2	You	"Wait, who are the 'communards', again?"		16
3	You	"Was it made by a sea monster rising from the depths?"	Variable["plaza.crack_inland_clicked"]	4
4	René Arnoux	"No," he says without even smiling. "It was left by heavy artillery fire."		92
5	René Arnoux	"No," he replies, gaze wondering over the bay. "It was left by heavy artillery fire."		92
6	You	"Was there an earthquake here?"	Variable["plaza.crack_logic_clicked"]	5
7	You	"Does it have anything to do with all the bullet holes I've been seeing around?"	Variable["plaza.sense_bulletholes_clicked"]	8
8	René Arnoux	"Yes," he replies with a reluctant nod. "It was left by heavy artillery fire."		92
9	René Arnoux	"Yes..." The man nods. "The terrain here provides an interesting variety to a familiar game."		3 6 7 12
10	René Arnoux	"Why what?"		13
11	You	"Did you use artillery fire against them?"		17
12	You	"Do you know what created it?"		14
13	You	"Why was heavy artillery used?"		75
14	René Arnoux	"I do," he nods, straightening his back. "Fire from heavy artillery."		92
15	You	"Okay, it's a crater left by artillery fire -- but why?"		10
16	René Arnoux	"Commies, communists, socialists, anarchists -- call them what you like. They just chose the name to feel special." The carabineer frowns. "Senseless sentimentality."		11 76
17	René Arnoux	"Sadly, no. It was the foreigners who brought them to their knees. We fought valiantly -- too valiantly. So valiantly we got licked," he adds, squeezing a boule in his fist.		18
18	René Arnoux	"Should've fought dirty. Like they did with their suicide sex cult propaganda and mad anarchist women strapped to shrapnel bombs. We didn't though. And we lacked calibre. God bless him, but the suzerain's cannons simply weren't big enough.“		19
19	Logic	It was probably a bit more complicated than that.		20 79 93
20	You	"Why shell them here in Martinaise?"		21
21	René Arnoux	"Because this place is the damn Beachhead," he says, pointing to the bay. "Had to soften the commies up first."		22
22	You	"The Beachhead?"		23
23	René Arnoux	"Yes," he nods, inspecting you with some disdain. "The military-coordinated amphibious landing to take back Revachol."		95
24	René Arnoux	"Martinaise was used as one of the three footholds in Revachol during Operation Death Blow in '08. The other two are off in Stella Maris and the Delta." He points to the northeast.		83 81 82
25	René Arnoux	"This here is blood ground, where Coalition boots first made landfall and cleaned those rabid dogs out. Most likely," he says, looking down at the soil, "we're playing pétanque on their mangled corpses."		26
26	Gaston Martin	"Blood ground..." The other one shakes his head. "You got old René going there. Like he isn't angry enough already..."		27 28 29
27	You	"Hold on -- the Coalition?"		30
28	You	"Is that why everything is so bombed out?"		39
29	You	"Ah, that explains all the war damage."		39
30	René Arnoux	"Mhmh," he grunts. "Don't get me wrong, officer. I hate those foreign dogs. But the enemy of my enemy and all that. They're the lesser evil."		28 29 31
31	You	"Actually I already know all this. I just wanted to know if you do too."		32
32	René Arnoux	"Yes, dammit -- I know! They laid the fire of hell on this city before they stormed it. And it worked, too." There is a strange gleam in his eyes.		34
33	René Arnoux	"The rest of the city got cleaned up, but Martinaise they keep as a monument." A dark shadow runs across his face. "And now the Union socialists are practically running the place."		89
34	Half Light	He approves of this radical approach. Knows it was necessary.		33
35	You	"That's how it should be. Soft socialists paving the way for the hard working class to take over."		84
36	You	"Foreign powers cleaned up our mess and now they rule us." (Shake your head in shame.)		51
37	You	"This Coalition seems quite capable, actually."		40
38	You	"Commies just don't understand how money works."		50
39	René Arnoux	"Damn right, son. They laid the fire of hell on this city before they stormed it. And it worked, too." There is a strange gleam in his eyes.		34
40	René Arnoux	"They're not. And I'm sorry it had to be them. After eight years of fighting those hyenas, boiling cats for food and drinking piss in the mountains..." He takes a deep breath.		42
41	René Arnoux	"Instead, all that is just, holy, and beautiful in the world was wiped away and now it's neon signs with toothpaste ads everywhere. Foreign influence peddling garbage and stupid music on the radio." He sighs.		44
42	René Arnoux	"I would have preferred if the right honourable King Guillaume returned to Revachol or even if that damn clown, Frissel, had risen from the grave and led us. Sadly that was not the case."		43
43	Empathy	This Royal failure weighs heavily on him.		41
44	René Arnoux	"This is just what the commies wanted. This was their plan all along. This is what they wanted to replace the rule of the Suzerain with."		101
45	None			85 46 47 48
46	You	"Who was this Frissel?"		52
47	You	"You mentioned Guillaume?"		54
48	You	"Hmm... what exactly is a suzerain?" (Conclude.)		67
49	None			External: (605, 2)
50	René Arnoux	"No, they don't. But I'm sorry it had to be the Coalition. After eight years of fighting rabid commies, boiling cats for food and drinking piss in the mountains..." He takes a deep breath.		42
51	René Arnoux	"I'm sorry it had to be them." He looks down at his boots. "After eight years of fighting those hyenas, boiling cats for food and drinking piss in the mountains..."		42
