3	You	"What did you say... sunrise..."		10
4	You	"What... happened?"		41
5	You	"Ouch."		6
6	Kim Kitsuragi	"It's not *ouch* time yet. You just got a *drouamine* pill an hour ago. Wait until it wears off."		11
7	Kim Kitsuragi	"Mr. Garte cleaned it. It took him an entire day."		13

10	Kim Kitsuragi	"Sunrise, Parabellum. Sunrise, Prepare-for-War. It's an old revolutionary saying."		431
11	Encyclopedia	Drouamine. Then it's not *that* bad. Neither surgical, nor organ-damage bad. But still under-the-counter bad.		9
12	You	"Is it... war today?"		15
13	You	"How long have I been out?"		14
14	Kim Kitsuragi	"Two days. In and out -- you've been up enough to take drouamine and curse. And drink water."		17
15	Kim Kitsuragi	"The gates of the harbour are boarded up. The streets are a little more empty. Apocalyptic violence is yet to erupt, I am relieved to say." He looks out the window.		16
16	Kim Kitsuragi	"I think we may have held it off -- for now." He unzips his bomber jacket. "Barely."		19 18 20

18	You	"A pity."		22
19	You	"Good."		34
20	You	"Ouch."		36
21	Kim Kitsuragi	"Uhuh," he nods. "I see the drouamine is working."		31
22	Kim Kitsuragi	"Pity?"		23 24 25 26 32
23	You	"I seriously want this... social order to collapse now."		27
24	You	"This is the end and I am its trumpeter, Kim. The quicker we get it done the better."		21
25	You	"Pity all the whores and traitors haven't been washed away! It's like I suffer... (cough) but for what?"		28
26	You	"You misunderstand me. (cough) I meant that in a... *disco* way."		29
27	Kim Kitsuragi	"I see the drouamine is working."		31
28	Kim Kitsuragi	"The whores, yes. That's good to hear."		30
29	Kim Kitsuragi	"Cool."		31
30	Rhetoric	Rhetorical flare. He does not actually welcome the return of the whores.		31
31	None			8
32	You	"Nothing. I take it back."		33
33	Kim Kitsuragi	"No need, officer. You wanted things to go South outside -- that's okay, we all do from time to time. They haven't, though. Yet."		31
34	Kim Kitsuragi	"Yes. We have also completely failed. But that's okay."		35
35	None			8
36	Kim Kitsuragi	"That's right." He nods in agreement. "Ouch, indeed."		35

44	Kim Kitsuragi	"What happened? You shot the major in the face. A firefight ensued."		46
45	Kim Kitsuragi	"As retaliation, their rifleman tried shooting you. He missed -- or you dodged..."		62 63
46	You	"Is he dead?"		48
47	You	"What... happened then?"		57
48	Kim Kitsuragi	"Yes."		49
49	Half Light	You're a real killer, Harry.		50
50	Inland Empire	A bloodstained killer.		51

60	Kim Kitsuragi	"Then I shot and wounded him while Glen took a bullet in the spine." He nods. "It was meant for me. Glen did not survive." There's a pause.		437
61	Kim Kitsuragi	"Titus, Fat Angus, and Theo charged. Angus and Theo did not make it. They both died before they made it to intensive care. Titus survives. So do Alain and the musician, I forget his name..."		125
62	You	"I dodged."		60
63	You	"Then what?"		66
64	Kim Kitsuragi	"You were bleeding out, you said something, I don't know what..." He thinks. "And you warned me. I was able to disarm officer de Paule before she got the jump on me."		438
65	Kim Kitsuragi	"I killed her." The lieutenant takes a cigarette from his coat pocket and lights it. A bitter smell fills the room. "And that's what happened."		67
66	Kim Kitsuragi	"I shot and wounded him. While Glen took a bullet in the spine. It was meant for me -- he did not survive." There's a pause.		437
67	None			261 100 68 69 133 70 71
68	You	"I thought you only smoked one a day."	Variable["tc.kim_one_smoke_per_day"]	72
69	You	"And they're all dead, all three... of the contractors?"	Variable["plaza.tribunal_hardie_shot"] == false	74
70	You	"How many casualties... on the Union's side? Total?"		138
71	You	"And that's..." (Conclude.)	Variable["whirling.postfight_hub_counter"] >= 2	84
72	Kim Kitsuragi	"This is the one."		73
73	None			67
74	Kim Kitsuragi	"De Paule was the last to die." He nods. "Evrart had their bodies returned to Krenel for a funeral. The company is yet to retaliate."		75
75	You	"Why?"		76
76	Kim Kitsuragi	"Because we *deterred* them? Or Joyce did? Maybe the harbour -- in full lockdown -- is too costly a target. Or maybe..." he breathes in the fumes, thinking.		77
77	Kim Kitsuragi	"Maybe they are simply taking their time and will attack soon? I don't know."		78
78	None			67
79	Kim Kitsuragi	"Four: Glen, Theo, Angus, the fat one, he... took a lot of bullets." There's a pause.		80
80	Kim Kitsuragi	"And Elizabeth too -- Elizabeth Beaufort was her name. The gardener."		81
81	You	"She did not make it?"		82
82	Kim Kitsuragi	"No. She bled out before Evrart's surgeon could help her. Evrart sent his personal doctor but..." He shakes his head. "A costly loss for the Union. She was being trained for leadership."		425
83	None			67
84	Kim Kitsuragi	"All." He nods.		85 86 87 88
85	You	"An absolute disaster."		92
86	You	"It's a total shit show, Kim."		92
87	You	"Not *that* bad -- all things considered."		91
88	You	"I don't see how it could have gone any better."		93
89	Kim Kitsuragi	"Let's face it, officer -- and this is both of our fault..." he says calmly -- without accusation. "It could have gone *a little* better. Six people are dead."		483
90	Kim Kitsuragi	"But what's done is done. The violence is cordoned off, the mercenary tribunal is neutralized. The worst scenario has not materialized -- yet."		151
91	Kim Kitsuragi	"Oh no, officer," he says calmly -- without accusation. "It's pretty bad. Six people are dead."		483
92	Kim Kitsuragi	"Yes, officer," he says calmly. "Six people are dead. It's not a success."		483

