2 Andre You see a youngish man bleaching the tips of his hair with a toothbrush. He puts the toothbrush down and extends his hand in greeting.
  • 349
3 Conceptualization There is definitely something futuristic about his hair, aggressively so. You get the sense that *this* is what the future will look like...
  • 173
4 Conceptualization Imbecilic. Yes, should the future ever come, it will look deeply imbecilic. Like this guy. Variable["ice.andre_conceptualized_hair"]
  • 346
5 You Shake his hand.
  • 7
6 You Don't shake it.
  • 9
7 Andre His grip is strong, sweaty, and warm. He's trying to project and inspire confidence.
  • 8
8 Andre "This is my posse: Noid...."
  • 10
9 Andre "This is my posse: Noid..." He pauses with his hand still hanging in the air.
  • 10
10 Noid The young man with earrings looks at you suspiciously.
  • 12
11 Egg Head "Egg!" he yells. The tape player high above his head continues to blast strange music.
  • 13
12 Andre "...and Egg Head."
  • 11
13 Andre "Together with Acele Berger -- who's out there right now, doing some *seriously* progressive sonic experimentation -- we like to think of ourselves as 'music venue organizers.'"
  • 14
  • 15
14 You "Wait, how many music venues have you organized?"
  • 16
15 You "Why are you here?"
  • 17
16 Andre "We have many in the pipeline, officer."
  • 350
17 Andre "You see, we've been all over Jamrock North, prospecting for real estate to establish a new venue in..."
  • 18
18 Egg Head "Also for talent!"
  • 19
19 Andre "Yes, thank you, Egg Head. And, while there is no shortage of raw, unfettered talent spinning tapes in Jamrock, we've had rotten luck with the real estate part."
  • 20
20 Noid "Place is a shithole."
  • 24
21 Andre "Which brings me to the problem of occupied ecclesiastical property. I bet you've noticed the derelict hive of *narcomania* on the coast?"
  • 562
22 You "There's no need. The place is pretty bad."
  • 21
23 You "Next time, watch yourself."
  • 25
24 Andre "I apologize for my friend Noid's potty-mouth. *I* realize this is not how you speak to a police officer. He has authority issues."
  • 176
25 Noid "I will, law-man." The young man nods and drops a drill chuck into a plastic container.
  • 21
26 You "What are you talking about?" Variable["ice.andre_understood_hes_manipulating"] == false
  • 29
27 Volition An attempt to pander to your perceived conservative sensibilities. No person his age would ever use a word like *narcomania* with a straight face. Don't fall for it!
  • 28
  • 26
28 You "Enough histrionics. What are you talking about?" Variable["ice.andre_understood_hes_manipulating"]
  • 29
29 Andre "I'm talking about the church. And I'm not exaggerating! Even a place of spiritual refuge can become a magnet for all sorts of *dopeheads* and *burnouts* if left unattended..."
  • 30
30 Egg Head "Dopeheads!"
  • 31
31 Noid "Burnouts!" He angrily spits on a screw, then starts cleaning it.
  • 32
32 Andre "Well, I'm sad to say, that's exactly what happened. Sad because we were just about to put Martinaise on the map with one of the maddest dance clubs in Jamrock -- no, strike that -- in Revachol..."
  • 33
33 Egg Head "Strike that -- the world!"
  • 34
34 Andre "And sadder yet because the dopeheads and burnouts holed up in there are *the worst* kind."
  • 351
35 You "What kind?" Variable["ice.andre_understood_hes_manipulating"] == false

