2	You	"Yes. What he said."		6
3	You	"I also solved the case. It's solved. All of it."		16
4	You	"Yeah, it was a massacre -- we got wiped. Where the hell were you?!"		5
5	Kim Kitsuragi	"Don't make this harder for yourself," he says in a lowered voice.		6
6	Jean Vicquemare	"Thank you for the input, Lieutenant Kitsuragi. I didn't mean to suggest you didn't handle the situation..."		8
7	Jean Vicquemare	He brushes a stray strand of hair out of his eye and coughs. "You've spent the week with him -- on this case. What is your take?"		23
8	Authority	He thinks of apologizing but decides against it.		7
9	Rhetoric	It's so much better if he does this. A million times better.		6
10	Kim Kitsuragi			11 12

14	You	"The firefight is a trivial matter compared to the greatest discovery of this century."		15
15	Kim Kitsuragi	"Wait, it's better if I..." he says in a lowered voice.		9
16	Kim Kitsuragi	"Detective, it's better if I do that..." he says in a lowered voice.		9
17	Kim Kitsuragi	"He did everything he could," the lieutenant interrupts him. "We did everything we could. The company hired unvetted mercenaries. Lieutenant Du Bois got between them and the locals."		29
18	Kim Kitsuragi			19 20
19	Kim Kitsuragi		Variable["plaza.tribunal_rc_dodge_ruud_shot"] == false	30
20	Kim Kitsuragi		(Variable["plaza.tribunal_rc_dodge_ruud_shot"] == false) == false	22
21	Kim Kitsuragi	"He did so at considerable risk to his own life. He was shot -- not once, but twice. We stopped an execution, not a negotiation. The loss of life was minimal compared to what it could have been."		13
22	Kim Kitsuragi	"He did so at considerable risk to his person. Remember -- he was shot. We stopped an execution, not a negotiation. The loss of life was minimal compared to what it could have been."		13
23	Kim Kitsuragi	"On the case?"		24
24	Jean Vicquemare	"On Lieutenant-Yefreitor Du Bois."		25
25	Kim Kitsuragi			26 27
26	Kim Kitsuragi		SubstanceUsedOnce("alcohol") == false or IsTHCFixed("the_waste_land_of_reality")	39
27	Kim Kitsuragi		(SubstanceUsedOnce("alcohol") == false or IsTHCFixed("the_waste_land_of_reality")) == false	28
28	Kim Kitsuragi	"Well..." A cold gust of wind. He pulls up his collar. "The drinking, the lost gun, also losing his badge -- that's all true. And he's been drinking on the job."		40
29	Esprit de Corps	Here comes the cavalry.		18
30	Kim Kitsuragi			31 32
31	Kim Kitsuragi		Variable["plaza.tribunal_shoulder_wound_avoided_cuirass"]	33
32	Kim Kitsuragi		(Variable["plaza.tribunal_shoulder_wound_avoided_cuirass"]) == false	21
33	Kim Kitsuragi	"He did so at considerable risk to his own life. He was shot, and survived only because of his armour. We stopped an execution, not a negotiation. The loss of life was minimal compared to what it could have been."		13
34	You	"I'm just sorry."		36
35	Kim Kitsuragi	"Stop being sorry for five minutes," he says in a lowered voice.		6
36	Kim Kitsuragi			37 38
37	Kim Kitsuragi		IsTHCPresent("sorry_cop")	35
38	Kim Kitsuragi		(IsTHCPresent("sorry_cop")) == false	6
39	Kim Kitsuragi	"Well..." He pulls up his collar. "The drinking, the gun-losing, also losing the badge -- that's all true. Although he has not been drinking on the job this week."		42
40	Jean Vicquemare	The man sighs. Deeply.		45
41	Kim Kitsuragi	"And then there's the motor carriage in the sea -- something I was not present for..." He breathes in sharply. "But -- despite all this -- he is a great detective. One of the best I've seen, in fact."		104
42	Judit Minot	"See?"		43
43	Jean Vicquemare	"One week."		45
44	Kim Kitsuragi	"Then there's the apocalypse thing. At first I thought it was a joke -- but it's not. He actually thinks the world is about to end. In a bloodletting, or a gloaming. We're about to become vapour, even..."		50
45	Kim Kitsuragi			46 47
46	Kim Kitsuragi		IsHighestCopotype("apocalypse_cop")	44
47	Kim Kitsuragi		(IsHighestCopotype("apocalypse_cop")) == false	61
48	Kim Kitsuragi	"It's worrying. Especially considering his political views. Detective Du Bois is -- as you may know -- a Mazovian socio-economist. He wants to liquidate the ruling class. Which -- again -- for a police officer... is a little odd."		54
49	Kim Kitsuragi	"Then there's the... superstardom. He likes to -- from time to time -- allude to being a superstar law official. At first I thought it was a joke, but... now I'm not so sure. He says disco about twenty times a day."		50
50	Kim Kitsuragi			51 52
51	Kim Kitsuragi		IsHighestPolitical("communist")	48
