Kim has a sweet ride, the Coupris Kineema - the sports version of the Coupris 40 police motor-carriage. You should definitely talk about it.
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.

2 | Coupris Kineema | Even at a standstill the uni-body Coupris Kineema looks sleek and dynamic. The cabin is tilted frontward to give it a more aggressive *hunched* look. |
|
|
3 | You | "That machine really puts the 'loco' back in 'locomotion'!" (Point to the vehicle.) "Very cool." |
|
|
4 | You | "I don't like your machine, lieutenant. Looks impractical." |
|
|
5 | Kim Kitsuragi | "Mhmh..." the lieutenant huffs. "No point in stopping then." |
|
|
6 | You | "Agreed, let's keep moving." [Finish thought.] |

11 | Encyclopedia | This is a Coupris Kineema, the Coupris MotorCorp's follow-up to their highly successful workhorse, Coupris 40, and the answer to the LUM's racing-bred 'Fevre' series. |

15 | Interfacing | With its air-cooled, rear-mounted twelve cylinder compression ignition engine driving the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox, the Kineema is able to reach 100 kilometres per hour in 13.5 seconds. And go on to a top speed of 180 kilometres an hour. |
|
|
16 | Interfacing | The high centre of balance is offset by a large battery bank mounted at the bottom of the cabin, feeding all the auxiliary systems and making the Kineema effectively a mobile power plant. |
|
|
17 | Interfacing | Due to a quite steep price tag it is very unusual to see one in police livery. |

19 | You | "A fine machine..." (Run your hand over the smooth metal surface.) |
|

20 | You | "Okay, let's move." [Leave.] |
|
|
21 | Kim Kitsuragi | "You mean the coil noise?" |
|
|
22 | Kim Kitsuragi | "When variable current passes through wires that make up the coils on the electrical systems on this machine -- it causes vibration in the wires and the cores of the coils." |
|
|
23 | Kim Kitsuragi | "When the frequency of the current in the coils falls within the audible range the resulting vibration creates the *whiny sound* you mentioned." |
