2	The Greatest Innocence	"The Greatest Innocence" by João Paolo Salomao Lopez de Fuego. The book is large and heavy.		138
3	The Greatest Innocence	Your educational survey is done. Did you catch any of that? No? Oh well, it's pop quiz time! Let's see what you've learned. This might take a few minutes. You ready?		4 5
4	You	Sure, why not?		8
5	You	Oh god no, let me out of here.		6
6	The Greatest Innocence	Disappointing. You'll never get anywhere with that attitude.		7
7	None			138
8	The Greatest Innocence	That's the spirit. Here we go! Question 1: Who was the first innocence?		10
9	Encyclopedia	Easy! Everybody knows the answer to this. You, me, anybody.		165
10	Encyclopedia	Oh yeah, this is what I was made for.		160
11	You	That so? Alright, go on, give me all the hints you got.	Variable["doomed.book_gi_ency_blackcheck"] == true	18
12	You	Sola?		15
13	You	Dolores Dei?		16
14	You	The Perikarnassian?		17
15	The Greatest Innocence	Incorrect. Sola was anointed during the previous century and even lived to see the current one. She was an urban planner who spoke her mind and largely left history to its own devices, encouraging people to excel on their own rather than prescribing to a deified model of history. She is often called an *anti-innocence*.		77
16	The Greatest Innocence	Incorrect. Dolores Dei was the innocence of humanism, internationalism, and the welfare state. She codified parliamentary democracy and created modern institutions, among these the Moralintern. She was powerful. And beautiful, on all her icons...		78
17	The Greatest Innocence	Correct! Nothing much is known about him. It's not even clear that he was a *he*, but Franconegro presumed as such and called him Pius. He's depicted as a young man with molten gold pouring out of his mouth -- all he spoke was gold. It's said he *invented* god; and equality of men before god. He also introduced the gold standard as a way for measuring people's love for aurum.		79
18	Encyclopedia	A pop quiz is a short examination designed to test your knowledge without any prior warning or announcement. Such exams allow the teacher to assess how thoroughly the students have retained the material at hand -- voila! Now blast that first innocence!		143

22	None			19
23	The Greatest Innocence	Question 2: Who was the strongest innocence?		9
24	You	Okay, very interesting, but that doesn't help me answer the question.		31
25	You	Doesn't sound too familiar to me, shoot me a hint.	Variable["doomed.book_gi_ency_blackcheck"] == true	34
26	You	Dolores Dei?		152
27	You	Vesper-Messina?		30
28	You	Franconegro?		32
29	The Greatest Innocence	Incorrect. While she originated many modern institutions, launched several successful expeditions, and was even critical of the innocentic system itself -- not to mention *beautiful* -- she is not often considered the *strongest*.		80
30	The Greatest Innocence	Incorrect. Vesper-Messina is not a person, but a defunct state on the southeastern coast of the Occident. It used to take up most of the peninsula, before separating into the Republics of Vesper and Messina. Care to try again?		37
31	Encyclopedia	Um... I can do better! Okay, so commonly an innocence does not enforce his or her power through military power. This is seen as unnecessary. The innocence wins because an innocence can't help but win, for their deeds are inevitabilities. Did this help?		73 202
32	The Greatest Innocence	Correct! Named the innocence of militarism, he codified hereditary rule -- but at the same time ended serfdom and established the interisolary reál as the global reserve currency. He also established the concept of the Nation.		81
33	The Greatest Innocence	Question 3: Who was the false innocence?		39
34	Encyclopedia	An innocence is the highest category of historical personage in the world, a literal personification of History. Traditionally, an innocence, when anointed, assumes supreme rule over the Occident, or the known world in general -- at least the parts that matter.		24

