13	Kim Kitsuragi	"Mr. Villedrouin..." The lieutenant nods.		237
14	None			15 16 17 210
15	You	"Mr. Villedrouin..."		18
16	You	"I've been looking all over for you."		19
17	You	"Look what the tide dragged in."		20
18	Sunday Friend	"I must admit. I did not take you for a sightseer. What do you want now?"		21
19	Sunday Friend	"Is that so? Have you come to *enforce* an arrest warrant?"		21
20	Sunday Friend	"Is that an RCM *term of art* for the *wrongfully accused*?"		22
21	You	"Listen, about what happened earlier..."		25
22	Empathy	How do you expect to assign la responsabilité if you won't apologise for your own mistakes?		24 23
23	You	"Sorry, bad joke. I wanted to talk about what happened earlier."		27
24	You	"Let's get right to it. I have something to say."		26
25	Sunday Friend	"Yes?" He turns to face you.		28
26	Sunday Friend	"And what is that, officer?" He turns to face you.		28
27	Sunday Friend	"I'm listening." He turns to face you.		28
28	None			29 30 31
29	You	"It seems we had a little 'misunderstanding.'"		35
30	You	"I would like to sincerely apologise for my behaviour. It was completely inappropriate, and I accept full responsibility."		36
31	You	"I'm still pretty sure you were in the wrong, but I'm willing to forgive you."		32
32	Sunday Friend	"Unbelievable. I have never seen the nerve before..."		45
33	Sunday Friend	"Especially from a common officer of the Revachol Citizens Militia."		49
34	Sunday Friend	"Does this behaviour represent the RCM's *official stance* toward its Coalition partners?" He turns to the lieutenant.		48
35	Sunday Friend	"That is certainly a *euphemistic* way to describe what I recall..."		42
36	Sunday Friend	The man considers your words a moment, then nods slowly...		37
37	Sunday Friend	"I accept your apology, officer, out of my *profound* respect for the RCM, and the importance of our continuing partnership."		38
38	Sunday Friend	"Now, what brings you down to the coast?"		44
39	Sunday Friend	"And now, this conversation is over. Good day, *officer*."
40	Sunday Friend	"Perhaps he does, perhaps he does not. In any case, this conversation is over. Good day, officers."		41
41	Sunday Friend	With that, he turns his back to you once more.		51
42	Empathy	You aren't going to get out of this with evasion.		43

48	Authority	Do you hear that contempt in his voice? He's always considered himself *above* you.		50
49	Authority	Do you hear that contempt in his voice? He's always considered himself *above* you.		238
50	Kim Kitsuragi	"I must apologise on my partner's behalf, again. Please believe me when I say that he does not speak for the RCM in *any* capacity."		40
51	Kim Kitsuragi	The lieutenant stares at the man's back, then steps away. He makes sure no one else can hear him as he turns to face you...		52
52	Kim Kitsuragi	"I don't understand why you have it in for this man. He's never been anything but gracious and helpful to our cause. Why do you feel the need to insult him?"		53 54 55
53	You	"I'm sorry, Kim. I just can't help it."		56
54	You	"It feels like he holds us in contempt, like he thinks he's better than we are."	Variable["coast.sunday_authority_contempt"] == true	57
55	You	"I just don't like his face, okay?"		58
56	Kim Kitsuragi	"Good god, couldn't you *try* at least?"		59
57	Kim Kitsuragi	"Of course he does, he's from the Moralintern. But that doesn't mean *we* don't have standards to maintain..."		59
58	Kim Kitsuragi	"Good god, couldn't you *pretend* at least?"		59
59	Kim Kitsuragi	"I'm not even sure why I'm bothering. This is *your* side task, after all..."		239
60	Kim Kitsuragi	"Now, let's go. You've done enough damage here."
61	Sunday Friend	"Ah, super, here you are again, officer. How can I help?"		66
62	Sunday Friend	As you approach, the man turns and greets you with a polite wave.		65
63	Sunday Friend	"Ah, super, it's the officer! I was not expecting to run into you again, but things have a funny way of turning out, no?"		64
64	Sunday Friend	"What brings you down to the scenic Martinaise coast?"		66
65	Empathy	He appears completely at ease, like a common holidaymaker.		63
66	None			69 67 68
67	You	"I need your help forming a committee. I'm trying to assign *la responsabilité*."	IsTaskActive("TASK.talk_moralism_with_sunday_friend")--[[ Variable[ ]]	70
68	You	"Thank you for your time." [Leave.]		163
69	You	"Actually, I was wondering what *you're* doing out here."		169
70	Sunday Friend	"My friend, if it's *la responsabilité* you're after, I have good news for you: There's no need to form such a committee, because it already exists!"		71
71	Logic	God, of course it does. These Moralintern types...		72
72	Sunday Friend	"The Comité de Responsabilité de Revachol. It acts as a sort-of clearinghouse for Coalition activities. To put it simply, they are the ultimate arbiters of la responsabilité in this part of the world."		73
73	Empathy	Yes, this is just the sort of reasonable authority you're looking for!		74
74	Sunday Friend	"I would offer to connect you with the committee myself, but alas, I am not actually *in* Martinaise."		78

