's your cue, lawman."		31
29	Shivers	Every lightswitch, every motor carriage, every doorbell, tea kettle, and radio in Martinaise, all mingled with electrical interference caused by scattered thunderstorms over Ozonne.		30
30	Noid	"Hey, lawman. We're waiting on you."		31
31	None			36 32 33 34 35

36	You	"What should I say?"		38
37	Horseback Antenna	...		40
38	Noid	"That's up to you. I don't know your *callsign*."		39
39	None			31
40	Inland Empire	You're all alone out there, wandering a blasted heath, calling out to the night, but there is no reply, except for the buzzing of invisible machines...		41

46	Noid		(IsKimHere()) == false	49
47	Inland Empire	I-i-is there anybody th-th-there?		44
48	Kim Kitsuragi	The lieutenant looks up at you with a nervous glance.		51
49	Noid	"Give it another go."		50
50	You	"Coalition Warship Archer, this is Firewalker. Please acknowledge."		66
51	Esprit de Corps	He is nervous for your sake, of course, but also his own.		52
52	Noid			53 54
53	Noid		Variable["jam.warship_esprit_kim_nervous"]	55
54	Noid		(Variable["jam.warship_esprit_kim_nervous"]) == false	56
55	Esprit de Corps	Looking at him now, with both hands on his headphones, you see very briefly what the lieutenant must have been like when he first joined the RCM...		57
56	Esprit de Corps	Nervous for who, though, you cannot say.		49
57	Noid			58 59

62	Noid		(Variable["reputation.kim"] > 5) == false	64
63	Esprit de Corps	Then he turns to you. He gives you a half smile along with an almost imperceptible nod of encouragement.		49
64	Esprit de Corps	Then he turns to you. His expression seems to say, 'You'd better not leave this mess for me alone'.		49
65	Esprit de Corps	Then he turns to you. He shakes his head slightly and looks back at the amplifier.		49
66	Horseback Antenna	...		67
67	Perception (Hearing)	Perhaps you're simply imagining it, but it seems as though you're learning to pull apart the fibres of this auditory felt. You focus on one strand in particular, one that sounds very nearly human...		68

70	Noid		(Variable["jam.warship_perc_sound_human"]) == false	72
71	Horseback Antenna	"Nein, Liebling! Das lasse ich nicht zu … Wie kannst du unseren Jungen bloß auf einem dieser *Dinger* nach Vredefort schicken?"		73
72	Horseback Antenna	"Nein, Liebling! ... unseren Jungen... nach Vredefort ... einem dieser *Dinger*..."		73
73	You	"Hello... Archer? Do you acknowledge?"		74
74	Horseback Antenna	"Marianne ... mir erzählt, dass Oskar nicht mehr ... seit er auf einem Luftschiff aus Graad zurückgekommen ... halten ihn die Psychologen für vollkommen normal ... aber sie hat das Gefühl ... seit seiner Rückkehr ... einem Fremden zusammenzuleben..."		75
75	Rhetoric	Something about her son going to Vredefort on an aerostatic... to see some psychologists? Or maybe the psychologists are saying it's normal... to have feelings for strangers? Foreign languages were never your strong suit.		76
76	Noid			77 78

82	Noid		IsKimHere()	84
83	Noid		(IsKimHere()) == false	85
84	Shivers	A slight frisson at the point where your neck meets your spine. Something about the lieutenant's words, directed at you, but not *you*...		86 87 88
85	Shivers	A slight frisson at the point where your neck meets your spine. You can *feel* the lieutenant's presence, even though he's nowhere to be found...		110
86	You	"Kim, don't clog my connection."		89
87	You	"What are you talking about, Kim? It's perfectly nice out."	Variable["auto.is_snowing"] == false and Variable["auto.is_raining"] == false	89
88	You	"It's really coming down, now that you mention it."	Variable["auto.is_raining"] == true or Variable["auto.is_snowing"] == true	90
89	Kim Kitsuragi	"I didn't say anything, detective."		92
90	Kim Kitsuragi	"Mention what?"		91
91	You	"It's cold, like you just said."		89
92	Kim Kitsuragi	"...someone has been maintaining it. The wiring has been repaired..."		93
93	Horseback Antenna	An uncomfortable silence falls over the connection.		94
94	Kim Kitsuragi	"... It's been a long winter... Long and cold..."		95 96
95	You	"Are you going to tell me you didn't say *that*, either?"		97
96	You	"Maybe it's your twin brother?"		98
97	Kim Kitsuragi	"I promise you, I didn't, even though it certainly *sounds* like me..." The lieutenant seems to wince at the sound of his own voice.		99
98	Kim Kitsuragi	"I can assure you, it's not my 'twin brother'. Though it certainly does *sound* like me..." The lieutenant seems to wince at the sound of his own voice.		99

