5	You	Look around.		6
6	Trap: Boathouses	Behind you, the ruins of a residential building rise over the reeds, shielding them from the wind. The reeds rustle confidentially.		13
7	Kim Kitsuragi	"Big surprise." The lieutenant grins mirthlessly. "Anyway -- one down, three to go."		11

13	Shivers	When this district was booming, the reeds were kept at bay. Nothing obscured the freshly painted façades, nowhere for drunks and adventurous teenagers to hide. Now only the wind blows...		12
14	You	"Damn, I was hoping it would be in the *first* one."		18
15	You	"No need to grin. I'm not *expecting* to find anything. I'm helping some citizens and getting some fresh air."		19
16	You	"It'll be in the next one. *Surely*."		20
17	You	Say nothing, just put the trap down.		21
18	Kim Kitsuragi	"No you weren't." He looks at the sea, then you -- laying the trap back down on the ground.		22
19	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.		22
20	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..."		22
21	Trap: Boathouses	You set the apparatus back on the ground, among the reeds.		22

34	Trap: Boathouses	There's a trap in the reeds at your feet. Looks like the same one you saw Morell set before -- same mesh, same wiring.		3
35	Trap: Boathouses	A familiar apparatus lies among the reeds -- another one of Morell's traps, weighed down by stones to keep it in place.		3
36	Trap: Boathouses	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.		3
37	Trap: Boathouses	It takes you a moment, but finally you spot the last of Morell's traps. This one's partially obscured by the reeds...		3

51	Trap: Boathouses	The trap feels light -- and silent -- as you pick it up. Something is different here...		182
52	Trap: Boathouses	Locusts are crawling around in the trap, confused but uneaten. You see no carnivorous *reed-phasmid* gorging on them.		179
53	Trap: Boathouses	This trap is also full of panicked locusts. No sign of any cryptozoological beast inside.		180
54	Trap: Boathouses	Nothing but locusts in this trap as well. Definitely no cryptozoological monstrosity.		181
55	Trap: Boathouses	No locusts!		103
56	You	Look closer.		55

59	None		(IsKimHere()) == false	71
60	Kim Kitsuragi	"Another empty trap," the lieutenant takes a note -- more out of habit than duty.		69
61	You	"Let's keep going. The next one is the *lucky* one."		65
62	You	"How are you enjoying the cardio, lieutenant? I'm quite enjoying it myself."		66
63	You	"I want to make it clear that I don't *actually* believe the phasmid exists, okay?"		67
64	You	Say nothing, just put the trap down.		68
65	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?"		72
66	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.		72
67	Kim Kitsuragi	"Of course. Noted." He looks at you, incredulously, as you place the trap back in the reeds.		72
68	Kim Kitsuragi	Neither does the lieutenant. He just raises his collar -- it's cold out, as always.		72
69	None			61 62 63 64
70	None			3
71	Inland Empire	Man, it's lonely doing this alone. The wind seems to howl in a strange manner...		70

74	None		IsKimHere()	76
75	None		(IsKimHere()) == false	70
76	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.		77
77	None			78 79 80 81
78	You	"Bummer it wasn't in here..."		83
79	You	"You getting tired?"		84
80	You	"I *must* stress that I did not expect a cryptozoological monstrosity to be in this trap."		85
81	You	Say nothing, just put the trap down.		82
82	Kim Kitsuragi	The lieutenant stretches his back.		86
83	Kim Kitsuragi	"I'm just..." he breathes out. "Glad we haven't found some poor cat trapped in one of these."		86
84	Kim Kitsuragi	"No-no. I'm fine. I didn't mean to complain, it's just..." He's short-winded. The sentence ends there.		86
85	Kim Kitsuragi	"Of course. Noted." He looks at you, incredulously, as you place the trap back in the reeds.		86

92	None		IsKimHere()	94
93	None		(IsKimHere()) == false	95
94	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..."		113
95	Trap: Boathouses	Nothing. No traces of the locusts *or* the Insulindian phasmid. What happened?		113
96	None			97 98
97	None		IsKimHere()	104
98	None		(IsKimHere()) == false	104
99	You	Look closer still.		91
100	None			90 99
101	Trap: Boathouses	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.		121
102	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*."		107 110 106 105
103	Logic	No phasmid either -- but still...		100
104	Trap: Boathouses	Your voice echoes on the coast, carried by a gust of cold wind.		99
105	You	"You're right. This crypto-research has been stupid."		109
106	You	"You're right. But I still need to tell the cryptozoologists about this."		111
107	You	"But what if it *was* the phasmid? What if it ate them and got out?"		112
108	None			114 107 110 106 105
109	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."		116
110	You	"Yeah, it probably *wasn't* the phasmid, but still. Morell needs to know."		115
111	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."		116
112	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."		116
113	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.		87
114	You	"I do get the feeling that someone or something may have messed with the trap..."	Variable["coast.reeds_percept_untidy"]	102
115	Kim Kitsuragi	"We did *sort of* promise to tell them, didn't we..." He seems to regret the fact.		116

119	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?		120

139	None		(IsKimHere()) == false	150
140	Trap: Boathouses	The trap is filled with dead and dying locusts. Most of them aren't moving anymore. You *still* can't see a phasmid anywhere.		134
141	Kim Kitsuragi	"I'm beginning to feel... somewhat sorry for them."		150
142	Empathy	Poor things...
143	You	Pause and just stand there.		149
144	You	[Leave.]
145	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.		151

152	You	"Maybe they will still attract something?"	IsKimHere()	153
153	Kim Kitsuragi	"Yes. Like a cat, or another teenage psychopath."		154
154	None			150
155	Trap: Boathouses	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.		177
156	Trap: Boathouses	The locusts, dazed from being transported, slowly begin to acclimate to their new surroundings.		165
157	You	[Leave.]
158	Reeds	Morell's trap stands empty, just like the boathouses around it. The wind ruffles your sweaty hair.		160
159	You	Release the locusts into the empty trap.		156

164	Kim Kitsuragi	"Good. Now that's done. When do you think we will return to our impending apocalypse of a murder investigation?"		167
165	Composure	They're not really going to get the chance to get comfortable here.		161
166	Trap: Boathouses	All the traps are stocked now -- and still no sight of the phasmid. Return to Morell and let him know.		178
167	Kim Kitsuragi	He stops you. "Don't answer that. It was a rhetorical question."		168
168	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...		157

175	Trap: Boathouses	There's nothing else to do with the traps at this time. They're all just lying around, gathering dust and rainwater.		177
176	Trap: Boathouses	You've checked all the traps now. There's nothing else to do with them. The cryptozoologists await your report.		177
