2
You: I can *kind of* smell dreams being ground down by capital.

Jump to: [Rhetoric: "Undoubtedly. And the scent is comin..."]
2->56
3
You: Does that mean there's a communist nearby?
77
Rhetoric: Undoubtedly. And the scent is coming... from that railing over there!
3->77
4
Perception (Smell): You inhale. The cilia along your olfactory epithelium tingle with excitement as they sift through the swirling morass of industrial odours...

Variable["gates.orb_perc_smelled_gates"]
4->49
5
Esprit de Corps: His impatience is feigned. He's curious to see how this *personal errand* shakes out.
41
Rhetoric: What the lieutenant thinks is irrelevant. Your politico-olfactory cortex is lighting up like a holiday display. Look, it's pointing you right... to that railing over there!

Rhetoric: There it is again! There's a spectral smell haunting this industrial harbour. And it smells like...
7->9
72
Rhetoric: There! Do you smell that?
8->72
69
Perception (Smell): Heavy fuel oil, mostly. Because it's an industrial harbour.
9->69
10
Rhetoric: Can you smell it now?
10->4
11
Esprit de Corps: It is a mark of the lieutenant's respect for you that he does not press you on this decidedly *extra-curricular* errand.
12
Rhetoric: The lieutenant lacks your *highly developed* politico-olfactory cortex. The reek of communism is undeniable. And it's coming... from that railing right there!

Kim Kitsuragi: "No offence, detective, but you're not particularly *subtle*."
30
Savoir Faire: The lieutenant's right. It's sort of amazing how un-subtly you're sniffing the air around you, almost like you're *trying* to call attention to yourself.
13->30
14
You: I *still* don't smell anything.

You: "No."

Kim Kitsuragi: "In the interest of our investigation, I suggest you focus on the case at hand. You can pursue your *political projects* after hours."
19->82
76
Rhetoric: Nonsense. The reek of communism is unmistakable, and it's coming... from that railing over there!

Variable["gates.manana_greeting_done"]
21->60
22
You: Smell what?
27
Rhetoric: Can you not detect that inimitable *whiff* of dissatisfaction and restlessness, that sense that the world is in need of dramatic, even *violent* re-ordering?
22->27
23
You: (Close your eyes and take a deep breath.)
23->10
24
You: "Just taking in the fresh air, like a normal detective."
"Just taking in the morning air, like a normal detective."
"Just taking in the afternoon air, like a normal detective."
"Just taking in the evening air, like a normal detective."
"Just taking in the night air, like a normal detective."

Kim Kitsuragi: "There's a lot to take in, isn't there?" The lieutenant wrinkles his nose.
24->34
25
Kim Kitsuragi: "You're smelling for..."
25->17
26
Kim Kitsuragi: "Well, I'll be over here when you've finished." The lieutenant nudges something on the ground with his foot.

Perception (Smell): In a word, exactly what you would expect to find at any harbour in the industrialized world...

66
Kim Kitsuragi: "I'm struggling to see the connection with our investigation, but I'm sure *all will be revealed* in time."
37->66
38
Drama: The lieutenant issss not persuaded, sssssire.
38->41
39
Esprit de Corps: The lieutenant is not pleased with this turn of events, but it's unlikely that he'll move to intervene to stop them.

Perception (Smell): First come the smells of the agitated strikebreakers, layers of body oil and sweat, over-buttered meals pulled from bakelite lunch pails, the biting stench of lye soap. And then there's the slowly oxidizing metal gates, the scent of stale grease emanating from every crack...
Even though the strikebreakers have departed for the night, their smell lingers, layers of body oil and sweat, over-buttered meals pulled from bakelite lunch pails, the biting stench of lye soap. And then there's the slowly oxidizing metal gates, the scent of stale grease emanating from every crack...
