H. Reiju Mihara, A Normative Economist H. Reiju Mihara, Summer 2006 H. Reiju Mihara, who has an Erdos number of 3 (via Erdos to A. L. Rubin to N. Brunner), is one of the four voting theorists (along with Condorcet, Borda, and Arrow) referred to in an article in The Why Files, a science education site founded as a project of the National Institute for Science Education. Mihara s works have been cited in books on various subjects, including social choice theory, mathematics, history of economics (cybernetics), and philosophy of science. Here is an example. Apparently, he needs more! Note Provided that you reasonably respect my rights, you are encouraged to make references and links to these pages (http //w.atwiki.jp/reiju/ and below). Some characters on this page will not appear correctly if your system cannot handle Japanese properly. In that case, just ignore them. (Even if they appear correctly, they are not likely to make sense to you unless you can read Japanese.) [リンクは大歓迎．] My previous site (http //www.cc.kagawa-u.ac.jp/~reiju/) has moved to the current site as well as an archive site (the latter consists mainly of pages not likely to be updated). Go to the front page (in Japanese; 日本語) [三原麗珠の日本語ページ; エッセイ，自己紹介，開設科目，開発教材，研究のためのリソースなど] Research Interests Fields Social Choice, Cooperative Game Theory, Mechanism Design, Economic Theory, Microeconomics, Normative Economics. Keywords Arrow's impossibility theorem, Turing computability, rank aggregation, simple games, Nakamura number. FAQs (research) answers some questions about Arrow s Theorem. You can find a precise statement of the theorem and a brief proof, too. When I m asked what my specialization is, I usually answer normative economics ---an area of economics (?) concerned with value judgments ("what is good?" or "what should be done?"). Since economics has "officially" been a value-free science (that is, it avoids value judgments), normative economics has conventionally adopted a certain trick. Instead of saying that a certain policy is good, it used to say "if your goal is such and such (this part contains value-judgments), then this policy works." Well...fine. But can economics really be value-free? Is it really important to be so? The fact is that in the conventional normative economics (usually called "welfare economics"), the "if" part (a performance criterion) has almost always been concerned with efficiency. (Economists say a certain situations "efficient" or "Pareto-optimal" if there is no alternative situation that is preferred by everybody.) Maybe we d better consider other criteria, too. Fortunately, social choice theory (or its descendant), traditionally a minor area in economics(?), offers many different criteria. These criteria include (i) whether the society treats individuals equally, (ii) whether information available in the society is efficiently used, (iii) whether the society adopts rules likely to be followed by many people (doesn t the society ignore individuals incentives to exploit the rules?), (iv) whether the society respects individual s freedom of choice? Choosing from these and other performance criteria, or deciding what criteria to emphasize, is an activity that cannot always be value-free. As I understand, normative economics (i) recognizes the impossibility of a value-free social science, but (ii) does not particularly view this impossibility negatively, and (iii) even positively gets involved with value judgments. Normative economics belongs to the intersection of several disciplines---including ethics and economics. Most of my work, however, is (and will probably be) rather mathematical, reflecting my training in Minnesota as an economic theorist. In particular, I adopt an axiomatic approach extensively used in social choice. My current research is concerned about information processing in social choice. Though it may not sound particularly normative, its intellectual background dates back to the debate on the possibility of socialism. In the debate, F.A. Hayek insisted that socialism would not work since it could not efficiently make use of dispersed information available to individuals. Although I do not think that is the most important reason for the failure of socialism, I think it is an important one. I applied theory of computation to examine possibility of centralized decision making. Academic Works Go to the page on researchmap.

【Tags Luka M Miku tM Ryuusei-P】 Original Music Title magnet Music Lyrics written, Voice edited by minato / 流星P(Ryuusei-P) Singers 初音ミク (Hatsune Miku), 巡音ルカ (Megurine Luka) Fanmade Promotional Videos Click here for the Japanese Lyrics English Lyrics (translated by animeyay)： A feeble fire is lit at the edge of my heart; without my knowing, it spreads into burning passion. My butterfly flapped about aimlessly, leaving behind some powder on your hand. Pulling apart our intertwined fingers, moving from our lips to our tongues, what we re doing do might be unforgivable, and that s precisely why we re so fired up. I want you to embrace me closely and gauge my limit. Please make me believe that this is not a sin. I want you to kiss me and repaint my body. I want to be intoxicated and drowned in your charm. It might be necessary for you to tied me up; if you love me, then show me some fidelity. I can t help but like "weird" things, so let s just go as far as we can go. With a heart that has gone astray, we will melt so easily, that there s no free time for us even to feel each other s tenderness. What has been repeating is not our dream, but the unmistakably realistic "we." I know as soon as we touch, we can t turn back, but that s fine, for you re my one and only love. As dawn breaks, I become uneasy, and end up crying in tears. You whispered "It s okay" to me, but were you also crying? I want you to embrace me closely and gauge my limit. Please make me believe that this is not a sin. I want you to kiss me and repaint my body. I want to be intoxicated and drowned in your charm. Draw me closer, as if we are two magnets, that even if we separate, we will reunite again. Let s become one; it s okay not to able to turn back. That s fine, for you re my one and only love. Singable English Lyrics (by lordxwillie])： A~ small flame started burning from the bottom of my heart And before I noticed, this passion started a blaze in my soul My~ butterfly flew~ around you so erratically The~ powder from its wings fell on your open palm Letting go of our partner s loving hand We embrace in a passionate kiss~ Yet if our love is unforgivable, then all the more~ We become fired~ up I just want you to hold me, I want you to confirm for me That the love we have is~ not some kind of a mistake Kiss me on the lips, I want the world to change for me Intoxicated by the~ love we share, let me drown in this moment~ Keep me confined with you and want me more and more each passing day If you truly love me, you have to show me that you really care If it s too "strange" for you to handle, I will make it right for you To as far as we can go, I ll be there for you If we happen to completely lose our minds I ll simply melt together with you It is as if, all the time in the world, is not enough~ to hold you tenderly What we had to go through is different from the dream we had But the reality that~ is set in stone, for the two of us There s no turning back, I realized after knowing you But that is fine with me... nobody comes close, my most precious butterfly~ I feel nervous as dawn looms yet again And I cry, with you watching over me "It will be alright," you said to calm me down But were you not~, crying with me also? I just want you to hold me, I want you to confirm for me That the love we have is~ not some kind of a mistake Kiss me on the lips, I want the world to change for me Intoxicated by the~ love we share, I will drown in it Pull me to yourself, like a magnet would on me Even if someday, we~ were torn apart, I will still find you Hold on to me tight, there s no returning after this But that is fine with me, nobody comes close, my most precious butterfly~ Singable English Lyrics (by reggydayo])： In the deepest part of me, a tiny flame was lighted And before I knew it, my whole heart became ignited Wand ring as a butterfly, I aimlessly took flight, and Found myself falling apart alighted on your palm Let go of my hands entwined around your own And instead I ll press my lips against yours Even if they say that what we have is wrong, When you re with me, I burn up all the more I want you to hold me tight, and reassure