52	Kim Kitsuragi		(IsHighestPolitical("communist")) == false	92
53	Kim Kitsuragi	"As you can see -- it's about three metres tall. In fact, we think it may be the largest land invertebrate ever discovered."		140
54	Rhetoric	You should yell something.		55
55	Kim Kitsuragi			56 57
56	Kim Kitsuragi		Variable["village.posse_2_rhetoric_yell"]	58 59
57	Kim Kitsuragi		(Variable["village.posse_2_rhetoric_yell"]) == false	91
58	You	"I AM A POLICEMAN OF THE STATE TO COME!"		60
59	You	That's not a good idea.		90
60	Kim Kitsuragi	"The RCM consists of policemen of the state that is. So -- a little discrepancy there." He turns back to Vicquemare.		91
61	Kim Kitsuragi			62 63
62	Kim Kitsuragi		IsHighestCopotype("superstar_cop")	49
63	Kim Kitsuragi		(IsHighestCopotype("superstar_cop")) == false	70
64	Kim Kitsuragi	"It's worrying. Especially in light of his political views. Detective Du Bois is -- as you may know -- a fascist. A far-right woman-hater and, of course, also into race-stuff. Which -- for a police officer --" He shakes his head. "Not good."		65
65	Kim Kitsuragi			66 67
66	Kim Kitsuragi		Variable["church.kim_racism_reconciled"]	68
67	Kim Kitsuragi		(Variable["church.kim_racism_reconciled"]) == false	75
68	Kim Kitsuragi	"I had a major collision with him on the subject. He yielded, and is now striving to be a crypto-fascist. That is: a regular police officer who thinks these things but doesn't say them. So that's... yeah."		75
69	Kim Kitsuragi	"Then there's the... self-flagellation issue. He likes to apologize -- profusely. Making it sound like he's guilty of at least first degree murder. It's not a good communication strategy for an officer. It's..."		50
70	Kim Kitsuragi			71 72
71	Kim Kitsuragi		IsHighestCopotype("sorry_cop")	69
72	Kim Kitsuragi		(IsHighestCopotype("sorry_cop")) == false	73
73	Kim Kitsuragi	"Then there's the boring cop issue. Despite all the obvious and almost grotesque mannerisms and sartorial choices he still insists he isn't characteristic enough. It's..."		50
74	Kim Kitsuragi	"It's odd. Especially in light of his political views. Detective Du Bois is -- as you may know -- a 'hustler'. He..." The lieutenant pinches the root of his nose. "Grinds. He makes the reál. He's a 'visionary' and a 'money engineer', which is just..." He shakes his head.		75
75	Kim Kitsuragi			76 77
76	Kim Kitsuragi		IsTHCPresent("communist")	78
77	Kim Kitsuragi		(IsTHCPresent("communist")) == false	79
78	Kim Kitsuragi	"Odder still -- he is also a Mazovian socio-economist, who believes in liquidating the ruling class. How he reconciles these two points of view, I do not know -- but he is vocal on both of them."		41
79	Kim Kitsuragi			80 81
80	Kim Kitsuragi		IsTHCPresent("revacholian_nationhood") and Variable["village.posse_2_fascist_highest"] == false	98
81	Kim Kitsuragi		(IsTHCPresent("revacholian_nationhood") and Variable["village.posse_2_fascist_highest"] == false) == false	85
82	Kim Kitsuragi	"Odder still -- he is also a full blown fascist. An ultranationalist woman-hater and more than a little racist. How he reconciles these two points of view..." He shrugs. "But he is vocal about both."		41
83	Kim Kitsuragi	"It's just strange. Especially in light of his political views. Detective Du Bois is -- as you may know -- a true blue moralist. A man of the centre. Not prone to political outbursts. Which is commendable. But also... at odds with his behaviour."		75
84	Kim Kitsuragi	"Odder still -- he is also a full blown fascist. An ultranationalist woman-hater and more than a little racist. Which, I guess, goes well with the grind? I do not know -- but he is vocal about both beliefs."		41
85	Kim Kitsuragi			86 87
86	Kim Kitsuragi		IsTHCPresent("ultraliberal") and Variable["village.posse_2_ultraliberal_highest"] == false	101
87	Kim Kitsuragi		(IsTHCPresent("ultraliberal") and Variable["village.posse_2_ultraliberal_highest"] == false) == false	41
88	Kim Kitsuragi	"Odder still -- he is also an ultraliberal 'hustler' who is always..." The lieutenant pinches the root of his nose. "On the grind. How he reconciles these two points of view, I do not know -- but he is vocal about both of them."		41
89	Kim Kitsuragi	"Odder still -- he is also an ultraliberal 'hustler' who is always..." The lieutenant pinches the root of his nose. "On the grind. Which I guess, goes well with some of his racism. I don't know -- he is vocal about both beliefs though."		41
90	Rhetoric	Yes. Let's let the big boys talk.		91
91	None			79
92	Kim Kitsuragi			93 94

