Logic: Here you go: access to the roof, weapon, and motive. That's not too hard. And here is what you can do to make it even easier -- c'mon guys!

Kim Kitsuragi: "Okay..." The lieutenant steps in. "We've ruled out infighting. That's how this works: by exclusion. Remember, all we need to do is rule Ruby out too. That's all this is."
240
Authority: There's a bit of truth in there for Titus to react so brashly. He does not like his authority questioned.

Titus Hardie: "There's no fucking leadership challenge." A flash of rage; he calms himself. "Just when I thought you were taking this seriously, cop, you put your head in your ass."

Titus Hardie: "There's no fucking leadership challenge, here." A flash of rage; he calms himself. "Get your head out of your ass. This is serious."
10->917

Titus Hardie: "Alright -- she took a fucking leak, okay? For one moment. *Maybe* went out too -- she has an operation to run from her lorry." He points to the intersection. "We're not getting into what that *operation* is again, cop."
296
Suggestion: That's probably for the best. Don't break your stride now.
11->296

Titus Hardie: "No, you can't. I know what you did here on the weekend. People talk -- and what they say doesn't sound like a science-cop. You're a madman."

Eugene: "Those numbers were an *ass-pull*, man."

You: "There's a 72% chance that the bullet came from the roof."

13->924

Titus Hardie: "Wouldn't hurt to have one of those in Martinaise." He nods. "Still -- all the labs in the world don't put her on that roof. How did she get there? Climb?"

Titus Hardie: "All right, cop." He nods. "Keep talking. I'll tell you when I've had enough."

Glen: "T, we're not seriously considering it, are we?!" He almost gets up from his seat. "Ruby wouldn't do this. Why would she do something like this?"
17->784
18
Titus Hardie: "*Maybe* from the coast? I've been too busy with this shit to see if it's possible. So no." He shakes his head. "I don't think it was a sniper. It was close up."
"*Maybe* from the coast? But like I said, I've been too busy dealing with you idiots. So no." He shakes his head. "I don't think it was a sniper. It was close up."
"*Maybe* from the coast? But like I said, I've been too busy dealing with you, copper. So no." He shakes his head. "I don't think it was a sniper. It was close up."

"Yes, about size 43."

You: "She could have just been covering up for *herself*, Titus."

Titus Hardie: "Nah. The only way up there is through Klaasje's room."

22
Glen: "She didn't either! She would never do that." The blond man looks around. "Why aren't more of you defending her? This is fucking stupid, Titus."
1145
Titus Hardie: "Glen." Titus looks grim. "I thought the same thing when she skipped town and left us in this shit."
22->1145
23
Logic: Ooh! So he didn't rule her out completely? *And* she's skipped town. This is good.

Titus Hardie: His grip is firm and reassuring. Like holding a piece of unpolished granite.
43->736
44
Rhetoric: Right. That's the second one now who's trying to flee you.
44->41
45
Titus Hardie: "Yeah, there was something else. She wouldn't tell me though. I could see she wanted to. It was *burning* on her lips: 'This cop, Titus, this cop, he...' But she was too scared."
337
Half Light: Scared? You should be too. A strange fear creeps over you, a metallic taste in your mouth. Change the subject.

Fat Angus: "We were talkin' about radio equipment. She said she's doing Ulan frequencies and a pale-something. I don't know more."
823
Logic: This guy barely understands what he's talking about.
52->823
53
You: Give up.
226
Logic: There we go. Your mind is a relaxed muscle. It's so nice and easy to give up, isn't it? On the downside -- you have no idea what you were supposed to do now. I could have *debriefed* you.
53->226
54
Logic: Shush. I'm just more level headed than you. That's my thing. Let's look at this as a learning experience. What are the components you need to implicate Ruby?

Savoir Faire: For starters, you could find out what's behind that mystery door in the kitchen. If it's a secret route, she could have used that to get to the roof!

Glen: "Boss, but maybe..." The blond guy interjects. "A single machine like that is worth over 500 reál."

You: "Sex. She wanted sex from her."

You: "Let's not get into it, it's needless sensationalism."

You: Better not push it, back to other ideas.

Visual Calculus: Fine. Don't impress them with ballistics.

Eugene: "Yeah -- no. Ruby's got more balls than a ball pit. You'd have to be an idiot not to..." He looks around. "Guys, I'm not the only one who knew, right?"

Glen: "Knew what?" The man can't believe what he's hearing. "First he says she murdered him -- now she's a *f*g* too? It's a lie!"

Kim Kitsuragi: "Think about it -- why go through all that effort? It was her idea, wasn't it? The hanging? You went along, but she suggested it."

Shanky: "Fuck you, man, I would never fuck my guys over like that." He squeaks with indignation.
