  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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."

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

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

  • 75
79 Inland Empire You *knew* there was something strange about this one! He's an astral projection, a bureaucratic phantasm!
  • 80

  • 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."

  • 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."

  • 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

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

  • 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."

  • 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..."

  • 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

  • 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..."
