Tempo's former goon Ignatz has wheedled his way into a job working for the Weeping Eye. He's promised you insider information about the secret treaties, in exchange for a favour.

"Talk to me, K: I know you were picked up by the Weeping Eye when the Crew went down. Is that what all this is about?"

She gave information to the Weeping Eye. Make her show you the dream so you can find out what.

"I don't want to watch the Weeping Eye torture you."

"They're here? The Weeping Eye?" She grits her teeth. "Let me help, Hersh. Give me another chance."

"The Weeping Eye doesn't let people go in exchange for "nothing"."

"Tempo's gone. Got into some trouble with the Weeping Eye."

"Vespar's dead. The Weeping Eye turned him over to the Azzurri mob."

The man from the photo shop. The Weeping Eye's errand boy.

"In one sense I underestimated you: I didn't think you'd actually manage to put a squad together. I hope the stars look kindly on them. The Weeping Eye will not."

"Is it any wonder you haven't managed to cobble a squad together? I hope the stars look kindly on you. The Weeping Eye will not."

The Weeping Eye have tied up a loose end.

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

"The Animal Zone has been used by the Weeping Eye as a pop-up torture room."

The Weeping Eye tried to flip him.

Let the Boatman know you're in the Weeping Eye's sight: it may twist his arm.

"The Weeping Eye got him, he's dead."

"The Weeping Eye got him, he's wanged."

"I'm pretty sure the Weeping Eye got him."

Let the Boatman know you're in the Weeping Eye's sight: it may twist his arm.

Prayers won't help. Let the Boatman know you're in the Weeping Eye's sight: it may twist his arm.

Let the Boatman know you're in the Weeping Eye's sight: it may twist his arm.

"The dockworkers suspect they found an agent of the Weeping Eye, working right here in the bazaar!"

The man in Foto 24. Were the Weeping Eye that close to you already?

The Weeping Eye do not care about knock-off toys. If they're here then something is happening levels above her head.

"Why do you think the Weeping Eye would be interested in the bazaar?"

How else do you explain a Portofiran dock monkey managing to ingratiate himself into the closed ranks of the Weeping Eye?

Meanwhile, the head of the Weeping Eye has been watching you. You see your face reflected back six times in his sextuple lenses.

Your controller was right: KALEIDOSCOPE has eluded the Weeping Eye's gaze. To them, he's simply a middle-aged man in a slightly inappropriate hooded sweatshirt.

"And yet you bested the Weeping Eye's finest." He turns to his goons. "Reflects poorly on you all, I'd say."

Recall the case of Operant DUTY, who was tortured so effectively by the Weeping Eye that he began to reveal the secrets of his captors.

With a caress, the head of the Weeping Eye places the last card back into the pile you drew, then lays them out again, one by one.

"Hyper-spy shit. The Weeping Eye is in tatters."

Your controller was right: Yana has eluded the Weeping Eye's gaze. To them, she's simply a teenaged delinquent, skipping class for the day.

The head of the Weeping Eye looks at you for a long moment. He reaches into his coat.

"I think the Weeping Eye have found me. A guy that worked for you, here, in the bazaar."

"And the same man who tailed you around the bazaar." He frowns. "Meaning the Weeping Eye wasn't just after Tempo. They're after you too."

"Ignatz. He worked here for a bit, but we got rid of him for taking bribes -- from the Weeping Eye, I'd assumed."

"I might've picked up a tail -- the Weeping Eye's errand boy."

"The Weeping Eye come in heavy, start cracking skulls. Tempo gets a wild look in his eye and follows it out the door. You two spirits appear out of nowhere, full of socks and half-stories... And now we're all jumping at shadows."

"It was the Weeping Eye."

"An errand boy for the Weeping Eye. Ignatz worked here for a spell -- until he was spotted taking bribes from outsiders."

The Weeping Eye may have relied on the sound of animal cries to cover the interrogation.

"I know the Weeping Eye tortured people here. Are you one of them?"

This is unlikely to be a member of the Weeping Eye.

The crudeness of it points toward a sick joke by the Weeping Eye.

"That was Tesoro Buendia, chief of the Weeping Eye."

"It was the Weeping Eye. We have history with them."

"And is he? Working for the Weeping Eye?"

"For being a clown, officially. And unofficially, for maybe going in with the Weeping Eye."
