It took some convincing, but I got the mercenary's name and a few biographical details. Are you ready?" "Yes. I got the mercenary's name and a few biographical details. Are you ready?" 3->120 150 Alice: Variable["plaza.alice_serial_number_stalled_once"] 4->150 5 Alice: "No problem, officer. Just glad we got it straightened out. I'll contact the ICP database immediately. Call back tomorrow. Hopefully they'll have dug up something useful to your investigation by then." 99 Jump to: [tc.icp] 5->99 6 Alice: "Officer, as much as I appreciate your efforts to lighten the mood, we both have important work to get back to. Did you have any other *serious* questions?" "Officer, I suspect you're just trying to keep me on the line, and I just... don't have time for this. Do you have any other *serious* questions?" 62 Jump to: [The actual Radio HUB] 6->62 7 You: "This doesn't seem relevant to my investigation." (Conclude the conversation.) 195 Alice: "It's all I could learn, I'm afraid. That's the serial number you gave me. Anything else I can do for you?" 7->195 8 Visual Calculus: A suit of armour like this would have been manufactured with a particular person's physique in mind. You should ask for whom this suit was fitted. 81 Alice: Variable["plaza.kineema_serial_concept_particular"] 8->81 9 Alice: "Sure. Call back tomorrow. Hopefully I will have more information for you then." 133 Jump to: [The actual Radio HUB] 9->133 10 Esprit de Corps: This is a fun challenge for her, an opportunity to contribute beyond doing her job by rote. She'll gladly put in the extra effort for team RCM! 74 You: "Yes, please do try. It's imperative that we learn whose armour this was." 10->74 84 You: "Yes, thank you, officer. I really appreciate your efforts in this case." 10->84 85 You: "You are my beautiful conquering heroine." 10->85 11 You: "Lelystad is probably where he got the name *Lely*." "Lelystad is probably where he got the name Lely." 105 Alice: IsKimHere() 11->105 12 Encyclopedia: I don't know about you, but I really, really enjoyed it. Worked out really well in the end. 171 Alice: Variable["XP.encyc_serial_number"] 12->171 13 Kim Kitsuragi: The lieutenant leans in to listen, notebook in hand. 86 Untitled hub 13->86 14 You: "So all we have to connect him to Krenel is the armour." 15 Alice: IsKimHere() 14->15 16 IsKimHere() 15->16 17 !(IsKimHere()) 15->17 125 Kim Kitsuragi: "Even that is a small miracle -- these *organizations* usually double check their inventory." He leans closer and shouts: "Thank you, Alice. Great work!" 16->125 103 Alice: "Even that took quite a bit of convincing to retrieve the information from the database, officer." 17->103 18 You: "Well, we have his name and service record now."

However, the first ten characters tracked to a custom-made baby stroller made in Vaasa City ten years ago." 20->101 30 Alice: "They couldn't find anything on the full code you gave me. However, the first eight characters were match for a series of paintings by Tobias Pren -- you know, that artist who recently hanged himself?" 21->30 22 Alice: Variable["tc.crenel"] 23 Variable["tc.crenel"] 22->23 24 !(Variable["tc.crenel"]) 22->24 96 You: "I'm guessing one of its names is Krenel." 23->96 45 You: "Do you know what it's called now?" 24->45 25 Alice: "The most recently registered firm that the ICP has been able to connect to the CdP is a military contractor called *Krenel*. And the one before it was Downwell. I think they might be the same contractor." 25->8 26 Alice: "He was found as a newborn, in a leaf compactor, near an abandoned farm. He spent four months in the neonatal unit -- survived, apparently -- and was assigned to a foster family at two." 36 Alice: Variable["whirling.klaasje_katarzine_lelystad"]  and  Variable["tc.name_kortenaer"] 26->36 27 Kim Kitsuragi: The lieutenant nods -- then jots it down in his notes: "Lelystad -- Lely.