101	Noid		(Variable["church.soona_told_her_about_radio_ghost_intercom"]) == false	103
102	You	"It must be entroponetic crosstalk. It's the only explanation."		104
103	You	"What is happening?"		105
104	Noid	"So your partner's haunting himself. Trying to warn him off his current path, most like."		106
105	Noid	"Sounds like your partner's being haunted by his past self. Or maybe he's trying to warn himself, from the future, most like. I don't know much about radios."		107
106	Kim Kitsuragi	"It's eerie, for certain, but also harmless. I just wish I could remember what I was talking about..."		1514
107	Kim Kitsuragi	"It's just a little bit of pale interference, detective. A little *eerie*, perhaps, but perfectly explicable..."		108
108	Composure	Outwardly, the lieutenant exudes reassurance, but you can sense a lingering doubt in his voice.		1520
109	None			124
110	You	"Kim? How did you get on my connection?"		111
111	Noid	"Whoa, the cop's *own partner* is a radio-spooker. That's some *other core* business right there..."		112
112	Horseback Antenna	...		113
113	Kim Kitsuragi	"...someone has been maintaining it. The wiring has been repaired..."		1143 114
114	You	"What is he talking about?"		115
115	Noid	"There's no sense to it. It's just spooker-talk."		116

118	Noid		(Variable["church.soona_told_her_about_radio_ghost_intercom"]) == false	1145
119	You	"I've encountered this before. It's entroponetic crosstalk. This is a piece of the past mixing in with our signal."		121
120	You	"Does that mean Kim's... *a ghost*?"		125
121	Noid	"What..."		122
122	Kim Kitsuragi	"It's been a long winter... Long and cold."		123
123	Noid	"What have you gotten us into, lawman?"		1149
124	Horseback Antenna	"Natürlich halten ihn die Psychologen für vollkommen normal..."		133
125	Kim Kitsuragi	"It's been a long winter... Long and cold."		126
126	Noid	"No telling, lawman. You ever confirmed that he's, you know, *flesh and blood*?"		127 128 129
127	You	"Yeah, we've gone for an Ace's High before."	IsTHCPresent("aces_high") or IsTHCPresent("aces_low")	130
128	You	"I guess Kim's always had an *ethereal* quality to him."		131
129	You	"I'm going to continue believing that Kim's just hanging out on our connection."		132
130	Noid	"Sounds like some dark cop rituals. Don't think I want to hear any more..."		124
131	Noid	"Could be he's your guardian spirit, your cop daemon..."		124
132	Noid	"Yeah, shut your ears to the truth. That's the safest way forward..."		124
133	None			134 135 136
134	You	"Roy said this transceiver came with some kind of *signal purifier*. Maybe we should turn that on?"	Variable["ice.noid_used_expensive_transceiver"] == true	137
135	You	"Maybe we should try again later?"		138
136	You	"So what can we do about it?"		139
137	Noid	"Is that what this switch does? I'll flip it now."		140
138	Noid	"No can do. This is it. The only way forward is the hard core way, straight through. Now give it another go."		142
139	Noid	"You just have to embrace the spookiness. Now give it another go."		142
140	Kim Kitsuragi	"... someone has been maintaining it..." The lieutenant's voice suddenly grows faint and distant, as though he were speaking from a passing motor carriage...		141
141	Noid	"Sounds like the de-spooker worked. Lucky break. Now give it another go."		144
142	You	(Sigh.) "Coalition Warship Archer. Do you acknowledge? This is Firewalker."		143
143	Kim Kitsuragi	"But someone has been maintaining it. The wiring has been repaired..."		145
144	You	"Coalition Warship Archer. Do you acknowledge? This is Firewalker."		146
145	Horseback Antenna	...		148
146	Horseback Antenna	...		147
147	Horseback Antenna	"... Warship Archer. Are you there, Firewalker? Please acknowledge."		150
148	Horseback Antenna	"... Walker? Please acknowledge."		149
149	You	"Archer! This is Firewalker. Can you hear me?"		151
150	You	"Archer! This is Firewalker. Can you hear me?"		152
151	Horseback Antenna	"Liebling, bitte… Er ist unser einziges Kind..."		153
152	Horseback Antenna	...		156
153	Horseback Antenna	"... Warship Archer. Please identify."		154
154	Interfacing	The signals are getting increasingly mixed. Plucking Archer's signal from this will be like isolating a single strand from a tangle of hair...		155
155	Noid	"This isn't looking good." The speedfreak removes his sweat-drenched headphones. "The radio-spookers are winning."		157
156	Noid	"Bad news." The speedfreak removes his sweat-drenched headphones. "Even with the de-spooker flipped, the signal is still too weak to get down with..."		157
157	None			158 1638 1651 1652 1646 159
158	You	"What can we do?"		160
159	You	"Okay, let's do this." (Climb the monument.)	Variable["jam.warship_need_to_climb"] == true	1524
160	Noid	"Don't know. If we can't get around the interference, we're in deep trouble. Hold on, I think Egg gave me some kind of checklist..."		161
161	Noid	"Hmmm. Says here, 'MAIN STEP: VOLUME TO THE MAX'... That's not too helpful. Okay, it also says: 'INSPECT CONNECTIONS FOR HARD CORE CLARITY,' so let's try that..."		162