103	Kim Kitsuragi		(Variable["village.posse_2_fascist_highest"]) == false	88
104	Kim Kitsuragi	"He can talk human beings into telling him anything. And he doesn't stop. In all the time I've spent with him, he has not once stopped working on the case. He is tireless. Madly driven."		106
105	Kim Kitsuragi	"Well, except that one time when he stopped to sing karaoke. Which -- by the way -- was a valiant effort. He really sang his heart out."		867
106	Kim Kitsuragi			107 108
107	Kim Kitsuragi		Variable["TASK.sing_karaoke_done"]	110
108	Kim Kitsuragi		(Variable["TASK.sing_karaoke_done"]) == false	116
109	Kim Kitsuragi	"Well... except that one time when he stopped to sing karaoke. Which, by the way -- I have to disagree with you, Mr. Vicquemare -- was a valiant effort. He really sang his heart out."		114

112	Kim Kitsuragi		(Variable["whirling.minot_karaoke"]) == false	105
113	Kim Kitsuragi	"Other than that one time, he has tirelessly worked on the case. And he solved it. We have a confession, a murder weapon, and the perpetrator -- locked on the island right now, awaiting transportation."		117
114	Jean Vicquemare	"Okay, he did something..."		113
115	Kim Kitsuragi	"He apprehended a revolutionary brigade who stayed hidden for fifty years, ever since the Revolution; who's probably committed other murders over those years..." He pauses. "Oh -- and he also discovered a new species."		121
116	Kim Kitsuragi	"And he solved it. Near-perfectly. In one week we have: a confession, a murder weapon -- and the perpetrator. Locked on the island right now, awaiting transportation."		117

120	Kim Kitsuragi	"He apprehended a straggler who stayed hidden for fifty years, ever since the Revolution; who's probably committed other murders over those years..." He pauses. "Oh -- and he also discovered a new species."		121
121	Trant Heidelstam	"A... new species?"		122
122	Kim Kitsuragi			123 124
123	Kim Kitsuragi		Variable["seafort.phasmid_touching_hub"]	125
124	Kim Kitsuragi		(Variable["seafort.phasmid_touching_hub"]) == false	126
125	Kim Kitsuragi	"A colossal stick insect. It was on the island, camouflaged as the reeds. It... unfolded from the reeds. I think we may be dealing with the Insulindian phasmid."		134
126	Kim Kitsuragi	"A colossal stick insect -- three metres tall. It's on the island, camouflaged as the reeds. It... unfolded from them. I did not -- unfortunately -- get a photo. But I believe it may have been the Insulindian phasmid."		127
127	Jean Vicquemare	"..."		128
128	Kim Kitsuragi	"I know this sounds fantastic. But I'm a four times decorated lieutenant of the RCM. I do not make up encounters with cryptids to spice up my day. I am very, very sane."		129
129	Jean Vicquemare	"I don't doubt you, lieutenant. If you say it was the Insulindian phasmid then it was the Insulindian Phasmid."		165
130	Kim Kitsuragi	He takes out the photo of the phasmid and shows it to the officers across the yard. The wind blows, flapping the glossy rectangle in his hand.		868
131	Kim Kitsuragi			132 133
132	Kim Kitsuragi		Variable["auto.is_raining"]	137

