2	Kim Kitsuragi	"Yes?"		7
3	You	"Nothing". [Leave.]
4	You	"Tell me about the case."	Variable["whirling.kim_case_hub_reached"] == false	8
5	None			External: (994, 2)
6	Kim Kitsuragi	A moment passes. The lieutenant glances at the sports watch on his wrist.		7
7	None			927 859 393 841 713 810 4 205 294 811 329 524 343 487 3
8	Kim Kitsuragi	"What do you want to know?"		45
9	You	"Would you say this is a mysterious case?"		490
10	You	"A young woman told me a mercenary's been hanged -- that's all."		19
11	Kim Kitsuragi			12 13
12	Kim Kitsuragi		Variable["whirling.klaasje_body_mercenary"]	14
13	Kim Kitsuragi		(Variable["whirling.klaasje_body_mercenary"]) == false	24
14	Kim Kitsuragi			15 16
15	Kim Kitsuragi		Variable["whirling.garte_body_mercenary"]	18
16	Kim Kitsuragi		(Variable["whirling.garte_body_mercenary"]) == false	10
17	You	"I know literally nothing about it. Only what you told me before."		28
18	You	"A young woman told me a mercenary has been hanged, and the manager thinks it was the Union that did it. That's all."		19
19	Kim Kitsuragi	"Then you're not that far behind, actually. Do you want me to brief you?"		29
20	You	"Why not?"		23
21	You	"That's all I needed to know."		22
22	Kim Kitsuragi	The lieutenant adjusts his collar. It doesn't look like he wants the case to be more mysterious.		49
23	Kim Kitsuragi	"The deceased is a security guard for a corporation involved in a labour dispute. It doesn't take a Dolorian polymath to put the pieces together. I just don't see the case getting more mysterious than that."		51 50 52 54
24	Kim Kitsuragi			25 26
25	Kim Kitsuragi		Variable["whirling.garte_body_mercenary"]	27
26	Kim Kitsuragi		(Variable["whirling.garte_body_mercenary"]) == false	17
27	You	"The guy behind the counter thinks some Union people hanged a man."		19
28	Kim Kitsuragi	"Do you want me to brief you?"		29
29	None			30 31
30	You	"Brief, yes. That sounds good."		33
31	You	"No. I'll wing it."		32
32	Kim Kitsuragi	"There's no reason to wing anything. If you didn't get the brief, that's okay, I did."		33
33	Kim Kitsuragi	"Three days ago, the RCM Emergencies Desk received a report about a security guard who was found hanged in Martinaise. An anonymous caller said there was a dead body behind the Whirling-in-Rags hostel-cafeteria. The cadaver had been there for four days -- no one had come to investigate..."		34
34	Kim Kitsuragi	"During that time, the victim had been stripped of his belongings. The caller did not identify him, but used the word lynching. There is an ongoing labour dispute between the local dockworkers and the logistics company Wild Pines. I was told we should approach the death as part of this dispute."		327 35 711 39
35	You	"Who was the caller?"	Variable["TASK.who_was_caller"] == false	36
36	Kim Kitsuragi	"To find him or her is one of our tasks here. For now all we know is that the tone was muffled using a device of some sort -- the desk could identify neither the caller's age nor sex."		37
37	You	"Why hide themselves?"		38
38	Kim Kitsuragi	"There's a strong prejudice against involving the RCM in what's seen as Union matters. The Dockworkers' Union is the de facto police in Martinaise. Now -- it appears -- they've started executing too. We cannot allow that."		852 402 401 403
39	You	"Mega cool. I've heard enough."	Variable["TASK.briefing_done"]	42
40	None			45
41	You	"If we're from different precincts, why are we on the same case?"	Variable["TASK.pissing_competition"] == false and Variable["TASK.pissing_competition_done"] == false	61
42	Kim Kitsuragi	"Okay then. Was there anything else you wanted to know?"		43
43	None			45
44	You	"Actually, I have all I need for now."		126
45	None			46 662 749 9 41 124 44
46	You	"Literally anything about it -- I can't remember a single thing."	Variable["TASK.what_does_joyce_done"] == false and Variable["TASK.briefing_done"] == false	636
47	Kim Kitsuragi	"Maybe you can tell me what you do know? To help me narrow it down a bit."		11
48	Kim Kitsuragi	"Was there anything else you wanted to know about the case?"		45
49	None			45
50	You	"White male in his forties -- what more do you need?"		491
51	You	"I was thinking something other-worldly might be involved. You know, something supra-natural."		309
52	You	"Personally, I think labour disputes are very mysterious."		53
53	Kim Kitsuragi	"Then you're in luck, because we're in the midst of a major strike by the Dockworkers' Union. Maybe more than that. The Union clearly wants a piece, not just of the Industrial Harbour, but the Wild Pines corporation itself..."		56