169	Horseback Antenna	You don't exactly cut a lithesome figure, but after several moments of scrambling you manage to hoist yourself atop the monument.		1047
170	Horseback Antenna	Your gloves give you a solid grip on the metal bar. This feels pleasingly familiar...		1745
171	Horseback Antenna	The metal bar is cold and slick with precipitation. For a moment it feels as though you're about to slip, but you concentrate all your attention on your pectoral muscles and squeeze...		1527
172	Horseback Antenna	The cold metal chills your bare hands. Some part of your brain tells you something is missing...		174
173	Physical Instrument	Keep it together, champ! You've got this...		178
174	Hand/Eye Coordination	Chalk powder. Absorbs moisture and keeps your grip firm.		175

177	Noid		(Variable["jam.warship_physint_chalk"]) == false	179
178	Horseback Antenna	... and before you know it, you're safely perched atop the monument.		180
179	Horseback Antenna	... but before you can decide what, you find yourself safely perched atop the monument.		180
180	None			181 182 183
181	You	"Did you *see* that bar work?"	Variable["jam.warship_phys_inst_bar"] == true	184
182	You	"That was pretty bad. I hope nobody saw it."	Variable["jam.warship_phys_inst_bar"] == false	184

187	Noid	"This cop's got serious crab-like properties. Must be some kind of *law-crab*."		1046
188	Horseback Antenna	The connection itself is nothing more than a little braid of exposed wire wrapped about the hoof of the horse, a copper fetter it cannot slip...		189
189	Perception (Sight)	The whole monument is covered in a thin but durable layer of oil and grime. It's obvious no one has cleaned it in years.		1529
190	None			192 191
191	You	"What good is that supposed to do?"		193
192	You	"What are we supposed to use to bend the antenna?"		194
193	Noid	"Hmmm. Good question. Maybe he's saying we're casting too wide a net, got to *narrow our receiving band*, so we pick up the Big Bad without the spookers."		195
194	Noid	"It says here 'MUSCLE-STYLE'."		195

