8 Kim Kitsuragi "There is no use arguing with me. You will die if you don't." His voice is pressing: "DRINK."
  • 11
9 Limbic System *Beeaautiful*... Believe me, stupid ape, its lack of beauty was *not* the problem.
  • 93
10 Volition There really *is* no use arguing with him. This is him exerting the reserves of authority he usually withholds. You can't even try to resist. All you can do is...

  • 69
17 Ancient Reptilian Brain Yeah, man, what was that about?
  • 93
18 You No, it was beautiful!

19 Limbic System It didn't smell *nice*. It smelled like BETRAYAL.
  • 36
20 You "No." Push it away.
  • 22
21 Ancient Reptilian Brain ...bloated corpse of the past, resurfacing?
  • 18
  • 27
22 Kim Kitsuragi "Suit yourself." He caps the canister, uninterested in your petulance. With his brow furrowed he asks:

  • 21
24 Coupris Kineema The water is cold, silvery -- the stuff of *life itself* as it pours down your parched throat. The pounding in your head recedes, the darkness parts.
  • 26
25 Ancient Reptilian Brain Don't prod at it, it will start moving again.
  • 93
26 Kim Kitsuragi "Drink." He tilts the canister. "You haven't drunk water in two days. Did you know the human body is not made to survive on alcohol *alone*? You need a secondary form of hydration."
  • 28
27 You Yes, that.
  • 25
28 Rhetoric Actually, beer and cider have *loads* of water in them.

29 Ancient Reptilian Brain There is nothing.
  • 34
30 You "You know, in the Franconigerian centuries, the quality of water was so bad it was sometimes more hygienic to drink beer." Variable["inventory.ledger_rhet_beer_cider_water"]
  • 33
31 You Drink.
  • 35
32 You There was something about a bow collector too... Variable["inventory.ledger_concept_bow_collector"]
  • 17
33 Kim Kitsuragi "But these are not the *Franconigerian centuries*. We are in the present. It is safe to sometimes drink water here." He hands you the canister.

34 Ancient Reptilian Brain Again.
  • 43
  • 41
35 Coupris Kineema With greedy gulps, you down half a litre of cold water. Some of it spills on the driver's seat -- the lieutenant pays no heed to it.

48 Kim Kitsuragi "You were reading your paperwork. Then you passed out. I carried you to my Kineema... to take you to a hospital. Then you came to."
  • 57
49 Ancient Reptilian Brain Yeah, man. Fuck *everything*. Total blackout forever.
  • 36
50 Kim Kitsuragi "There was a call on the shortwave: officer passed out in Martinaise." He furrows his brow. "I had a feeling it would be you. I'm glad I got here in time."
  • 57
51 You "Let's solve this case." [Leave.]
  • 3
52 Kim Kitsuragi "What happened?"
  • 37
53 Ancient Reptilian Brain Nothing, sad brother. No treachery. Just blackout.
  • 41
54 None
  • 52
55 Ancient Reptilian Brain Well, *almost* nothing. There is the ground below you. That's still there. And the small light that's on -- fluttering -- somewhere in the Basal Ganglia.
  • 64

64 You Who's that?
  • 63
65 You Enough... just lie there, motionless.
  • 67
66 Kim Kitsuragi "I don't know. It could have been quite a while." He looks you in the eye, as if inspecting your mental state.
  • 68
67 Ancient Reptilian Brain You think they would let you -- until you disintegrate into biomolecules? No, someone is breathing on your face now, inspecting your pupils. Stupid idiot.

69 Ancient Reptilian Brain There is no Voyager Road. There are no roads. No houses. No lights in the windows. It's all on *pause*.
  • 93
70 You Smelled like betrayal.
  • 49
71 You "I... fuck it." Start climbing out of the motor-car. (Conclude.)
  • 76
72 You And who was *that*?
  • 87
73 Kim Kitsuragi "That does sometimes happen." He hands you the remains of your ledger.
  • 95
74 Kim Kitsuragi "Right." he hands you the waterlogged remains of your ledger.
  • 78
75 You Nice and quiet.
  • 83
76 Kim Kitsuragi "Good." He hands you the waterlogged remains of your ledger.
  • 78
77 Limbic System Ah, yes. And in the olfactory system they call it The Apricot Chewing Gum Scented One. It's unhealthy of them to linger on it so. But -- as they say -- what do you do?

  • 12
83 Ancient Reptilian Brain Is it? The world is gone, you're no longer reacting to outward stimuli. Yet still...
  • 94
84 Ancient Reptilian Brain Your name is *fuck all*.
  • 108
85 You What is that? It's cold...
  • 6
86 Limbic System Your name is *Passed Out on the Ground*. Dragged around by one of the other evil apes. They're taking you somewhere...

94 Limbic System ...a bitter, caustic sense of loss remains. Even in the darkness, great sorrows slip in the water -- slimy.
  • 99
  • 97
95 Rhetoric He replies with such understanding it's as if the burnt out ruins of the past were an occupational hazard -- athlete's foot for cops.
  • 78
96 Coupris Kineema In the upholstered cabin of Lieutenant Kitsuragi's motor carriage, seated in the driver's basket. The air is thick with leatherworks and heavy fuel oil. Cold water runs down your chin.
  • 105
97 You No, I was *cool*. I'm cool.
  • 98
98 Ancient Reptilian Brain The cool when you're dead, brother.
  • 106
99 You Yeah, that's the stuff!
  • 106
100 You ...where am I?
  • 96
101 Limbic System He speaks of the *sickening* longing, the unwell emotion. Even in the darkness he's grasping for it, still trying to hold on to the great sorrows slipping in the water -- slimy.
