DOOMED HIDDEN WEAPONS CACHE - 467

G 0 START 1 input 0->1 38 A Hole in the Wall: A few bricks have fallen off, revealing a compartment behind the wall. It's too dark to see in. 1->38 2 Kim Kitsuragi: "It means there are firearms -- breechloaders -- still lying around in Martinaise. This would have been good in our case against Ruby for Titus. Too late for that now, but still -- might be useful down the road..." 87 Empathy: He likes this find. 2->87 3 A Hole in the Wall: It means there are firearms -- albeit inoperable -- still lying around Martinaise. This is an interesting coincidence. Could prove useful in some way. You don't know *how* yet, but it might be useful down the road… 20 Logic: This is a good find. Really justifies coming down here and looking around. 3->20 4 You: "Could the murder weapon we're looking for be similar?" 79 Kim Kitsuragi: "It's the same *type* of weapon, yes. A breechloader. An interesting coincidence that we should find something so similar. But I'm afraid our search for the real murder weapon must continue." 4->79 5 Kim Kitsuragi: "It's the same *type* of weapon, yes -- a breechloader. But it's not the same gun. This one's been out of order for *years...* I'm afraid our search for the real murder weapon must continue." 93 Jump to: [kim hub] 5->93 6 You: So there's a hole in the wall. 14 A Hole in the Wall: There is. Inside it's nothing but gloomy blackness. Better not stick your hand inside! 6->14 7 Jump to: [no kim hub] 45 no kim hub 7->45 8 A Hole in the Wall: Wait, what, really? You're not going to look inside a secret compartment behind the wall? Okay, officer... *Okay*. 12 Jump to: [no kim hub] 8->12 9 Kim Kitsuragi: "It means there are firearms -- breechloaders -- still lying around in Martinaise. This could prove useful in our case against Ruby for Titus. Men are easily swayed by the sight of a rifle." 9->87 10 Jump to: [kim hub] 61 kim hub 10->61 12->45 13 Kim Kitsuragi: "Seems like an old bunker from the Revolutionary period. Look at all those rifles..." He points up, at the rifles under the ceiling. "Must be an old weapons cache." 52 Jump to: [kim hub] 13->52 19 You: Stick your hand inside the hole. 14->19 40 You: Never mind. 14->40 15 Variable["tc.revolution"] 16 Variable["tc.revolution"] 15->16 17 !(Variable["tc.revolution"]) 15->17 70 Encyclopedia: Seems like an old weapons cache from the Revolutionary period. 16->70 22 Jump to: [no kim hub] 17->22 18 Kim Kitsuragi: "It's yours, officer." He hands you the gun. "You found this place." 57 Variable["TASK.advanced_ballistics_analysis_done"] 18->57 88 A Hole in the Wall: Your hand reaches deep into darkness and spider webs, rummaging around. You find a number of rusty rifles, hidden away... Most of them are ugly and inoperable, but a single rifle catches your eye. It's a bolt-action with a fine wood stock. 19->88 29 Jump to: [no kim hub] 20->29 21 A Hole in the Wall: It means there are firearms -- front loaders -- still lying around Martinaise. This could prove useful in our case against Ruby for Titus. Men are easily swayed by the sight of a rifle... 21->20 22->45 23 You: Leave it there. 41 A Hole in the Wall: History is best left where it lies. The rifle doesn't work anyway. 23->41 24 Variable["TASK.advanced_ballistics_analysis"] 25 Variable["TASK.advanced_ballistics_analysis"] 24->25 26 !(Variable["TASK.advanced_ballistics_analysis"]) 24->26 25->4 35 Variable["TASK.find_murder_weapon"] 26->35 27 take it or not 27->23 47 You: Take the rifle. 27->47 28 You: "Look, there's a hole in the wall." (Point at the hidden compartment.) "Look, there's a hole in the wall." (Shine light on the hidden compartment.) 92 Kim Kitsuragi: "There is, yes. And there also appears to be something *inside* the hole... Interesting. Do you want to take a look?" 28->92 29->45 30 Variable["TASK.where_is_ruby"] 31 Variable["TASK.where_is_ruby"] 30->31 32 !(Variable["TASK.where_is_ruby"]) 30->32 66 Variable["TASK.where_is_ruby_done"] 31->66 32->3 33 You: "Rifles, Kim!" 60 Kim Kitsuragi: The lieutenant steps closer, curious: "Are these any good?" 33->60 34 Kim Kitsuragi: "An old Belle-Magrave, from the Revolution," the lieutenant notes with approval. His eyes are gleaming. "Seems to no longer be functional, but still -- a beautiful thing, in its own way." "That's a rare sight. Seems to no longer be functional, but still -- a beautiful thing in its own way." The lieutenant whistles as he admires the rifle. His eyes are gleaming. 