96	Rhetoric	He did not expect you both to survive once you stepped between those two armies.		97
97	Endurance	His smoking, his hunched back... you have it worse, but he took a real beating. That cigarette has *medicinal* purposes.		152
98	You	"Eugene?"		99
99	Kim Kitsuragi	"Yes. He's still alive too."		515
100	You	"So you also killed."	(Variable["plaza.tribunal_headshot_succeeded"] == true or Variable["plaza.tribunal_spiritbomb_succeeded"] == true) and Variable["whirling.postfight_you_killer_heard"]	101
101	Kim Kitsuragi	He nods.		73
102	Kim Kitsuragi	"As retaliation, their rifleman tried shooting you. He hit the cuirass... I heard it go off. I was looking for a clear line of sight to him."		107

106	Kim Kitsuragi	"As retaliation, their rifleman shot you. He hit. With his carabine -- I was looking for a clear line of sight. When I found it..."		107
107	Hand/Eye Coordination	He sounds a *tiny bit* sorry he did not find it before you got hit.		66

119	Kim Kitsuragi	"You tried to throw an improvised petroleum bomb. It missed. Then you said *it's a fiasco, bratan* in a funny voice. A firefight ensued."		424 47
120	You	"The tie made me do it."	Variable["plaza.tribunal_spiritbomb_succeeded"] or Variable["plaza.tribunal_spiritbomb_failed"]	121
121	Kim Kitsuragi	He does not answer, and searches for something in his coat pocket instead.		475
122	Kim Kitsuragi	"What happened? We tried to take the diplomatic route and hoped they wouldn't attack first. They did. The major gave the command."		47

133	You	"And the major..."	Variable["plaza.tribunal_hardie_shot"] == true	134
134	Kim Kitsuragi	"... is in a private hospital across the river. Krenel claimed him from the local butcher shop, where Titus died. Turns out he's *insured*."		136
135	Kim Kitsuragi	"We won't get to him anymore. The good news is -- he's not coming here either. I did some damage."		137

159	Kim Kitsuragi	"Let's face it, officer," he says calmly -- without accusation. "It could have gone a little better. You could've *not* missed."		483
160	Kim Kitsuragi	"Let's face it, officer..." he says calmly -- without accusation. "It could have gone a little better. You could've *not* missed with the bomb. If you already threw it."		483
161	Kim Kitsuragi	"Let's face it, officer..." he says calmly -- without accusation. "It could have gone a little better. The diplomatic approach was terrible. It was my mistake. I should have attacked..."		162

168	Kim Kitsuragi	"Reasonably bad. You were shot in the left quadriceps -- that's your thigh. It appears no major arteries were nicked. The bullet was removed and a bacterial infection treated with mercurochrome."		180
169	You	"Can I... walk?"		170
170	Kim Kitsuragi	"We will see."		171
171	Endurance	With considerable pain and the stitches tearing every now and then -- you should be able to do it.		173
172	Endurance	Through tears and blood and stitches tearing it *should* be possible.		176