54	You	"Okay, so the case probably isn't mysterious -- but could it be sexy?"		281
55	Kim Kitsuragi	"I expect the case itself to be less challenging than navigating these community matters. This district isn't used to the RCM's presence, and the Union rarely overplays its hand -- as it appears to have done in this case..."		503
56	Rhetoric	Is this a strike then -- or the first shots in a workers' coup?		55
57	You	"Wait, so is this a strike or an attempted coup?"		58
58	Kim Kitsuragi	"Strike, coup, revolution, it's brigandage however you parse it."		641
59	You	"We should ground the workers into fine paste and feed them to the pigs."		60
60	Kim Kitsuragi	"When I said we have to navigate community matters, I did not mean we have any say in them. I meant we should be careful. If we are not... the shit will blow right in our faces." He makes a quick gesture towards his visage -- where the shit would blow.		646
61	Kim Kitsuragi	"I'm afraid you and I are pawns in a..." He considers the phrasing. "A pissing competition."		102
62	You	"I really don't remember anything. There was drinking involved."		63
63	Kim Kitsuragi	"Have you tried concentrating on something other than your personal affairs?"		64
64	Empathy	There is a sudden, harsh edge to his voice. Like he's tired of hearing about your "personal affairs."		65
65	None			94 66 98 67 68
66	You	"So what should I concentrate on?"		69
67	You	"I'm afraid this is a medical situation." (Move on.)		73
68	You	"Fine." (Let it be.)		93
69	Kim Kitsuragi	"Try work. The case at hand. It can work miracles."		70
70	None			65
71	You	"I'm talking deep, neurological damage here."	Variable["viscal.bathroom_mirror_electrochem_neurodamage"]	74
72	You	"I'm talking serious, unbelievable damage here."	Variable["viscal.bathroom_mirror_electrochem_neurodamage"] == false	74
73	Kim Kitsuragi	"Really?" The lieutenant gives you a look, thorough as if performing triage. "You look fine to me."		71 72 75
74	Kim Kitsuragi	"This psycho-drama is unbecoming of an officer."		79
75	You	"Okay, then."		76
76	Kim Kitsuragi	"Focus on other people's troubles. Not your own. That is the relief."		83
77	None			333
78	You	"It's not psychological. Some sort of major brain damage has occurred. On an unprecedented scale."		429
79	Logic	Clearly he prefers to think you're malingering. He cannot fathom that anyone could drink so much as to retroactively erase their entire life.		78 75
80	Kim Kitsuragi	"Then you should consider seeking medical attention. You can use the radio in my Kineema to call your station's lazareth. Was there anything else you wanted?"		92
81	You	"Thank you, oh wise man."		88
82	You	Say nothing.		428
83	Half Light	Your heart beats twice, like a fist. The serotonin deficiency makes your teeth clench.		84
84	Kim Kitsuragi			85 86
85	Kim Kitsuragi		Variable["whirling.kim_half_light_wise_fuck"]	326
86	Kim Kitsuragi		(Variable["whirling.kim_half_light_wise_fuck"]) == false	87
87	None			333
88	Kim Kitsuragi	The lieutenant blinks, his mouth slightly open and his body motionless. A microsecond passes.		434
89	Kim Kitsuragi	"Excuse me. I was lecturing you. I shouldn't have. You should consult a medical professional if you feel that you need help. You can use the radio in my Kineema to call your station's lazareth."		90
90	Esprit de Corps	This habit of dispensing wisdom has been brought to his attention before. He will not think less of you for lashing out -- he is trying to curb it.		91
91	None			333
92	None			7
93	None			76
94	You	"What's wrong with personal affairs?"		95
95	Kim Kitsuragi	"Not a fan. It's just the nature of lieutenancy."		96
96	Encyclopedia	The RCM deploys a self-styled structure called the Décomptage as its chain of command. Every lieutenant is responsible for two sergeants and eight officers. That means the average lieutenant has to deal with quite a few personal affairs. Even you know this.		97
97	None			65
98	You	"But I'm completely lacking in basic information about even this organization we're in. Can you help me?"	Variable["TASK.debrief_with_kim_day_one_done"] == false	99
99	Kim Kitsuragi	"Fine. We should get through the day first. Off-hours begin at 21:00. If you're still having trouble then, I can give you an orientation."		100
100	None			65
101	You	"What do you mean?"		103
102	Empathy	His disdain is clear. This man would not use such an expression otherwise.		101
103	Kim Kitsuragi	"You don't know?" His eyes narrow. "I assumed you were in on it."		104
