G 0 START 1 input 0->1 75 Visual Calculus: Wait, stop -- that man, bloated beyond all recognition, was 42? 1->75 2 Kim Kitsuragi: "Yes miss, but..." The lieutenant disagrees. "For him that number is *56*." 67 Visual Calculus: Wait! This requires *scientific* measurements. 2->67 3 Kim Kitsuragi: "Huh?" The lieutenant isn't quite sure he heard you. 120 You: "Nothing." [Finish thought.] 3->120 130 You: "How old do I look?" 3->130 4 Volition: Look who's finally awake! 20 cleaner_hub 4->20 5 You: I don't want to think about this anymore. 46 Visual Calculus: Okay. Seek not the truth. Cower in barbarism, you 58-year-old man-child. 5->46 6 Kim Kitsuragi: "You're not." He's squinting at you. 118 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Sure he is. You know, age is just a number." 6->118 7 Variable["whirling.klaasjenick_wordsmith"] 8 Variable["whirling.klaasjenick_wordsmith"] 7->8 9 !(Variable["whirling.klaasjenick_wordsmith"]) 7->9 14 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "I don't know... Twenty-one? Seventeen? Sixteen? When does the male libido peak?" 8->14 63 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "I don't know... Forty-one? Forty-five? What am I supposed to say? What's the most *boring* age a human being can be?" 9->63 10 how_old_is_the_question 39 You: "Kim, how old do you think I am?" 10->39 96 You: (Turn around.) "Miss, how old do you think I am?" 10->96 119 You: I got this, I got this... My age -- I think I'm... 10->119 11 Kim Kitsuragi: "Forty-two. And he was *deceased*. He had been decomposing for a week." 41 deceased_age 11->41 12 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Let's say you were twenty-something. Twenty five. A good disco age. Twenty five plus nineteen is forty four. I'm gonna say you're 44." 97 Logic: Wow! 12->97 13 Empathy: Here it comes -- mercy. 25 Kim Kitsuragi: "Sure -- you're 42." He squints. "Let's go?" 13->25 15 not_superstar 14->15 98 You: "I think I'm circa 55." 15->98 99 You: "I think I'm circa 35." 15->99 121 You: "I think I'm circa 45." 15->121 16 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Sure. Age is just a number, you know." She extinguishes her cigarette. "It's all in your *head*." 16->67 17 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Sure, yeah. And if you're not -- age is just a number anyway." 17->67 18 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "That's pretty much it, but... Age is just a number anyway, you know." She extinguishes her cigarette. 18->67 19 You: "You're right. I'm probably 62. Let's leave it at that." 124 Kim Kitsuragi: "I didn't say 62, I said 58." He squints, looking at you for a second. 19->124 28 Variable["whirling.klaasjenick_discofan"] 20->28 21 Kim Kitsuragi: "You're not." He's squinting at you. 27 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Sure he is.

