Conversation 428: COAST ORB / reeds at lands end

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).

19	Trap: Land's End	Just dead and dying locusts, and the slow swaying of surrounding reeds.		16
20	You	Say nothing, just put the trap down.		12
21	Trap: Land's End	The locusts aren't doing all too well, but they're still in there. This isn't the *empty* trap. That must have been another one.		70

25	Trap: Land's End	All the traps are stocked now -- and still no sight of the phasmid. Return to Morell and let him know.		46
26	Kim Kitsuragi	He purses his lips. "Perhaps our cryptozoologists have competition in the form of an actual entomologist? Or someone else is sabotaging them? I could present more theories, but then I would be taking this on as a case -- which I'm *not*."		85 73 86 89

30	Trap: Land's End	Locusts are crawling around in the trap, confused but uneaten. You see no carnivorous *reed-phasmid* gorging on them.		179

38	Trap: Land's End	There's nothing else to do with the traps at this time. They're all just lying around, gathering dust and rainwater.		70
39	Trap: Land's End	Your voice echoes on the coast, carried by a gust of cold wind.		160
40	Trap: Land's End	You've checked all the traps now. There's nothing else to do with them. The cryptozoologists await your report.		70
41	None			130
42	Kim Kitsuragi	"Surely," he repeats and looks at the sea, then at you putting the trap back on the ground. "Anyway, the air is nice and fresh here..."		41
43	Shivers	A cold gust of air dries your sweaty face and you look to the dark shadow the Feld building in the distance, drawing you to it. What a strange sensation... Once this is done, should you ask the wind again?		45
44	You	"Let's keep going. The next one is the *lucky* one."		129
45	None			130
46	You	[Leave.]
47	You	"It'll be in the next one. *Surely*."		42
48	None			49 50