199	None			190
200	Empathy	The speedfreak is right. The responsibility is yours and yours alone. There's no turning back now.		201
201	None			1592 202 1581 1564 203
202	You	Look at the horse.		1042
203	You	Attempt to narrow the receiving mode manually.		207
204	Horseback Antenna	This faithful steed is in nearly as poor a condition as its rider.		205

210	Interfacing	Your grip is firm, yet controlled. The swelling in your headset guides your hands as much as your hands guide the bronze horse head. It's almost like you're hearing *through* the horse itself...		212
211	Interfacing	You allow the broken hunk of metal to clatter to the ground. It wasn't clear to you it did anything anyway...		236
212	Noid	"Looks like it's working. Keep going, just a bit more..."		213
213	Horseback Antenna	"... Nein, Liebling!"		214
214	Interfacing	The signal is clear, the storm has passed. This is another voice, a live voice, on the other end of this invisible bridge you've established...		216

216	Noid	"Try it now."		217
217	You	"Coalition Warship Archer. This is RCM Officer Firewalker. Please acknowledge."		218

219	Coalition Warship Archer	"Firewalker, this is Coalition Warship Archer. We are acknowledging and accepting you."		220
220	Noid	"There it is, the Big Bad. Now be quick. I'll keep us aligned as long as I can."		222
221	Coalition Warship Archer	"Please be advised that you are speaking on the public frequency. What is your request?"		232
222	Authority	This is it... you're finally getting to speak with those who hold *real* power.		223

230	Empathy	There is so much you wish you could ask. Your efforts have bought you some time, but you can't forget what you're *really* here for...		221
231	Empathy	There is so much you wish you could ask, but you probably only have time for one or two questions before the signal is lost...		221

236	Horseback Antenna	"Nein, Liebling!"		237
237	Noid	"Huh. Sounds like that was a false move. Signal's even worse now."		242 243 244
238	Noid	"Probably because you broke it."		1624
239	Noid	"The thing is, trying's not enough. Now it's the results that count."		1624
240	Noid	"Look, I'm not a blame-layer. I'm just saying, things were bad, and now they're worse."		1624
241	Noid	"I'm going to turn all the dials to maximum. Probably gonna burn out our power supply, but that might be the only way..."		245
242	You	"That piece of junk didn't even work!"		238
243	You	"I'm sorry! I was trying to do good."		239
244	You	"It's not *my* fault the statue broke."		240
245	Horseback Antenna	A maelstrom of sound, swirling and swirling around an invisible point. It's mounting, mounting...		250
246	Pain Threshold	It's too much! Your ear drums are throbbing, about to burst!		254

268	You	"Are you the captain?"		270
269	You	"Sure, but who are *you*? I need to know your name."		271
270	Coalition Warship Archer	"No, the captain of the Archer is deeply classified intelligence. We are the second signaller."		269
271	Coalition Warship Archer	"Our name is not important. All you need to know is that we hold the position of second signaller aboard the Archer."		272

276	Inland Empire	You really don't have the faintest guess what her name could be. You were never very good at this sort of thing...		277
277	Rhetoric	There's something in the way she refers to herself, always with the first-person plural. A deliberate blurring of the boundary between herself and the institution she represents...		278

285	You	"What's it like, being a second signaller?"		323
286	Coalition Warship Archer	"Because it's standard practice for signallers to use the *pluralis officialis* during the course of our duties. It's meant to serve as a reminder that we don't speak only for ourselves."		287
287	Coalition Warship Archer	"For instance, as second signaller we represent Coalition Warship Archer, which in turn represents INSURCOM and the Coalition more generally, which in turn represents the Moralist International, which itself represents the interests of 1.2 billion people across the world."		288
288	Inland Empire	Meaning she's the voice of all those living souls!		289 291 290

290	You	"That sounds like an awesome responsibility."		304
291	You	"Sounds like kind of a hard job."		305
292	Coalition Warship Archer	"No, of course not. There are many nations outside the Moralintern's umbrella, in Seol, Samara, and elsewhere. At most you might say the Moralintern represents between a quarter and a third of humanity."		1458
293	Coalition Warship Archer	"Perhaps you could say that we represent the interests and hopes of a great many people, but you could say just as easily that we are the assistant to the secretary of a factotum, no more remarkable than the lowest cashier of a common Frittte..."		294
294	Coalition Warship Archer	"It all depends on your perspective."		295 296 297