136	Kim Kitsuragi		(Variable["auto.is_snowing"]) == false	131
137	Kim Kitsuragi	He takes out the photo and shows it to the officers across the yard. Rain comes down, he covers the glossy photo of the phasmid with his hand.		868
138	Kim Kitsuragi	He takes out the photo and shows it to the officers across the yard. Thick white snow falls all around you -- flakes stick to the glossy photo of the phasmid.		868
139	Jean Vicquemare	"Fucking hell is that..." The man cranes his neck, still looking at the photo. "Is this somehow... connected to the case?"		145
140	None			869 141 177 870 142
141	You	"Boom shakalaka, motherfucker!"		139
142	You	Say nothing.		139
143	Jean Vicquemare	He ignores you, still staring at the phasmid. "Fucking hell, is that... Is this somehow connected to the case?"		145
144	Trant Heidelstam	"I must say, this," he points to the photo, "is absolutely extraordinary. It's... I don't even have words for it."		157

147	Kim Kitsuragi		(Variable["seafort.deserter_health_phasmid"] or Variable["seafort.deserter_phasmid_degradation_discussed"]) == false	148
148	Kim Kitsuragi	"The killer did not seem to be aware of the phasmid's presence. Exhibiting a strange, atypical dementia, he fell into a stupor after its appearance. He became near-catatonic."		162
149	Kim Kitsuragi	"Detective?" He turns to you.		150
150	None			151 152
151	You	"Boom. Boom. Boom."		154
152	You	"Khm... yes. I believe the pheromone it emits may be responsible for the killer's mental degradation."		153
153	Kim Kitsuragi	"The old man was not aware of the phasmid's presence. Exhibiting a strange, atypical dementia, he fell into a stupor after its appearance. He became near-catatonic."		155
154	Kim Kitsuragi	"Yes -- but also..."		152
155	Judit Minot	"So it is connected...?"		171
156	Jean Vicquemare	"..."		144
157	Jean Vicquemare	"Yes. It really does make it hard to fire the drunk..." His tired eyes follow the photo as the lieutenant puts it away.		159
158	You	"So what do you say? Wanna take this hot shit back?" (Point to yourself.)		866
159	Empathy	This is a very, very sad man who has just seen something that's made him forget his sadness.		931
160	You	"Boom. Boom. Boom."		163
161	You	"Khm... yes, the phasmid may have contributed to his mental state in some way. Over the years."		155
162	None			160 161 164
163	Kim Kitsuragi	"Yes -- but also..."		161 164
164	You	"It's probably not connected per se -- but the perpetrator knew of its existence."		155
165	None			168 167 871 166
166	You	Say nothing.		169
167	You	"It's incredible. But it was real."		170
168	You	"Boom shakalaka."		170
169	Jean Vicquemare	"By god... is it somehow connected to the case?"		145
170	Jean Vicquemare	He pays you no heed. "Lieutenant -- is it somehow connected to the case?"		145

172	Kim Kitsuragi		Variable["seafort.phasmid_touching_hub"]	156
173	Kim Kitsuragi		(Variable["seafort.phasmid_touching_hub"]) == false	174
174	Trant Heidelstam	"We could order a search. I could get people from EPIS on the island, entomologists, doctors. There must be signs of it in the reeds -- if we found the Insulindian phasmid, well -- that would be absolutely exceptional. The PR value alone..."		176
175	None			178 179 180 188 187 181 182 184 183 839 158
176	Rhetoric	There! You need to make your case -- now. The floor is all yours, he prepared it well.		175
177	You	"So -- as you can see, I'm a pretty okay detective."		143
178	You	"Khm... I also started a night club. In the church."	Variable["TASK.establish_church_dance_club_done"]	326
179	You	"Also, the phasmid was female. The reeds are its nest."	IsKimHere()	333
180	You	"The killer -- Lilianovich Dros -- we have a strong motive for him."		498
181	You	"And I also fixed the strike situation."	Variable["TASK.solve_the_strike_deadlock_done"]	775
182	You	"There was also a dead man -- on the boardwalk. A missing person I found."	Variable["TASK.identify_corpse_boardwalk_done"] or Variable["TASK.report_corpse_wo_taking_main_task_done"]	860
183	You	"It may only be a small thing, but I found a man's jacket!"	IsKimHere() == false and Variable["TASK.find_idiot_doom_spiral_jacket_done"]	833
184	You	"I also looked into the mystery of the Doomed Commercial Area."	Variable["TASK.doomed_investigation"]	454
185	You	"I think it reproduces by parthenogenesis."	Variable["coast.morell_parthenogenesis_hub_reached"] or Variable["seafort.phasmid_parthenogenesis"]	339
186	Jean Vicquemare	"You're right. It's is a small thing." He looks around. "Does anyone care? About a jacket? No one?"		823
187	You	"The previous head of the Débardeurs' Union was assassinated by our killer."	Variable["seafort.deserter_rc_logic_link_between_des_and_edgar_true"]	754
188	You	"You have to believe me. There was a giant phasmid on the island."	IsKimHere() == false	668
189	You	"The curse turned out to be possibly entroponetical. Part of my larger investigation -- into Martinaise itself."	Variable["church.soona_talked_about_pale"]	488
190	Kim Kitsuragi	It doesn't look like the lieutenant wishes you to push this angle further.		191
191	Esprit de Corps	'Cut it out' is indeed what he is thinking.		898
192	Kim Kitsuragi			193 194
193	Kim Kitsuragi		IsKimHere()	190
194	Kim Kitsuragi		(IsKimHere()) == false	494
195	Cuno	"Yo -- Imma stop you right there, fuck-face. It's Cuno-time."		872
196	Cuno	"No." He does not take the order. "Cuno's going all in."		208
197	Kim Kitsuragi			198 199

