Odds of him being asset SCARF: 95%. Confirmation encouraged.

Moonlight shimmers across a holographic patch on his sleeve. The patch reads: 'MARCO'.

On his sleeve, a holographic foil patch reads 'MARCO'.

She isn't remotely surprised or on edge -- if there's such a thing as 'off-duty' in this business then you're looking at it.

Your mother's standard load out was also a callomanic.

Wrong type of glass for a callomanic, should be in a tulip.

Her eyes sparkle, delighted. She's inviting you to participate in the ritual humiliation of a third party.

... Except for a lingering aftertaste of fucked-ness. You can't quite place it, but this callomanic is definitely FKD.

His Brave Face mask slips from the sweat underneath.

As he removes his hand, a single sliver of sweat runs down the outside of the glass.

She's doing this to put you at ease -- but an unopened bottle can still be poisoned. Don't drink it.

She's drinking from the same bottle, you're fine. Get her drunk, make conversation, see what guts she'll spill.

Hers is crumpled on the floor beside her, discarded like a tight bra after a mid-week work day.

She is into this. Use it. Flirt, get her drunk.

Hold the line gäng! We're within striking distance!

YES, DIEGO. LIKE LIONS.

Relaxed, casual. She assumes you're like her, that you feel the same way.

Like PSEUDOPOD, who seems to have entirely become his.

This woman's reading a solid ZERO on the empath-o-meter.

A perfect operant.

Solar Point: a small coastal area of Lágundi, a Luzian colony famous for luxury tourist resorts.

All the useful things together.

You could attempt this with precisely none of your assets. They're all too big.

Be good to give Eszti a hard spin. Shut her up for a while.

Her hand is cold, but the movement feels tender.

WITHIN EVERYONE IS MOP AND MOPPER -- A TRUE REVOLUTIONARY KEEPS BOTH HANDS FIRMLY ON THEIR OWN SHAFT.

Flirtatious but firm, she won't talk unless you play along.

A slight flush to her cheeks -- she really did like that you offered.

Get us the fuck away from this mäd bitch! But also! Höt! The gäng is divided!

A touch of regret in her voice.

The colour melting, pouring into you, looking for evidence of a lie.

Her posture straightens, as if she's ready to fight you -- but she's afraid.

She doesn't care at all.

Visibly relieved.

No change in expression or posture. She seems genuinely unperturbed.

Hackles up. Eyes colder.

She takes a drink -- a longer one than usual.

Ten inches and your lips will meet hers.

She desperately wants this.

According to her, the bartender's basically an un-programmed augmentoid. Get in there and pilot him.

Melita's voice in your ear: 'The Bank will always deal'.

OF COURSE THIS IS HOW THE BANKERS OPERATE. NO CONVICTION, RIDDLED WITH CONTRADICTIONS. IDEOLOGICAL DRESS-UP DOLLS.

Her face adjusts, then sets. She believes this.

FUN IS BOURGEOIS.

The buttons go down with a satisfying thunk thunk thunk.

Execution site. Marked. Cordoned off with banishment seals.

FASCISM WILL BLEED UPON A MONUMENT TO ITSELF.

This is information that you already had... but now you know you're not a step behind.

The information. Not the kiss.