184	Kim Kitsuragi	"Pretty bad, officer. You've suffered two wounds. The first is below your shoulder. The bullet passed through your shoulder blade, luckily missing your lung -- and heart."		185
185	Kim Kitsuragi	"The second shot hit you in the thigh -- the left quadriceps." He points to your leg. "No major arteries were nicked, but the bullet had to be removed. A bacterial infection was treated with mercurochrome."		169
186	Kim Kitsuragi	"Reasonably bad. You were shot in the left quadriceps -- that's your thigh. The outer side thankfully, no major arteries were nicked. The bullet was removed and a bacterial infection treated with mercurochrome."		169

202	You	"They don't care about me at all."		207
203	You	"Good. I don't need them."		207
204	You	"Really?"		207
205	You	"Are you hurt?"		478
206	You	"Isn't that... strange?"		207
207	Kim Kitsuragi	"I called your station after the fight. The injury was logged in. They told me they've sent officers to join you on the site."		208 210
208	You	"Odd. You haven't seen any, have you?"		209
209	Kim Kitsuragi	There's a pause. "I'm sure they're worried about you."		213
210	You	"Okay."		211
211	Kim Kitsuragi	"I'm sure they're worried about you."		212
212	Rhetoric	No. They would be here if they were truly worried.		214
213	Rhetoric	That means he hasn't seen them around while you were out. They're not *really* worried about you. If they were, wouldn't they be here?		214

218	Kim Kitsuragi	"Not very." He rubs his chin. "I have a concussion from the major beating me with the butt of his gun. I try to not move too much."		220
219	Kim Kitsuragi	"Things would be worse if you didn't warn me." There's a pause. "Thank you. I did not see her coming. Stupid of me..."		230
220	Kim Kitsuragi	"Things would be much worse if you didn't warn me." There's a pause. "Thank you. I did not see him coming. Stupid of me..."		230
221	You	"If they're so worried about me where are they?"		223
222	You	Better not agitate yourself further, it already hurts.		224
223	Kim Kitsuragi	"I don't know."		444
224	Rhetoric	Sorry.		444
225	None			193
226	You	"Okay...." (Get up.)		227
227	Kim Kitsuragi	"Easy now..." The lieutenant turns double again, before your eyes. An orange hue of pain...		233

232	Savoir Faire	Your balance is *way* off. You feel like you're about to fall over on that thing...		234
233	Pain Threshold	You can take it. Just don't lean on that leg of yours too heavily.		232
234	Kim Kitsuragi	"How are you?"		239 235 236 237 238
235	You	"My... disco days are done."		245
236	You	"I feel fantastic. Let's... rock."		243

238	You	"I'm very bad, Kim. Things are very bad."		240
239	You	"Gnhhhh..."		242
240	Kim Kitsuragi	The lieutenant doesn't reply -- just looks at you teetering on your feet.		241
241	Physical Instrument	He thinks you should sit back down. Back straight, now... you're not sitting ANYWHERE.		231
242	Kim Kitsuragi	The lieutenant looks at you -- teetering on your feet.		244
243	Kim Kitsuragi	He nods.		231
244	None			241
245	Kim Kitsuragi	"Your disco days should have been done quite a while back, officer."		231
246	Kim Kitsuragi	"I honestly don't know."		253 254 255
247	Kim Kitsuragi	You see the lieutenant's familiar shape in the orange jacket. It turns double -- then triple -- from the pain.		249
248	You	"Kim...."		250
249	Pain Threshold	It's nothing. You're alive, that's what matters.		248 251
250	Kim Kitsuragi	"*Sunrise, parabellum*," the lieutenant says. He's in the middle of a freshly cleaned room, with the fan above his head like a halo. His face is covered in bruises.		8
251	You	"I'm alive..."		250
252	You	"This is because I'm a La Puta Madre's peone, isn't it?"	Variable["boardwalk.ruby_la_puta_madre_agent_main"]	272
253	You	"You don't... know?"		256
254	You	"But... I don't know either."		256
255	You	"Good, because I totally do."		260
256	Kim Kitsuragi	"We can't talk to Evrart, the harbour is in lockdown -- everyone in there is outside our grasp now. And Joyce has left too."		383
257	You	"Joyce is gone?"		258
258	Kim Kitsuragi	"Yes, she left yesterday morning. To meet the board of Wild Pines -- or that is what I've heard. There's a *pin* somewhere in the machine that keeps Krenel from sending in a death squad..." He looks out the window.		388
259	Kim Kitsuragi	"Maybe it's her? Maybe she kept her end. Either way, Ruby's gone. And Klaasje too. We really should have arrested her, you know."		446 448 263
260	Kim Kitsuragi	"Do you? Because we can't talk to Evrart, the harbour is in lockdown -- everyone in there is outside our grasp now. And Joyce has left too."		383
