2	Joyce Messier	"Joyce L. Messier. I represent the board of Wild Pines -- the owners of the harbour. You must be from the RCM..." She steps closer and holds out her hand over the railing.		5
3	You	Shake her hand.		12
4	You	Don't shake her hand.		20

8	Joyce Messier		(IsKimHere()) == false	2
9	You	"Joyce L? What does the 'L' stand for?"		10
10	Joyce Messier	"Leyton, my maiden name." Her bony hand dangles from the sleeve of her oversized raincoat.		11
11	None			5
12	Joyce Messier	"I'm glad to see you here." Her grip is tight and cold.		19
13	Joyce Messier			14 15
14	Joyce Messier		Variable["whirling.kimintro_did_not_shake_hand"]	16
15	Joyce Messier		(Variable["whirling.kimintro_did_not_shake_hand"]) == false	17
16	Kim Kitsuragi	"I'm afraid my partner doesn't shake hands. Please don't take offence."		18
17	Joyce Messier	"I'm glad to see you here." The woman and the lieutenant exchange a brief handshake.		24
18	Joyce Messier	"None taken, officer." They exchange a brief handshake. "Either way, I'm glad you're both here now."		25
19	Interfacing	Like steel. There is strength there. If she wanted, she could sink her nails deep into your skin.		25
20	Joyce Messier			21 22
21	Joyce Messier		IsKimHere()	13
22	Joyce Messier		(IsKimHere()) == false	23
23	Joyce Messier	"I'm glad to see you here." She withdraws her small hand and picks up her cup.		24
24	Empathy	She is unfazed by your rudeness, probably chocking it up to local custom.		25
25	Joyce Messier	"I was dispatched to handle a strike, not a lynching. Anything I can do to assist the RCM in this matter, I will, gladly."		246
26	None			790 699 871 1084 36 446 38 1086 33 872 1077 34 35 922 27

28	Joyce Messier	"Of course, detective -- take care."

30	Joyce Messier		Variable["pier.joyce_hub_reached"]	1253
31	Joyce Messier		(Variable["pier.joyce_hub_reached"]) == false	1228
32	Joyce Messier	"You're back. Good." She looks at the ripples on the water's surface. "What can I help you with -- not an umbrella, I hope. I don't need one myself, you see..." She pats her wet raincoat.		1513
33	You	"What can you tell me about this lynching?"	Variable["pier.joyce_goal_post_lock"] == false	873
34	You	"You seem smart, I need someone to give me a low-down on this... reality we're in."	Variable["pier.joyce_wise_sounding"] and Variable["TASK.get_reality_lowdown"] and Variable["pier.joyce_realityhub_reached"] == false	1060
35	You	"You seem rich. Can I have some money?"	Variable["pier.joyce_vol_white_uncovered"] == false and Variable["TASK.pay_for_the_damages"] and Variable["TASK.pay_for_the_damages_done"] == false	896
36	You	"You're on a boat."		1080
37	Joyce Messier	"Joyce L. Messier. I represent the board of Wild Pines -- the owners of the harbour. You gentlemen must be from the RCM..." She steps closer and holds out her hand over the railing.		5
38	You	"What can you tell me about this strike?"		1066
39	You	"What gave me away?"		40
40	Joyce Messier	"Nothing, honestly. I've said it to every drunk in town and you're the first one who's responded."		1244
41	Joyce Messier	"Why, yes I am..." She looks at the deck under her feet. Green and white sails flutter overhead.		78
42	Joyce Messier			43 44