She leans in closer. "How old do I think you are?" 80 Rhetoric: She's buying time to formulate the best answer. 26->80 87 Kim Kitsuragi: "Yes. But for him that number is higher than 45." 27->87 29 Variable["whirling.klaasjenick_discofan"] 28->29 30 !(Variable["whirling.klaasjenick_discofan"]) 28->30 110 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "I don't know... 40? I was like 9 when OO peaked. That was, what? Nineteen years ago? I liked them when I was 9. You couldn't have liked it when you were 40..." 29->110 53 Variable["whirling.klaasjenick_apocalypse"] 30->53 31 You: I'm old. A wizened sage who has seen it all across *three hundred years*. 107 Visual Calculus: Yeah, but probably not though. Do you want to know *the truth*? 31->107 32 You: I'm in my early thirties. A rough thirty. I *lived it up*. 122 Visual Calculus: You're a rough rider, but not in your early thirties. Do you want to know *the truth*? 32->122 33 Kim Kitsuragi: There's silence. 125 Kim Kitsuragi: Then a little more. 33->125 34 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "I don't know... one? Two? I don't know what I'm supposed to say? How old is a newborn cop who doesn't remember he's a cop?" 34->15 35 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Yeah. I have a university degree, you know." She flicks ash from her cigarette. 66 You: "Forty four? I'm young!" 35->66 36 You: I don't want to think about this anymore. 88 Visual Calculus: Okay. Seek not the truth. Cower in barbarism, you 58-year-old man-child. 36->88 37 Untitled hub 37->36 82 You: Bring it on. I am not afraid of the truth. 37->82 38 You: It's what she said, yes. 128 Visual Calculus: Below the damage, the weeks of decomposition, all the swollen indignity of mortality -- he was 42 years old? 38->128 39->3 40 You: "I feel like I've been decomposing for longer than that." 43 Kim Kitsuragi: "On the bright side, you've been getting *a lot* of exercise lately." 40->43 41->19 41->40 42 You: "Alcoholism has a similar effect on living tissue, I hear." "The ravages of Al Gul are nearly as extreme as that of death itself, Lieutenant Kitsuragi." 41->42 42->33 43->19 43->42 44 You: "Forty four? You think so?" 115 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Look -- at the end of the day, age is just a number, you know." 44->115 45 You: Bring it on. I am not afraid of the truth. 116 Visual Calculus: To the Laboratorium! 45->116 47 Variable["whirling.klaasjenick_superstar"] 48 Variable["whirling.klaasjenick_superstar"] 47->48 49 !(Variable["whirling.klaasjenick_superstar"]) 47->49 109 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "I don't know... one million years old? Twenty-one? Seventeen? How old are superstar police officers usually?" 48->109 49->7 50 You: Oh my god. I have no idea. Probably middle aged, but... but... 127 Visual Calculus: Do you want to know the truth? 50->127 51 You: "Maybe you're wrong. You were wrong about the deceased too, he was *way* younger." 79 Kim Kitsuragi: "He was *deceased*. He had been decomposing for a week." 51->79 52 You: "What if you're wrong? We were both wrong about the deceased -- he turned out to be 40!" 52->11 54 Variable["whirling.klaasjenick_apocalypse"] 53->54 55 !(Variable["whirling.klaasjenick_apocalypse"]) 53->55 126 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "I don't know...

He shrugs. 62->51 62->52 77 You: "You're probably right. That's about what I look." 62->77 63->15 64 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Sure he is. You know. Age is just a number." 117 Kim Kitsuragi: "Yes. But for him that number is *much* larger than 35." 64->117 65 You: "Wow." 65->35 114 Klaasje (Miss Oranje Disco Dancer): "Absolutely. Age is just a number, man." 66->114 67->5 67->45 68 Kim Kitsuragi: "You're not."

That's where this is going. Forty-five thousand litres of raw alcohol has left its disfigurements. What lies beneath, you wonder. 76->129 108 Kim Kitsuragi: "Actually, make that 54." He squints. "Alcoholism has severely impacted your appearance." 77->108 78 You: "Oh my god, that's really old -- really?" 78->62 79->41 80->72 81 Visual Calculus: Yes? 81->31 81->32 81->50 112 Visual Calculus: To the Laboratorium! 82->112 83->15 84 IsKimHere() 85 IsKimHere() 84->85 86 !(IsKimHere()) 84->86 85->68 86->16 87->67 91 Variable["XP.detect_compromized_skillset"] 90->91 92 !(Variable["XP.detect_compromized_skillset"]) 90->92 91->4 92->20 94 Variable["TASK.arrest_klaasje_done"] == true  or  Variable["TASK.report_to_the_tribunal_done"] == true  or  IsHourBetween(7, 22) == false 93->94 95 !(Variable["TASK.arrest_klaasje_done"] == true  or  Variable["TASK.report_to_the_tribunal_done"] == true  or  IsHourBetween(7, 22) == false) 93->95 94->10 106 Reaction Speed: You could ask either one of them. 95->106 96->26 97->44 97->65 97->66 103 IsKimHere() 98->103 99->84 100 IsKimHere() 101 IsKimHere() 100->101 102 !(IsKimHere()) 100->102 101->21 102->17 104 IsKimHere() 103->104 105 !(IsKimHere()) 103->105 104->6 105->18 106->10 107->37 131 Kim Kitsuragi: "And I *was* wrong about the age of the deceased.
