Trivial

Trivial

Spilling the People's secrets to the first drunkards you meet. This is why your internal clearance level is currently 'DO NOT INFORM'.

Trivial

Stop this at once, Operant, before it is too late!

Trivial

And secret prisoners?

Trivial

Has the null entity lured you into an obvious trap?

Trivial

The Opera should provide a space for when you need to construct vital equipment. Perhaps Constanz knows something about that.

Trivial

Half a cipher. The language of spies. You've carried papers like this, folded up and hidden away in secret pockets and compartments.

Trivial

Sock merchant. One of the Opera's most battle-tested covers.

Trivial

Who he is doesn't matter to EMTERR. It's what he did...

Trivial

Also known to you as VIRTUE, your former asset and friend. Now confirmed dead, mostly for associating with you.

Trivial

Also known to you as VIRTUE. Your former asset. Currently out there somewhere, waiting for you to realign once more.

Trivial

'Director MALA FIDE until extraction. Beware Small Controller.'

Trivial

Bigrams, trigrams, character frequency, index of coincidence analysis. Tables, tables, and more tables.

Trivial

Ruling out a simple transposition or affine shift cipher. Probably polyalphabetic.

Trivial

The Opera have a machine dedicated to this -- if you want to capitulate, just take it to your controller and make it her problem.

Trivial

The window to your right. Did someone see you come in here?

Trivial

That is one way to get to Gonza, operant. Look at the size of the cavity -- large enough for a cricket.

Trivial

Your old asset, ESTOC. Still draped in the same cover you left her in. With one new styling...

Trivial

Don't forget the trigger. The song.

Trivial

It wouldn't take much to break into it and set your own music. At best a distraction... at worst a war cry.

Trivial

This won't be of any use to you now. Best get rid of it.

Trivial

The same location Hauzmann wants you to investigate. Odd.

Trivial

The same location the heartless guy wants you to investigate. Odd.

Trivial

A fax from HOLOCENE. Irrelevant, now that he's on board. Get rid of the evidence.

Trivial

A fax sent by HOLOCENE. Potentially compromised. Best get rid of it.

Trivial

Not that you needed his permission anyway.

Trivial

Operant, this is a once-per-aeon opportunity to get a shot at the Grand Lich. Let it slip now, who knows how far back it may set you?

Trivial

Operant, reconsider. You haven't even heard out the prisoner. You may be letting a massive opportunity slip your grasp.

Trivial

Tempo's half of the deal. This 'unusual device'. Pull back the curtain.

Trivial

You are standing close to the contaminated core of grand political conspiracy.

Trivial

KINDRED. Unreachable for the last sixteen hours.

Trivial

Read: A phone that you should know is tapped.

Trivial

The list appears haphazard and poorly maintained -- which no doubt suits ESTOC perfectly.

Trivial

That's it. You have her.

Trivial

There are many eyes behind these windows; you need a way to find ESTOC which doesn't draw them to you.

Trivial

The door cracked open -- pull a seam of worthwhile information through. Do not waste this opportunity on some personal frivolity.

Trivial

Sock merchant for the Im-Ex Bureau. One of the Operant Bureau's most battle-tested covers.

Trivial

Be thorough this time, operant. Gather all.

Trivial

Your old asset, ESTOC. Still draped in the same cover you left her in, with one new styling.

Trivial

Suddenly, you sense something between the two halves of the train -- a dark magnetic energy.

Trivial

One part acquired. Blackmail tool 50% complete.

Trivial

Or just keep it. Might come in handy as a blackmail too if you have to open up this junior negotiator.

Trivial

Or just hold on to it. That's half a blackmail tool you've just acquired. It's already humming with ill intent.

Trivial

You've got one half -- get the other and you can use it to open the junior negotiator up.

Trivial

Acquire this part, then track down the other -- you can use the train to open the junior negotiator up.

Trivial

Do not forget, this headphone man shot you.

Trivial

Do not forget, this headphone man took a shot at you.

Trivial

Face it, operant -- sincerity and authenticity are not for you. Better to apply your talents for forgery and imitation.

Trivial

You've carried papers like this, folded up and hidden away in secret pockets and compartments.
