The Instigator is gone but you can still explore the cabin of her abandoned vehicle. This yields some MAJOR foreshadowing.
This is a listing of every "entry" in a given game conversation as scraped from the game files. Entries often contain written dialogue, as well as conditional logic governing their appearance to the player. They also link to other entries, sometimes automatically and sometimes through player action. This page is best used to search for a specific word or phrase, as following the links in this format can be difficult.

18 | Physical Instrument | With a firm grip you raise the prybar, a glint of light catching on the tip. Call down the hammer of truth and justice! Release your secrets, lorry cabin! |

|
19 | Physical Instrument | Prybar in hand, you take a hard swing at the window. A loud *thunk* rings out and the prybar bounces back, leaving a tiny spider web on the glass. |
|
|
20 | Abandoned Lorry | The smell of cigarettes and perfume welcomes you. The cabin inside is plastered with old movie posters, actresses smile from the walls. There's a radio transmitter in the front and a toolbox tucked under the driver's seat. Some tools lie scattered near the pedals. |
|

21 | You | Admire the posters. |

27 | Abandoned Lorry | A lorry, abandoned by its owner, stuck in the interminable traffic jam. |
|
|
28 | Perception (Sight) | There's something odd about the passenger seat... The seating fabric has been pulled tight over the lower side of the seat where the toolbox should be. |
|
|
29 | Perception (Smell) | There's definitely perfume in the air. It's spicy, with a hint of ambrette, wafting through the bitter air of the cabin. |
|
|
30 | Abandoned Lorry | Voila! A stack of neatly folded papers has been stashed behind the seating fabric. You see three maps depicting a large metropolitan area. It's Revachol, some of its routes and highways have been outlined with a pen. |
|
|
31 | Abandoned Lorry | A metallic drawer slides out from the seat: It's empty, except for a folded newspaper. |
|

32 | You | Open the door. |

33 | You | [Leave.] |

|
34 | You | [Leave.] |

42 | Kim Kitsuragi | "Subtle," says the lieutenant and sticks his hand in the window -- like a common car thief -- and then opens it. |
|
|
43 | You | Study the centrefold. |
|
|
44 | You | Enough of the posters. |
|
|
45 | Abandoned Lorry | The movie stars are still smiling from the walls. There's a radio transmitter in the front and a pull-out toolbox tucked under the driver's seat. Some tools lie scattered near the pedals. |
|
|
46 | Abandoned Lorry | The actress is draped in a sheath dress, one of her shoulders bared. The faded remains of an autograph run across the poster. She's looking past the camera. |
|
|
47 | Encyclopedia | This is Tippe Tijonne, a starlet from the dawn of cinematography. Less known for her talent, than her tragic, untimely death. |
|
|
48 | Electrochemistry | She's delicate, yet lost. Ruined underneath it all. |

59 | Perception (Smell) | The remnants of a sweet juniper-scented perfume. Probably 'Granate No 5'. |

60 | Abandoned Lorry | You wedge yourself under the steering-wheel to get a better look. Seems like the few tools lying around here -- a hammer, a pair of pliers, a rusty wrench -- have been casually thrown there by the disorganized driver. |

71 | Abandoned Lorry | It's an issue of 'Périphérique' from last Wednesday. A piece of paper falls out from its pages. |
|

72 | You | Pick up the note. |
|

92 | Kim Kitsuragi | "No, that's on 78.9." He stops, coughing awkwardly. |

105 | Kim Kitsuragi | "So it would seem." The lieutenant examines the maps with a furrowed brow. |
|
|
106 | Kim Kitsuragi | "Hard to say. This distribution network looks certainly large, yet still vague enough... It doesn't reveal much about the *besmertie* behind it." |
|
|
107 | You | "*Besmertie*? That sounds vaguely familiar." | Variable["jam.abandoned_kim_mentions_besmertie"] == true |
|
108 | Kim Kitsuragi | "A besmertie is a Revacholian crime syndicate. They see themselves as the inheritors of the 14 Revacholian indotribes, but really they're just violent gangs vying for control on the West side of Revachol..." |
|
|
109 | You | "Who do you think is behind this?" |
|
|
110 | Half Light | Especially bad news for cops who may have something in their past they don't even *know* is there. |
|
|
111 | Kim Kitsuragi | "He's *bad news*." The lieutenant removes his glasses and polishes them with a handkerchief. "There have been attempts at a serious investigation before, but they... haven't ended well for those involved." |
|
|
112 | Esprit de Corps | Somewhere on a hidden field, a flash of light, a whirring sound. Camera lenses focus on a man in a ragged police uniform standing in a field of blood-red poppies. A blurry figure dressed in white stands right by the camera... |

117 | Esprit de Corps | "But why... why would I hurt my own *peone*?" asks the man in white. "What kind of an *animal* would do such thing?" |
|
|
118 | Abandoned Lorry | This large map displays the elevated motorway called 8/81. The intake leading to Martinaise is marked with a blue X. There's another X on the off-ramp at a place called the Old South. |
|
|
119 | Shivers | There, hundreds of thousands of motor carriages roar on the 8/81, high above the mass of brown and red roofs that is Jamrock. The commuters don't even look down; the world ceases to exist outside the windshield. |
|
|
120 | Abandoned Lorry | Tollbooths at the intakes are marked with a circle. It looks like there are scant few ways of getting onto the elevated motorway that runs over Jamrock -- and this person knows them all. |
|
|
121 | You | Where does the road lead... | Variable["jam.abandoned_map_one_shivers"] == true |
|
122 | Shivers | To Couron, through the middle income neighbourhoods there -- by the river -- and then to Stella Maris and La Delta, for work. While the men and women of Jamrock scuttle to their fates below the road. |
|
|
123 | Abandoned Lorry | This municipal map from the Thirties displays a complex system of storm sewers underneath a sub-district called The Pox (Old Military Hospital), right adjacent to the 41st Precinct. |
|
|
124 | Inland Empire | No storm will ever drown Revachol, the great solution to the riddle of history. |
|
|
125 | Shivers | Wind rips through the empty hallways of the once great military hospital, now just a ruin under an overgrown park. Beneath the hospital, great sewer tunnels hum and vibrate with life of their own... |
|
|
126 | You | What is that sound... | Variable["jam.abandoned_map_two_shivers"] == true |
|
127 | Shivers | The rattle of motor carriages and lorries driving through long forgotten tunnels. Lit by gas lights. |
|
|
128 | Abandoned Lorry | The final map displays a labyrinth of service tunnels left over from the construction of Motorway 8/81. A few routes have been marked with a pen -- where the tunnels and sewers surface near the Eminent Domain and a traffic island in Central Jamrock, by the lake. |
|
|
129 | Interfacing | These service tunnels were probably used during the construction of the foundation beneath the motorway. |
|
|
130 | Shivers | Despite the cold, figures move about cloaked in shadow, their breath escaping in white clouds that fade into the darkness. Wherever you look, the night gives cover to her messengers. |
