It should be said that you've never seen this man before in your life.

Easy

The cost of a new set of tyres.

Trivial

The techno-fascist secret police of La Luz -- dark subconscious of the state, specialising in old school, ugly methods.

Easy

The Guardia Municipal. Street cops.

Trivial

La Luz. Once a powerful empire, now reconstituted as a modern techno-fascist state, the rising military and cultural power of the day.

Easy

Could be the work of the Militia Ruban Rouge, an extreme communist fringe group. They've ransomed public figures before.

Easy

You did a little of that too, but no need to mention.

Medium

Of those three descriptors, only one has ever been applied to you, and it's not 'lucid' or 'composed'.

Medium

Only a moment's hesitation. This man may detest the majority of music, but his internal discography is formidable.

Challenging

Highly obscure, collector's stuff. The kind of information that your brain auto-deletes upon learning.

Challenging

Einzeltone... No entries found. And no point trying to pretend.

Trivial

No entries found under 'Replayer'. Filing under 'Insults - incomprehensible'.

Easy

She's thinking of the order of silent monks in FIST PUNCH III and their mastery of killing words. Wicked deadly.

Medium

Blood all over the sofa cushions.

Medium

90, Portofiro. Spring dawn filtered through the windows, promising the year's first clear day. You drew the curtains, turned on the TV. Your task: educate your young asset in the history of martial arts movies.

Medium

Reno's hands tremble as he shakes kibble into a flowerpot. Tempo doesn't look up.

Legendary

Physarum polycephalum, to be specific.

Medium

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

Medium

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

Easy

Better known as 'playing dead' -- widely observed in the animal kingdom, unheard of in humans.

Medium

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

Easy

Ramses told you he'll need 'around half a day' to capture anything significant.

Easy

A relic from the military coup in Mircea.

Trivial

You have stumbled upon a relic of Project AUTONOMÍA, Portofiro's defunct space program.

Medium

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

Trivial

The sole members of the 'Post-Orbital Club'. High-status, high-funds.

Easy

After the rocket exploded live on the world's television screens, Sweet Nestor made bold televised speeches blaming 'foreign hands'. By the time he boarded the helicopter that would ferry him to exile, he'd accused at least half the Developed World of engineering the disaster.

Trivial

'Nestorismo' -- Nestor's personal brand of politics. Its meaning was whatever was most beneficial at any given moment.

Trivial

Sweet Nestor, Portofiro's supreme leader from the years 28 to 80.

Medium

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

Easy

Same age as you were when you were shot in the chest.

Challenging

Prison, torture, madness, a bullet to the temple. A variety of fates, and history repeating itself.

Formidable

An echo from your first meeting with the prisoner.

Easy

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

Easy

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

Legendary

Say the line again. It will hit harder this time, for sure.

Legendary

Maybe you can redeem your line from earlier. Maybe this will tie it all together.

Easy

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

Trivial

Eszti Newitz. Competent. Unlikeable. Ultimately invaluable.

Medium

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

Medium

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.

Trivial

Awful waste management. The ex-pilots did know what they were talking about.

Trivial

Looking out over the canal, a thought surfaces: that of PSEUDOPOD's soiled, wet trousers.

Medium

The remains of a community that was traded for a single shot at the sky.

Trivial

The vestiges of Portofiro's disastrous 77 space program. This is the place you saw on television, back then.

Easy

These must be the vestiges of Portofiro's disastrous 77 space program. The city-state tried to launch a rocket into orbit -- only for it to disintegrate.

Trivial