299	Coalition Warship Archer	"Why, the Archer itself..."		301
300	Coalition Warship Archer	"If by 'fun stuff,' you mean alcohol and cigarettes, that's true. Actually, we don't even have Fritttes where we're from. In Messina they're called Averros..."		302
301	Coalition Warship Archer	"But now we've wandered quite far afield. What was your request?"		1282
302	Encyclopedia	Averro, SRL, is a chain of high-end pharmacies found only in Vesper and Messina. They are *much* nicer than your average Frittte.		301
303	None			232
304	Coalition Warship Archer	"It's an important responsibility, but we don't consider it any greater than those borne by countless people all across the world..."		306
305	Coalition Warship Archer	"It may be a *demanding* job, but the Coalition is committed to ensuring those in its service maintain a healthy work-life balance..."		306
306	Coalition Warship Archer	"Now... your request?"		1286

312	You	"You're 100% an Eliška."		316
313	Coalition Warship Archer	She laughs. "Do we sound like we're from Sur-la-Clef to you?"		1714
314	Coalition Warship Archer	A moment of stunned silence. "How did you know that?"		317 318
315	Coalition Warship Archer	"We don't believe there is anyone younger than 70 named Eleanora..."		319

319	Coalition Warship Archer	"Now, please dispense with the games, Firewalker. This is a public frequency..."		1287
320	Coalition Warship Archer	"I... We don't appreciate whatever game you're playing, Firewalker. Now, what is your request?"		321
321	Reaction Speed	Did you catch that? A crack in her otherwise solid edifice.		322
322	Suggestion	Is it possible to *hear* someone blush? Because you're sure that's what she's doing...		1287
323	Coalition Warship Archer	"It's a great honour and responsibility. In addition to monitoring public frequencies, we are tasked with maintaining some of the most sensitive communications equipment aboard the Archer."		324
324	None			326 325 327
325	You	"How's the work-life balance?"		329
326	You	"How are the benefits?"		328
327	You	"Do you believe in the mission?"		330
328	Coalition Warship Archer	"Quite good. We enjoy all the standard benefits for Moralintern forces on active duty assignments: Excellent healthcare, foreign service pay, a fully funded pension system..."		1460
329	Coalition Warship Archer	"Oh, it's fine..."		332
330	Coalition Warship Archer	"Yes, of course. There is no higher calling than serving humanity."		1288
331	Coalition Warship Archer	"... six-weeks paid leave, bilingual childcare, vocational certification credits. Really, it's quite a good career."		333

342	None			324
343	Coalition Warship Archer	"Oh, yes, we could always use more time off." She laughs politely, but doesn't elaborate.		342
344	Coalition Warship Archer	"... of course, serving on a Coalition warship does require some *personal* sacrifices, but we have to be willing to make them, if we believe in the mission..."		345 346
345	You	"What kind of sacrifices?"		347
346	You	"As long as you believe in the mission, it's all worth it."		348
347	Coalition Warship Archer	"Nothing remarkable. Really, we have been very fortunate. But we do sometimes wonder what we might be missing out on, back in Messina..."		349
348	Coalition Warship Archer	"Yes, of course. There is no higher calling than serving humanity."		1289
349	Coalition Warship Archer	"But now we have gotten quite far afield. What was your request?"		1289
350	Coalition Warship Archer	"Hmmm, that's difficult to say. We have a very particular view from our observation platform up here."		351 352
351	You	"Particular how?"		353
352	You	"What can you see?"		1666
353	Coalition Warship Archer	"Perhaps the best way to describe it is to say we have a *very wide perspective*, but not an especially detailed one."		352
354	Coalition Warship Archer	"Oh, it looks quite lovely from here. From our porthole, we see rolling hillsides, a public park filled with grand oak trees, men and women going about on horses..."		1713