76	None		Variable["apt.sunday_perc_where"]	79
77	None		(Variable["apt.sunday_perc_where"]) == false	80
78	Perception (Sight)	What? Where is he, then?		75
79	Inland Empire	You *knew* there was something strange about this one! He's an astral projection, a bureaucratic phantasm!		80
80	Rhetoric	He's speaking figuratively. He means he's not in Martinaise in his *official* capacity.		81
81	None			82 83 84 85
82	You	"What are you talking about? I'm looking at you right now!"		86
83	You	(Attempt to stick your hand through his astral form.)	Variable["apt.sunday_inland_astral_projection"] == true	89
84	You	"I got it. You're only here on *personal* business."	Variable["apt.sunday_rhetoric_figuratively"] == true	87
85	You	"So... where *are* you, then?"		88
86	Sunday Friend	"Of course, we are speaking informally, but *officially* I am still in La Delta, preparing for an upcoming conference on fuel oil derivatives..."		90
87	Sunday Friend	"Précisément. *Officially* I am still in La Delta, preparing for an upcoming conference on fuel oil derivatives..."		90
88	Sunday Friend	"Why, *officially* I am still in La Delta, preparing for an upcoming conference on fuel oil derivatives. I'm only in Martinaise in an unofficial capacity..."		90
89	Sunday Friend	"Mais que faites-vous, officer?" Your hand bumps up against the man's solid if somewhat fleshy chest.		91
90	Sunday Friend	"That's why it would be extremely irregular, or potentially even *inappropriate* for me to intercede with the Committee concerning a district I'm not officially in."		100 101 102
91	None			92 93
92	None		IsKimHere()	94
93	None		(IsKimHere()) == false	95
94	Kim Kitsuragi	"Yes, I was wondering the same thing. What are you doing?"		95
95	None			96 97
96	You	"You said you weren't really here. I had to make sure you weren't an astral projection."		98
97	You	"Nothing, just lost my balance a moment."		99
98	Sunday Friend	"No, no, don't be silly. We're simply speaking in an informal capacity. *Officially* I am still in La Delta, preparing for an upcoming conference on fuel oil derivatives..."		90
99	Sunday Friend	"Perhaps your blood sugar is a bit low? As I was saying, *officially* speaking I am still in La Delta, preparing for an upcoming conference on fuel oil derivatives..."		90
100	You	"But this is an urgent matter. I *need* to get in touch with the Committee."		103
101	You	"How am I supposed to contact the Committee then?"		104
102	You	"Are you saying I should just give up?"		105
103	Sunday Friend	"Yes, you've made your *persistence* quite clear. Under normal circumstances I would have to insist you go through the regular channels."		106
104	Sunday Friend	The man frowns. "Well, under ordinary circumstances, the Committee contacts *you*."		107
105	Sunday Friend	"I don't mean to discourage you, of course, just to say that it won't be *easy* to reach the Committee."		108
106	Volition	No, no. You can't let them give you the runaround.		109
107	Rhetoric	In other words, the Committee only knows what it *wants* to know.		109
108	Logic	Not exactly a model of accessible and accountable governance...		109
109	Sunday Friend	"But if you have information of a vital interest, they might be willing to entertain an exception. In which case, I would advise you to contact them via Coalition Warship Archer."		110
110	None			111 112 153 113
111	You	"Wait, what's Coalition Warship Archer?"	Variable["tc.archer"] == false	114
112	You	"Why do I need to go through Archer to speak to the Committee?"	Variable["tc.archer"] == true	150
113	You	"So how does one go about contacting a Coalition warship?" (Proceed.)		154
114	Sunday Friend	"Officer? You mean to say you haven't noticed the giant Coalition aerostatic peacefully patrolling the skies over Revachol?"		115
115	None			116 117
116	None		IsDaytime()	118
117	None		(IsDaytime()) == false	119
118	Perception (Sight)	You follow the man's gaze out toward the west. There, hanging some distance above the horison, you can just make out a strange silhouette...		123
119	Perception (Sight)	You follow the man's gaze out toward the west. There, amidst the low-hanging stars, you can just make out signs of motion...		120
120	None			121 122