49	Joyce Messier		IsEvening() or IsNight()
50	Joyce Messier		(IsEvening() or IsNight()) == false
51	Joyce Messier	"Good afternoon, officer, I'm Joyce." She extends her hand in greeting.		6
52	You	"RCM -- what is that? I'm a little foggy here."	Variable["tc.rcm_origins"] == false	53
53	Joyce Messier	"Uhm..." She seems confused. "I meant you -- the Revachol Citizens Militia. The police."		11
54	Conceptualization	She hasn't actually said it to every drunk in town. It was spoken in jest.		11
55	Joyce Messier	"The information I'm to share with you includes sensitive trade secrets. For the sake of my employer, I have to ask for your name and badge number."		56
56	Joyce Messier			57 58
57	Joyce Messier		IsKimHere()	59
58	Joyce Messier		(IsKimHere()) == false	60
59	Kim Kitsuragi	"Of course, ma'am. We should have introduced ourselves..." The lieutenant hands her a piece of blue plastic. "I'm Lieutenant Kitsuragi, from Precinct 57..."		63
60	None			596 611 597 598
61	Kim Kitsuragi	"And this is my colleague from Precinct 41." He points to you. "I'm afraid he doesn't have his badge at the moment. I hope mine will suffice."		62
62	Joyce Messier	"How curious." She returns the lieutenant's badge and turns to you. "Why is that, detective?"		618
63	Joyce Messier			64 65
64	Joyce Messier		CheckItem("badge")	617
65	Joyce Messier		(CheckItem("badge")) == false	66

