WHIRLING F1 HARDIE SCAN THE ROOM - 806

G 0 START 1 input 0->1 2 Titus Hardie: "Easy, fellas, we got company," Titus puts an end to it. "Let's see what brings the cop around." 30 Visual Calculus: Too late to stop you. You've already got them all -- including the old bearded man who's smart enough to smoke instead of talking. 2->30 3 Theo: As you can see he doesn't speak a lot... and you almost missed him among the others. 43 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["yard.footprints_seen"] 3->43 4 You: These bandits? Definitely. 86 Visual Calculus: Maybe. But hey, you've stood there for about four seconds, not saying anything. Now is a good time to hit them with questions -- where's the eighth Hardie? 4->86 5 Titus Hardie: "What are you talkin' about, madman? There's no eighth Hardie boy. There's seven of us and we're all here." He sizes you up. 59 Titus Hardie: "Or what -- *you* want to be the eighth Hardie boy? We ain't hiring!" He shakes his head. 5->59 6 Titus Hardie: "Shut the *fuck* up, Glen!" he roars. "I do the talking here! Now what the fuck do you want, cop?" 107 Kim Kitsuragi: IsKimHere() 6->107 7 Jump to: [Hardiehub1] 6400161 JUMP OUT to WHIRLING F1 / HARDIE 7->6400161 8 You: One of them is missing. The Odd Sole? 47 Visual Calculus: Exactly. You've stood there for about four seconds, not saying anything. Hit them with questions -- where's the eighth Hardie? 8->47 9 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["whirling.hardies_viscal_minus1_authority_wc_you_got_them_all_mapped"] 10 Variable["whirling.hardies_viscal_minus1_authority_wc_you_got_them_all_mapped"] 9->10 11 !(Variable["whirling.hardies_viscal_minus1_authority_wc_you_got_them_all_mapped"]) 9->11 64 You: The old bearded man? 10->64 75 You: Ignore it. 10->75 25 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["whirling.hardies_suggestion_now_watch_others_fuck_it_up"] 11->25 12 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["yard.footprints_seen"] 13 Variable["yard.footprints_seen"] 12->13 14 !(Variable["yard.footprints_seen"]) 12->14 56 Visual Calculus: Of course. When you get the time, you could take another look at those tracks in the yard. See if they fit this band of miscreants. 13->56 83 Shanky: "Yeah, what brings you around, copper?" the rat-faced sycophant repeats. 14->83 15 Perception (Sight): Of the actors here. You could take another look at the tracks in the mud -- on the crime scene. Compare it to these guys. 78 Jump to: [Hardiehub1] 15->78 16 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["whirling.hardies_suggestion_now_watch_others_fuck_it_up"] 17 Variable["whirling.hardies_suggestion_now_watch_others_fuck_it_up"] 16->17 18 !(Variable["whirling.hardies_suggestion_now_watch_others_fuck_it_up"]) 16->18 19 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["whirling.klaasje_ruby_leader"] 20 Variable["whirling.klaasje_ruby_leader"] 19->20 21 !(Variable["whirling.klaasje_ruby_leader"]) 19->21 39 You: Ruby's missing, obviously. 20->39 118 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["XP.figured_out_the_odd_sole"] == true  and  Variable["TASK.confront_hardie_about_drug_trade"] == false 21->118 22 Visual Calculus: Yes. Ruby the *lady driver drug runner*. There's no denying it now. Time to ask the boys some questions... 135 Jump to: [Hardiehub1] 22->135 23 Theo: Sitting on his right: standard working boots, size 45 or 46. Eldest in the room, probably mid-fifties. Smoker, quiet. 61 Endurance: Coughs a lot. 23->61 24 Suggestion: ... use it to take a dig at his friend. Flood gates open. 46 Glen: "Yeah, Dennis, calm down," a blond man in his thirties agrees. "No one's fucking you, you stupid fuck." 24->46 26 Variable["whirling.hardies_suggestion_now_watch_others_fuck_it_up"] 25->26 27 !(Variable["whirling.hardies_suggestion_now_watch_others_fuck_it_up"]) 25->27 31 Suggestion: Too late -- you already got a pretty good picture of these guys. You can use this. 26->31 80 Perception (Sight): Too late, you already scanned the room. You got a pretty good picture. 27->80 28 Fat Angus: "Yeah." The fat guy in the middle lets out a little chuckle. "You're not even being fucked, Dennis." 28->2 29 Eugene: "Relax, Dennis, no one is fucking you yet," says the forty-something man from the corner, with a plectrum hanging from his neck. 114 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["whirling.hardies_suggestion_now_watch_others_fuck_it_up"] 29->114 30->9 91 You: Got it. 31->91 132 You: What can I use it for? 31->132 32 You: A picture of what? 99 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["yard.footprints_seen"] 32->99 33 Jump to: [Titus Hardie: ""What are you talkin' about, madman..."] 