52	René Arnoux	"Damn Frissel -- he was the king we couldn't protect. The carabineers failed him... and the crown." The old veteran falls silent and massages his chest. "He died in the hands of the hoi polloi in a very public execution."		98
53	None			45
54	René Arnoux	"A true King in both blood and mind. Led Revachol before Frissel. He would have been better, but the damn commies drove him into exile."		55
55	René Arnoux			56 57
56	René Arnoux		Variable["pier.joyce_told_how_guillaume_got_out_and_frissel_was_shot_in_his_place"]	58
57	René Arnoux		(Variable["pier.joyce_told_how_guillaume_got_out_and_frissel_was_shot_in_his_place"]) == false	97
58	Reaction Speed	Wait, Joyce said Guillaume ran and his nephew, Frissel, was shot in his place.		69
59	Logic	Exiled? Joyce said Guillaume ran and his nephew, Frissel, was shot in his place.		60
60	René Arnoux			61 62
61	René Arnoux		Variable["plaza.rene_logic_joyce_said_frissel_was_shot_instead_of_guillaume"]	63 73
62	René Arnoux		(Variable["plaza.rene_logic_joyce_said_frissel_was_shot_instead_of_guillaume"]) == false	65
63	You	"Commies didn't drive Guillaume out. He left, when things got bad and left Frissel to take the hit."		64
64	René Arnoux	"This is communard propaganda! Guillaume would never do something like that. He is LE LION."		72
65	None			45
66	None			45
67	René Arnoux	"The Suzerain is the King. Has everyone forgotten already?" He then slowly nods and says to himself: "They've forgotten already."		99
68	René Arnoux	"It's no use talking to you. You were still in daddy's balls when it happened. When we took our last stand against the filth and rode the cavalry straight into gunfire."		100
69	René Arnoux			70 71
70	René Arnoux		Variable["plaza.rene_reaction_joyce_said_frissel_was_shot_instead_of_guillaume"]	63
71	René Arnoux		(Variable["plaza.rene_reaction_joyce_said_frissel_was_shot_instead_of_guillaume"]) == false	59
72	Volition	There is not a shadow of a doubt in his mind that this is the truth.		65
73	You	"Oh, okay."		74
74	René Arnoux	"What else?"		65
75	René Arnoux	"Because that's what happens when communards hijack your country, execute your supreme leadership, and turn your capital into a slaughterhouse. You use heavy ordnance to clean up your home."		2 11 76
76	You	"Maybe we can do this history lesson later."		77
77	René Arnoux	"Fine," the carabineer replies sharply. "What do you want now then?"		78
78	None			External: (605, 2)
79	You	"They should have chosen a place away from people and buildings."		80
80	René Arnoux	"This place is the damn Beachhead, son," he says, pointing to the bay. "They had to soften the commies up first."		22
81	You	Nod thoughtfully and turn to look northeast.		25
82	You	Shake your head and look down at the crater.		25
83	You	"Death Blow... sounds grim."		25
84	René Arnoux	"Preposterous! Surely you don't mean it." He frowns. "I'm just sorry it had to be them. After eight years of fighting those commie hyenas, boiling cats for food and drinking my piss in the mountains..."		42
85	You	"How does Filippe the Third factor into this?" (Point towards the monument.)	Variable["jam.horseback_squanderer"] == true	86
86	René Arnoux	"He doesn't," the veteran replies sharply. "That was one hundred years ago. Ain't got nothing to do with anything."		53
87	None			35 36 37 38 90
88	René Arnoux	"You don't even begin to truly understand the players on the table, let alone the specific circumstances surrounding the..." He stops mid-sentence and turns to you. "What do you think?"		96
89	Gaston Martin	"Well, it's your own damn fault," the jolly man remarks. "You, we, the Coalition, Revachol -- whoever you wanna blame -- never finished the job. Officially the Party never surrendered. Of course they still hold influence."		88
90	You	"Nothing. I don't think. I just do."		91
91	René Arnoux	"I'm just so damn sorry it had to be the Coalition..." He isn't really paying attention to your words anymore. "After eight years of fighting those hyenas, boiling cats for food and drinking piss in the mountains..."		42
92	Physical Instrument	Heavy artillery fire you say? That's the best kind of artillery fire. Very interesting.		15
93	You	(Look around) "I understand. I'd bomb this place too."		94
94	René Arnoux	"This place is the damn Beachhead, son," he says, pointing to the bay. "They didn't do it because they didn't like it. They had to soften the commies up first."		22
95	Suggestion	He finds your lack of historic knowledge troubling. A sign of mental deterioration in the proceeding generations.		24
96	Rhetoric	Thinking men have opinions on these things. Present one.		87
97	Drama	Some manner of self-deceit is present in his thinking. Sounds like this Guillaume abandoned him and he doesn't want to admit it.		66
98	Composure	He slouches as he says that. It makes him smaller, admitting they left the king to the mob.		53
99	Empathy	Soon they will forget everything. Him too... Then he chooses anger over melancholy.		68
100	Hand/Eye Coordination	An extremely inadvisable strategy against automatic weapons. Be sure not to make the same mistake.		115

110	Endurance	Something moves in your gut. It's almost like a tug.		45
111	Endurance	That's our guy! The way he speaks about the war and the bygone days -- Kingsman through and through -- ask him how to turn back time!		49
112	René Arnoux			113 114