68	Joyce Messier		(Variable["cargo.evrart_kim_heard_name"]) == false	1410
69	Kim Kitsuragi	"And this is my colleague from Precinct 41, Detective Du Bois." He points to you. "I'm afraid Harry doesn't have his badge at the moment. I hope mine will suffice."		70
70	Joyce Messier	"Oh. And what happened to yours, detective?" She returns the lieutenant's badge and turns to you.		618
71	None			72 73 74 620 621
72	You	Why should I blame it on an artist?	Variable["pier.joyce_drama_artists"]	1352
73	You	"Some artist types stole my badge. It was a mistake to trust them."	Variable["pier.joyce_drama_artists"] and Variable["pier.joyce_joked_clowns"] == false	75
74	You	"Some damn clown stole it from me. It's a long story."	Variable["pier.joyce_heard_clowns"] and Variable["pier.joyce_joked_artists"] == false	628
75	Joyce Messier	"You mean someone stole your badge?" Her brow is slightly arched.		619
76	None			71
77	None			26
78	None			209 79 80 81 82
79	You	"Not a lot of people on boats, are there?"		83
80	You	"Does she have a name?"		168
81	You	"Do you have a licence for this boat?"		132
82	You	"I think I have a handle on the boat thing." (Conclude.)		125
83	Joyce Messier	"Of course there are." She looks around. "We are on an archipelago. How else are you supposed to get around?"		131
84	You	"Wait, we're on an archipelago?" (Look around.)		128
85	You	"Uhm, Caillou? I thought we were in Revachol."	Variable["tc.that_in_revachol"] and Variable["pier.joyce_cyclo_caillou_island"] == false	87
86	You	"Wait, I thought Le Calliou was one big island?"	Variable["pier.joyce_cyclo_caillou_island"]	89
87	Joyce Messier	"We are. And the city of Revachol is on the island of Le Caillou."		95
88	Encyclopedia	Technically, the neighbouring Ozonne and Face-à-La-Mer island groups are archipelagos, while Le Caillou, by contrast, is a single, fertile land mass, the fourth largest island in the world. It is not an archipelago.		96
89	Joyce Messier	"Okay." She gives you a crooked smile. "If you want to get technical. The point is we're all on islands here. And sail is still the most expedient way to get from one island to another. Especially when you're in a hurry to resolve a strike."		95
90	You	"Still. I haven't seen anyone else sail a boat around here."		91
91	Joyce Messier	"I haven't seen anyone else drive a souped-up Coupris Kineema motor carriage either."		92
92	Joyce Messier			93 94
93	Joyce Messier		IsKimHere()	97
94	Joyce Messier		(IsKimHere()) == false	100
95	None			96
96	None			85 86 90 123
97	Kim Kitsuragi	"Actually," the lieutenant becomes defensive, "that motor carriage has been specially issued to serve as a patrol and pursuit vehicle."		98
98	Kim Kitsuragi	"It's for crossing long distances in the Greater Revachol Industrial Harbour. It's not a toy."		99
99	Joyce Messier	"Neither is this." The woman pats the cabin hardtop. "A toy, I mean. It's a machine for crossing long distances in the bay of Revachol. Between the city and the islands."		121
100	Joyce Messier			101 102
101	Joyce Messier		Variable["plaza.kineema_intro_done"]	104
102	Joyce Messier		(Variable["plaza.kineema_intro_done"]) == false	114
103	You	"That's not mine. It belongs to my partner, Lieutenant Kitsuragi."		105
104	Logic	She's referring to Lieutenant Kitsuragi's motor carriage.		106
105	Joyce Messier	"No matter whose it is. A motor carriage is just a tool. You need it to do your job -- as I do mine. It's just a means of getting where you need to go."		118
106	None			103 111 112
107	You	"You lost me there -- I have no idea what a Coupris Kineema is."		108
108	Joyce Messier	"Pardon me, it's not especially relevant."		1345
109	You	"There it is again -- the name of that infernal machine! I woke up to that sound, you know?"	Variable["whirling.kineema_TH_check_success"]	110
110	Joyce Messier	"Hmm, I suppose that one does have a rather loud electrical engine." She does not quite understand what you meant. "A specific drone. In any case...."		1345
111	You	"I drove my motor carriage into the sea, you know. It sank."	Variable["coast.sunken_dialogue_done"] and Variable["pier.joyce_said_not_yours_kineema"]	116
112	You	Let it be.		113
113	Joyce Messier	"In any case..." She takes a sip from her thermal cup.		117
114	None			109 107
115	None			106
116	Joyce Messier	"What a surprise," she says, not the least bit surprised. "That is one disadvantage of a motor carriage relative to a sloop like this one." The sloop bobs gently in the water.		1345
117	None			218
118	Joyce Messier			119 120
119	Joyce Messier		Variable["coast.sunken_dialogue_done"] and Variable["pier.joyce_said_not_yours_kineema"]	115
120	Joyce Messier		(Variable["coast.sunken_dialogue_done"] and Variable["pier.joyce_said_not_yours_kineema"]) == false	117
121	None			218
122	You	"What do you mean -- archipelago?"		127
123	You	"Understood. About this boat of yours..." (Back off.)		129
124	Joyce Messier	"Of course. The situation is precarious."		26
125	Joyce Messier	"Good," she takes a sip of her thermal cup.		126
126	None			26
127	Joyce Messier	"I mean we are on Le Caillou, are we not?" She raises her brow.		88
128	Joyce Messier	"Yes, we are." She raises her brow. "We are on Le Caillou."		88
129	Joyce Messier	She nods attentively.		130
130	None			78
131	Empathy	There is a pinch of defensiveness in her voice, but it is playful.		84 122
132	Joyce Messier	"Officer, I assure you I'm a highly qualified pleasure craft operator."		133
133	Perception (Sight)	The crowns of her teeth are porcelain, white as the boat's hull as she smiles.		1384
134	Joyce Messier	"I just renewed its safety inspection last month, officer. It is completely seaworthy. In fact, it's taken part in not one, but two Insulindic regattas, and finished once."		147 141 136
135	You	"Can I see your licence?"		134
136	You	"That's good enough for me."		153
137	Joyce Messier			138 139
138	Joyce Messier		IsKimHere()	140
139	Joyce Messier		(IsKimHere()) == false	198
140	Kim Kitsuragi	"Actually, you don't."		142 143
141	You	"Still need to see a license, ma'am."		137
142	You	"I'm pretty sure I do. I police."		144
143	You	"What do you mean?"		1343
144	Kim Kitsuragi	"It is a little known fact among those who police that the Wayfarer Act specifically denies the RCM the authority to demand anyone's operator license."		159
145	You	"Wait, exactly how little known is this fact?"		146
146	Kim Kitsuragi	"I was just being polite -- even schoolchildren know the Wayfarer Act."		154 150 149 1168
147	You	"What happened the other time?"		148
148	Joyce Messier	"The other time I would have finished the race were it not for an urgent work matter, much like the one I'm on now."		141 136
149	You	"Makes sense, I guess. I mean, look at me!"		152
150	You	"So we can't pull over random civilians and demand their papers? That's weak."		151
151	Kim Kitsuragi	"Unless it's their passport, no. Do you want to ask for the lady's passport?"		156