34->57 36 Variable["TASK.find_murder_weapon"] 35->36 37 !(Variable["TASK.find_murder_weapon"]) 35->37 80 You: "Could the murder weapon we're looking for be similar?" 36->80 37->93 53 IsKimHere() 38->53 39 A Hole in the Wall: Your hand reaches deep into darkness and spider webs, rummaging around. You find rusty rifles, hidden away... 39->33 94 You: Inspect the rifles. 39->94 40->8 41->7 42 Kim Kitsuragi: "An old Belle-Magrave rifle -- that's *rare* to find in such good order. Seems to no longer be functional, but still -- rare. Here..." 77 Esprit de Corps: This should cheer you up. 42->77 43 Hand/Eye Coordination: An old Belle-Magrave rifle, Revolutionary-era. Prized for its reliability more than it's accuracy. The rest are probably Belle-Magraves too, just too damaged to be identified. 81 Variable["TASK.advanced_ballistics_analysis_done"] 43->81 44 You: "What does this mean -- a rifle here?" 73 Variable["TASK.where_is_ruby"] 44->73 45->6 51 You: What does this mean -- a rifle here? 45->51 76 You: Where am I? 45->76 78 You: [Leave.] 45->78 46 You: "This one looks nice." (Take the rifle.) "This old Belle-Magrave looks okay..." (Take the rifle.) 46->34 95 A Hole in the Wall: A fit service weapon for a fit officer. Too bad it doesn't work -- it looks like it's been out of order for years. 47->95 48 Variable["TASK.where_is_ruby_done"] 49 Variable["TASK.where_is_ruby_done"] 48->49 50 !(Variable["TASK.where_is_ruby_done"]) 48->50 49->2 50->9 51->30 52->61 54 IsKimHere() 53->54 55 !(IsKimHere()) 53->55 54->61 55->45 56 Hand/Eye Coordination: An old Belle-Magrave rifle, Revolutionary-era. Prized for its reliability more than it's accuracy. The rest are probably Belle-Magraves too, just too damaged to be sure. 89 Authority: Take it! You're a police officer. Police officers carry guns. 56->89 58 Variable["TASK.advanced_ballistics_analysis_done"] 57->58 59 !(Variable["TASK.advanced_ballistics_analysis_done"]) 57->59 91 You: "Isn't that the same gun that fired the fatal bullet?" 58->91 59->24 60->94 61->28 61->44 62 You: "Where are we?" (Look around the secret room.) 61->62 61->78 62->13 63 You: "No, you do the honours." (Back off.) 85 Kim Kitsuragi: "Sure," he nods and steps closer. "Okay, here's some more rifles... None of these seem to be working. And oh..." His hand reaches in, rummaging in the dark... 63->85 64 A Hole in the Wall: Inside a secret room infested with rats, spiders, and woodlice. 64->15 65 A Hole in the Wall: It means there are firearms -- front loaders -- still lying around Martinaise. This would have been good in our case against Ruby for Titus. Too late for that now, but still -- might be useful down the road... 65->20 67 Variable["TASK.where_is_ruby_done"] 66->67 68 !(Variable["TASK.where_is_ruby_done"]) 66->68 67->65 68->21 69 Reaction Speed: This is definitely the same make of gun as the one that fired the fatal bullet in the murder case. It's not the murder weapon itself, but still... you should have it, just in case. 69->27 70->22 71 Kim Kitsuragi: "It means there are firearms -- albeit inoperable -- still lying around in Martinaise. It's an interesting coincidence, I would say. Might come in useful in the future." 71->87 72 Untitled hub (04) 72->63 84 You: "Okay, I do..." (Look inside.) 72->84 74 Variable["TASK.where_is_ruby"] 73->74 75 !(Variable["TASK.where_is_ruby"]) 73->75 74->48 75->71 76->64 77->18 79->93 90 Kim Kitsuragi: "For that we would have to take a closer look at the bullet you found, officer. I wouldn't read too much into this, yet -- what we have discovered here is an *inoperable antique*." 80->90 82 Variable["TASK.advanced_ballistics_analysis_done"] 81->82 83 !(Variable["TASK.advanced_ballistics_analysis_done"]) 81->83 82->69 83->27 84->39 85->42 86 A Hole in the Wall: Most of them are rusty and inoperable like the rest, but one catches your eye -- a bolt action model with a fine wood stock. In better cosmetic order than the others. 86->56 87->10 88->43 89->46 91->5 92->72 93->61 94->86 95->7
