"Druggies, prostitutes and rentiers." 1->398 2 Physical Instrument: What was that about *steroids*? It piqued your interest... 241 Conceptualization: There was something about a statue, and nihilistic advertising agency people? Might be worth investigating... 2->241 3 You: "You had a thousand chances to kill him." 209 The Deserter: "And I blew them all. What does it matter now? He's gone. Ancient dust." 3->209 4 Composure: What strikes you about this gaunt man is not the stomach pain, or the cough, or the malnutrition. It's precisely what you could *not* see before. For a man who's spent 44 years hidden in the urban wild... 669 You: He is surprisingly okay. 4->669 5 Composure: What strikes you about this gaunt man is not the stomach pain, or the cough, or the malnutrition.

Wouldn't his *glands* have... stopped by now? 6->211 368 You: "Mr. Dros, are you okay? How is your memory?" (Finish the examination.) 6->368 633 You: "How about pyrholidon?" 6->633 756 You: Dementia? 6->756 133 The Deserter: "Like some kind of decadent rock star?" He doesn't dignify it with more of an answer. 7->133 8 The Deserter: "The worst of them is the blood-drenched *soucriant* on her yacht, licking her lips. The old whore's gone now, her gun toting porcelain men are dead -- so, actually, no..." 213 The Deserter: "The *worst* is that old cock parading around in his uniform, throwing balls all day. It's not enough that the racists and liberals are dancing on our graves! The old loyalist ghouls still parade the ruins too." 8->213 9 The Deserter: "Glad? It's all gone..." He stares into the dust at his feet. Grey and dirty spring grass all around. 680 Jump to: [themainhub] 9->680 10 You: "Pale in waiting?" 635 The Deserter: "The end." He nods. "The pale will swallow all of this. The water, the sky, the city. Soon. There is nothing to be serious about." He shakes his head.

It's a monument to what you did. To your program of de-statuing Revachol." 16->599 17 You: "As you ought to. *Communism* style." 381 The Deserter: "Straight to Yekokataa for this old revisionist." He gives you a little nod. "At last -- atonement for my sins: revisionism, reactionary ideation, desertion..." 17->381 18 Variable["tc.statue_was_shot"] 19 Variable["tc.statue_was_shot"] 18->19 20 !(Variable["tc.statue_was_shot"]) 18->20 290 Inland Empire: You feel like you're forgetting something... never mind. It's not important. Push on! 19->290 560 Jump to: [bonus_hatred_hub] 20->560 21 You: "You mean Edgar, Evrart's brother?" 683 The Deserter: The old man chortles with a nod. "He talks a big game about *uprising* and *social base* -- they must have sent the smart one to some University in Le Jardin where it's 'alienation' this and 'hegemony' that..." 21->683 22 edgar_the_union 22->21 59 You: "Doesn't Evrart run the Union?" 22->59 23 Variable["pier.joyce_intro_evrart_happened"] 24 Variable["pier.joyce_intro_evrart_happened"] 23->24 25 !(Variable["pier.joyce_intro_evrart_happened"]) 23->25 413 Logic: That's around the time the Claires came to power. 24->413 62 Jump to: [welcome_to_evrart] 25->62 26 You: "What did you talk about?" 534 The Deserter: "Edgar did the talking. Paid his *respects*, like I were a fossil in a uniform. Offered platitudes about *the struggle*, flaunted his pink degree. Even quoted Mazov." 26->534 27 You: "Indeed." (Don't tell him.) 300 The Deserter: "I've heard it on the radio too, that boom-boom. It's the same violent decadence all over again for the hundredth time... Misanthropy masquerading as culture." 27->300 28 Volition: Get over it, proceed! 653 Jump to: [bonus_hatred_hub] 28->653 29 Logic: He acknowledges it. Here we go, a twist, behind the dark bend... 422 You: "Who *did*?" 29->422 30 The Deserter: "Heading home to Grand Couron or Betancourt... Some place like that. Where they build those new batiments for the people who flourish in the hell around her. And the ruins..." 