152	Kim Kitsuragi	"No need to resort to self pity, detective. You can still ask for her passport."		156
153	Joyce Messier	"Why wouldn't it be? This is Revachol. Wayfarer act and all. Anyone can drive a boat."		1161
154	You	"More like the Anarchy Act in my opinion."		155
155	Kim Kitsuragi	"No need to politicize this. You may still ask for the lady's passport."		156
156	Authority	You need to save face if you want her respect. DEMAND that passport!		157 158
157	You	"Yes. I'm going to need to see your passport."		169
158	You	"No need."		170
159	Encyclopedia	The Wayfarer Act is one of the few pieces of legislation governing human interaction in the Revachol Zone of Control, along with the Emergency Trade and Aliments Acts.		160
160	Joyce Messier			161 162
161	Joyce Messier		Variable["pier.joyce_cyclo_wayfarer"]	164 165
162	Joyce Messier		(Variable["pier.joyce_cyclo_wayfarer"]) == false	1162
163	Encyclopedia	It's one of the foundational laws in Revachol, designed to limit the authority of local institutions. Part of it prohibits the RCM from requesting most documents and licenses without permission from a Coalition representative...		167
164	You	The what now?		163
165	You	Yawn		166
166	Encyclopedia	The one time this busted up cabbage has something useful for your job you just want to stare at some boat. Fine. Knock yourself out.		1162
167	Rhetoric	It's a law that keeps Revachol what it is -- in limbo.		1162
168	Joyce Messier	"The boat? No. It is called Cor-de-Leite '19 -- because that's the type of sloop it is."		187
169	Joyce Messier	"Of course." She searches the pockets of her raincoat, producing a bundle of documents in a sealed plastic bag.		890
170	Joyce Messier	She nods politely. "Of course. Any more questions about the boat, sir?"		172
171	None			78
172	Suggestion	The graciousness of her response makes you feel glad you didn't hassle her about her papers for no reason.		171
173	You	Look at her passport.		175
174	You	"Everything appears to be in order." (Give the documents back.)		178
175	Joyce Messier	The woman is silent, smiling while the waves lap against the hull. In your hand, under the plastic -- a light blue passport saying REPUBLIC OF VESPER. The coat of arms has a lion and an ostrich, sejant.		181
176	You	Look at the photo page.		177
177	Joyce Messier	The woman -- born in the year 3 in the Commune of Revachol -- smiles at you, face adorned with frown lines and crow's feet. The photo is recent. The name reads Rejoyce Leyton-Messier.		893
178	Joyce Messier	She nods and returns the plastic bag to her coat.		171
179	You	"You're from Vesper?"	Variable["pier.joyce_vesper_and_rejoyce_seen"]	180
180	Joyce Messier	"My husband is. I have dual citizenship. A Vespertine is handier when travelling."		893
181	Encyclopedia	The Republic of Vesper, formerly the Republic of Vesper-Messina, was once a dual kingdom. An amicable parting of ways produced two constitutional monarchies. Vesper, the richer of the two, is an Occidental nation known for its proximity to the pale and its exotic financial derivatives.		1465
182	You	Anything else?		183
183	Encyclopedia	It is a stable country, and yet there has always been something ominous about its perfect stability, its place at the edge of the Mundi isola, overlooking the Ubi Sunt? isles fracturing into the Great Unrest of the pale.		176
184	None			1210 1224 186
185	You	"How about... Dolores."		189
186	You	"How do you like it?" (Conclude.)		192
187	Inland Empire	The word it feels strange. Such a beautiful boat deserves a proper name...		1335
188	Shivers	A breeze ripples through the sails and tugs at your hair. Below, the sleek, fishlike shape of the hull parts the water. Beneath that -- a resounding darkness. You're reminded of something, or someone...		184
189	Joyce Messier	"Why Dolores?"		1469
190	You	"I don't know... feels pretty."		191
191	Joyce Messier	"Hmm. Well, it means nothing to me. I think I'll stick with the factory name. But thank you for the suggestion."		1340
192	Joyce Messier	"My sloop? I like it a lot." Her lips curl into a wry smile. "It's the eel's hips, baby."		193
193	Joyce Messier			194 195
194	Joyce Messier		IsKimHere()	196
195	Joyce Messier		(IsKimHere()) == false	197
196	Kim Kitsuragi	"I'm enjoying this part of the interview -- it has so little to do with the murder we're investigating."		1431
197	None			78
198	Joyce Messier	"Technically speaking, you don't."		202 200
199	Joyce Messier	"Surely you're aware that under the Wayfarer Act the RCM doesn't have the authority to demand anyone's operator license. Freedom of movement and all that."		159
200	You	"What do you mean?"		199
201	Joyce Messier	"Then certainly you must know that under the Wayfarer Act the RCM doesn't have the authority to demand anyone's operator license. Freedom of movement and all that."		159
202	You	"I'm pretty sure I do. I police."		201
203	Joyce Messier	"You may still ask for my passport." She strikes a reconciliatory tone...		208
204	You	"Makes sense, I guess. I mean, look at me."		203
205	You	"So I can't arbitrarily pull people over and ask for their papers?"		207
206	You	"More like Anarchy Act in my opinion."		207
207	Joyce Messier	"You may still ask to see my passport," she says, trying to strike a conciliatory tone. "That I'm obliged to share with you."		157 156
208	Empathy	Laced with just a touch of pity.		156
209	You	"Let's talk about the economics of this boat you're on." (Go in for the kill.)	Variable["pier.joyce_rhetoric_boat_attack"]	210
210	Joyce Messier	"Oh my, the E-word." She crosses her arms. "You mean to say that it's a symbol of conspicuous consumption? That I'm a member of the ruling class."		211
211	None			1455 1456 212 213
212	You	"No -- it's a symbol of our subjugation to foreign capital. The bad kind of capital."		214
213	You	"Forget about it. I was out of line."		235
214	Joyce Messier			215 216
215	Joyce Messier		IsKimHere()	217
216	Joyce Messier		(IsKimHere()) == false	1539
217	Kim Kitsuragi	"Detective, may I remind you that Mrs. Messier is a professional negotiator?" He doesn't look like he thinks you'll best her in single combat.		1539
218	Rhetoric	You need to make this lady admit she's only riding around on this boat because she's rich.		230
219	You	Uhm... why?		221
220	You	Yes, I do!		225
221	Rhetoric	Why what? Stop thinking. Take her down.		222 223 224
222	You	It'll come off like I'm envious. And I'm not.		228
223	You	Why am I even thinking about this? I have police work to do.		229
224	You	Actually, yes. I need to nail her for this.		227
225	Rhetoric	You have the guns and the ammo! Take this klassenfeind down!		226
226	None			78
227	Rhetoric	Charge! You've got the guns and the ammo.		226
228	Rhetoric	You're not? Okay then, just keep on admiring the boat then, unburdened by envy.		226
229	Rhetoric	Have it your way.		226
230	Joyce Messier			231 232