me every night Make me believe that no matter what they say, We re in love, baby Kiss me in the dark like we could never come apart Intoxicated by you, I am consumed, Wanna drown in this fantasy I need you to restrain me, I need you to need me more and more If you love me, show me, and know me Further than you ve gone before Call it weird, but this love is something That I simply can t ignore Let s just run until we find somewhere to run to If it seems I ve let my heart lead me astray, It s because I ve melted my life with hers So much pressure weighs upon our shoulders that We can t be soft-touchers or whisperers This isn t just another dream, For sure, this is the real thing This is reality, you and I together, and face-to-face With the knowledge that From this point on, we can t go back But that s okay, because I d give up the world Just to be with you, precious one Dawn breaks colder than I ve ever seen before I m driven to tears my anxiety Then you whispered to me "It ll be okay", But I could hear your voice was wavering I want you to hold me tight, and reassure me every night Make me believe that no matter what they say, We re in love, baby Kiss me in the dark like we could never come apart Intoxicated by you, I am consumed Wanna drown in you Looking in your eyes, I m absolutely magnetized If they took me away, God, I swear that I d Be pulled back to you This I know is true, and on my life I promise you I ll be okay because I d give up the world Just to see you, my precious one Singable English Lyrics (by Razzyness]) Like a flame that s burning so softly deep within my gentle heart. Now our soul s entwine passionately should have known this from the start. All the butterflies fly around us dance around so gracefully And the magic dust from it s wing Fall slowly to your hand. There s nothing that tastes better then your sweet lips We embrace in what s called a sinful kiss If this is a sin that can t be forgiven. Then all the more. Our flames of passion soar. So hold me close inside your arms. And save me from the right and wrongs. And tell me that our love is not some kind of wrong doing. Kiss me on the lips What could be more sweeter then this ? Intoxicated by love and it s drug I wanna love you eternally My desire for you grows with each and every passing day If you truly loved me you ll listen to what I have to say. If our love is too "strange" to handle, I will make it right for you Push the boundaries of our love and lose yourself in it. If we happen to completely lose our minds. I d be fine with melting away with you Why does it seem that there s no way in this world. to make you mine until the end of time. Through all the times that we have had No matter if it s good or bad. I hope you ll know that I ll always be right here waiting for you. There s no turning back The love we share is just a trap But that is fine with me. Singable English Lyrics (by VocaloidVocalist]) A small flame sparked underneath my own heart There was so much passion it burst into such a flare My tiny butterfly fluttered around with so much distress That it fell into your hands and turned into a blaze Joined hand in hand I felt your warm touch that we dived into our hot kiss This love was never meant to be, but this is fate, we cannot let go! Embrace me with your love, tell me this is meant to be, I want your tounge to wander throughout my whole body, won t you kiss me? Trap me with your toxic glare I get so drunk off your lovely scent it enchants my soul Cage me in your everlasting lust for hunger Show me your fixation if you truly mean to love me You are my one and only thing that I desire Let s go crazy and drown in this flesh of sin It must be fate that we both are insane To the point of sickening resolute This tender feeling we both seem to share, can only mean, we truly are in sync Our happiness is limited, not like we used to dream If only reality wasn t so unfair, we could be together, but we can t turn back, for all we have suffered You are my one and only that I, wish to cherish for all time... Dawn is quickly approaching with every move it makes me hurt so much that I cry You tell a white lie to spare my mind if so then why, do you cry that time? Tightly embrace all of me, tell me this love is not a sin This love is not wrong we are the proof there is no boundaries, I want to believe, lock me in your firm arms I get so drunk off your lovely scent it enchants my soul Similar to a magnet you draw me Even if we seperate there will always be a way back to you Please hold me, I can t turn away from your grasp Nothing else matters if you are not beside me... Singable English Lyrics (by diamondenn) A soft touch of desire Puts my painful heart on fire Drowning in your warmth and beauty everyone admires My small and sparkling butterfly Flutters under your eyes Sprinkling your slender fingers with ecstatic sighs Bodies intertwining, tangled up like vines From your lips I taste the sweetest wine Sinners, cursed and damned and never to reach out We are confined But if it makes you mine... Now if you d try and hold me tight And tell me everything s alright Please would you lie to me Smile and say you d stay for the night Brush your lips on mine Ignore the tears that make me blind Intoxicate me now Melt it with your breath The last of my sane mind In silver chains please lock me Cage me and possess me Show me that you care Burn in your own wrath and jealousy I know it sounds desperate But that is how I like it We can go much farther than most can tolerate My soul wanders in a labyrinth of doubts No one cares to show me the way out Carefully you gathered them up part by part My broken heart And when you pressed restart... It s not the dream that never ends It s our love that will long extend Emotions never fade even if the night comes to an end Touch my skin again And we no longer can be friends But as long as you re here Breathing into my ear I ve nothing to fear Dawn is breaking and I m trying not to cry Didn t think we d have to say goodbye You say it s a fact nobody can deny Nor can defy Now it s your turn to cry Now if you d try and hold me tight And tell me everything s alright Please would you lie to me Smile and say you d stay for the night Brush your lips on mine Ignore the tears that make me blind Intoxicate me now Melt me with your breath Even if it kills me... On the sheets we re hand in hand Like two magnets end to end Silhouettes merge and meld Fading like a dream as the moon descends Touch my skin again And we no longer can be friends But as long as you re here Breathing into my ear I ve nothing to fear Singable English Lyrics (by meowmoobaa4anime) Deep within my heart, I felt the spark to start a fire inside. Soon before I knew it burned and left me with no place to hide. Wandering wings so tired, gentle, calm, and yet so beautiful, Are consumed in flames but its still, so wonderful. Wrapped around your finger from the lips to tongue. And I know they still think were too young. Tangled up inside these beautiful chains, I know myself, but I feel barely sane. I want to drown in your embrace, I want to live to see your face, Gazing back at me, with those loving eyes, and I want you to Softy call my name, I can tolerate the pain Please just know that you are what I want, And I know thats not a mistake. Every moment I find it gets harder to restrain desire This is love so look upon it, watch as my small flame grows higher. Soon that feeling so unknown, has spread without and grown and grown It becomes a burning longing, sweet belonging. If even if I say I want to stray, I dont mean it. I am always drawn like a magnet. Right back to you, I will run and start to cry I dont know why, but I will till I die There is no happiness but this, Hanging on a very kiss, Dreaming of a day, we will never see, And reality pulls us back again. Even if Im just a friend, I will follow you till the very end, To the end of eternity! Anxiety arrives with dawn to find my tears. When you whispered to me its okay dear, Did I hear a quiver when I heard you say? Just dont look back, cause this was no mistake. I want to drown in your embrace, I want to live to see your face, Gazing back at me, with those loving eyes, and I want you to Softy call my name, I can tolerate the pain Please just know that you are what I want, And I know theres No happiness but this, Hanging on a very kiss Dreaming of a day, I can almost see. But I know that we We cant go back again, And it may be a sin, but loving you, touching you, Is all I could ever want.

