They're even more expensive than the vending machines in the airport at Treffe, on your way here.

If you overdo this you're going to break the economy.

The man you shot lives on. Not just in this advert, but in the minds of those who watch it.

Or they could use his death as proof that he was onto something.

A mish-mash of conspiratorial nonsense commonly found in most of the Developed World. One exception: the boars, which may just be a local oddity.

A brown paper bag. That can only be...

It's Ignatz. The Weeping Eye would not let him live.

Why are you doing this to yourself? You know who's in there.

A crumb of truth, which gathers mass as it rolls downhill, until it becomes a teeming ball of confusion and paranoia.

'A Canny Method'? An Advanced Cognitive Manoeuvre?!

Sounds like how her sister in the magazine offices dredged out your cryptonym.

Can you be sure this is really your mind and not some psychic fabrication of hers?

It went so well with HOLOCENE.

Sounds like how the EMTERR interrogator in the magazine offices dredged out your cryptonym.

A strange, terrible clarity blooms:

The Azzurris smelled something was off about it, then.

Both fake and shit.

You don't have to use it to sell it.

You agreed to the amount. You paid upfront. It's on him to take the loss.

This path can only end badly, for the both of you.

Ghost bullets don't hurt. Good to know.

Made by a bullet, undoubtedly. Things were getting heated in this Portofiran People's Assembly.

There's nothing to contemplate here, just the ramblings of a madwoman.

Her faith is impenetrable. Anything you disprove will have an answer that wraps itself around it and subsumes it.

It's time to re-evaluate the decisions that have led you to this point.

There is nothing false about that money.

This is more money than you've seen since you arrived in Portofiro.

The smudge is not what it appears to be. Not the most obvious suspect, at least.

He seems slightly offended that you're not already familiar with the reputation of Tsunese men.

There's no logical connection between any of these things.

Maybe that's why you were taken out of action for five years. The non-Hershel highlights the need for the real-Hershel.

Hopefully the Editor-in-Chief will have made a dent in HOLOCENE's work soon.

The Editor-in-Chief said she's responsible for this page. Perhaps she could help you decode HOLOCENE's work.

Whoever made the magazine's cryptograms page could help you decode HOLOCENE's work.

The person in charge of the magazine should know -- the Editor-in-Chief.

Whoever the Editor-in-Chief of the magazine is should know.

Must be the acknowledgement that the Civilisation Trust demands from the cultural products it funds.

Thanking someone or something that helps to make the magazine possible.

Beasts rendered ridiculous. Grotesque trophies.

These are knock offs. Fakes.

These are... not that. They're knock offs. Fakes.

And then they'll probably turn around and add even more wolves.

Sixty-six... like the wolves?

It's suddenly clear why, of all their programming, the Luzians seem so eager to push the cartoon through the Culture Blockade.

This is the Luzian version -- sanitised and brimming with valour.

They are all complicit -- from the most insignificant enlisted sailor to the top admirals.

Kitchen knife, the closest potential weapon to hand. This doesn't happen often, but it's not the first time, either.

The vibrations might actually promote healing. Or it might be weird sexual-violence crossed wiring...