33->5 34 Logic: It has to be good if he won't let you pursue it. Looks like the lieutenant thinks so too... 37 Kim Kitsuragi: "So let me get this straight... there *is* an eighth Hardie boy, it's a *she* and you don't like us talking about her?" 34->37 35 Alain: Across, at the other table: hobnailed working boots, size 43. Gang tattoos. Mesque or Saramirizian. In his late thirties/early forties. 81 Encyclopedia: He spent his youth in Villalobos, a housing project in the Jamrock Quarter. There were incarcerations. Hard to say what else -- the ink is fading. 35->81 36 Titus Hardie: "No-no-no," Titus points at himself, "Eyes here! You got business with my boys, you got business with me." 74 Logic: He understood what you were trying to do. Taking inventory of them. 36->74 110 Titus Hardie: "That's right, we're not talking about this. This is a private Hardie boys matter, nothing to do with your shit. *And*..." He points at the lieutenant. 37->110 38 Jump to: [Hardiehub1] 38->6400161 50 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["XP.figured_out_the_odd_sole"] == true  and  Variable["TASK.confront_hardie_about_drug_trade"] == false 39->50 40 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["whirling.hardies_logic_understandig_taking_inventory"] 41 Variable["whirling.hardies_logic_understandig_taking_inventory"] 40->41 42 !(Variable["whirling.hardies_logic_understandig_taking_inventory"]) 40->42 55 Suggestion: Now watch the other guys fuck it up by falling out of line. 41->55 63 Shanky: "Yeah, you fuck with the Hardie boys, you fuck with Titus Hardie!" shouts the scrawny rat-faced man, two teeth missing in the front. 42->63 44 Variable["yard.footprints_seen"] 43->44 45 !(Variable["yard.footprints_seen"]) 43->45 137 Visual Calculus: That's enough to take another look at those tracks in the yard. See if they fit this band of miscreants. 44->137 45->83 122 Alain: "Let Dennis enjoy his fucking, man. We don't mind." You notice gang tattoos; the man must be either Mesque or Saramirizian. 46->122 54 Titus Hardie: "The fuck is with you, fella?" Titus is staring at you with his head tilted. 47->54 48 Jump to: [Hardiehub1] 48->6400161 49 You: Got it. 102 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["yard.footprints_seen"] 49->102 51 Variable["XP.figured_out_the_odd_sole"] == true  and  Variable["TASK.confront_hardie_about_drug_trade"] == false 50->51 52 !(Variable["XP.figured_out_the_odd_sole"] == true  and  Variable["TASK.confront_hardie_about_drug_trade"] == false) 50->52 51->22 88 Visual Calculus: Exactly. But none of this is news to you. You've stood there for about four seconds, not saying anything -- time to move on... 52->88 53 Fat Angus: In the middle, heaving and wheezing: big guy, boot size 46, deep marks. Probably carried the victim over. He alone is 130 kilos; add the man in armour and you could easily exceed 220. In the middle, heaving and wheezing: The fabled giant of Koko Nur, boot size 46, deep marks. Probably carried the victim over. He alone is 130 kilos; add the man in armour and you could easily exceed 220. 93 Perception (Smell): Awful smell. His feet stink from all the way over there, despite having boots on. 53->93 138 Jump to: [Hardiehub1] 54->138 55->63 56->48 57 Suggestion: You could take another look at the tracks in the yard, see if they fit with the characters here -- it could be incriminating. 76 Jump to: [Hardiehub1] 57->76 58 You: Not necessarily. The lady driver could have kept the drug trade secret. 58->86 123 Glen: "Actually, boss, we've been talking and we think she could maybe..." 59->123 60 Glen: Starting from the right: Boot size 44. Blond man in his thirties. Overbearingly masculine. 128 Composure: Wants the world to know he's a macho-macho man: tobacco-chewing and knuckle cracking. Who else do we have here? 60->128 61->35 62 You: And the little guy? 127 Shanky: Size 41, with the light step. Not a child after all -- an older man with a rat-face; mean watery eyes and two front teeth missing. 62->127 111 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["whirling.hardies_suggestion_now_watch_others_fuck_it_up"] 63->111 64->3 65 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["whirling.hardies_suggestion_now_watch_others_fuck_it_up"] 66 Variable["whirling.hardies_suggestion_now_watch_others_fuck_it_up"] 65->66 67 !(Variable["whirling.hardies_suggestion_now_watch_others_fuck_it_up"]) 65->67 68 Suggestion: This one knows how to keep things going. He's a hothead, but not one to be taken lightly. The last one is a bit of a black sheep... 66->68 67->28 68->28 69 Glen: "Sorry, boss..." you hear the blond man almost whimper. 69->7 70 Pain Threshold: A symmetric burn on his neck, resembling the letters *Los Los*. Has he tried to burn it off, leave that life behind? 126 Titus Hardie: And then -- standard working boot, steel reinforced toes, size 46. The big dick. Wide at the shoulders and lean at the hips. Rugby cap, fingerless gloves, and numerous scars, a little under forty. 