And again..." 54 Kim Kitsuragi: "I've had this conversation enough times in my life. From now on, I'm  going to stay out of it. How you choose to respond is your business." He concludes: "But be careful. Now, let's move on." 2->54 3 You: "Relax, I was practising the time-honoured technique known as the 'lie'." 50 Kim Kitsuragi: "I suppose that's a relief. Just be careful how often you avail yourself of this 'technique'. A lie may be useful in the short-term, but they have a way of catching up with you later." 3->50 4 Kim Kitsuragi: The lieutenant falls silent and looks down at his boots. Whether he thinks you have a point or not, he isn't saying. It's unclear what this means for your relationship. Then he speaks... 25 Jump to: [Kim Kitsuragi: ""Let me say just one more thing. As..."] 4->25 5 You: "It's not about me. As police officers, we gain nothing by staking out the moral high ground over him." 28 Kim Kitsuragi: "Our position in Revachol is already precarious: Many people think we're vigilantes as it is. I can't have them thinking we're *racist* vigilantes to boot." 5->28 6 Kim Kitsuragi: "Wonderful." The lieutenant falls silent. His expression is hard to read, but it certainly doesn't look *happy*. Then he speaks... 6->25 7 You: "Wait, am I becoming some sort of Death's Head Racist suddenly?!" 21 Kim Kitsuragi: "I don't know what you mean by *death's head* but it certainly looks like you're becoming a racist, officer." 7->21 8 You: "I've got nothing against them, but we have a responsibility to future generations." 8->6 9 Kim Kitsuragi: "And what exactly do you think should happen to those with *undesirable* traits?" 9->7 9->8 22 You: (Shrug.) "Let Nature sort them out." 9->22 10 Rhetoric: Wait a second. Are you sure you want to go there? Even if you succeed, you're going to fail. 15 Variable["jam.truckman_rhetoric_blocks_race_justification"] 10->15 11 Kim Kitsuragi: "I've had this conversation enough times in my life. From now on, I'm going to stay out of it. How you choose to respond is your business." He concludes: "Now -- let's get back to the task at hand." 12 Rhetoric: Hoo boy, we're really doing this. 65 redcheckhubs 12->65 13 You: "Of course. But he's also not entirely responsible for them. I haven't been in this world for long -- already I'm a product of my environment." 49 Kim Kitsuragi: "There are tens of thousands of people who grew up in Martinaise and somehow managed to avoid becoming racists who yell 'Come here, saffron picker' at passers by." 13->49 14 Kim Kitsuragi: "Apology accepted, detective." The lieutenant relaxes. A weight seems to have been lifted from his shoulders. 61 Jump to: [Kim Kitsuragi: ""Let me say just one more thing.

I'm in the right here. 16->52 67 You: On second thought, maybe I don't. 16->67 44 Kim Kitsuragi: "Stop right there. I know what you're going to say. Don't. Also -- these attitudes are quite common in Martinaise. So I expect this to happen again. And again." 17->44 18 Kim Kitsuragi: "I'm going to *stop* this conversation." He makes a sudden hand gesture. An open palm. "This is Martinaise. People have certain attitudes here. You will find plenty of citizens to agree with you. As for me..." 39 Jump to: [Kim Kitsuragi: ""I've had this conversation enough..."] 18->39 19 Kim Kitsuragi: "That's good to hear. I don't want there to be any unnecessary friction in our relationship during this *important* case." 19->61 20 You: "That doesn't mean they don't have rights. If they're perpetrators, then we punish, if they're victims, then we help. That's all there is." 20->4 21->25 30 Kim Kitsuragi: "Well," he says after taking a moment to collect himself. "You've made your views on the subject quite clear..." Another little pause. 22->30 23 Kim Kitsuragi: "And what point would that be?" 58 dontberacist 23->58 24 Rhetoric: Okay... feels like this is going to be a *discussion* now. 24->5 24->13 37 You: "Maybe he's got a point." 24->37 60 Kim Kitsuragi: "Let me say just one more thing. As you've seen, these sorts of attitudes are quite common in Martinaise. So I expect this to happen again. And again..." 25->60 26 Rhetoric: Okay. You think there's a way out of this. 26->20 27 You: "I don't really want to talk about it." [Leave.] 48 Kim Kitsuragi: The lieutenant looks at you in silence, though you cannot discern if he's judging you or not. "I suppose your reasons are your own." 27->48 28->58 29 You: Forget it, this was a dumb idea. 72 Rhetoric: Now you're thinking sensibly. 29->72 30->25 31 You: "I was just trying to convey that I understood his grievances and wasn't judging him for having them." 47 Kim Kitsuragi: The lieutenant narrows his gaze. "So you *don't* find his views... say, *unbefitting of a police officer*?" 31->47 32 You: Yes. 33 You: Variable["jam.kitsuragi_justifying_racism_to_kim"] 32->33 34 Variable["jam.kitsuragi_justifying_racism_to_kim"] 33->34 35 !(Variable["jam.kitsuragi_justifying_racism_to_kim"]) 33->35 62 Variable["jam.kitsuragi_justifying_racism_to_kim"] 34->62 35->62 36 You: "You're right.

I didn't mean to cau..."] 38->36 39->11 71 Suggestion: Well, now you've done it. Let's see if you can talk your way out of this one. 40->71 42 Variable["reputation.kim"] > 3 41->42 43 !(Variable["reputation.kim"] > 3) 41->43 42->14 43->19 44->11 46 You: "Look, what happens when the races get all mixed up?" 46->18 47->24 51 Jump to: [Kim Kitsuragi: ""Let me say just one more thing. As..."] 48->51 49->28 69 Drama: We know a *lie*, sire. And it didn't feel like one to us. He chooses to believe though -- for now. 50->69 51->60 73 Rhetoric: Are you sure about that? 52->73 53 Kim Kitsuragi: The lieutenant says nothing, waiting for you to continue. 59 You: "It's only rational for a society to select for the most desirable traits. That's how it works in Nature." 53->59 55 You: "It's basic biology." 55->53 56 Rhetoric: Here we go. Zoom in on the mixed races part. It's the best one. 56->46 57 kimihubi 57->3 57->27 57->31 58->36 66 You: "Well, *actually*..." 58->66 59->9 60->11 61->60 63 Variable["jam.kitsuragi_justifying_racism_to_kim"] 62->63 64 !(Variable["jam.kitsuragi_justifying_racism_to_kim"]) 62->64 63->12 64->56 65->55 70 You: "Everyone thinks they're better than other people. Some people are just particularly crude about it." 65->70 66->10 67->72 68 Kim Kitsuragi: "There's a difference between saying something crude -- and an ideological racist." 68->26 69->2 70->68 71->57 72->38 73->29 73->32