And now, globe-trotter Torigoe will give us one last message. TS Life is a journey to challenge. A new world lies ahead! Be bold, be curious... and you may discover that your own world has changed. Interview - Luc Besson What does it mean to love someone? To love yourself? Angel-A is a story about insecurity and the struggle with love. A man who has lost hope and a mysterious beauty who won t leave him. Where does true love lie? Director Luc Besson has examined many shades of love in films like Leon and Nikita. Who do we have to take on this messenger of love? Actress Kikukawa Rei. This lesson in love begins in a secluded hotel room in Tokyo.... Kikukawa Rei (KR) I want to know about love. What do you think love is? Luc Besson (LB) A nightmare. KR Why? Isn t it good? How pessimistic! How come? LB You fall in love sometimes with one person and it s like being in accordance, one to the other, but it s like the sea. Everything is moving all the time. That s the woman, that s the man. You re like this and suddenly for a moment you re in connection and then tchooo! It goes, you know. She changes, you change, life changes and then.... So probably the most difficult thing is to connect. It s two different people. It s very, very difficult. But at least when you connect with yourself, then you can stay connected all your life after. Interview - Q Orianka Kilcher The New World a movie about multicultural America s earliest years. At the start of the 1600s, English settlers looking for new land came to America, and came into contact with the Native American. It was a clash of civilizations. Caught in the middle was Pocahontas, a chief s daughter. Playing her is 16-year-old newcomer Q Orianka Kilcher. She herself has Native American ancestry. PH What elements of native American culture would you like to introduce to Japan or the rest of the world？ Q Orianka Kilcher (QK) I would probably say be more environmentally friendly. In simplicity you can find fun and joy - beauty in the simplicity of life. PH Basically, native American policy towards loving the land. QK Loving the land, and being more conscious of things, of pollution or whatever. Love nature and live in harmony with the earth. Today, Native American traditions are more relevant than ever.

We do not take on passengers. Leave us, human. We are tired of your threats. You. I do not wish to speak with you. Your threats are tiresome. Insulted You do not concern me, human. I m desperate. I need to get to your city, to your library. I m looking for someone. Screw pride, I really need to get to the Dark People s library There are no humans in the city. Rarely is anyone allowed to visit our forest. Not a human. Someone else. The White of the Draic Kin. I know of no such creature. You should look elsewhere. How can I prove that I m what you call a Wave? It is not something you can prove. It is something you are. And you are not a Wave. Then why did one of your people tell me I was? If you ever were a Wave, it is no longer in you. I see only death in your eyes, human. You collect books, isn t that right? We collect all that is written and recorded. Books, scrolls, stones, crystals - history, poetry, journals, stories. From the first word to, some day, the last. Until our collection is complete, we will continue to travel, to trade, and to collect. I guess the last existing copy of a rare book would be pretty important to you. It would be. Unless we already possess it. You don t. Not this one. Farewell to my Wizardin Days , by Roper F. Klacks. I will speak with my brothers at the library. This is a book we do not have. We need it for our library. Will you part with it? For a price. I need to get to your city. Show me the book, so that I can see for myself. Very well, human. This book is of value to us. We will grant you passage on our Shadowship. Thank you. When do we leave? Very soon. We await only the last deliveries from our suppliers. Step aboard. If we wish to be invisible, we can be. If we wish to be forgotten, we will be. I forgot what he told me about the Dark People s library Roper Klacks, at your service! You said something about being an author? Author Didn t Klacks mention something about becoming an author? A published one! I wrote my memoirs a few years ago. Farewell to My Wizardin Days , by Roper F. Klacks. What s the F stand for? Nothing. It just looked better on the cover. Anyway, as it turned out, the first and only print run had a slight...problem. A small charm made its way onto page one hundred and eight. When readers got to that page, the book, as misfortune would have it, exploded. And you had nothing to do with that? Me? Absolutely not! I ve been aquitted of all charges, and every single lawsuit has been dismissed in the magical court. I m quite innocent. It does mean, however, that only one copy of Farewell to My Wizardin Days , by Roper F. Klacks exists. And that would be mine. I ve decharmed it, and page one hundred and eight is quite safe to read now, if you re interested. Not really, no. Would you be interested in parting with that book of yours? Oh, I don t know. It s the last remaining copy, you know. All the other copies spontaneously combusted. I m aware of that. But I need something to get me passage on that Shadowship down in Shady Quay. You believe my book would help with that? Maybe. The Dark People collect books, and yours is quite unique, isn t that so? It is. It is. Wouldn t you consider it an honour to have your first published novel become a part of the greatest library in Arcadia? Hmm. I would. I would indeed! Wait, I have it right here. I carry it with me always. Never again shall I glance upon the Top Ten Reasons Why You Should Not Build A Flying Castle on page forty-two, and smile knowingly... But think about it. Thousands of people will get to enjoy your...unique outlook on life. Your book will be part of something much, much greater. You re right. Of course you re right. Go on, take it away, or I shall become emotional. And when a wizard weeps, the whole world weeps with him. The humanity. The humanity! Book Klacks book is quite literally one of a kind... There you go. Treat it with care. Don t let it get wet. Don t feed it red meat. I need to visit their library. Ahem. Anyway, as luck would have it, there s a Shadowship docked down in the harbour right now. I m sure they ll let the famous April Rye-br― And for the love of the Balance, do not hold it upside down when there s a full moon! You re welcome. Look, we may not have much time, so let s get out of here before anyone shows up. Okay. Where are we going? Uh... I haven t thought that far. Yet. I mean, we can try and fight our way out, but I m not sure how good you are with a staff. Not very. We ll have to find some other way out. No time for chitchat, Zoë. We need to find a way out. Talk to April Stop wasting time, and help me find a way out of here. We need to find a way out. Now. Help me push this crate. It s a myrshnik-eat-myrshnik world, baby. Baby? Okay. I ll try my best. Run along, deliver your sandwich. Are you still here? I wasn t practising anything. I just...just landed in a very inconvenient spot. Three soldiers saw you materialise out of thin air in the middle of the marketplace. If you re not a witch, then how did you do that? Someone else sent me here to Arc― I mean, to Marcuria. I m from the...the south. I m not a spy, and I m not a witch. I see. I believe you. I will speak with the warden, and maybe he will let you go. That is all I can do. You re just going to leave me here? This is not my jurisdiction. I m sorry. And here in Friar s Keep, we follow the laws. To the letter. I m afraid I can t release her simply because you think she s innocent. I shall bring this matter to the tower s attention. I am quite sure you have more pressing matters to attend to than to stay here in the Keep all day. Feel free to show yourself out the door. Shouldn t you be inside the prison making a sandwich delivery? Good idea. Grab me one of her famous roasted gipa wraps while you re at it, will you? Extra sauce, no pickles, onions, or bthur ambi rr, please. No. Go get that sandwich from Benrime, April! Zoë s waiting! I ll wait for you here while you get the potions. I m a good waiter. It is curious. We share a common memory, and our thoughts are as one. He should have known. That s fine. I m here now. So this is your fabled city? It s stunning. I will take you to the library. Come with me. Stay close. Come. We are almost there. I know they re running short of warm clothes over in Snapjaw s Cove, Jiran. We need to send a boat over there with coats, shoes, and blankets. What―? 