233	None			78
234	None			78
235	Joyce Messier	"Think nothing of it, officer." She runs her hand along the fibreglass cabin. "What's a little class conflict between friends?"		234
236	You	Fire back -- quick!		237
237	Joyce Messier			238 239
238	Joyce Messier		Variable["pier.joyce_reaction_red_performed_comeback"]	244
239	Joyce Messier		(Variable["pier.joyce_reaction_red_performed_comeback"]) == false	245
240	None			236 241
241	You	"Fine. Anyway..." (Change the subject.)		242
242	Joyce Messier	"Yes -- anyway." She adjusts her hair. The permanent wave in her auburn locks radiates victory.		243
243	None			78
244	Reaction Speed	Your synapses flash!		258 259 256
245	Reaction Speed	Uhm...		257
246	Joyce Messier			247 248
247	Joyce Messier		IsKimHere()	249
248	Joyce Messier		(IsKimHere()) == false	77
249	Kim Kitsuragi	"That is good to hear, madam." He opens his notebook. "My colleague will take the lead on this interview. I should let you know that he's recovering from an unusual medical episode -- very unusual -- but I can assure you of his ultimate competency."		250
250	Joyce Messier			251 252
251	Joyce Messier		Variable["pier.cindy_kims_plan_of_action"]	1462
252	Joyce Messier		(Variable["pier.cindy_kims_plan_of_action"]) == false	254
253	Reaction Speed	It happens quicker than a shooting star -- but did the lieutenant just wink at you?		1243
254	Empathy	There's a trace of irony in his voice. Mischief even. The lieutenant is hatching some scheme.		255
255	Rhetoric	He's trying to signal something. He wants you to play up your condition.		253
256	You	"There doesn't seem to be much space left with this giant pleasure craft docked in the way."		262
257	You	"Uhm..."		275
258	You	"This house was built before the Revolution."	Variable["TASK.ask_about_ruby_in_village"] == false	264
259	You	"Funny, I don't see any other eel's heels around."	Variable["pier.joyce_eels_hips"]	260
260	Joyce Messier	"You mean eel's hips -- but point taken. I am a bourgeois woman and this is my fast, light, interminably bourgeois boat."		261