104	None			109 106 105
105	You	"Tell me about it."		117
106	You	"You know what I'm in on -- retrograde amnesia."		107
107	Kim Kitsuragi	"Better still than an imbecilic Cop Off."		120 105
108	Kim Kitsuragi	"It's just stupidity. We shouldn't waste any more time on it. If you want my take, ask me after we've inspected the victim."		129
109	You	"I don't remember being in on anything."		111
110	Kim Kitsuragi	"I think the dispatch desk just told both our stations about the hanging. There was quite the brouhaha at the 57th, I can tell you that. 'Time to settle it', they said, 'Cop Off'. But..." He leans in: "I assure you, I am not their finest or toughest, with one hundred-and-two cases solved. What I am is least interested in a pissing competition."		128
111	Kim Kitsuragi	"That's good."		112
112	None			104
113	Kim Kitsuragi	"The cop kind. Our Precincts can't decide if Martinaise is part of Jamrock or the Industrial Harbour. Yours or mine, as if we somehow own parts of the city. Typical street-gang mentality.... so we've let the Union make a mockery of law enforcement here. And now it's come to its natural conclusion."		325
114	You	"What kind of stupidity?"		113
115	You	Let it go.		116
116	None			48
117	Kim Kitsuragi			118 119
118	Kim Kitsuragi		Variable["TASK.inspect_the_dead_body_done"]	122
119	Kim Kitsuragi		(Variable["TASK.inspect_the_dead_body_done"]) == false	108
120	You	"Cop Off?"		847
121	None			45
122	Kim Kitsuragi	"What's there to say? It's just stupidity."		123
123	None			114 115
124	You	"Now that we've inspected the scene -- I want to know more about this 'pissing competition' you mentioned."	Variable["TASK.inspect_the_dead_body_done"] == true and Variable["TASK.pissing_competition"] and Variable["TASK.pissing_competition_done"] == false	125
125	None			122
126	Kim Kitsuragi	"Good." The lieutenant nods.		127
127	None			7
128	Reaction Speed	So he volunteered to represent the 57th, but not out of competitiveness -- on the contrary.		136
129	Suggestion	On the surface he's dismissive, but there's a conspiratorial glint in his black eyes. If only you knew what he would say...		130 131 132
130	You	"Talk of this..." (Consider the phrasing.) "...pissing competition worries me. What stupidity is this?"	Variable["whirling.kim_esprit_conspiracy"] == true	135
131	You	"You should tell me now. This seems relevant."		134
132	You	Let it go.		133
133	None			48
134	Kim Kitsuragi	"Later." His voice is unflinching. "Was there anything else you wanted to know about the case?"		121
135	None			113
136	Encyclopedia	Somewhere in your mind hangs a dark green blackboard. There are two columns. One says: "cases solved", the other: "confirmed kills".		143
137	You	Look for: Precinct 57 -> Lieutenants -> Kitsuragi, Kim.	Variable["tc.kim_cases_solved"] == false	138
138	Encyclopedia	The name "Kim 'Pinball' Kitsuragi" appears before you.		147
139	You	Cases solved?		141
140	You	Confirmed kills?		142
141	Encyclopedia	One hundred and four.		153
142	Encyclopedia	Six.		153
143	None			150 157 160 171 170 165
144	You	Look for: Precinct 41.		145
145	Encyclopedia	Jean Vicquemare, Judit Minot... A special consultant... what was his name? Then the rows degrade into green nothingness.		154
146	None			143
147	None			139 140 148
148	You	Blink.		153
149	You	Open your eyes.		155
150	You	Close your eyes.	Variable["tc.kim_cases_solved"]	151
151	Encyclopedia	The rows are endless.		152
152	None			137 144 149
153	None			151
154	Esprit de Corps	Your brothers have left you.		146
155	Kim Kitsuragi	The lieutenant is thinking to himself. His eyebrows are slightly raised.		156
156	None			143
157	You	"So you volunteered to spoil it."	Variable["whirling.kim_logic_why_he_volunteered"]	158
158	Kim Kitsuragi	"Yes. I'm an unrepentant spoilsport." The lieutenant appears pleased with this.		159
159	None			143
160	You	"For some reason I thought you had a hundred and four solved cases."	Variable["tc.kim_cases_solved"] == true	161
161	Kim Kitsuragi	"Well, technically," the lieutenant says, somewhat sheepishly. "The official record keeper has been known to double-count murder-suicides."		162
162	Encyclopedia	A common accounting gimmick used to inflate precinct stats.		163 166
163	You	"So, you're still a good cop, right?"		164
164	Kim Kitsuragi	"I'm good enough for this case. I'm not here to compete. I came because I had to. My fellow officers -- the sergeants, in particular -- would have made this scene into a circus."		169
