EMTERR

EMTERR

The Luzian prisoner should be able to reveal your best opportunity to assassinate the Grand Lich. But you'll need to see if EMTERR will trade for him in order to get him out of jail first.

EMTERR's junior negotiator mentioned a 'mysterious gap' that may have something to do with the Grand Lich's itinerary. Get him to reveal what it is.

"EMTERR interrogated me, here in Portofiro. I broke."

"Whatever, listen: The Grand Lich is coming to Portofiro. He's negotiating some kind of secret treaty with EMTERR..."

The only EMTERR servant you know of just got done electrocuting you with her correction pen. There must be other minions around, if you turn over a few more stones.

"Meanwhile the threat of Reunión keeps EMTERR's money and clients tied up all along the borders of the old Luzian Empire. Removing that would be a major boon to their stability victory condition."

"What does EMTERR expect to get from this deal?"

So that's it -- a gap in the Grand Lich's official itinerary, unknown even to EMTERR. Wide enough for a bullet to go through.

"Why's EMTERR so worked up over some old colonies?"

This man matches the description you've received of one of the two EMTERR negotiators said to be handling this 'secret treaty'.

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

The old pilot was correct: This man works for EMTERR.

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.

Put all the pieces together, and the conclusion is obvious: This man works for EMTERR.

You know this man's connected with EMTERR. He may be one of the two negotiators you've caught wind of.

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

"No, I meant secret jails run by EMTERR in Portofiro."

"Did you know she's an EMTERR spy?"

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

"We will take EMTERR's money to develop Portofiro, no more Superbloc fearmongering! Portofiro isn't some backwater province. PROSPERITY AND AUTONOMY!"

"You'd think with all the EMTERR money this place has gotten they'd have fixed their aero-trams."

"Circumstances. I studied on a very generous EMTERR stipend. One of those programs to take gifted but under-resourced youths from the Periphery and educate them in the Developed World."

A national tragedy for Portofiro; an excellent quarter for EMTERR.

EMTERR.

"Come on. Foreign moneyman, in this city? EMTERR, obviously."

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.

EMTERR, a.k.a. The Bank. Somewhere between a global development bank and a private intelligence service with allegiance to none but itself and capitalism, EMTERR is the Opera's wealthiest enemy -- and therefore yours.

Were the talks not currently on hold, Portofiro would be being carved up by the drunken and otherwise degenerate diplomats representing the two rival powers of EMTERR and La Luz even now.

You asked him yourself -- who would EMTERR even be leaking the details of the secret treaties to, anyway? And how could it possibly benefit them to do so?

"EMTERR? ... Human Capital..."

"The EMTERR Head of Human Capital lives here. I have business with her."

Across the Developed World, the last colonial empires finally crack up -- a bloody wound stanched with billions in foreign currency under the guise of EMTERR's new stabilisation loans.

Show it to EMTERR's spineless junior negotiator. He can't ignore this!

Opera: 1. EMTERR: Nil.

"The real Facundo Reyes is in a secret EMTERR jail."

At your direction, of course. Her father was head of a secret Dream Study receiving EMTERR funding.

"You're against the secret treaties the Lich was negotiating with EMTERR, is that it?"

The endpoint of EMTERR's core psycho-philosophy: turning Want into Need.

They were officially cautioned by an EMTERR operant. As was your double, it seems. With prejudice.

Begin here: The weird man in headphones is an EMTERR operant. That much is clear from this astral door.

EMTERR.

Is EMTERR after... Yana?

This is EMTERR.

So EMTERR, through the headphone man, gave PSEUDOPOD... an Ultra Violeta disc.

So EMTERR, through the headphone man, gave PSEUDOPOD... a red disc.

Yana's been playing me from the start. Very possible she works for EMTERR.

Did PSEUDOPOD defect to EMTERR... for a disc?

There's only one shadowy 'credit provider' you know. EMTERR.

"The 'Decreto de Recaptura Cívica'. 80s regulations. After Nestor's ousting, EMTERR offered 'stabilisation' packages to prop up the local economy. Came with a few strings."