何だ―？ It will find you! 奴に見つかるぞ！ ...God. What...is that? What...? …なんてことだ。あれは…何だ？ 何なんだ…？ No... No. No! やめろ…よせ。来るな！ The Undreaming... アンドリーミングだ…。 Am I dead? Because the undreaming is unchained. I don t know what that means, but it doesn t sound good. So where do I begin? You re here to tell me a story, Zoë. That s fine. Okay... Where... Where am I? It doesn t feel like a dream. どこだ…。ここはどこなんだ？ 夢とは思えないが。 I should be freezing, but I don t feel cold at all. Actually, I don t feel anything. This all looks so...familiar. The visions. This is the place from my visions. This place...again. It feels different this time. You must save her. I don t― Who are you? What are you? You must save her, Zoë. Please! But I don t know what to do! She s fine. She doesn t need to be saved. Wait, what are you doing? Go! Faith wants me to come inside. I found her. I found April Ryan, but― I m not... I m not stopping. But I really don t know what to― Save her. Save her! I know. I see. What are you playing? A game. Really? Can I play, too? Maybe. Okay. Do you remember your mother? No. I don t know. I don t want to talk about that. Let s talk about something else. Sometimes we just have to have... And I can promise you that I ll stay here as long as you need me to. I m getting sleepy, Zoë. It s okay, sweetie. You can go to sleep. I m getting cold, too. Come here. Better? Yes... Will you stay with me? As long as you need me to, Faith. Even when I m sleeping? Even when you re sleeping. I promise. Okay. Good night, Zoë. Good night, big sister. Good night, little sister. Goodbye, Faith... Get away from there! That exhibit is very expensive! It s not meant to be touched! Stop. Stop! Freedom! Gojira! Come here! Oh no! I m going to get fired... You should do a better job of keeping your grandson in check, ma am! Do you want some gum? Yes! Only...only I m not supposed to take candy from strangers. Or talk to strangers. Or look at strangers. It s not really candy. It s gum. Not a big talker, are you? Or maybe you re just shy? Hey, any chance you could help me out? You see, I need to distract that guard. No? Nothing? Not up for any more mischief today? Pity. Are you sure you don t want to help me distract the guard? It ll be fun. Hello again. Still nothing? Okay. Mmmmnnngg... Uh...really? Mmmnnngg... Okay! How s the gum? Really good, thank you! Enjoying your gum? Yes! Good. Maybe you can help me with something in return? What? I need you to distract the guard. Can you do that? Mmm...maybe? But Obaasan will be very, very upset. Again. Please? It s for a really good purpose. I promise. And it ll be fun. Hmm. Are you really a grown-up? I am. Because I m only supposed to listen to grown-ups. Okay, I ll help you. Watch this. Thank you for the gum! No? Okay. Hey! Hey, you! I told you already. No bathroom. Right. Sorry. Enjoy your stay at the WATIcorp museum, ma am. The next time, I m calling security. Didn t I warn you? Stay right there, security s on its way. But― Stay there. Don t move! She s right here! Careful, Dad... That is not him... ―and finally, today s the day everyone s been waiting for. Isn t that right, Ryan? That s right, Diane! It s been a closely guarded secret for months, but today, WATIcorp finally unveils its hotly anticipated new product Fans have been lining up in front of stores for weeks in preparation for what some are now calling...the single greatest event in recorded history. Wow! If you didn t have to be here this morning, Ryan, I m sure you d be out there lining up with the rest of them. (Laughs) You betcha, Diane! Wire rumours have it that Dreamtime will allow people to dream lucid dreams about anything they want. Isn t that something, Ryan? Modern technology. You gotta love it. You just gotta love it, Diane... WATIcorp has yet to reveal what Dreamtime is all about, except that it s destined to change the face of entertainment...forever. Hello, old friend. ...what are you...doing here? Time is a circle. It will not end here. You are needed. Take my hand, Brian. The future awaits us. I have a small problem with the Dark People. Dark People Insulting the Dark People might not have been such a good idea Hmm? I went and insulted that Shadowguide down in Shady Quay, and now he won t speak with me. Touchy lot, those Dark People. Easily insulted. Back when I was evil, I tried to trap one of them in stone. Not the best idea I ve ever had... If you have something they want, I m quite sure they will help you out. But they re usually quite pragmatic. All they care about is collecting rare books for that library of theirs. What did you say I should do to win over that Shadowguide? Well, I m no expert on the Dark People, but I do know that they collect rare books. Sam? Sam, is that you? You must help me. There s only darkness. They stole my eyes and my ears. They took the world away from me! There s nothing left. Nothing... Do you hear me? Are you there? I need my senses back. Answer me. Answer me! Pets? Pets, what are you― (Screams) Papa can t hear you, and he can t talk to you. Pets? She, uh, she even smiled at me when I went in there this afternoon to give her the injection. She didn t say much...but Faith s always been a quiet girl. Anyway. She really needs to be in a proper medical facility. But, unfortunately, that does not appear to be an option. HQ doesn t want the subject to be moved. I...I really wish there was something I could do. The, the subject... I just hope she doesn t have to die here. Faith is... She s just a child. And I feel responsible. Partly responsible. Obviously, we re just doing our jobs, but...still. Okay. Okay. Okay, we re back now. We re...we re good. That was weird. For a second I thought I saw... I think she s dead. Faith s dead. The dosage... I think we, uh, we... I think she s dead. I m going home now. Dr Grondal is taking over my next shift. I need to...to rest. To sleep. I haven t slept in... Anyway. The...the subject is very ill. We just gave her a very large injection of the new Morpheus, as per HQ s brief, but she s...not responding. Shit. Oh, shit. I think we... I think we just lost her. We just lost her. I m not getting any...any readings here. She s flatlined. Can you please...just... Please, please go check on her. I think she s...she s dead now. I think she just passed away. Go! I don t plan on saying anything to anyone - about the experiments, about the lab, about...what happened. But I am leaving this crystal behind. She deserves better than that. She deserves to be remembered. She was a person. A girl. This is Dr Jeanine Park. That s it. I won t let them simply...wash their hands of her, like she was never here. Like she never existed. Faith... The subject would have to be...terminated. Granted, Jiva created her for this purpose, and it s not like she s ever had a normal life, but still... At any rate, it s not like we have a choice. We re simply following orders. And WATI HQ is adamant that we keep pushing forward. There s something seriously wrong. I think the dosage... I don t, uh, I don t think she ll last― That s it. I think something happened. I m not sure what happened, but something did happen. Her name was Faith. I can t believe what they did to her. It s just...horrible. And...she said Jiva . "Jiva created her". What does that mean? Did Jiva create Faith? I need to get back to Casablanca. Your devotion to your faith and your prowess with a blade should never be confused. Religion and war mix as well as dry grass and a flaming torch. How can that be? I hold my sword in the name of my faith, and my faith is the shield that protects me from harm. They are like two rings, intertwined. Or like a pair of snakes eating each others tails. Don t be blinded by rhetoric, Kian. I ve taught you better than that. But the Mission, Garmon― I ll see you when you get back. You can tell