Riled, not yet convinced. Keep pushing, make her believe you're capable of this.

The Weeping Eye have defeated her without even laying a finger on her.

Again. Harder. She needs to believe you've got it in you.

She pats her left hand dry on the tea towel hanging from the cupboard. There are tiny little daisies on it.

The moment crystallises. The world is empty save for you and your enemy.

A stoic drunk. Tourniquetting the slur with sheer concentration.

Your would-be asset Ignatz wasn't far off. All's not right in the enemy camp.

Imprint-on-imprint violence. You're in the middle of an old mind attacking itself.

What was that about a 'body double'?

In the background you can hear the sound of machinery and men hurling masculine insults at each other as cargo is hauled from ship to shore.

A cargo boat brushes gently against the canal. The smell of fuel oil hangs heavy in the air.

Raindrops gather on the wreckage overhead.

You see a haze of coloured light, dark figures moving within.

You hear laughter and music ahead.

Certain deaths can't help but take on a metaphorical quality.

It's like a brushfire. You can almost smell the animal panic as the jungle goes up in flames.

Dust and carbon paper flakes dance in the circle of light.

The galleries in Satellite Facility B were similar. Vast swaths of human knowledge, packed and ordered by esoteric means.

Call her a 'frigid bitch' also, if we find an öpening!

Eszti keeps a special mental calendar marked 'Critical Phone Call from Hershel?'. The calendar has been counting for five years.

Not perceptibly. But there was something at a base pheromonal level that pitted you against each other from day one.

She is a cold moon in your eternal orbit. Trust the invisible geometry. It will hold.

A vast improvement on your current odour.

Repulsive. But still relaxed.

The smell of you, for her.

Maybe you didn't want to see it.

If he did, he moved fast.

Throttling it. As though it had betrayed him.

The horror of bodily disobedience. The self turned other.

The Party lives on.

THE PARTY LIVES ON.

She's made the exchange with your opposite number on your behalf.

You'd be trapped here.

The kind of gäng pile-on you don't come back from.

The dark ones are galvanized steel. Threaded joints, auxiliary lines for overflow -- a major upgrade.

A forking road, then. Above, you'd have to blend in. Below, you bask in the shadows, and hope trouble doesn't await beyond the door.

You still don't know what the building above contains. Maybe there's an easier way in.

You have so far gone unnoticed. You may spoil that by exploring other routes.

Knows you're probably lying. Lets it slide, like always.

A lurch in your stomach at the sight of the drop.

Wet cloth and iron dust. Foul. Chemical.

It's not about the canal. It's what's built around it.

There's a small room to the east. Might be worth a look.

In all likelihood, that's the door the GM is guarding.

Minor additions won't compromise the bag's usability. You may proceed.

The sweet smell of ripening waste drifts up from dozens of household bins.

Don't forget the lunar cadmium mines!

Nerves, stretched taut to breaking point.

It's not a relaxed pause. He scans the Bazaar as though waiting for a sign.

The gaze of a hunter -- or of someone expecting to be hunted. On guard for a sudden eruption of violence.