70->126 71 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["whirling.hardie_perception_fired_in_scanroom"] 72 Variable["whirling.hardie_perception_fired_in_scanroom"] 71->72 73 !(Variable["whirling.hardie_perception_fired_in_scanroom"]) 71->73 72->32 72->49 145 Jump to: [Hardiehub1] 73->145 74->40 75->12 76->6400161 77 You: Where? 136 Eugene: On his neck. Forget it. It's not important. 77->136 78->6400161 79 Kim Kitsuragi: "Good -- we're all watching each other." The lieutenant adjusts his spectacles. "Officer, your question?" 125 Esprit de Corps: There's no point in pushing it further, he thinks. This is already a victory. We'll learn more about this eighth Hardie sooner or later. 79->125 80->71 129 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["whirling.hardeie_scan_the_room_encyclo_fired"] 81->129 82 Drama: Let's call this one The Musician. 82->62 83->48 84 Perception (Sight): Good. You could take another look at the tracks in the yard -- on the crime scene. See if they fit this bunch. 84->145 85 You: This would fit what Joyce told us, but I don't want to make any assumptions. 85->86 86->54 87 Titus Hardie: "You're not cops here. Don't go digging around, if you don't want a bullet in the back of your head. I'm watching you." 87->79 88->135 89 Visual Calculus: In conclusion: these seven are the actors on the crime scene. The footprints were theirs, but there's a *discrepancy*. 89->19 90 Suggestion: Yes, falling out of line to *please* him! This is the best kind. And now this guy is going to... 90->29 149 Shanky: "Fuckin' say something already!" The rat-faced man doesn't let you think. 91->149 92 Suggestion: This person Glen wants to hire -- he really respects her. 140 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["XP.gardner_confirmed_shes_not_eight_hardie"] 92->140 93->89 94 Perception (Sight): The emblem on his vest says 'Rowing club'. A little patch below it reads: 'T. Hardie, Captain'. 144 Eugene: In the far corner: standard working boot, steel reinforced toes, size 44. Forty-something, non-alcoholic beverage in hand. (You squint.) Is that a *plectrum*? 94->144 95 Shanky: "Fuckin' say something already!" The rat-faced man doesn't let you think. 95->78 96 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["yard.sense_viscal_greeting_done"] 97 Variable["yard.sense_viscal_greeting_done"] 96->97 98 !(Variable["yard.sense_viscal_greeting_done"]) 96->98 97->60 98->36 100 Variable["yard.footprints_seen"] 99->100 101 !(Variable["yard.footprints_seen"]) 99->101 100->15 101->95 103 Variable["yard.footprints_seen"] 102->103 104 !(Variable["yard.footprints_seen"]) 102->104 103->84 117 Shanky: "Fuckin' say something already!" The rat-faced man doesn't let you finish the thought. 104->117 105 You: "I found eight sets of footprints, but there's only seven of you... Where is the eighth Hardie boy?" 105->5 106 Reaction Speed: Hmmm... *She*? So there is an eighth Hardie and it's a Hardie girl? 106->6 108 IsKimHere() 107->108 109 !(IsKimHere()) 107->109 108->34 134 Logic: It has to be good if he won't let you pursue it. 109->134 110->87 112 Variable["whirling.hardies_suggestion_now_watch_others_fuck_it_up"] 111->112 113 !(Variable["whirling.hardies_suggestion_now_watch_others_fuck_it_up"]) 111->113 112->90 113->29 115 Variable["whirling.hardies_suggestion_now_watch_others_fuck_it_up"] 114->115 116 !(Variable["whirling.hardies_suggestion_now_watch_others_fuck_it_up"]) 114->116 115->24 116->46 117->145 119 Variable["XP.figured_out_the_odd_sole"] == true  and  Variable["TASK.confront_hardie_about_drug_trade"] == false 118->119 120 !(Variable["XP.figured_out_the_odd_sole"] == true  and  Variable["TASK.confront_hardie_about_drug_trade"] == false) 118->120 139 You: One of them is absent. The Odd Sole? 119->139 120->8 121 You: The entire Union might be involved. Maybe even all of Martinaise... (Look around suspiciously.) 121->86 122->65 123->92 124 Reaction Speed: *She*? So there is an eighth Hardie and it's a Hardie girl? Who might it be, Elizabeth the gardener? 124->6 125->38 126->94 127->53 128->23 130 Variable["whirling.hardeie_scan_the_room_encyclo_fired"] 129->130 131 !(Variable["whirling.hardeie_scan_the_room_encyclo_fired"]) 129->131 130->126 131->70 146 Kim Kitsuragi: Variable["yard.footprints_seen"] 132->146 133 Visual Calculus: Exactly, the missing lady driver who was running the drug trade. Does it mean that the Hardie boys are involved in the drug trade as well? 133->4 133->58 133->85 133->121 134->69 135->6400161 136->82 137->48 138->6400161 139->133 141 Variable["XP.gardner_confirmed_shes_not_eight_hardie"] 140->141 142 !(Variable["XP.gardner_confirmed_shes_not_eight_hardie"]) 140->142 141->106 142->124 144->62 144->77 145->6400161 147 Variable["yard.footprints_seen"] 146->147 148 !(Variable["yard.footprints_seen"]) 146->148 147->57 148->149 149->76