  • 44
40 You "'Spookiness' is not a matter for police investigation."
  • 41
41 Andre "You know, officer, you really should judge that for yourself. But keep in mind, their spookiness is the kind that keeps us from restoring this church into a community centre. And a place of spiritual refuge."
  • 42
42 Noid "Also, they don't heat or clean the building. Shit's gonna collapse."
  • 43
43 Egg Head "People just wanna spin tapes without them spookin' it up! Place has bad sines! No one can dance like that."
  • 45
44 Andre "I was hoping you would be the judge of that, officer. All I can say is, their spookiness is the kind that keeps us from restoring this church into a community centre. And a place of spiritual refuge."
  • 42
45 Andre "Thank you, Egg Head..."
  • 50
46 You "You mentioned some kind Ecclesiastes own the church. Who are these Ecclesiastes?"
  • 65
47 You "I'll look into it. Tell me more." (Get the task.)
  • 55
48 You "I'll make up my mind later. I have questions for you first." (Not now.)
  • 53
49 You "The police have more important things to do right now, kid." (Not now.)
  • 51
50 Andre "So you're gonna look into it, right?" He turns to you. "It *should* be a police matter -- getting them out. Whatever spooky stuff they're doing, I'm sure it's not what the Ecclesiastes meant their property for."
  • 590
51 Andre "C'mon, man, at least *think* about it first. It's our lives at stake here, our *dreams!* I'm sure you'll see things differently once you've let me explain it... You guys like questions, right? Cops *love* questions, ask me some! You'll see!"
  • 52
52 Egg Head "Yeah!" His comrade nods his huge head along to the bass. "You got questions -- we got answers!"
  • 60
53 Andre "*Alright*, man!" He claps his hands, enthusiastically...
  • 54
54 Volition ...with the sort of glee that's meant to imply you've already taken on the case.
  • 37
55 Andre "Alright, man!" He claps his hands enthusiastically.
  • 56
56 Empathy Andre is obviously very happy you took him seriously. The whole tent is. The boys exchange giddy looks.
  • 37
57 Andre "That's the spirit!"
  • 37
58 You "Nope." [Leave.] Variable["ice.andre_volition_helped_not_ask_questions"]
59 You "Okay, maybe just a few questions..."
  • 57
60 Noid "I bet he's got a shit-load of questions."
  • 607
61 Volition He's right. All those sweet questions waiting to be answered... you can choose to let them go, though. There will be plenty of questions to ask at another time. Or even from other people.

  • 37

  • 72
66 You "Before we go on, what do you mean by *Meteoran*?"
  • 68

  • 571
75 Andre "Come to think of it, I've never really looked them up, you know. I can't give you a precise definition, but they're a very powerful religious organization."
  • 76
  • 77
76 You "And?"
  • 168
77 You (Nod.) "Good. Now, let's talk about something else."
  • 71
78 You "Now Andre -- in your opinion -- would this ancient religious organization who *anoints the innocence* want a dance club in one of their churches?" Variable["ice.andre_rhetoric_founding_party_mask"]
  • 80
79 You "They sound like exactly the kind of people who would want loud dance music in their church!"
  • 95
80 Andre "Totally." There isn't a trace of doubt in his voice.
  • 81
81 Egg Head "The Perikarnassian Church is about *love*! Anodic music is about *love*! I got love for my Perikarnassian posse, *love* is the relay out of death! WE DANCE!!!" He violently shakes the tape player, as if to see if he can break it.
  • 83
82 Andre "You're *totally* wrong about that." He shakes his head.
  • 81
83 Egg Head "Love is HARD CORE!"
  • 84
84 Noid "Unity."
  • 85
85 Andre "UNITY!"
  • 86
86 Egg Head "Make some noise for my Insulindian posse!" He turns the volume up, then looks at you with a knowing nod. As if it's obvious you will now break into dance.
  • 87
87 Physical Instrument You feel it. The anodes and the cathodes coursing through you -- your big toe starts tapping along to the bass, as if testing the waters...
  • 98
88 You "I don't quite understand what you're talking about. What's a *posse*?"
  • 97
89 You "It sounds like you're just saying random things: love, posse, make noise." Variable["ice.andre_heard_posse_blabbering"]

  • 180
95 Andre "You're right, they do!" he says, without the slightest hint of irony.
  • 81
96 You "No. This is too much. No sane organization would want this level of absurdity in their church." (Proceed.)
  • 538
97 Egg Head "Your posse's like your people, man! Like you got your cop posse -- you look out for each other and you party together. That's a posse!"

100 Esprit de Corps Two men and a woman stand on the beach, under a row of houses long abandoned to war damage. The words "Feld Electrical" have peeled off the turn-of-the-century waterfront development. One of the men carries a small boy on his shoulders. The boy looks up at the faded logo.
  • 103
101 Esprit de Corps The woman says to him: "Good to see you here, special consultant. We're worried about the lieutenant-yefreitor."
  • 102
102 Esprit de Corps "Why are you worried about the lieutenant-yefreitor?" asks the boy. Then a wave comes crashing in.

  • 106
113 Egg Head "Oh yeah, it can!"

  • 345
165 Andre "Oh, so you've met her? Good, good." He nods.
  • 164
166 Andre "Hi again. So, uh... How're things going?" He looks excited. The tips of his hair are sharp and white. The bleach has consumed almost all of the toothbrush on the mirror in front of him.
  • 364
167 Andre "I knew it! The man is back for those sweet, sweet questions!" The young man smiles at you. "What will it be?"