38	None			36
39	Encyclopedia	Got it under control. No problem. Solid on this one. It's wide-spread historical information.		177
40	None			52
41	You	Sigh internally.		48
42	You	All news to me, so maybe a few hints?	Variable["doomed.book_gi_ency_blackcheck"] == true	51
43	You	Stepan the Despicable?		46
44	You	Kedra?		47
45	You	Ernö Pasternak?		49
46	The Greatest Innocence	Incorrect. Stepan the Despicable, regent of Kedra, was a ruler who conquered the known world during the Kedreatic Conquest -- *instead* of the despotic Ernö Pasternak. Would you try again?		54
47	The Greatest Innocence	Incorrect. Kedra is a large nation in the mid-northern area of the Mundi isola, north of the Occident, between the Irmalan mountain range and the Pisantic *mare interregnum*. Care to try again?		53
48	Encyclopedia	There seems to be a mix-up with the sources. It's not my fault.		182
49	The Greatest Innocence	Correct! There have been a number of counter- or false-innocences -- some assumed to have innocentic qualities, some who just thought so themselves. Occasionally they have the support of a faction inside the ecclesiastic organization, and accusations of foul play have arisen...		82
50	The Greatest Innocence	Final stretch, you've come so far and learned so much. This is the most important one. Question 4: Who was the *greatest* innocence? The most *important* of them all. The most precious to human kind...		55
51	Encyclopedia	Yes. There exists a group called the Founding Party. Known as the Holy Party during the time of the Perikarnassian. This, the world's oldest international organization, spends its time in search of either the re-emergence of the innocence, or new members.		41
52	None			42 45 44 43 180
53	None			52
54	None			52
55	Encyclopedia	I've got it! Honest.		187
56	You	You sound confident, go right ahead -- a hint would come in handy.	Variable["doomed.book_gi_ency_blackcheck"] == true	67
57	None			70
58	You	You're *absolutely* certain of this?		64
59	You	Ernö Pasternak.		62
60	You	Franconegro.		63
61	You	Dolores Dei.		65
62	The Greatest Innocence	Incorrect. He was a violent bastard out to torture, maim and kill whoever stood in his way. He was also a *false* innocence, disqualifying him from being the greatest and most important -- and most precious to human kind. Would you like to try again?		69
63	The Greatest Innocence	Incorrect. While Franconegro built concrete churches and cathedrals, and while many people, especially the Mesque, consider him a father figure due to his militarism and nationalism, João Paolo Salomao Lopez de Fuego argues differently. Another choice, perhaps?		204
64	Encyclopedia	Zero doubts.		183
65	The Greatest Innocence	Correct! The Mesque might see Franconegro as the father of nations, but as of this century there's been a great shift in attitude -- Dolores Dei has become widely regarded as the greatest innocence. A most radical change to the whole fabric of the world.		83
66	The Greatest Innocence	... an A. All correct. Impressive, *oddly* so.		191
67	Encyclopedia	Of course! This is my *thing*, the reason I exist in this world. The correct answer is Franconegro.		58

72	Encyclopedia	Damn.		164
73	You	No.		72
74	You	You know, I didn't really absorb anything from what I just read.	Variable["doomed.book_gi_quiz_again"] == 1	75
75	The Greatest Innocence	Then go with your best guess! Isn't that what students are trained to do when they don't know the answer?		76
76	None			19
77	The Greatest Innocence	Sola resigned after an assassination attempt by a Yugo nationalist, who blamed her for not taking the side of the left during the turn of the century revolutions. (Innocences don't usually resign). Care to try again?		21
78	The Greatest Innocence	Her colours are silver, white, and apricot. And when you think her name, Dolores, stomach acid rises to the back of your throat and it hurts -- you see a flash silver, a wreath, an airport bag. And blonde hair, you don't know why. Another choice, perhaps?		144
79	The Greatest Innocence	As the first innocence, he declared that there should be more of those like him. It is presumed his disciples were the beginning of the Holy Party (the Founding Party).		23
80	The Greatest Innocence	Even though the words most associated with her rule are *l'amour, la compassion, l'autodiscipline* -- love, compassion, self-control -- which could be seen as facets of strength. Would you like to try again?		156
81	The Greatest Innocence	Franconegro attempted to solve the rising tensions between the aristocracy and bourgeoisie by building a unified society, in which every man has a place and a mission, but at the same time may rise to nobility provided on the strength of his virtue.		33
82	The Greatest Innocence	The most famous -- and important -- of these was Ernö Pasternak. He was into torture, despotism, hymns, cannons, and world conquest, but got defeated and humiliated by Stepan the Despicable of Kedra.		50
83	The Greatest Innocence	Everything from interisolary travel, to the connected world, to three consecutive scientific revolutions can be traced back to her. Every decade that passes she seems less human somehow -- and more beautiful...		200

92	You	"I put this book in it's place, that's what. I'm so goddamn smart."		94
93	You	"Never mind. Thinking aloud."		94

102	Kim Kitsuragi	"Oh-kay." The lieutenant stares at you, his visage unflinching.		103

117	The Greatest Innocence	Yeah, sure. It's so much easier once you know the answers, right?		110
118	Kim Kitsuragi	The lieutenant is tapping his foot, but you can't tell if it's a habitual tic or impatience.		116