165	You	"Okay, enough of the competition then. Tell me something else." (Conclude.)		758
166	You	"Let's be honest: 102 is pathetic. A very small number."		167
167	Kim Kitsuragi	"I wouldn't say that. And my case load is measly, but that's beside the point..."		168
168	Esprit de Corps	He is not the least bit offended. He just wants you to know his case load should be much higher.		164
169	None			143
170	You	"I wonder what this says about me? That I was sent by my station?"		174
171	You	"What's special about Martinaise?"		172
172	Kim Kitsuragi	"Martinaise? Nothing. It's just a puddle at the end of some drainpipe. No one cares about this place, they care about sports. Most of our colleagues don't even know how to get here. North of the Interchange doesn't exist."		175
173	None			143
174	Kim Kitsuragi	"Hmm..." He raises an eyebrow, thinking it best to let you make the next move.		180
175	Shivers	A tremble comes over you, another after-effect of ethanol poisoning perhaps? Feels like leaves do when they rustle in the breeze, somewhere far away, below the Turbine. The 41st and the 57th... The lieutenant was right. It's not about who gets what's North, it's about who doesn't.		173
176	None			206 747 177 181 182 183 178
177	You	"There can only be one conclusion: I am the finest, a case-solving machine sent to outperform you in every way imaginable."		215
178	You	"I'm gonna leave why I was sent unspecified."		179
179	Kim Kitsuragi	The silence carries.		794
180	Logic	Clearly, he has already formed his own theory.		752
181	You	"I must be an augury, an apocalyptic omen sent by my people. Can you guess my message?"		227
182	You	"Don't be scared, but I think I might have supra-natural abilities."	Variable["whirling.necktie_personified"] or Variable["whirling.klaasje_shivers_forever"] or Variable["plaza.shivers_activated"] or Variable["jam.tommy_shivers_across_revachol"] or Variable["plaza.kineema_shivers_where_too"] or Variable["pier.joyce_shivers_grounding_on_revchopice"] or Variable["whirling.kim_shivers_orphan"]	245
183	You	"I probably have an unbelievable kill count."		258
184	Kim Kitsuragi	"Okay." He takes a step back. "Style me."		188
185	You	(Point to yourself.) "This is what a modern cop looks like."		198
186	You	(Loosen your shoulders.) "You should ease up a bit. You need more looseness."		200
187	Composure	This man has sharp, precise composure, without impatience. Years of being himself have whittled the tension down to readiness. He is at home in what must be a subtly thought out set of apparel. Do you even have anything to teach him?		189 185 186
188	Rhetoric	It's impossible to tell whether he's serious or joking.		187
189	You	"Everything from scalp down is top notch, but you need a patrol cap."	Variable["whirling.kim_composure_compliment"]	190
190	Kim Kitsuragi	"I don't need a patrol cap."		191 192 194
191	You	"I know it seems unintuitive. But trust me."		193
192	You	"An orange patrol cap -- you need it."		193
193	Kim Kitsuragi	He thinks for a second. "Okay, maybe I do."		782
194	You	"Okay, maybe you don't need an orange patrol cap. Let me think of something else."		195
195	Kim Kitsuragi	He's waiting.		185 186 196
196	You	"Orange patrol cap. I can't think of anything else."		197
197	None			190
198	Kim Kitsuragi	"In the New, twenty years ago. It's what a modern cop looked like then."		199
199	Encyclopedia	He means The New, the third decade of the current century. The decade of disco, decadence, and the victory of democracy-powered free market economy over it's critics.		785
200	Kim Kitsuragi	"No I don't. I used to. Plain clothes did the trick. For both of us, it seems." He nods toward you. "Now..."		786
201	Logic	Because you're the best qualified? No, that doesn't seem right...		557 558
202	Kim Kitsuragi			203 204
203	Kim Kitsuragi		Variable["whirling.kim_red_logic_why_sent"]	279
204	Kim Kitsuragi		(Variable["whirling.kim_red_logic_why_sent"]) == false	560
205	You	Why did the 41st send me?	Variable["TASK.pissing_competition_done"]	202
206	You	"I am a highly experimental cop. But if I am right... this is outré even by my standards."	Variable["whirling.kim_conceptualization_wunderkind"]	207
207	Kim Kitsuragi	"Really?" His eyebrow gets raised one more notch.		208 212
208	You	"I arrive at the scene three days early, drink myself to oblivion, fully re-immerse myself in this reality and then work the case from an angle so crescent fresh it produces never before seen results. Not only for criminology, but for the human mind."		210
