That look wasn't for nothing. Something happened over there.

The outcome: Citizens are still paying for guns they no longer own.

You know where this is going, right? You're not going to just walk into it?

Progress! Suspense! Quick, ask more!

PSEUDOPOD didn't seem like a suicide, but he was listening to the UV disc when he died.

Ultra Violeta doesn't sell anything but her music -- and herself.

Killing off the majority of your target audience isn't a great business strategy.

Auditory hallucinations? Teenage hysteria?

What you love is what you are. You love Ultra Violeta. You are Ultra Violeta. Ultra Violeta is the voice of Luz... oh, okay, that's the trajectory.

Solid reasoning, regrettably.

Extremely rare.

A still adolescent face. Small glittering lips move as if summoning a spectre from the distant future. This must be early Ultra Violeta.

Hardly anything he said makes medical sense. It barely makes linguistic sense.

Pain is a nociceptive signal -- a response triggered by actual or perceived tissue damage.

That's how he makes sense of the world, there's no need to fall for it.

It's evident that this is not a consumer product. It is commissioned by a select few and spurred by a grim agenda.

Remember that Ignatz's assignment is pending. Best leave that camera alone -- for now.

In the Developed World, advertisements no longer feature products, only vague promises of a 'life-style'.

Before you blame others for not showing you what you want, make sure you are looking in the right place.

An impression of her to fill the absence.

Bet the tech hangover is making them vivid.

A hallucination.

Chronic sleep deprivation. She's half mad.

It does not. She's explaining her own brilliance away with magic.

She's using the sigil to convince herself that she can do this without splitting her mind into pieces. She can't.

The missing figurine from her room.

Has she blocked the rest out? Not good enough.

Probably easier to play into the delusion and find the figurine than try to change her mind.

A psychological barrier. You will only be able to slip past it by lowering the mind's defenses as in hypnosis or sleep.

A reality-check.

Far more likely she was involved in somebody else's plot.

C4 strapped to a remote detonation device.

This must be the source of the song the squatters were talking about.

Your task etches itself in the folds of your subconscious.

The Opera's psychomancers must've known you'd be keen to play this particular song on repeat -- Hoping this time the tune would come out different somehow.

Opera-speak for 'your problem'.

Best to sound it out, just to be clear.

Something flashy to distract from something ugly.

A shame that the damage to your skin may already be locked in.

Most wars are just as futile.

That price may explain why they're practically giving them away here.

This man matches the description of 'Frederik' given by Oskar Metamoto, the EMTERR negotiator.

There. The little mental tickle -- that's your brain telling you you're close to something important.

At last, now you can use the phone.

Now's your chance to see what this 'Miracle Line' is all about.

Make an assessment of the phoneline hog.

His own febrile logic has turned in on itself. He'll believe anything you tell him now.

A name, the last thing to be traded away.

You've wrung what you need from this limp rag. Time to move on.