306 Drama: Be abstract here. A bit of drama. 30->306 31 You: "How come?" 189 The Deserter: "Because the cow caught a bullet in her right lung. Fell into the canal grasping her tit and drowned. Or bled -- hard to say. It was a sloppy job. On a moving target." 31->189 32 IsKimHere() 33 IsKimHere() 32->33 34 !(IsKimHere()) 32->34 266 Kim Kitsuragi: "I don't think now is the time for this, officer." The lieutenant tries to nip it... 33->266 383 The Deserter: "*Beats...*" The old man scoffs. "Violent bourgeois language. Even music is a form of homicidal competition. Saxophone blowing anti-communism..." His voice trails off into a gust of sea wind. 34->383 35 Kim Kitsuragi: "I don't think now is the time for this, officer." The lieutenant tries to nip it... 232 Conceptualization: ...to no avail! 35->232 36 Variable["seafort.deserter_comp_finish_interrogation"] 37 Variable["seafort.deserter_comp_finish_interrogation"] 36->37 38 !(Variable["seafort.deserter_comp_finish_interrogation"]) 36->38 667 Jump to: [bonus_hatred_hub] 37->667 696 Volition: Get a hold of yourself, this is just one little thing.

I even hid one bullet so I'd always have one. For him..." The lines on his face straighten as he looks inland. "Haven't seen him there lately... must be down with arthritis. Old cunt..." "Better. I even hid one bullet so I'd always have one. For him..." The lines on his face straighten as he looks inland. "Haven't seen him around lately, strutting around... must be down with arthritis. I hope it hurts like hell. I hope he sweats blood." 203 Variable["plaza.rene_know_dead"] 40->203 41 You: "Bad arthritis, yes. He's not playing this week." (Lie.) 780 The Deserter: "Heh, yes of course." He seems to relax a bit. "I hope it hurts like hell, I hope he sweats blood. Must be torture -- not to be throwing his balls for a *whole week*..." 41->780 42 Jump to: [bonus_hatred_hub] 330 bonus_hatred_hub 42->330 43 Cuno: The kid watches you violently beat yourself in the head -- in order to make a connection in the murder case. The kid watches you beat yourself in the head -- again. The second time in this interview. 554 Jump to: [Cuno: ""Yo, Cuno doesn't understand what's..."] 43->554 44 IsKimHere() 45 IsKimHere() 44->45 46 !(IsKimHere()) 44->46 79 Kim Kitsuragi: "I'm sorry, Mr. Dros," the lieutenant says, softly. "I understand you knew him for a long time." 45->79 755 Logic: If he really wanted to kill him so bad, he would have done. There must have been a thousand *black days* on these islands, his health ailing. 46->755 47 Volition: Ask about that 'cock on parade' too. Make sure you get everything here. 47->330 48 Composure: For a sixty-year-old man with stomach trouble -- who's spent his entire life alone on an uninhabited island -- he seems surprisingly fit. 581 You: That's it? (Squint at him.) 48->581 174 The Deserter: "No!" he snaps out of staring through you. "I won't be stuffed full of shit like the rest of this city." 49->174 50 You: "That all?" 50->8 51 The Deserter: "You're obsessed with your own features," he shakes his head, "because it's all you have left. The rich man took everything from you. Except your bottle." 332 The Deserter: "And he left you here -- gesturing at your swollen face. The rich man rules over you and over the world. And he laughs at your fidgeting." He stares into the dead embers. 51->332 52 Jump to: [bonus_hatred_hub] 52->330 53 You: "Let's get serious for a moment. This is the *real world* -- and in the real world it *means* something if your skin is a certain colour and you say things." 251 The Deserter: "I've seen the *real world*. In '06. The flags unfolding. Young people marching, being kind to each other. They dreamt of a million years in the stars. This here..." He looks down at the ashes. "Is pale in waiting." 