209	You	"Of course not. I'm just a drunk. They sent a drunk."		214
210	Kim Kitsuragi	"It can't be that..." Part of him sort of wants to believe what you just said.		269 211 209
211	You	"I am a notoriously difficult-to-work-with wunderkind with extremely unorthodox methods."		213
212	You	"Forget it, it's too much."		784
213	Kim Kitsuragi	"Wouldn't that be something? And who could say it's not true? If you really don't remember anything... how would you know?" The thought makes him uneasy. "We should move."		795
214	Kim Kitsuragi	"Are you sure? Who could say it's not true? If you really don't remember anything.... how would you know?" The thought makes him uneasy. "We should move."		795
215	Kim Kitsuragi	"A good joke."		216
216	Empathy	He does not actually think it was a good joke.		217 218 219 220
217	You	"Okay, it was a poor joke. But we could use a good mannered Cop Off, don't you agree?"	Variable["whirling.kim_empathy_does_not_think_good_joke"]	223
218	You	"Yes, a joke. In truth I will only moderately humiliate and outperform you."		224
219	You	"A joke, of course. Rest assured, I have no intention to compete with you."		225
220	You	"Of course it's a joke, look at me! How could I compete with you, you probably have a ton of cases solved."		221
221	Kim Kitsuragi	"It's not that many. Officer, I'm sure you have a lot more cases solved. Now..."		222
222	Esprit de Corps	Strangely enough, it's not pity. He would never pity a fellow officer. He truly appears to think you've solved your fair share of cases -- perhaps more than him.		787
223	Kim Kitsuragi	"If it helps you work better, okay. See it as competition. But don't expect me to. Now..."		788
224	Kim Kitsuragi	"Oh? You will?" He raises his collar. His eyes narrow. "Then I will help you to do so. Now..."		226
225	Kim Kitsuragi	"It's good we set this thing aside."		788
226	Esprit de Corps	Still, against his better judgement, this made him think just a little bit less of you		788
227	Kim Kitsuragi	"No."		228 229 230
228	You	"There will be a blood-letting of unimaginable proportions. Un-imaginable."		232
229	You	"Better not to relay it."		231
230	You	"You know, actually no. I'm not an augury. I don't why I said that."		789
231	Kim Kitsuragi	"I agree. Too dark."		789
232	Kim Kitsuragi	"Oh no, it's very imaginable. We fail to place responsibility for the hanging, the harbour company see the situation is out of control so they bring in private military, maybe a gunship, the Union responds in strength. Automatic fire."		233
233	Kim Kitsuragi	"Local law enforcement solving one little homicide decides nothing. Not solving it... can have real and calculable effects. Things can always get worse. Matter of fact, augury, we should move."		790
234	Kim Kitsuragi	"Which school do you subscribe to -- Mambo..." He opens the other hand: "...or Jambo?"		235 236 237 238
235	You	"Wait, which one is the one where you hear your tie talk to you?"	Variable["whirling.garte_necktie_talked"]	239
236	You	"Mambo -- I have a vivid interior. I see and feel things."		251
237	You	"Jambo -- I get these strange shivers from being hung over. Just before, a chill whisked down my back."	Variable["whirling.kim_shivers_orphan"] or Variable["whirling.klaasje_shivers_forever"] or Variable["plaza.shivers_activated"] or Variable["jam.tommy_shivers_across_revachol"] or Variable["plaza.kineema_shivers_where_too"] or Variable["pier.joyce_shivers_grounding_on_revchopice"]	240
238	You	"I think I might have both Mambo and Jambo -- I imagine strange things and get cold chills too."

481	Kim Kitsuragi	He purses his lips. "The victim wasn't run over by a drunk driver, so, while I can't condone your driving habits, the cases remain unrelated..."		485
482	Kim Kitsuragi	"I find that highly unlikely. It's not unusual for detectives to feel complicit in the crime until the perpetrator is apprehended. Especially when the investigation is dragging. So let's get back to it, shall we?"		476
483	Kim Kitsuragi	He studies your face for signs of offence. "Don't take it personally -- it's just that security guards kept on by large corporations tend to be better trained and better armed than officers of the RCM."		477
484	You	"So you're saying I didn't kill him?"		482

741	Kim Kitsuragi	"You're barking up the wrong tree. I don't speak a word of Seolite, I've never met either one of my grandparents. And I've never been to Seol." He seems almost proud of these things. "I'm a regular Revacholiere."		745
742	Empathy	He's glad to have shot down your question.		744
