More specifically, it's an onagadori -- an ornamental rooster bred for its long tail.

... 'constitutes the single greatest tactical catastrophe in the Operant Bureau's history'...

The Opera has unofficially been considered the last come, last served among the world three's leading intelligence agencies for at least two decades.

You could make it longer by using the Old Calendar. According to the New Calendar, you were born in 61, but by the old method it was 2632.

Something twitches inside your memory. You have heard of this, but its name slips by you.

The Weeping Eye's interrogator class.

You flash back to the memory of planting that cricket with Ramses, how it had trembled in his hand for a moment...

RADIAN: no mention of epilepsy found. Medical conditions: left blank.

A good deal of Ramses' equipment always consisted of improvised devices cobbled up from the cannibalised remains of consumer electronics.

What happened in 77?

Hazy memories flick by. Among them, you see the amalgamation of bitter flesh that birthed you, sitting like a creature in her lair.

'Eschaton': the day after the end of time -- a final turning of divine machinery.

'Eschaton': you have no idea what the word means, but it lands with a pleasant heaviness.

Coincides with the information on file: the Azzurri mob has recently become the regional power on all things illegal in Portofiro.

Six months later: The clearing of the Pitol Tract began. Over 20,000 residents were displaced, never to be relocated.

You once heard an old hand say that the tortured walk their own province.

An equal mix of 'old people' and 'immunity to fun'.

When you were quite small, there was a jasmine plant that trailed over the neighbour's fence. Knowing they could be made into tea, you took a flower and popped it in your mouth one autumn morning.