125	None		(Variable["apt.sunday_perc_archer_saw"]) == false	127
126	Perception (Sight)	It looks, to your eye, like some kind of long, metallic fish, suspended beneath a number of ceiling fans...		130
127	Perception (Sight)	You look around, but you don't see anything unusual. Then again, your eyes aren't the sharpest...		135 136
128	Perception (Sight)	It's a set of position lights moving in unison, like a restless constellation...		133
129	Perception (Sight)	You can't see anything. But then, it's dark, and your eyes aren't the sharpest...		135 136
130	Conceptualization	Not just any fish, it moves like some ancient bottom-feeder gliding over the ocean floor in search of prey...		131
131	Half Light	Don't let the paintjob fool you, it's a goddamn killing machine, and there's nothing you can do to stop it!		132
132	Visual Calculus	It's about four-and-a-half kilometres from your position, you estimate.		140
133	Conceptualization	No, it's more like a creature from the abyssopelagic zone, a great dark bioluminescent fish...		134
134	Half Light	Don't let the shiny lights fool you, it's a goddamn killing machine, and there's nothing you can do to stop it!		132
135	You	"Oh, right. The *Archer*. I thought you said... something else."		137
136	You	"I don't think I've ever noticed it before."		138
137	Sunday Friend	"Ah, well, I'm glad to hear that at least. It would really be *quite unusual* for you to have never noticed it before..."		139
138	Sunday Friend	"Interesting. In a sense, that's the very idea. The Coalition doesn't want the people of Revachol to feel that they are under a *military* occupation. That is why the Archer is always careful to maintain a constant, discreet distance."		139
139	None			110
140	None			141 142 143 144
141	You	"It's amazing. An inspiring symbol."		145
142	You	"It looks like a fish."	Variable["apt.sunday_concept_archer"] == true	146
143	You	"It looks like a killing machine."	Variable["apt.sunday_halflight_killing_machine"] == true	147
144	You	"Huh. Can't believe I never noticed it before."		148
145	Sunday Friend	"Isn't it? A triumph of both technical ingenuity and international cooperation. I, for one, feel much safer knowing it's up there, watching all of us."		149
146	Sunday Friend	"Fascinating. I always thought it was more like a dragonfly. But isn't it interesting how humanity always finds inspiration in nature?"		149
147	Sunday Friend	"Well, of course it *is* a heavily armed and armoured warship with a full complement. But I assure you its purpose in Revachol is to *keep* the peace, not disturb it."		149
148	Sunday Friend	"That is part of the idea, of course. The Coalition doesn't want the people of Revachol to feel that they are under a *military* occupation. That is why the Archer is always careful to maintain a constant, discreet distance."		149
149	None			110
150	Sunday Friend	"You see, in addition to being an airborne artillery platform, Coalition Warship Archer is also the linchpin of the Coalition's surveillance and communications infrastructure in Revachol."		236
151	Sunday Friend	"And listening! It has the most objective vantage point in the entire city. Not to mention a vast array of radio, photographic, and meteorological monitoring instruments."		152
152	Sunday Friend	"I find it a great comfort to know there are benevolent powers watching over all, in strict accordance with the Wayfarer Act and the Bristelmüne Conventions."		212
153	You	"Hold on, it's *watching* us, too?"	Variable["coast.sunday_archer_surveillance"] == true	151
154	Sunday Friend	"Hmmm, this is quite the problem, very tricky. Of course, the Archer has orders to fire on any unidentified aerostatics that might approach it, so it might be safer to get in touch *from the ground*..."		155
155	Sunday Friend	"But in that case, you would require a radio transmitter capable of broadcasting on Coalition frequencies. And that kind of technology naturally isn't typically available for non-Coalition use. Yes, it *is* a bit of a conundrum."		156
156	Sunday Friend	"I suppose there might be some way to *circuit-bend* your way onto those frequencies, but you'd have to be one of those *techno-tinkerers* to do it."		157 158 159
157	You	"Do you know any of these tinkerers?"		160
158	You	"Is that... legal?"		161
159	You	"So what am I supposed to do?"		162
160	Sunday Friend	"Unfortunately not, no, I don't have the pleasure. I am merely a representative of the Coalition Government, not very well-versed in technology. But you..."		216
161	Sunday Friend	"Unauthorised circuit-bending is a very serious matter with grave security implications, but as of the moment there is no specific law *forbidding* it, in Revachol at least..."		216
162	Sunday Friend	"That, my friend, is your responsabilité. I cannot take it from you, nor can you delegate it to someone else..."		216

