11 Industrial Stove The stove is unmoved by your comings and goings.
12 Savoir Faire The lieutenant said you'd need to boil the boots in acid to get the corpse smell out, but this huge pot, industrial dish soap, white vinegar, and patience might do the trick.
  • 14
13 Savoir Faire Getting the corpse residue out of these boots is going to require patience. And also a huge pot full of boiling water, soap, and white vinegar.

19 Industrial Stove A commercial pot draws your attention. It's very large. Gigantic, even. It could be used to make enough stew to feed an entire city. And also to boil a putrid pair of death-boots.
  • 55
20 Industrial Stove There is a variety of soaps and bleaches in the cabinet to the left of the stove. There is also a bottle of white vinegar in the cabinet next to the fridge.
  • 49
21 You The boots are *really* disgusting. Pour some dish soap *and* the bottle of white vinegar into the pot.
  • 42
22 You Soap! That's exactly what I need. Pour lots of dish soap into the pot.
  • 43
23 Industrial Stove The soap bubbles over the rim of the pot -- the water slowly comes to a boil. Variable["whirling.stove_added_soap"]

24 Industrial Stove The strong smell of vinegar forces you to step away from the pot. The water slowly comes to a boil. Variable["whirling.stove_added_soap_and_vinegar"]
  • 25
25 You Wait...
  • 26
26 Industrial Stove Strips of polymer fabric and human tissue separate from the lining of the boots. They float to the bubbling surface.
  • 52
  • 27
27 You Wait some more...
  • 28
28 Industrial Stove The boots look cleaner and cleaner. Those bits of human flesh are beginning to look *cooked*. You can smell it too.
  • 57
29 You A little more...
  • 30
30 Industrial Stove That's it, chef! The boots are as clean as they're going to get. Steam dense with the smell of strange meat disappears into the vent above the stove.
  • 44
31 You Dump the sock and flesh stew -- and examine your new boots!
  • 33
32 Industrial Stove The boots look clean but still smell funky.
  • 54
33 Industrial Stove A pair of real beauties! The boots are shiny, hot and reek of vinegar. Just perfect.
  • 36
34 You Try boiling them again, this time with white vinegar.
  • 37
35 You Endure the stench. It has to come out eventually, right?
  • 33
36 None
  • 14
37 Industrial Stove The strong vinegar odour forces you to take a few steps back from the stove.
  • 38
38 You Wait *even more*...
  • 39
39 Industrial Stove The whole kitchen now smells like white vinegar. But maybe your boots won't smell like a corpse?
  • 40
40 You All right! Dump the water and sniff the boots.
  • 41
41 Industrial Stove A pair of real beauties! The boots are shiny, hot and reek of vinegar. Just perfect.
  • 68
42 Industrial Stove The delicious smells of cheap soap and vinegar waft up from the pot.
  • 51
43 Industrial Stove The bottom of the pot fills with shiny white goo.

  • 21
51 Interfacing Alright now, chef. Light the stove up and boil them.
  • 48
52 You Beautiful.
  • 53
53 Industrial Stove A two course dinner of rotting flesh and hardened ceramic.

55 Esprit de Corps Far away, in the darkness of a makeshift morgue behind Station 41's lazareth, Dr. Nix Gottlieb cuts into the cold, dead feet of a murder victim. The veins are oddly black, he suspects a neurotoxin...

59 Half Light You should taste some.
  • 64
60 You No way, I'm not touching it.
  • 63
61 You Tip your finger in the pot and lick it.
  • 71
62 Industrial Stove The scorching hot 'stew' burns your finger and tastes absolutely vile.
  • 75
63 Half Light Yeah, maybe that's a good habit *not* to include in your roster. Anyways, the boots are coming along nicely.

  • 75
75 Volition You're tasting another human being. You shouldn't.
  • 76
76 Conceptualization Of course it tastes vile. Look at the effort you put in the culinary side of this? Not exactly fine dining, is it?
  • 77
77 Inland Empire You have awakened the *hunger*. There is no turning back now, better invest in a good cook book and stock up on salt.