"What were his paintings like?" 131 Alice: "Very pretty pictures of assorted wildlife meant to inspire viewers and look good over couches in office building lobbies." She hesitates. "I've always sort of thought they were trash." 33->131 34 Alice: "Celebrity problems." 44 Electrochemistry: She means pills and alcohol. See, pills and alcohol make you *a celebrity*. Hasn't it been a while since you've had any? 34->44 35 Kim Kitsuragi: "Armour like this isn't mass-produced -- it would have probably been fitted. Perhaps there's a record of who signed for this particular suit of armour." 155 diearmorhubbe 35->155 37 Variable["whirling.klaasje_katarzine_lelystad"]  and  Variable["tc.name_kortenaer"] 36->37 38 !(Variable["whirling.klaasje_katarzine_lelystad"]  and  Variable["tc.name_kortenaer"]) 36->38 146 Inland Empire: According to Klaasje, Lely said his real name wasn't really *his* -- perhaps that's because he was fostered? 37->146 189 Alice: Variable["tc.name_lely"]  and  Variable["whirling.klaasje_katarzine_lelystad"] == false 38->189 39 Jump to: [thehubwhereithappened] 39->66 40 Inland Empire: This means something to him. To know that name. Like naming a case. It's important. 185 Esprit de Corps: Sometimes police work is about human dignity -- about giving back names to anonymous victims. 40->185 42 ease_of_use_hub 88 You: "You're right. I meant to say E50.100.1000. Sorry for the confusion." 42->88 167 You: "That's definitely the right number." 42->167 43 You: "Cool... and what's the Moralintern?" 43->6 44->7 49 You: "Art is extremely relevant to my investigation. Thank you." (Conclude the conversation.) 44->49 63 You: "I'm not sure how this relates to my investigation yet, but I'm sure it does." (Conclude the conversation.) 44->63 45->25 46 Alice: "Sorry, sir. I still haven't heard back from the database people. Try calling again later. Is there anything else I can do for you?" 56 Jump to: [The actual Radio HUB] 46->56 47 Authority: There's a slightly weary, condescending note in her voice. She doesn't trust your professionalism following your rather tasteless come-ons. 47->42 48 Alice: "Yes. The armour was produced by..." She looks at her notes. "Fairweather in their facilities in Betancourt, Sur-la-Clef, in '42." 79 Alice: "It was part of a special order for Corps de Pharmacie, a security firm contracted to protect the interests of Oranjese pharmaceutical companies. In the Semenine conflict." 48->79 132 Alice: "Great. Anything else I can do for you?" 49->132 50->7 50->33 50->49 50->63 95 You: "No, why did he hang himself?" "Why did he hang himself?" 50->95 51 Alice: "That suit of armour was issued to an Oranjese citizen named Ellis Kortenaer -- that's E-L-L-I-S K-O-R-T-E-N-A-E-R. Exact date of birth unknown. He was signed into the Lelystad County Neonatal Care Unit on 28th of February, ’09." 135 You: "Neonatal Care Unit?" 51->135 52 You: "The world will end soon." 109 Alice: "Okay." She's not worried. "Does that mean you're ready?" 52->109 53 Alice: IsKimHere() 54 IsKimHere() 53->54 55 !(IsKimHere()) 53->55 78 Kim Kitsuragi: "It is!

Hopefully they'll have dug up something useful by then." 141 Alice: Variable["tc.icp"] 58->141 59 Alice: "Yes, but the ICP tends to be reluctant to share private sector records. I could try to talk them into it, though." 59->10 60 Jump to: [The actual Radio HUB] 60->7760201 61 Alice: "No problem, lieutenant." She sounds pleased. 67 Authority: A compliment from Lieutenant Kitsuragi! Not bad. 61->67 62->7760201 64 Alice: "I hope so. Anything else I can do for you?" 63->64 64->12 65 Alice: "This is what the ICP knows about him: He was raised by foster parents, entered the Ijsbrand Military Academy -- in Vredefort -- at 17, then served in the Oranjese forces till he was honourably discharged in '41, just a year before the Semenese conflict." 148 Alice: "Then the armour followed him to Semenine -- or at least I assume it did. And that's it. There are no records of his employment in Krenel. Or any of its other incarnations. Or him even entering Revachol. 65->148 66->11 66->14 66->18 104 You: "Any information on his foster parents?" 66->104 193 You: "Wait, he was found in a... leaf compactor?" 66->193 198 You: "So his name wasn't *his* because he was fostered?" 66->198 136 Jump to: [thehubwhereithappened] 67->136 68 Alice: "I'm glad the inquiry was helpful to your investigation, officer. Did you have any other questions?" 196 Jump to: [The actual Radio HUB] 68->196 69 Jump to: [The actual Radio HUB] 69->7760201 70 Alice: "Sure, officer. What's the number? And the make of the armour, if you know it?" 100 You: "E50.100.1000. The make and model of the armour is Fairweather T-500 / VE." 70->100 140 You: "X54156745678222.

The make and model of the armour is Fairweather T-500 / VE." 70->153 72 Alice: "Just doing my job, officer. Was there anything else?" 71->72 192 Drama: We're still glad you did it, my liege. This was good training. For when you need to lie to save your life maybe? 72->192 73 Alice: "Yes!" She seems glad you guessed it. "That is the most recent name the ICP has been able to connect to the CdP. And the one before it was Downwell. I also have one called Sediment -- but I think that might be a different contractor..." 98 Alice: You hear her fingers on a keyboard. "No, they were called *Sediment*. And *Somatosensor*, it seems. All that during the last nine years." 73->98 74->9 75 Alice: Variable["plaza.kineema_serial_told_right"] 76 Variable["plaza.kineema_serial_told_right"] 75->76 77 !(Variable["plaza.kineema_serial_told_right"]) 75->77 76->48 77->19 78->29 154 Alice: She browses pages. "So... it seems the armour went to Semenine. That's where the paper trail ends, though. Even the firm has proven difficult to track. Corps de Pharmacie has been renamed several times over in the years since the armour was issued." 79->154 188 Alice: "Great. Anything else I could do for you?" 80->188 82 Variable["plaza.kineema_serial_concept_particular"] 81->82 83 !(Variable["plaza.kineema_serial_concept_particular"]) 81->83 82->155 156 Alice: IsKimHere() 83->156 160 Alice: "Glad to help.

Their client list is rather diverse. And... incomplete. The only constant seems to be that the mercenaries are always deployed in third- and fourth-world countries." 97->159 98->8 99->141 100->58 101->31 102 Alice: "I'm glad the inquiry was helpful to your investigation, officer.

She seems confused for a second. "They keep detailed records of all military technology produced by licensed manufacturers. That's one of the reasons the Moralintern spearheaded the creation of the ICP in the first place." 108->187 109->145 109->178 110 Kim Kitsuragi: "Hah! Yes -- what Klaasje said. Very good.