me all about the Eastlanders, and how you rescued their maidens from a life of sin! May you walk with the Goddess, Kian. Are you men or are you boys? Fight with some dignity! I have never seen such a sorry display of swordsmanship in my long life. Ha! Your enemies will tremble before you! What do you want, a pat on your rump? You did well, but you can do even better! You look like two lovers out for a stroll in the moonlight! Fight, don t dance! To trainees Lift that arm! Goddess have mercy, there s no hope for any of you... I would not have any of you watch my back in a temple, let alone on a battlefield! When the day comes you have to fight a real enemy, may the Goddess take your souls swiftly. Thanks ever so much for leaving me hanging dry on that mountain path... Eight! Bloody! Years! Ago! Oh, for crying out loud! Maybe he was simply confused. Maybe his eyes were blinded. Maybe... By the way, I like what you ve done with the place. You drink ice ale? I thought you didn t like alcohol. I ve acquired a taste for it. And I like being drunk and not having to take responsibility for my actions. That s always a plus... From the WATI Entertainment System to the Watilla - and beyond - WATIcorp has provided mankind with love, happiness, and billions of hours of entertainment. Without WATIcorp, this would be just another dreary industrial town. I wonder what Project Alchera is all about. I hope it s some sort of sex robot. I ve been waiting for an excuse to dump my wife. Not that there s anything wrong with WATIcorp, but I want to work in a more...serious minded corporation. Robot toys and entertainment consoles are all very well and good, but they won t exactly change the world, will they? Oh... Hello, Zoë. Hey, you re good as new. How do you feel? I feel the same as always. Why? It was destined to be the biggest thing in history, and it was supposed to go on the market in a few months from now. We figured that, sooner or later, the Static would be traced back to WATIcorp, and then we d be out of a job. Besides, it was getting serious. People were dying. We discovered the truth behind Project Alchera, behind DreamNet, behind the Dreamers. WATIcorp can extract private and personal information about anyone who s ever been connected to a Dreamer. And now someone s hacking into it. It s too dangerous. You could get caught. Or worse. If you knew what I ve been through these past few days, you wouldn t say that. Whatever it is you need me to do, I ll do it. Are you sure? Damien...we don t have a choice. This is what Reza was doing. He was taking a stand. He was risking his life to expose WATIcorp. I can t run away from this one. I have to do this. For Reza...for everyone. For myself. I have to stay here. This is the only place I can access the system from. You, on the other hand... Just tell me what we re doing. I m ready. You re going on a long hike into the WATI caves... From the time I open this door, you have thirty minutes to make it down to minus fifty-eight. That shouldn t be too hard. At least you don t have to go up. Yet. I m fit. You definitely look it. Okay, one moment. Got disguise Don t got disguise Sounds insane, I know, but it s been a crazy day, and we gotta check. So nothing? Sorry. I ve been at my console all day, and I haven t seen anyone. All right. Thanks, Mr Cavanaugh. You have a good evening now. I m sorry to disturb you, sir, but have you seen anyone on this floor in the last hour or so? Shit, someone s coming. You need to hide, quickly! Sounds like you ve really thought this one through. Okay, if you re sure― That was close. Do you have any idea what he was talking about? Unfortunately...yes. I m not proud of what I did, but it s not like I had much choice. Jesus. I guess you do know how to take care of yourself. And it sounds like you ve thought this one through. Okay, if you re sure― Well, you ve definitely arrived in the nick of time. If we re doing this, we have to do it now. Are you serious? Surprise attack Someone in administration got knocked out by a young woman. Looks like she made her way into the building through the museum. Yeah. Chief of security s furious. It s been a crazy day, I tell you. So nothing? A woman from administration was knocked out cold by someone. She didn t see who did it, but she got a nasty bruise. It s been a crazy day. Maybe she just slipped and fell, but we gotta check. So nothing? I m sure. All right, so in order to get into the Dreamcore itself, you need to find a way into the offices surrounding the core room. They ll be preoccupied, however, so you should be able to sneak past them. If they spot you, they ll trigger the alarm, and you ll be fried. Literally. We need to get the worm into the Dreamcore. Once that s done, I can start pulling information from the core to my console. I ll cut the alarm to the fire exit at the agreed time, so be there. If anything should go wrong, you ll need to find another way out...on your own. And you re with me. We ll head the other way and regroup on the other side. Halt! Hey, what the hell are you doing here? Stop! Five, four, three, two, one. After several unfortunate casualties - of which WATIcorp has been completely absolved - a smaller and lighter version was put into production. The BunnyBot has remained one of WATIcorp s most popular toybots, and it s still being sold to happy children and concerned adults across the world today. Designed by Dr Alvin Peats himself and released in 2104, it became an immediate best-seller. This particular design lasted for almost twenty years. RoBoy is known for his winning personality, his helpful attitude, and his dogged persistence. He is also known for being the first robot with ADHD. BunnyBot Mark I is risen! It might be able to carry me down to the street...but it d be a real leap of faith. It s a long way down... Looks like a broomstick. Far He must be very important to you. Reza, I mean. And he was just...evil. Sad, pathetic, and hateful. He claimed that we were stealing his senses. I think he was actually afraid of me. From what you told me earlier, it sounds like he s completely dependent on the Wire. The Static must be scaring the hell out of him. If he needs the Wire to see and hear, he s completely lost without it. I just don t feel safe anymore. He knew who I was, he s been inside Reza s dreams. He has spies everywhere, cameras, bots... Don t worry, Zoë. He won t find you here, I promise. I ll check around tomorrow, see if I can dig up any information on Peats. They won t be able to do that once they start testing again, however. And that s when I ll signal the worm to― Yeah, I am quite tired. I guess I should find a hotel and figure out what to do next. Thanks for the clothes, Damien. I ll― Um. That didn t come out right. You know what I mean. With any luck, I might be able to get some coordinates. To Arcadia ? I know you don t believe me. I don t even know if I believe it myself, but― It s not that I don t believe you, Zoë. It s just that I know how powerful the Dreamer is. It can make anything seem real. It wasn t a dream. I don t know what it was, but I was there. Somewhere else. Another world. And I need to go back. I didn t want to leave you, but I had no choice. I tried to wake you up, but you...you weren t responding. Zoë, you must leave. Right now. When they discover who planted the worm, they ll send someone to the apartment. You need to be gone. The good news is, before they caught it, the worm did collect enough data for me to get the coordinates we spoke about. I ve sent you the exact coordinates, along with a map. If I manage to get out of here, that s where I ll be heading. If you decide to go there - and I expect you will - be very careful. I ll try and contact you, but...I can t promise anything. The quickest way to St Petersburg is by scramjet. Oh, and there are some warm clothes in the bathroom closet. The intrusion into Dreamcore originated in Russia, just outside St Petersburg. Good luck. I ll...see you soon. I hope. Take care of yourself. You have one new message from... Anonymous. Hey, it s me. Who s this? It s me. Hello? Hi, Liv. Go, go, go! Clear! Get down on the floor! Get down! Don t move! We got one! You re a pretty girl. You look like