53->251 54 The Deserter: "Women like her *feed* on the life energy of young working class men." He nods. "And they *let* her...." 754 The Deserter: "I can't *believe* the inert lumpen out there. They just let her drive her little boat like that. No violence, not even a robbery. The working class has lost their appetite for justice..." His voice trails off in disappointment. 54->754 55 IsKimHere() 56 IsKimHere() 55->56 57 !(IsKimHere()) 55->57 645 Kim Kitsuragi: "Mhm," the lieutenant hums. "Straight to the open pit mine. Or cleaning up radiation in Severnaya Zemlja." 56->645 765 The Deserter: "Yes, well..." the ancient communard sizes you both up, not sure what to think of it. 57->765 58 Authority: Accusations of corruption. Push them aside with a sharp change of topic, officer! Put the heat on *him*. 147 Variable["seafort.deserter_union_chat_done"] 58->147 338 The Deserter: "That mobster toad couldn't run a shit-house. He has *no* political education. His twin, Edgar Claire, that one's been to one of those East Revachol Universities. He talks a big game about uprising and alienation and so on..." 59->338 60 The Deserter: "First against the wall with him..." He's stopped poking at the ash now, just shakes his head. 152 IsKimHere() 60->152 61 talking_union 340 You: "Okay, got it." 61->340 605 You: "You've talked to Edgar?" 61->605 607 You: "We're not the first people you've met from the city, are we?" 61->607 291 welcome_to_evrart 62->291 63 You: "She was also a woman, wasn't she? Like that Klaasje..." "She was also a *woman*, wasn't she? " 344 The Deserter: "She was. And she was real soft on those money-men. Had a Barbara Muskova bag over her shoulder that she liked to bring to work..." 63->344 64 Encyclopedia: Barbara Muskova and Numb 12, Joyce Messier's choices... 224 You: "And then she just... disappeared." 64->224 735 You: "Women do like their Barbara Muskova and their Numb 12..." 64->735 65 The Deserter: "Mmmhm... She'd probably spray a tanker full of that *shit* on her. Of course, I never got close enough to smell it..." 65->224 66 Half Light: Another, big spike of rage. Different from the one he has for her... 566 The Deserter: "Nothing changed. Not in the *material base*, not in the *hegemony*, there was no uprising. Just words... The Union fizzled, sogged. Nothing came of it. Nothing." 66->566 67 Authority: Dumbo, do something, you can't zone out now, this isn't doodle-loo dance time. 743 Variable["seafort.deserter_slapped_yourself_once"] 67->743 68 Logic: By god, we are on the edge! In the very end -- and you can't even remember what you're trying to connect, can you? While the murder suspect stares at you with contempt! 456 Jump to: [red_failure] 68->456 69 You: "Something with the Union boss... the elections. The previous leader..." 660 The Deserter: "What?" He's beginning to sense it now. Something is off. 69->660 70 You: "Whoa-whoa. Let's back off before you get too agitated." 274 The Deserter: "What is there to be *agitated* about? The unholy ghoul?!" His hand trembles with rage. "I love him there. He reminds me of everything we fought for. At least we killed that Frissel and his kingsmen..." He's overtaken by a coughing fit. 70->274 71 IsKimHere() 72 IsKimHere() 71->72 73 !(IsKimHere()) 71->73 165 Kim Kitsuragi: "Save the treat for later?" the lieutenant asks cheerfully. 72->165 276 IsCunoInParty() 73->276 74 Variable["seafort.deserter_told_rene_is_dead"] 75 Variable["seafort.deserter_told_rene_is_dead"] 74->75 76 !(Variable["seafort.deserter_told_rene_is_dead"]) 74->76 124 The Deserter: "I don't even care about those whores anymore..." He stares despondently into the reeds. "Get it over with. Take me in." 75->124 590 The Deserter: "Whores..." is all he says. Even that word has to be pushed through his teeth with great force. The rage seethes too hard. 76->590 77 Rhetoric: He's drunk, she thinks. And we all know it. Still, she's just *trying* to see it in a  generous light... 