2 | Savoir Faire | You close your eyes and vacate your skull, leaving your brain to wonder: where did that little fluttering light go? |

|
69 | You | Say nothing, but push the footwork extra hard. |
|
|
70 | Spinal Cord | Psst. I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. Every vertebrae in your spine is an unformed skull ready to pop up and replace the old one. Like shark teeth. The one you're currently in has a little brain forming in it. Waiting for its turn... |

98 | Spinal Cord | I am the spinal cord! |

99 | Spinal Cord | Foolhardy! Do you even *know* what's happening on the surface? Maybe a thousand years have passed? Or maybe you started spazzing out like two seconds ago? |
|

100 | Egg Head | You might be imagining it but it feels like Egg Head turned the volume down. Such is his respect. |

102 | Physical Instrument | With your eyes still closed, the first thing you feel, all the way back in the pivoting darkness of your own torso, is warmth. You have become a triumph of rhythmo-plastics -- somewhere in a smelly wooden church on the coast of Revachol. The wounds from the war you've waged on your body are healing, twist by twist, turn by turn. |
|
|
103 | Noid | "End of human development. Mission. Complete." |

104 | Electrochemistry | You must have touched upon an entirely new way of moving the human body! Every motion is pumping your brain full of endorphins... Open your eyes to the pioneering glory of HARD STYLE! |

105 | Conceptualization | As you open your eyes, you should scream "HYPER! HYPER!" (It seems appropriate.) |

106 | Kim Kitsuragi | "Okay, you psychopath..." He adjusts his spectacles, then pops his collar as high as it will go. "I see what you're doing there. It's jacked-up footwork, plus some... Is that Ubi folk dancing?" |
|
|
107 | Andre | "Oh my god..." The speedfreaks' would-be leader stands slack-jawed in disbelief at the hard-coreness on display. He whispers to himself: "No way..." |
|
|
108 | You | "Nothing. It was nothing." (Leave him be.) |
|
|
109 | Spinal Cord | No one cares. The move will bust itself. Resistance only makes the move more futuristic. |

120 | Kim Kitsuragi | "What's going on here?" The lieutenant looks at you and the speedfreaks grinding around in the church, a group of unhinged lunatics. "Delinquents," he grumbles. |

121 | Kim Kitsuragi | "What?" The lieutenant leans closer, unable to make out your words over the pumping beats. "Cut a *what*?" |

125 | Volition | Free from self-awareness. No deliberation, only -- and I mean *only* -- execution. |

132 | Egg Head | With his reel-to-reel mixer blasting the anthem of a future that will never come, the young man observes your moves for a second... |

136 | Kim Kitsuragi | Then a breath of cold sea air fills the church as the lieutenant opens the door and steps out. |

147 | Andre | "You TOTALLY do!" Andre waves his hands around his head, perhaps to imply that he's *out of his mind*... |