my daughter. I don t know where she is. I hope she s doing okay... I ve been on Raptures for ten years. I m never getting off that shit. Especially now, there s nothing else to live for. I won t be around much longer. And I don t care. I just wish I could see my daughter again... Just once. You buy something now? Best prices! Guaranteed! Hey! You! Come here! Come buy best merchandise in Venice from the best merchant in Venice! Thanks. All right. Come again. Where s the Victory Hotel again? Over bridge, right, left, right, left. Thank you. I don t plan on staying. Well, you hurry and do what you need to do. Then get out. Quickly. Could you tell me where to find The Fringe again? Come out, come out, wherever you are. No reason. It s good to have you back. Thank you, Zoë. Hi. Hello. Hello, Zoë. Oh. Hello. Was that the only message from Reza you had for me? Message I wonder if Reza left any other messages for me The inn is closed. There ll be no drinking here today, I m afraid. You re interfering with official Azadi business. Move along. Is she asleep? I think she s dreaming now. I ll stay here and watch over her. Maybe when she wakes up, she ll want to play a game with me. What message, Zoë? The message you played earlier. The one from Reza. Don t you remember? No. I don t remember any message. That s weird... I ll talk to you later, Wonkers. Goodbye I should get going Okay, Zoë. I ll be here. See you later. I m sorry I haven t had time to play with you lately. I ve had so much on my mind. Game I feel bad about not having time to play with Wonkers It s okay. I can wait until you have less on your mind. I like having you home again. I missed you when you were gone. You mean when I was in Cape Town? You missed me? Every day. I used to sit in the window and watch for you all day and all night. You re breaking my heart, Wonkers. We need to find you a friend. But you re my friend, Zoë. You re the only friend I need. There s nothing on my schedule today, right? Schedule My schedule for the day should be empty Just the gym. Nothing else. I won t be going to the gym today. I have too much on my mind already. You re sure you don t remember the message you gave me? The one about Reza s notebook? No, Zoë. I don t remember any message. I m sorry. Strange. (Hums) Welcome home, Zoë. I m happy to see you, Zoë. I told you to not touch the exhibits! Why do you persist in torturing me? That s it! I ve had it with you. I m calling security. Come on! Come to Wazza! Shouldn t take long. Ah, yeah. She ll be right. I ll just go have a...sit down. In the meantime, like. You re leaving, one way or the other! Christ, you kick like a bloody mule! Don t be gettin aggro, now. That s what you get, trying to pull a fast one on Wazza! Serves you right for being a bloody nuisance... The rooms are upstairs. What are you still doin here, the rooms are... Wait a minute. You played a trick on me! You re not here for the rooms! How are we doing? Just fine. This ship s a real beauty. She basically flies herself. She just needs a tiny nudge now and again, but other than that... Call me Brian. Please. Brian. When did you come to Arcadia? What? And you re how old exactly? Not a pleasant experience by any measure of things. But I got out, and I made a life for myself in Marcuria. I m never going back...to Stark. And I m fine with that. I ve made peace with my past. Arcadia s my home now. That wasn t the best idea I ever had, but still, here I am, in good health and with all my limbs intact. I shouldn t complain. Still feeling restless, Ms Castillo? Sort of. I guess that s understandable, being cooped up like this. I dunno, I started freaking out. So I went on a journey of inner discovery. It s a douche for the soul. Read, eat, read, sleep, read, go to the bathroom and read at the same time... It s really very, very dull. And she was a real trooper. Saved the world and all. You don t see a lot of people doing that these days. Fortunately, she decided to take it out on the Azadi. I tried looking for her, but after a while I gave up. I got the distinct feeling she didn t want me around anyway. So I left to begin a new life. So, hey, if we hit April with a really big frying pan, she ll come to her senses, right? Zoë? Dreamtime. But WATIcorp had other plans. How can I help Faith? She s already dead, isn t she? Yes. And no. I can t explain it, but you ve seen it for yourself, Zoë. She s in the networks, in DreamNet, on the Wire... Whether it s her, her memories, her soul ...I don t know. It s not for me to theorise. The fact is that a part of her is inside the networks, inside Dreamcore. And she s suffering. But you can help her, Zoë. If that s not accountability, I don t know what is. She died while she was inside DreamNet, dreaming a very, very powerful dream. Maybe she s still in that dream, and that s what s spreading across the Wire. Whatever the answer, it doesn t matter. The fact is that Faith is in there somehow, inside DreamNet, inside Eingana, and she needs to leave. You really are a very beautiful girl, so like your father. I never thought I d see you again. And I wish it didn t have to end like this. She is. You should. Maybe... I would like that very much. Cha...Chavez... No unknown or illegal biological or artificial entities detected. Subject is cleared for entry into core room. The core is under lockdown. Please proceed to the nearest elevator to vacate the premises. Lockdown is in effect. All non-essential personnel must vacate the core immediately. Please proceed to the nearest elevator. The core room is entering lockdown. Please step away from all entrances. This is your final warning. All non-essential personnel must proceed to the nearest elevator, and report to their assigned security station immediately. Great. That might come in handy. Excuse me, who are you? Do you live here? I just wish the other residents wouldn t let their guests just wander around the building. I don t know you, do I? If you re trying to sell me something, I m definitely not interested. I m trying to put together enough money to move out of this building. There are some great condos up on Jardin des Roses. It s not that the building is bad...it s just not a very nice place to live. Too much noise, and too many strange people. I know that this is supposed to be a really upscale neighbourhood, but I m just not feeling it. Jardin des Roses must be the nicest street in the city. Great view, great people, great neighbourhood. I love it! Did you know that Jardin des Roses was constructed during phase four of the Casablancan terrain reconstruction? I know everything there is to know about this street. I guess you could call me a Jardin des Roses geek - or a Jardeek , as I like to call it. Stop bothering me. Leave me alone. Jesus Christ, what s your problem? I m always on the run. I always got stuff to do. Like right now, there s stuff I should be doing. Gotta run. Some of us got stuff that needs doing, you know. I have to admit that I get kinda psyched out when strangers just come up and start talking to me in the middle of the street. Don t you find it sort of strange that I m talking to you, even though you haven t said a word to me? You know, this whole thing is starting to seriously psyche me out. I m leaving. I couldn t care less about the Static. It just shows that we should learn to live without technology and the Wire. Also, eating meat is cannibalism. I believe that the animals are our brothers and sisters, and eating cow is like eating...your sister. Or brother. Why not eat humans instead? It s just as bad. If we all start eating tofu and seaweed, the world will be a better place. And I hope the Static kills the Wire. Then we ll all be free and happy. Zoë Castillo, right? Friend of Carlita s? I see you at the coffee shop all the time. We should all hang out some time. The next time I see you at Moca Loco, I ll buy you a latte. Deal? See you around, Zoë! Hmm, I should be watching my weight. My wife s started complaining. What do you think is going to happen? I m very concerned. The Static scares me. I m never leaving Casablanca...not unless I find something better. What s up? Why so gloomy? It s a beautiful day! Life can t possibly get any better than this!