522	Joyce Messier	"Centuries of care, deliberation -- and madness -- have gone into this endeavour. Vessels pass through the Great Unrest to re-emerge with apricots in tow. The logic of the system is totalizing... It's taken everything from its employees to build it."		531

524	Joyce Messier	She nods, forcefully: "There are no minor cogs in the system. Each terminal must be accounted for, lest the entire system break. Every hiccup in such a system means thousands lose their jobs -- the world over. I'm here to assure that doesn't happen."		1349
525	Joyce Messier	"A conglomerate the size of Wild Pines is like a shark -- if it stops moving and growing it will die. Then what becomes of those 72,000 families? It is a tremendous responsibility."		528

531	None			528
532	Joyce Messier	"We built this district," she says, calmly.		537
533	Joyce Messier	"All the best parts of it. Rue de Saint-Ghislaine with its bastions, the plaza's Meteoran mosaic. Even some of the old street lamps have been put back thanks to investments from the WP." She points behind you where the seawall rises.		540
534	You	"It probably helps to start out with a royal monopoly."	Variable["pier.joyce_cyclo_wildpines"] and Variable["pier.joyce_why_martinaise"]	535
535	Joyce Messier	"You know more than you let on." She takes a sip and looks you over afresh. "Certainly it helped, but most of the original indotribes have failed or been absorbed. To survive Wild Pines had to grow and adapt. No suzerain did that."		531
536	Joyce Messier	"You mean aside from being the terminal's legal owners?" She gives you a little smile. "Who are responsible for moving eight percent of the world's cargo?"		538 539 530
537	Rhetoric	We -- there it is. She owns up to it.		533
538	You	"Eight percent of all cargo in the world? That's quite the endeavour indeed."		524
539	You	"You don't keep it moving -- the workers do. The company is nothing without them."		532
540	Joyce Messier	"Before Martinaise was swallowed by the industrial harbour, even before it was part of Revachol -- long before Terminal B was erected here -- the Pines built it as a resort for its Revacholian employees."		541
541	Joyce Messier	"A company getaway. For a weekend or a summer holiday. Then came the Revolution, but that's another matter..." She takes a sip. "I'm here to make sure the Pines can fulfil their responsibilities to the place they built."		1349
542	Rhetoric	She's being sarcastic. Don't take her performance literally.		543 544
543	You	"Really?"		545
544	You	"That's not what you really think, right?	Variable["pier.joyce_drama_act"]	545