199	Kim Kitsuragi		(IsCunoInParty()) == false	285
200	None			201 202
201	You	"Cuno -- Shush."		196
202	You	"I did everything I could. The company had hired unvetted..."		203
203	Cuno	"No." He stops you. "You've explained enough, pig. Cuno takes care of this shit now."		873
204	Cuno	"First of all, yo -- those guys were all f**ts. The guys in the armour? Fts. The Union guys? F*ts. So yeah --" He stares Vicquemare in the eye. "Suck Cuno's dick. You don't know* me."		205
205	Cuno	"You don't know what happened here. You don't know this shit. Automatic fucking weapons. Urban battleground shit. Battle lines drawn in blood. Blood Meridian. You don't know this shit."		206
206	Cuno	"Now -- Cuno wasn't there. Right -- you getting this? Cuno was breaking it up with Cuno's main bitch C. Parting-of-the-ways shit. But when Cuno got there -- pig had fucking cleaned up. Blood and ruin."		207
207	Cuno	"Smoked all those dinky fuckers. Saved this shit -- Martinaise shit. I see he's mournin' and shit.... His main pig got semi-wasted. Sent to the boo-boo-mobile -- Cuno steps up. Cuno fucking FILLS those shoes. Big boy shoes -- Detective Cuno."		665
208	Half Light	Oh no.... all in.		204
209	Cuno	"Yo, Cuno feels like you weren't really listening to Cuno." He drills his left temple with his index finger. "You were hearin' -- but you weren't listenin'. F**y fg and the armour boys came to Martinaise to fuck shit up."		211
210	Jean Vicquemare	"Are you done?"		209
211	Cuno	"Hardie boys or whatever the fuck they are -- they were tellin' everyone and their mom how they wasted one of those armour fucks. It was always gonna go down like that. My pig stepped up -- got fucked in the leg for it. Sacrifice style."		223
212	Jean Vicquemare	"Yes. I understand. He was in the fight."		213
213	Cuno	"Second -- you dinky fucking asshole. This pig right here," he points to you, "this oink-oink motherfucker solved that shit. On Death Island. Case solved. Go home, or fuck off."		214
214	None			910 221 215 216 217
215	You	"Yes. Go home or fuck off."		218
216	You	"Look -- point is, we solved the case."		219
217	You	"Look -- point is, we saved as many people as we could."		236
218	Judit Minot	"Lieutenant. Really... I..."		224
219	Cuno	"Yeah -- some fucked up grandpa did it. Fuckin' grandpa in the woods or some shit. Old shit. Cuno doesn't know about that. Look -- the REAL shit here is..."		220
220	You	"It was a straggler -- from the Revolution. Who's stayed in hiding for 50 years. I found him."		227
221	You	"Cuno, if you're going to interrupt -- make it snappier."	Variable["village.posse_2_rhet_cuno_shorter"] and Variable["village.posse_2_cuno_snappy"] == false and Variable["village.posse_said_cuno_not_ten_but_twelve"] == false	222
222	Cuno	"I'll make it tight, pig. Don't worry, the Cunn is on it."		226
223	Rhetoric	Not bad, Cuno. Could be a little shorter though.		212
224	Esprit de Corps	Don't think it's a good idea to let him speak.		230
225	None			214

352	Trant Heidelstam	"Of course. As I said, I'm only guessing. I didn't see it." He pauses, turning something over in his head. "It must be robust, if it can move a whole helmet with its limbs..."		919

388	Trant Heidelstam	"Incredible..." he repeats, turning to Vicquemare. "It's a toughie that you don't have a photo. This would look very, very flashy in the papers. None of it says vigilante murderers to me at all. Great PR."		389