Okay, so I m up to my neck in debt...but so what? I m sure I ll win the lottery soon. It s just a matter of time. My God, I m going to crash and burn soon. I just know it. I m going to crash and burn... Have you heard about this Project Alchera that WATIcorp s coming out with this spring? Do you know what it is? I collect Watillas. I have eighteen of them. I m so excited about Project Alchera! I think it s going to be amazing...and I m buying at least five! WATIcorp is the best corporation in the world. I m planning on applying for a job there, and moving to Wati City in Japan. I ve always enjoyed coming to the Journeyman for a drink and a chat with my friends or with Benrime. Benrime makes the best mulled wine and roast gipa in town. It s too bad that fewer and fewer people come here now that the traffic s being heavily regulated, and moved to the west and to the north. The Journeyman used to be popular with non-humans, but now that they ve been moved to the ghetto, you don t see a lot of them around. I like to eat my dinners here, whenever I can. It beats going home to my parents and grandparents to eat soup and bread. The best thing about the Journeyman is that there are no Azadi here, ever. Benrime Salmin is a...tough woman. You don t want to get on her bad side. I m actually afraid of coming here. I haven t seen you here before. Are you new to the city? This is definitely a good place to come if you don t like crowds. I hope you decide to come back here. This really is the nicest and friendliest tavern in Marcuria. I used to frequent the Puss and the Cock, but after the Azadi moved traffic away from the South Gate, they had to close the tavern down. I need to find a new tavern, preferably somewhere north of the tower. I prefer that side of town. I know I m not supposed to say it, but...I hate this tower. It doesn t belong in our city. It s an abomination. There. That s all I have to say. The Azadi levelled this entire neighbourhood to the ground to build their tower. They blame the Tyren, but I know they set some of those fires themselves. I don t like the Azadi much, and I m not afraid to say so. That s not a crime, is it? What do you want? I m busy. I have important Azadi customers to report to! To Zoë/April Nice weather we re having, isn t it? Cold and crisp, like the winters of old. My business is doing great, and now we re opening up for export to Sadir as well. A bigger market is better for everyone. I m a busy man, and I can t waste my time on idle conversation! Pardon me. Sorry, sir. Execuse me, sir. Marcuria looks so beautiful in wintertime. I wouldn t want to be anywhere else, even though it s freezing cold. I like walking around town on days like these. It s so nice to just look at the buildings and all the people. The South Gate was where all the business from the harbour came through. Nowadays, that s over by the new harbour, by the West Gate. I m here to pick up some necessities. I know there are much better markets in town, but I live up Crab Bend, and this is convenient. I miss the old market. It was always so lively, and you could buy pretty much anything you needed here. The best thing about the South Gate Market was the performers. I liked the jugglers and the fortune tellers...and also those half-naked Southlander dancers... Not a lot of people live in Crab Bend anymore, but rent s cheap, and it s safe. It may not be pretty, but it s safe. Granted, Friar s Keep looks a bit scary, and Crab Bend doesn t have the best reputation, but it s really not a bad place to live. Why did they have to close down both The Cock and the Puss and The Salty Seaman? Those were my two favourite bars in Marcuria! Most of my shipmates are over on the west side of town, but I like it here. I liked it more before, but if you know where to go, South Gate still has its benefits. I m in from Ge en. My ship s only staying a few days, so I m trying to get the most out of my visit. There are a few ladies I d like to visit tonight... My father and I are visiting Marcuria for the day. We live up north, in the farmlands west of the forest. It s not often that I get to see the city. There are so many soldiers here! They re very impressive...and handsome. Up north, people are skeptical to the Azadi, but they seem so nice and friendly. We re going back to the farm tomorrow morning. There s a lot of snow up there, so it ll take us the whole day to get home. Don t think it ends with this. I must go to the prayer room. Interact Olivia imports mobiles from manufacturers and distributors in other African markets, and resells them here in Casablanca at a heavy mark-up. My preferred mode of transportation. These subterranean streets connect all the buildings in downtown Casablanca, and the freeway is just underneath us. Classy. Real classy. Science periodicals. I used to be into that, but...not anymore. Goodbye. I don t plan on staying long. One of those creatures, uh, sang to the door...and it opened up. Magic. You gotta love it. After Grubber Maybe those creatures only live down here in the caves. If it is a door, I have no idea how to open it. Use before Grubber That creature didn t touch the door. It just opened as if by...magic. So, magic then. Always with the magic. Use after Grubber Nothing. I don t think I ll be able to guess the pattern. I need more to go on. These creatures must live down here all by themselves. I can t just guess. I need more to go on. I need to see one of those creatures using the pad. You re trespassing. Is there anything you want to tell us? Then why― When we last met, mistress... Your words awoke something inside of me... I have never questioned my mission, or my faith. To do so would be to question my entire existence. If that is so, it s my duty to help undo the damage. It may, quite simply, have been...misplaced. But the fact is, you re an enemy assassin, you re in our city, and you didn t come here to talk to me. And still, now that we meet again, I m reminded of the parting words of an old friend - words dismissed too quickly - and I find myself...torn. It s not a question of agreeing or disagreeing. It s a question of facts. You invaded our lands. You imposed yourselves on us. We delivered you from a brutal and deadly enemy. We liberated your city. We fed your hungry and housed your homeless. We made your lands safe again. Without us, you would not be here. Without us, your people would be scattered, broken, dead. Your cities would be in ruins, and your temples burned to the ground. Tell me, mistress, how have we wronged you? How have we imposed on you with our charity and good will? We have only done what we know to be right. We wish only for you to walk in the light of our Goddess, to hear Her Word, and to know Her love. Your...honesty is refreshing, mistress, though I do not agree with your views. It won t work. In the end, people won t stand for it. If you hadn t come to our lands, we might still be homeless, hunted, hungry...but we d be free. It s a machine of some sort. It s enormous. From afar Each of those signs or runes play a musical note. After touching I knew I could jump it. Examine from other side I need to...I need to wake up. Or get out of here. I need to do something. Anything. I definitely wouldn t want to piss it off. Those monsters must be guarding something important. Come to think of it, that can t be just a coincidence. It rises up into the darkness. Glowing crystals. So that s where all the light s coming from. They give out both light and heat. That s probably what makes these caverns so warm. It s daylight outside. Wherever that may be. I m not even sure I want to find out. A Bestiary of the Southlands . Why Magic Makes Malice . I think I ll stop looking. Those books are just gonna freak me out