321 Jump to: [bonus_hatred_hub] 77->321 78 Esprit de Corps: "Policework?" Patrol Officer Judit Minot replies, with a tinge of hope in her voice. A tinge of warmth too, against the cold air rising from the water... 78->77 173 The Deserter: "They're all dead now." He just shakes his head. "Fuck it..." 79->173 80 Logic: That's it! That's what you weren't connecting yourself... 387 The Deserter: "I didn't fight forty years to end up an informant for the international regime." He wags a finger at the lieutenant. "What happened happened." 80->387 81 You: Animated? By what? 582 Composure: It's a mystery. This animation comes at a cost too: erratic hand gestures, thought processes cut off like threads, as he just stares at the logs or the reeds. He also suffers mood swings, bubbling to the surface, unconstrained by his nervous system. 81->582 83 Variable["seafort.deserter_composure_white_succeeded"] 82->83 84 !(Variable["seafort.deserter_composure_white_succeeded"]) 82->84 129 Variable["seafort.deserter_wc_health_failed_once"] 83->129 470 Variable["seafort.deserter_wc_health_failed_once"] 84->470 85 Jump to: [what_ails_him] 85->6 86 Kim Kitsuragi: "You said you take painkillers..." The lieutenant follows your lead. 513 The Deserter: "I take them to cope with pain. The people of this city use painkillers, because they have *pain*. Untreated illnesses, not enough money for a greedy doctor." 86->513 87 The Deserter: "Because of the *racists*. Everyone is a racist in Martinaise, it's their favourite thing to do in the whole world -- listening to race-themed radio shows. In the ruins, in their lorries." He points inland. 139 The Deserter: "Pumped full of steroids and Radio Revachol '92. Race this, race that... It's all sanctioned by that social democratic Union and the farce of a social democrat who runs it..." 87->139 88 The Deserter: "The rich man doesn't care about *complexion*. He rules the world. And he laughs at your moral soliloquies." He stares into the dead embers. 673 Rhetoric: Now wait a moment. Let's get serious here. 88->673 89 The Deserter: "And your race garbage. You can keep that too, keep the conversation going for the rich man, on Channel 4, eroding working class solidarity." He stares into the dead embers. 89->673 90 You: "Got it." 524 Jump to: [The Deserter: ""Steroids and radio shows..."

Some *advertising* cockroaches erected a cynical, *deconstruction* of it. We tore it down with honest working class plastic explosives -- and there it is again..." He shakes his head in disgust. 92->445 93 The Deserter: "Delusional art bourgeois..." He waves you off. 380 Jump to: [shooty_heartz] 93->380 94 The Deserter: "We did always have the prettiest posters... Maybe you're right." His eyes fill with understanding. "That *is* how dialectics work. But understand this -- art is *still* a bourgeois institution." 409 The Deserter: He coughs, then adds, in a gravelly voice. "And they should all still be sent to Yekokataa." 94->409 95 The Deserter: "Don't be squeamish. It is *commonplace* to relocate the workforce as the need arises. All nations do it. It's called settlement."

But Martinaise..." he shakes his head in grave disgust, "Martinaise is the worst." 138 You: "How come?" 135->138 136 The Deserter: "Yes, the fly larva in his container. He let some nihilistic advertising yuppies erect a statue of Filippe III -- a syphilitic murderer -- on the town square. To spit on the working class." 176 You: Let him finish, do not interrupt. 136->176 588 You: "Anything more?" 136->588 137 The Deserter: "We did good when we pushed him under that horse car. If only... in the Thirties, those *disco whores*..." What follows is ominous mumbling. You cannot make out a single word. 439 Half Light: The disco whores are too much; hatred shuts down his brain's language centre, leaving only a nonsensical sputter. 137->439 138->87 178 You: "Mr. Claire?" 139->178 283 You: "Parody of a social democrat?" 139->283 140 The Deserter: "Yes -- *steroids*.
