This may, perhaps, prove to be the Superbloc's final and most dramatic own goal.

A fitting farewell drink. Just hopefully not your final farewell.

So she wasn't trying to poison you.

He won't be back.

Your double. PSEUDOPOD.

No one said anything about a 'friend'.

Would that line of work happen to be 'fake sock importer'?

Soap scum caked into the corners of the pot.

Could be a quick way to make a bit of money.

You may be in the presence of the person who zeroed out PSEUDOPOD.

He was a drunk. A cheerful one. Probably how he got himself killed.

Works for the Azzurri mob, sells drugs, and he's armed.

He has access to guns. Sells them, even.

You've heard he works for the Azzurri mob. May even sell guns.

Happy-go-lucky drug peddler. Among the first steps on the ladder of serious crimes.

Wondering how a member of the carabineros doesn't know what happened to a fallen brother.

'Sex line'? The lack of trousers grows more ominous.

That's not what the ring on his finger told you.

Most likely, this area is not permitted for fishing or shrimping. He's breaking the law.

Across the whole universe, it is humans that actually end up being the unnatural ones.

PSEUDOPOD wouldn't have been here a while ago.

What he says doesn't add up. The logic is broken.

If anything, his prior experience may be making this job more difficult to adjust to.

Something happened on the moon, something he will never be able to face again.

He must be referring to the building's song.

The only explanation is that the delegation is not what it seems. There is another motive behind the ceremony.

Has he been smoking this whole time?

He's really broken the intellectual 'bank' with that one.

There's something you should be doing, but you're not.

And an even weirder thing to be so evasive about.

An unseen puppet master.

That wasn't too difficult to spell out now, was it?

Long-standing...?

Highly suspicious, warrants further investigation.

Of course! Reread the cipher using the book as a new key.