359	Coalition Warship Archer	"Ah, that must be. We have only recently been detailed to the Archer, so we are still learning the names of all the many districts..."		362
360	Coalition Warship Archer	"We cannot say for certain. East, it must be? We have only recently been detailed to the Archer, so we are still learning the names of all the many districts..."		362
361	Coalition Warship Archer	"Perhaps you are in a different part of the city? We have only recently been detailed to the Archer, so we are still learning the names of all the many districts..."		362
362	Savoir Faire	She needs to see *you*, down here. That's the only way she'll really *get* what you're about.		363

367	You	"I thought it was to the south?"		371
368	You	"Nope, it's to the north. Definitely north."		372
369	Coalition Warship Archer	"Stand by a moment... we are adjusting our viewfinder..."		373
370	Coalition Warship Archer	"Hold on. We're adjusting our viewfinder..."		374
371	Coalition Warship Archer	"To the south. Let us see..."		375
372	Coalition Warship Archer	"But to the north is all water..."		376 377 378
373	Coalition Warship Archer	"Yes, we are looking at the river now. There are small islands in the middle of it. It's very nice, actually..."		379
374	Coalition Warship Archer	"Ah, we are looking at a great river now. This must be the Esperance. It's very nice, actually..."		379
375	Coalition Warship Archer	"No, that cannot be right. That way is only sprawl. We were under the impression that Martinaise was nearer to the Bay..."		381
376	You	"That's right. Martinaise is a highly experimental *sub-aquatic* district."		380
377	You	"You're right. I just got turned around. It's probably to the south."		382
378	You	"Hmmm. Maybe it *is* to the west, then?"		383
379	Coalition Warship Archer	"Interesting. The west of the city looks *very* different from the east. There's a large motorway dividing it nearly in half. This must be the 8/81, no?"		388 387 386
380	Coalition Warship Archer	"Ah, we see. You are playing a practical joke. Very funny..."		384

389	Coalition Warship Archer	"Very well. Now we are looking at an area that seems to be in urgent need of *revitalisation*..."		393
390	Coalition Warship Archer	"It appears to go on for quite a while. There's a heavily industrialised district that seems to abut Monte-Martin..."		392
391	Coalition Warship Archer	"Really? It seems quite important. It may be the largest road in the city..."		392
392	Coalition Warship Archer	"But now we seem to be quite turned about. We'll have to consult a map in the future. Now, was there something else?"		1291
393	Encyclopedia	She must be describing the Eminent Domain, the district under the shadow of the 8/81. It's heavily *working class*, with no municipal infrastructure to speak of. To your knowledge, no such revitalisation is forthcoming.		394
394	Coalition Warship Archer	"Now we see the lake, and around that a rather vibrant-looking city quarter. There are some large buildings, from the turn-of-the-century, we would guess. Yes, this must be the heart of the district."		395
395	You	"That's Jamrock. Now look to the north, toward the harbour."		396
396	Coalition Warship Archer	"Mhmmm... ah. So *that* is Martinaise..."		397

399	You	"What do you see?"		401
400	Coalition Warship Archer	"It is quite striking, compared to where we're from. There are a great many destroyed buildings, *still*. And we don't see any horses... It's really *nothing* like the eastern side of the city..."		402
401	Coalition Warship Archer	"Ah, well, we see the many, hmmm, *historic* buildings, of course, and the snow gathering along the rim of the bay..."		403
402	Savoir Faire	You're reminded of something people used to say, that Revachol West is poor, but *sexy poor*.		404
403	Shivers	... the old and irregular streets, like a grid drawn by a palsied hand. The open fires burning in oil drums, visible through blasted roofs...		405

410	Coalition Warship Archer	"We really couldn't say. That's one of the limits of this vantage. But the whole district does have a very *desperate* character."		413
411	Coalition Warship Archer	"There are people who say that, but we've never felt that way. To us they look like miniature figures, the kind you see in model train sets. But this... this is a *very sad* train set."		413
412	Coalition Warship Archer	"Perhaps? We do not generally reach for such *evocative imagery*, but there is something rather desperate about them."		413
413	Coalition Warship Archer	"And then there's all the *tare* lying about. It's very unpleasant to look at. We're going to widen our viewfinder a bit."		414 415 416