166	Sunday Friend	"Always my pleasure to be of assistance to the RCM. Godspeed, and if we don't meet again, bonne chance!"
167	Sunday Friend	"Already leaving?" He shakes his head merrily. "À tout à l'heure, officer!"
168	None			110
169	Sunday Friend	"Mm, well that's très simple. I was visiting the fishing village just north of here. They have applied for a series of micro-loans to revitalise the old market, and well, I wished to see the situation *first-hand*..."		170
170	Sunday Friend	"And then, well, I had some extra time on my hands, so I decided to stroll down here. It's quite peaceful, isn't it?"		171
171	None			172 173 174 175 178
172	You	(Look around.) "Yeah, it's lovely."		176
173	You	"It's not quite my scene."		177
174	You	"You do know there was a mass execution right over there?"	Variable["coast.exec_viscal_succeeded"] == true	181
175	You	"Did you see all the bullet holes in that wall over there?"	Variable["coast.exec_bullets_seen"] == true	207
176	Sunday Friend	The man takes a deep breath. "Yes, there's nothing like a stroll along the coast to lift one's spirits."		174 175 178
177	Sunday Friend	"Well, you know what they say, 'In matters of taste, there can be no dispute'! For my part, I find it quite invigorating."		174 175 178
178	You	"Actually, there was something *else* I wanted to ask you about."		179
179	Sunday Friend	"Ah, bon? I'm all ears, officer."		180
180	None			66
181	Sunday Friend	"Really?" The man frowns. "*Here*? How can you be sure?"		182 183
182	You	"It's sort of a gift I have. I can reconstruct things that happened in the past. High-end detective stuff."		184
183	You	"For one, that wall over there is *covered* in bullet holes."		185
184	Sunday Friend	"Ah, a very useful gift for a police detective, I'm sure. Fascinating, *how much history* is contained right here, if only one knows where to look for it..."		186
185	Sunday Friend	"Ah, is that what those pock marks are? I might've guessed. Fascinating, *how much history* is contained right here, if only one knows where to look for it..."		186
186	Rhetoric	Are you just going to let him get away with these generalities and euphemisms?		187

191	You	"Ugly work, but at least someone had the balls to do what had to be done."	IsTHCPresent("revacholian_nationhood")	197
192	You	"Really, it's the property damage that most offends me."	IsTHCPresent("ultraliberal")	199
193	Sunday Friend	"Yes, the loss of human life was truly catastrophic... This is why the Coalition is so focused on preventing another war. Our peacekeeping mission is a testament to this..."		194
194	Sunday Friend	"Thankfully, the region is becoming more and more stable. I'm confident that atrocities like this belong in the past. The future is..." he snaps his fingers, "*tranquilou bilou!*"		195
195	Rhetoric	*Tranquilou bilou*? Let's not get into this, you can't argue with someone who uses words like 'tranquilou bilou'.		196
196	None			178
197	Sunday Friend	"A rather *brutal* perspective on history." He frowns slightly. "I personally take the more nuanced view that it was regrettably harsh, but perhaps necessary to end the war..."		211
198	None			178
199	Sunday Friend	"Now, now. Human life is *always* more important than private property..."		200
200	Sunday Friend	"Though, I do hope whoever was responsible at least compensated the building's owner appropriately."		201
201	None			178
202	You	"You're right. It's so complex and fascinating I can't even *begin* to think critically about it."		203
203	Sunday Friend	"Well said. Let us just be grateful that *we* don't live in such fascinating times."		204
204	None			178
205	Rhetoric	You feel like there's *something* you could say here, if only you really knew what was going on...		209

211	Sunday Friend	"What's certain is that we must do everything to prevent such tragic events from ever happening again. The answers lie in *debates*, not in violence."		198
212	Encyclopedia	The Bristelmüne Conventions are a series of international agreements governing the treatment of military personnel and civilians in theatres of war as well as occupied territories. In practice, they are more talked about than observed.		168

224	Sunday Friend	"Let me just say that I have *complete confidence* in the RCM. I'm sure you'll figure something out."		235
225	Empathy	You *will* figure it out. Something tells you the person you're looking for is already on this coast...		224
226	Empathy	Perhaps your new friends in the tent might be able to help you?		224