50	None		(IsKimHere()) == false	54
51	Kim Kitsuragi	The lieutenant stretches his back.		161
52	Kim Kitsuragi	"I'm beginning to feel... somewhat sorry for the little guys."		54
53	Empathy	Poor things...
54	None			79 76 77
55	None			74 61 47 20
56	None			57 58
57	None		IsKimHere()	59
58	None		(IsKimHere()) == false	31
59	Kim Kitsuragi	"Big surprise." The lieutenant grins mirthlessly. "Anyway -- one down, three to go."		55
60	Kim Kitsuragi	"I meant no offence, just..." The lieutenant doesn't know how to finish the sentence. He looks at you, putting the trap back on the ground.		41
61	You	"No need to grin. I'm not *expecting* to find anything. I'm helping some citizens and getting some fresh air."		60
62	Trap: Land's End	The locusts, dazed from being transported, slowly begin to acclimate to their new surroundings.		66
63	You	[Leave.]
64	You	Release the locusts into the empty trap.		62
65	None			64 63
66	Composure	They're not really going to get the chance to get comfortable here.		82
67	Kim Kitsuragi	"We did *sort of* promise to tell them, didn't we..." He seems to regret the fact.		27
68	You	"I do get the feeling that someone or something may have messed with the trap..."	Variable["coast.reeds_percept_untidy"]	26
69	Kim Kitsuragi	"Right." It does not look like he thinks you're right. "Anyway, that's for the cryptozoologists to figure out now." He adds, for clarity: "*We're* not cryptozoologists -- we're cops."		27
70	You	[Leave.]
71	Kim Kitsuragi	"Okay. But after that we get back to our own assignments. We've done a thorough survey of the coast now -- just running around is no longer useful."		27
72	Kim Kitsuragi	"No you weren't." He looks at the sea, then you -- laying the trap back down on the ground.		41
73	You	"Yeah, it probably *wasn't* the phasmid, but still. Morell needs to know."		67
74	You	"Damn, I was hoping it would be in the *first* one."		72
75	Trap: Land's End	Nothing has changed about this trap. You need to check the others.		70
76	You	Pause and just stand there.		78
77	You	[Leave.]
78	Trap: Land's End	The reeds whisper around the sepulchral trap, as though suddenly filled with fear.		90
79	You	"Maybe they will still attract something?"	IsKimHere()	80
80	Kim Kitsuragi	"Yes. Like a cat, or another teenage psychopath."		88
81	Kim Kitsuragi	"Good, good. We should be courteous and tell the cryptozoologists that one of their traps was empty, but then we can get back to *our* assignment here."		27
82	None			83 84
83	None		IsKimHere()	87
84	None		(IsKimHere()) == false	63
85	You	"But what if it *was* the phasmid? What if it ate them and got out?"		69
86	You	"You're right. But I still need to tell the cryptozoologists about this."		71
87	Kim Kitsuragi	"Good. Now that's done. When can we get to our impending apocalypse of a murder investigation?"		96
88	None			54
89	You	"You're right. This crypto-research has been stupid."		81
90	None			91 92
91	None		IsKimHere()	100
92	None		(IsKimHere()) == false	77
93	None			94 95
94	None		Variable["TASK.trap_landsend_done"]	75
95	None		(Variable["TASK.trap_landsend_done"]) == false	22
96	Kim Kitsuragi	He stops you. "Don't answer that. It was a rhetorical question."		103
97	Kim Kitsuragi	Neither does the lieutenant. He just raises his collar -- it's cold out, as always.		151
98	You	Look around.		178
99	None			44 166 139 138
100	Kim Kitsuragi	The lieutenant's gaze follows yours and lingers on the reeds, the sand, the water beyond. Then he turns back to you expectantly.		108
101	None			130
102	Trap: Land's End	The reeds continue to hiss around you as you put the empty trap back on the ground. Time to consult the professionals -- Morell and Lena.		116
103	Authority	He doesn't want to, but if there is one more cryptozoological run-around, he *must* force the investigation back on track. This better be it...		63
104	None			105 106
105	None		IsKimHere()	39
106	None		(IsKimHere()) == false	39
107	Trap: Land's End	Nothing but locusts in this trap as well. Definitely no cryptozoological monstrosity.		181
108	None			54
109	Trap: Land's End	The trap feels light -- and silent -- as you pick it up. Something is different here...		182
110	You	Look closer.		120
111	None			112 113
112	None		IsKimHere()	150
113	None		(IsKimHere()) == false	119
114	Trap: Land's End	It takes you a moment, but finally you spot the last of Morell's traps. This one's partially obscured by the reeds...		130
115	None			158 163 152 143
116	None			130
117	You	[Leave.]
118	Inland Empire	Man, it's lonely doing this alone. The wind seems to howl in a strange manner...		119
119	None			130
120	Trap: Land's End	No locusts!		145
121	None			68 85 73 86 89
122	None			123 124
123	None		IsKimHere()	157
124	None		(IsKimHere()) == false	156
125	Trap: Land's End	This trap's not too hard to spot -- once you know what to look for. Keeping it hidden has not been a priority for the cryptozoologist.		130
126	None			127 128
127	None		Variable["coast.reeds_checked_counter"] == 3	109
128	None		(Variable["coast.reeds_checked_counter"] == 3) == false	147
129	Kim Kitsuragi	"Yup. The next one has a *crab* trapped in it." He raises his collar -- it's windy. "These are just crab traps, you do realize?"		151
130	None			98 131 117
131	You	Reach for the trap.	Variable["TASK.report_to_cryptozoologists_1"] == false and Variable["TASK.trap_landsend_done"] == false	126
132	Trap: Land's End	A familiar apparatus lies among the reeds -- another one of Morell's traps, weighed down by stones to keep it in place.		130
133	Kim Kitsuragi	"Of course. Noted." He looks at you, incredulously, as you place the trap back in the reeds.		161
134	None			135 136
135	None		Variable["coast.reeds_checked_counter"] == 2	125
136	None		(Variable["coast.reeds_checked_counter"] == 2) == false	171
137	Kim Kitsuragi	"Of course. Noted." He looks at you, incredulously, as you place the trap back in the reeds.		151
138	You	Say nothing, just put the trap down.		97
139	You	"I want to make it clear that I don't *actually* believe the phasmid exists, okay?"		137
140	None			141 142
141	None		IsKimHere()	121
142	None		(IsKimHere()) == false	102
143	You	Say nothing, just put the trap down.		51
144	None			159 160
145	Logic	No phasmid either -- but still...		144
146	Perception (Sight)	The netting is a little untidy, messier than the others. Like someone or something picked up the trap and shook it before dropping it back down on the ground.		140
147	None			148 149
148	None		Variable["coast.reeds_checked_counter"] == 2	107
149	None		(Variable["coast.reeds_checked_counter"] == 2) == false	153
150	Kim Kitsuragi	"Empty as all of them..." he pants. "*One* more of these and we're done..." His face is red from the cold sea air. He crouches to catch his breath.		115
151	None			130
152	You	"I *must* stress that I did not expect a cryptozoological monstrosity to be in this trap."		133
153	None			154 155
154	None		Variable["coast.reeds_checked_counter"] == 1	175
155	None		(Variable["coast.reeds_checked_counter"] == 1) == false	30
156	Trap: Boathouses	Nothing. No traces of the locusts *or* the Insulindian phasmid. What happened?		146
157	Kim Kitsuragi	The lieutenant studies the trap with you. "Well, the bait worked on *something*. This doesn't mean it was a reed-monster, though. Unless you see one in there? I just see an empty trap..."		146
158	You	"Bummer it wasn't in here..."		164
159	You	(Immediately yell.) "It's empty!"		104
160	You	Look closer still.		122
161	None			130
162	Kim Kitsuragi	"Always up for a good jog -- otherwise, would I still be *on* this case with *you*?" He smiles and raises his collar. It's windy.		151
163	You	"You getting tired?"		165
164	Kim Kitsuragi	"I'm just..." he breathes out. "Glad we haven't found some poor cat trapped in one of these."		161
165	Kim Kitsuragi	"No-no. I'm fine. I didn't mean to complain, it's just..." He's short-winded. The sentence ends there.		161
166	You	"How are you enjoying the cardio, lieutenant? I'm quite enjoying it myself."		162
167	Kim Kitsuragi	"Another empty trap," the lieutenant takes a note -- more out of habit than duty.		99
168	None			169 170
169	None		IsKimHere()	167

173	None		(Variable["coast.reeds_checked_counter"] == 1) == false	174
174	Trap: Land's End	There's a trap in the reeds at your feet. Looks like the same one you saw Morell set before -- same mesh, same wiring.		130
175	Trap: Land's End	This trap is also full of panicked locusts. No sign of any cryptozoological beast inside.		180
176	Trap: Land's End	The reeds dance slowly around the empty trap. The trap's netting trembles. No insect sounds or movement anywhere.		65
177	Shivers	The wind picks up here, near the cape's end, surrounding the narrow strip of land from three cardinal directions. It's cold for this time of year.		101
178	Trap: Land's End	The reeds sway in the coastal breeze. They seem to be waiting for something.		177