546	You	Say nothing.	Variable["cargo.evrart_evrart_met"] == false	547
547	Joyce Messier	"He is the most corrupt individual I have ever seen. And I deal with men like him for a living. If there is anyone more venal, more irredeemably nepotistic -- then it's his twin brother, Edgar."		560 553
548	Joyce Messier	"Yes. Edgar looks exactly like his brother, except for that lazy eye. He also talks exactly like Evrart does. And when one's term as foreman is up, the other takes over."		549
549	Joyce Messier	"It's how they circumvent the term limits, you see. With a funny little switcharoo. While in office they've embezzled god knows how much of their workers' dues."		554 567
550	You	"He's not that bad."	Variable["cargo.evrart_evrart_met"]	547

553	You	"Wait, there are two of him?"		548
554	You	"What about the Union itself, outside the brothers Claire?"		559
555	Hand/Eye Coordination	If you were to prick him with something sharp you could see it oozing out -- a knife, maybe? No -- a rapier!		556 552 550 558 1437 546 551

572	Joyce Messier	She adjusts her hair. "Organized labour at its best, as they say. Then something happened in the local chapter elections. The Brothers Claire came and transformed it into a... how do you say?" She hesitates, looking for the right expression.		568
573	Joyce Messier	"Refreshingly honest, officer." She nods. "The company has tried appeasing in the past, but I'm afraid our concessions have only emboldened Evrart and his brother."		1302

579	Conceptualization	What she calls corruption is simply an aesthetic category.		587 585 586 592
580	Joyce Messier	"Thank you for being candid," she nods. "Sadly, Wild Pines have cooperated with what amounts to a crime syndicate for two decades. However much you feed the wolf -- the wolf always hungers."		583

585	You	"Between Evrart the Human Leech and Measurehead, this Union sounds like a motley crew. I'm into it." (Wink.)		588
586	You	"Sounds like they're All-Revachol. I'm All-Revachol, too. To hell with the rest."		589

588	Joyce Messier	"Well..." She looks across the bay, trying to find the words. "I suppose that's one way to look at it -- they're an interesting composition, albeit vile. But enough about Evrart -- what else can I do for you?"		591
589	Joyce Messier	"Ha!" She lets out a loud cackle. "I suppose you are, officer. All-Revachol. But enough about Evrart -- what else can I tell you about?"		591
590	Joyce Messier	"Point taken." She falls silent. The crow's feet in the corner of her eye deepen. She looks to the city behind you, then to the coast. "But enough about Evrart -- what else can I do for you?"		591

594	Joyce Messier	"Quite a few things, I'm afraid..." She falls silent for a moment. Contemplating something.		595
595	Empathy	Worry lines crease her forehead, but it's more than worry. In her eyes, a hint of... is that guilt?		55

607	Joyce Messier	"A pleasure to meet you, Harry -- what happened to your badge?"		608
608	Empathy	Awkwardness washes over the conversation. The woman doesn't like this turn of events.		609
609	Drama	'Twas stolen by some artist, surely. Best to pin the blame on them. Everyone knows you can't trust artists.		71
610	Joyce Messier	"The situation is extremely volatile. The sooner we can speak about this lynching business, the better for all of us."		661

614	Composure	Quickly, methodically, like an electric printing machine.		615
615	Logic	She's memorizing your badge number.		616
616	Joyce Messier	She hands it back to you: "It is a relief to see a double-yefreitor here. The situation is precarious to say the least. It needs a quick solution, or we will have a blood bath on our hands."		836

633	Joyce Messier	"I... see..." She looks increasingly worried. "So are you saying you lost your badge during the course of this episode?"		634 1179 1438
634	You	"It's possible. After a night of heavy drinking I lost all memory of my life and the world."		636