718	Esprit de Corps	Beneath that surface query, a touch of self-doubt. The lieutenant isn't sure he can solve the murder *without* you.		721
719	Esprit de Corps	The lieutenant is genuinely concerned. This is not a situation he ever thought he'd find himself in.		721
720	Esprit de Corps	Though you haven't exactly been a credit to the investigation so far, the lieutenant doesn't want to be left in the cold, either.		721

736	Kim Kitsuragi	"Because that's what it means to be an officer of the RCM!"		739
737	Kim Kitsuragi	"I don't know your history, detective, but I can say with great certainty that whatever you're running from won't disappear simply because you've abandoned your former life..."		1121

767	You	"You've got it backwards, Kim. Maybe it's only at a distance that you see things *as they really are*."		772

1158	Encyclopedia	Originally developed by mechanical engineers at the Isherwood Branch of CZU Industries around the turn of the last century, contingency spreads are used to model complex events in a number of fields, including business, public health, radiocomputer science, insurance, and international diplomacy.		1159

1169	Coalition Warship Archer	"The point is that we know only that the water will run down, but not what course it will take. If we place a rock in the water's path, will it divert to the left or the right? We cannot say, but we may predict which way it might run in either event..."		1170
1170	Coalition Warship Archer	"That is the essence of the idea. You might also imagine these spreads as a kind of tree, with every juncture representing a different event, and every branch representing a different timeline."		1164
1171	You	"You're saying the Moralintern uses contingency spreads to see the future?"	Variable["jam.warship_contingencies_explained"] == true	1172
1172	Coalition Warship Archer	"Not exactly. No one can know the future. But with contingency spreads it is possible to predict what the future realities *might reasonably* look like."		1175
1173	Coalition Warship Archer	"But we shouldn't overstate their importance. They are simply one of many tools used by the Moralintern to set policy."		1180
1174	You	"Hold on, does that mean some realities are *less reasonable* than others?"	Variable["jam.warship_logic_probable"] == true	1176
1175	Logic	Meaning there are more and less reasonable futures. You should follow up on that.		1173
1176	Coalition Warship Archer	"Well, yes -- just as some events are less probable than others. While we expect the vast majority of realities will fall within a normal confidence interval, there must necessarily be some that fall *outside that range* as well."		1177 1178 1271
1177	You	"This is... a lot to take in."		1272
1178	You	"Would you say the reality we're living in is more or less reasonable than others?"		1179
1179	Coalition Warship Archer	"Who are we to say? We're only a second signaller, not a metaphysician. This is the only reality we have ever known, so how can we judge how reasonable it might be compared to any other?"		1274

1183	Coalition Warship Archer	"That's impossible to say. It may be that Revachol has a great role to play, or no role at all. That is the nature of contingencies."		1194
1184	Coalition Warship Archer	"You must understand, when we speak of contingency spreads, we are talking about *the most fantastically complex* data visualisations human beings are capable of producing, with thousands of events -- from elections and wars to natural disasters or scientific miracles -- and millions of possible outcomes."		1186

1188	Inland Empire	But... didn't the Wild Pines representative say that Revachol would *resolve* history?		1184
1189	Coalition Warship Archer	"Almost certainly. Not many realise this, but, the Moralintern is constantly reviewing and revising its contingency spreads in order to improve our own decision-making..."		1206
1190	Coalition Warship Archer	"It may be the case that, under certain scenarios, Revachol is vitally important, as it was during the Coalition landings in '08. It may also be the case in many other equally plausible scenarios that Revachol is simply another once-great city, like countless others throughout history."		1192

1221	Coalition Warship Archer	"Esattamente. But the Commission's hard and diligent work may soon be bearing fruit: Revachol is nearly ready to begin the first phase of democratisation."		1216

1231	Coalition Warship Archer	"Soon, the people of Revachol will vote for slates of candidates who will make up the transitional advisory council that will oversee the second phase of democratisation."		1246
