EMTERR

"I hear EMTERR's been kidnapping dissidents lately."

"Basic semiotics, I'd say. Financial capital always craves cultural capital. La Luz is on the bleeding edge of that -- what EMTERR can't digest, it must expel."

"That EMTERR suit I found hanging on the Miracle Line..."

"Reminds of something else I saw recently: One of the Opera's finest trusts her fate to a mysterious payphone, then guts it out against one of EMTERR's most sadistic interrogators. Bold, reckless. Real human drama, you know."

"What do you know about these 'secret treaties' between EMTERR and Luz?"

"What's EMTERR sweating about?"

"He's EMTERR, don't forget that."

"For EMTERR."

"Ex-EMTERR, you said...? But yeah. I'm vigilant. Maximum stagecraft."

"It was a Dream Study, backed by an astronomical grant by those EMTERR fuckers, ran by the both of us."

"Yes. We were running a Dream Study together, backed by an astronomical grant from those EMTERR fuckers."

"Yes, my visionary research programme that he leeched off me. And with the backing of an astronomical grant from those EMTERR fuckers too!"

A few months, at most, after EMTERR offered Portofiro the chance to develop their own space program -- and the funds to do so.

You were all at risk, all of you. From the Weeping Eye, from EMTERR, from each other.

"The Opera, Hershel, is an organisation like any other and we do as we're assigned. For example -- you hooked me to EMTERR, you abandoned me to EMTERR. With EMTERR I now remain."

"You placed me with EMTERR -- surrounded by them, watching them search for me. I had to make myself safe where you left me."

"Well then he shouldn't have been prying around EMTERR's business."

"You put me with EMTERR, you abandoned me to EMTERR. The bank have never demonstrated a similar disregard."

"Expect a contact from the EMTERR negotiation division. And nothing ever again from me."

"Yes, we do as we're assigned. You put me with EMTERR, you abandoned me to EMTERR. With EMTERR I remain."

"I want to ask about your new position with EMTERR."

The spoils of working for EMTERR.

"I need to contact an EMTERR negotiator to make a prisoner exchange."

"So EMTERR are better than I am."

That was EMTERR. Entry level stuff, even then you didn't last long. The Weeping Eye are far more sadistic.

"The person in that EMTERR jail is Facundo Reyes, Minister of Mass Culture for the Imperio Illuminado."

"EMTERR... has Facundo?" Something darkens the glass in his eyes for a moment.

"Nice try. The real Dante's rotting in a secret EMTERR jail, right here in Portofiro."

"I traded him with a rougue EMTERR asset, in fact. For Ultra-Violeta."

"EMTERR caught the double. I've caught the man himself."