1487	Reaction Speed	... they're profiting from this trade.		1160
1488	Logic	Uncovering Union secrets could also give you an upper hand when dealing with them.		1489
1489	Authority	You'll be indebted to her, in a way. But one step ahead of the Union in another...		729

1496	Kim Kitsuragi	"How about you share your information on the lynching -- now that you've seen his badge."		1497
1497	Joyce Messier	"The goal posts have moved, lieutenant. In the absence of the badge I have informed my employer there will be a probe."		1498
1498	Joyce Messier	"I cannot rescind that promise." She smiles apologetically. "To my knowledge, the drivers are still at the roundabout. I will tell you everything I know -- when you've finished with them."		1499
1499	None			1504 1505
1500	You	"How about you share your information on the lynching -- now that you've seen my badge."		1497
1501	You	"Okay then."		1502
1502	Joyce Messier	"I can't see why it wouldn't be okay. Now, what can I do for you?"		1503
1503	Reaction Speed	This one's a slippery eel.		1091
1504	You	"This was your plan all along."		1506
1505	You	"Fair, I guess. The probe will be done soon."		1507
1506	Joyce Messier	She shakes her head vigorously. "My plan is to share information. The only way to do that now is by telling my employers you've kept your end. Which I hope you will, because let me tell you: we are in dire waters."		1509
1507	Joyce Messier	"I am glad to hear that. Because let me tell you: we are in dire waters. The sooner the probe is finished the sooner I can share crucial information with you."		1512
1508	Joyce Messier	"The sooner the probe is finished the sooner I can share crucial information with you." She takes a sip of tea. "Now, is there anything I can do for you in the meanwhile? Tea, perhaps?"		1511
1509	Rhetoric	Meaning: the information she has will raise the stakes in this game.		1510
1510	Half Light	How bad can the info she has be?		1508
1511	None			26
1512	Joyce Messier	She takes a sip of tea. "Now, is there anything I can do for you in the meanwhile? Tea, perhaps?"		1511
1513	Shivers	All around you, rain keeps falling down. On the wooden boards she's standing on, and on the water around you...		1293 1294 1291
1514	Visual Calculus	One of the tall buildings overlooking the roundabout, most likely. That would give them a read on the entire quarter.		807
1515	Suggestion	She means: you know her closer now, in some way you know her soul a bit.		1128
1516	Logic	Let's be honest, you have no idea what that meant -- interisolary microwave compression? Moving on...		1141
1517	You	"Better not to frighten you, ma'am."		1518
1518	Joyce Messier	"Frighten me?" She smiles. "I'm not frightened easily, but I understand -- some things are best for the police to keep to themselves."		1130

1522	Logic	Didn't Titus mention that Ruby ran a complex operation out of her lorry? Could it be connected? Only one way to find out -- investigate!		728

1525	Joyce Messier	She nods. "I'm glad to hear, officer. I'm sure you'll find out just what that means, soon enough."		1524
1526	You	"My badge. Yes. Of course. My badge that I have on me."		1527
1527	Kim Kitsuragi	He looks at you expectantly. Then it dawns on him...		1414
1528	Kim Kitsuragi	He looks at you expectantly. Then it dawns on him...		1415

1530	Joyce Messier	"Evrart Claire is a man of the utmost integrity. If you can say one thing about him, it's that he always puts the interests of the workers first."		542
1531	Logic	Remember those bold, new exotic revenue streams Evrart said he was going to fund his harbour with? You should go back and ask him about that.		1367

1542	Joyce Messier	"Then what is this positively destitute jetty doing here?" She puts her foot down on the rotten planks beneath. "And what about that fleet of skiffs?"		1544
1543	Joyce Messier	"This unmistakably proletarian fleet of skiffs." She waves at the nearby fishing boats. "As I said, plenty of people drive boats. Of all social strata."		240
1544	Rhetoric	A fleet? Three shabby fishing boats is hardly a fleet.		1543
1545	Esprit de Corps	Be very careful, what information you're gonna share with her.		1098
