You've seen that name before, browsing at the newsstand while Tempo badgered and bartered over cigarettes.

The heartless man wanted a poetry magazine from this place, didn't he?

The old spy's poetry magazine should be somewhere in that mess.

You've seen yourself like this before.

EMTERR, a.k.a. L'Empire sans Territoire, a.k.a. 'The Bank'. Equal parts global development fund and spy service. Linchpin of the Developed World.

Oskar Metamoto... the Party Alley casualty.

May be time to make a visit to the Party Alley tailor.

EMTERR's personnel department. Infamous for their hands-on approach to quarterly check-ins.

He just permanently forgot his first handjob from a boy. They were fourteen, watching foreign movies in the dark. They never looked each other in the eye again.

Her sponsor... the Civilisation Trust. The blank space there gnaws away at you.

You recognise him.

The Dream of Rustam. For eighty years, there were no kings or bosses -- only open councils, grain cooperatives, and radio poets. As the Developed World spread, the Dream cracked.

Carabineros: Portofiro's sanctioned police investigators. They report directly to the Prefectura and deal in actual crime -- murder, grand larceny, rape.

You recall Vespar speaking of his time in the Guardia Municipal. A decade of low-stake days.

Tritos 91. A highly-inebriated Operant CASCADE (schnapps count: ??) is pulled over for 'reckless tuk-tuk driving'.

Asset VIRTUE: confirmed ZEROED OUT.

A high ranking member of the military, sworn to protect the Rustamian head of state -- back when the Dream of Rustam still was a state.

At the Novessa Greenhouse, you and the other would-be operants were trained on steel. There's something comforting in the familiarity.

Professionally? Low-triple digits, by the time they put you in the Freezer.

'Nestorismo' -- Nestor's personal brand of politics. It meant whatever he meant at that moment.

Even in this spectral form you recognise him -- Sweet Nestor, Portofiro's supreme leader.

Even in this spectral form you recognise him -- Sweet Nestor, Portofiro's supreme leader from the years 28 to 80.

She laps from the same pool as Malen's father, who got himself kidnapped after hearing about the Phone that Makes People Disappear on this same show.

You remember a similar dark smear above the left eyehole of Recreación's mascot head -- the thing on your head right now.

Countless injuries were reported in the aftermath of the incident, and two fatalities confirmed.

You remember a similar dark smear above the left eyehole of Recreación's mascot head.

Part of the global Periphery, and not aligned with any of the major power blocs. It's estimated that about 20% of the world's telephone scams come from a single unmarked building on the edge of Tsun's Arc capital city.

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

Being sent to organise among the lunar cadmium miners is a common punishment for political offenses in the People's Republics.

In the Portofiran plushie scene, some of the knock off labels have become their own commodity, almost as sought after as the real deal.

La Luz: Expansive techno-fascist state known for high quality electronics, pogroms, and pop music.

The Raposeira -- Iron War Queen of the Luzian naval fleet.

Sacrophobe coat -- the out of towner Kurt told you about.

Psych. Evaluation #11 ('Emotional Response to Targeted Stimuli') -- Subject CASCADE responds poorly when faced with critique from a simulated maternal figure. Session devolves into name-calling and personal insults.

The Treffe School of psychoanalysis is known to be the most 'experimental' in the so-called Developed World.

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

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

No she did not.

She said hussy.

Her face has lined and her body folded with age, but this is unmistakably the same woman you saw in the Palace of Culture.