even more. Na ane. If I would trust anyone with my life, it would be Chawan. He s never let me down. And he s never going to abandon the fight. Brynn. Chawan. I don t know any of the people who come here anymore. I think that s probably Blind Bob. Examine beggar again That looks like the guy the spice merchant described, the one with the spices. Examine on mission That s probably the rudest and most unpleasant man I ve ever met. The steam machinery looks brand new. But what s it for? It doesn t look to be doing anything except make a lot of noise. The traffic appears to be backed up. No one s getting through. There are soldiers posted everywhere, but most of them are just kids. The Azadi have brought their steam technology to Marcuria, and now everyone s installing these noisy machines. Balance knows what these things actually do... They re enforcing the curfew in Oldtown. One day, Marcuria will be free of the Azadi. I can t believe they destroyed the Sentinel temple to build that abomination. That alone should have caused an uproar... But maybe people were getting fed up with the Sentinel. The tower is nearly finished. We need to keep the Azadi from completing it. My escort. It s an imposing edifice. But why was it built? What do the Six intend with it? It is not our custom to build such...extravagant structures. The tower is impressive, but it seems uncharacteristically big for an Azadi structure. I hope they all won t have to serve their six years in foreign and unfriendly lands. He would not be allowed to wear such clothes in Sadir. The camp is only temporary, until the new barracks beside the tower are completed. If I m not completely mistaken, this is the Emissary s office. I ve just hit the jackpot. It s the Emissary s office. The door is slightly ajar. If I do that, I m sure to be noticed. That must the Azadi Emissary. Sahya. I ve never seen her up close before. Who s she talking to? That s the Azadi Emissary. Who s that? The Emissary seems to be obeisant...almost afraid. But how can that be? The Azadi women consider men to be inferior, don t they? He must be very powerful if the Azadi Emissary defers to him. That was...strange. I should try and follow him, find out who this mysterious person is. I can t hear what they re talking about. I need to get closer. Unsuccessful It s a cage. That poor creature must have been terrified to be locked up like that. Examine after releasing pet The poor guy must be scared. I should get him out of there right away. He looks very familiar. A merchant. This Azadi technology is spreading like a weed. Soon, there will be machines attached to every building in Marcuria. People are so easily seduced by new inventions, they don t stop to ask if they really need it. I think the Azadi have brought their technology here so that people will come to depend on it...and thus depend on the Azadi. He s the only guard on duty. That gate is firmly locked at night. No one gets in...and absolutely no one gets out. Examine/use There s no one getting in or out of the ghetto. Examine/use again The taverns and bars down here by the South Gate had to close when traffic moved west of Oldtown. All the taverns down here lost most of their business when the Azadi moved the harbour west. Even at night, those things keep going. Seems people can t live without technology. I swear, Arcadia s turning into Stark. I don t know what these machines do - heat houses, flush toilets, generate power - but they re becoming ubiquitous. I know I recognise that guy from somewhere. Roper Klacks. Examine again after talking He s a Zhid. She s Dolmari. She s Zhid. I wonder what happened to the Banda I knew. They ve probably been killed by the Azadi... He s Dolmari. Why he even wants to stay here in Marcuria, I don t understand. If I were him, I d just leave, and never look back. They raid the market from time to time, but people are getting good at hiding their merchandise. Oldtown s still the best place to go shopping. They have absolutely everything here, and the prices are very reasonable. A Samare. They re so beautiful and graceful. He s got feline features. Aside from that whole blue thing, she looks human. I can deal with that. I don t know what she is, but I don t care. She s beautiful. I don t understand why they need to keep these people in a ghetto. It s really warm and cozy. This must be great for the people working here in such cold weather. The word wicked wizard keeps popping into my head. But I m sure he s just an honest merchant. Um. That was probably a really horrible thing to say about a person. What kind of creature is that? He s cu― I mean, he s very handsome. It s a blue man. I feel right at home now. It s Crow, the coolest talking bird I ve ever met. I m not even going to guess what all of this stuff is, but it sure smells great. Crow. And he s with a man. That must be Brian Westhouse. That s probably April s friend, Brian Westhouse. She s so beautiful. I ve never seen anyone like her before. I ve never seen these creatures up close before. They do not look as...strange as I have been told. The Goddess made humans. The magicals were born of the earth and the sea, and they are unclean and unworthy of Her light. I don t quite see how these creatures can be dangerous to us...but I must put my trust in what I have been taught. Blue flames. That is surely magic, and so it must only be practised by women trained in the black arts. I am always told of these filthy and dangerous magicals, and yet... No, I must not doubt what I have been taught. I am not a scholar. No! She is merely a magical, nothing more. She may possess beauty, but she is not human. She is an animal, and she does not walk in the light of the Goddess. I m not here to search for contraband merchandise, nor to make any purchases. As an animal, she is beautiful. As a person, she is an abomination in the eyes of the Goddess...or so I have been told. She s really exotic looking. I wish I could walk around Casablanca looking like that. I don t think I would mind being with a non-human. I saw him outside the Journeyman the other day. I like her clothes, too. She looks like a cool lady, magical or not. She s so graceful. I wish we had creatures like her back home. I don t know what drives the Zhid to stay here, with the Azadi persecuting them. I had a brief relationship with a Dolmari man. He was a...fierce lover. He doesn t look like he belongs here. If I was Dolmari, I d fight back, tooth and nail. I d never let anyone stick me in a ghetto. A Shadowship. One of the Dark People. He s a Shadowguide. If the Azadi are here in Oldtown, that s bad news for everyone. They re still loading the supplies. A Samare. The Captain. I hope the Captain can get the papers in order so that the ship can leave. I m getting a bit nervous...and he looks as relaxed as ever. Examine later I don t understand how he can look so relaxed. They should ve been on their way by now. Examine later again He s just a pathetic, whimpering magical. She is strangely attractive...despite being nothing but an animal. I don t know what he is, nor do I intend to find out. I do not work in magical affairs. If I had time, I would pull that man in for questioning. He should not be here. I don t know what her species is called, nor does it matter. She isn t human. That makes her unimportant. It is certainly a peculiar beast. I must go to this prison immediately, to question the witch they captured. No life is taken idly, but I am only doing what the Goddess has asked me to do. Uh-uh. I don t think so. That place looks like bad news. Knot very inviting. Get it? Yeah, uh, that cheered me up no end. Not the friendliest of neighbourhoods, is it? It looks a bit rickety, like it s going to fall to pieces at any moment. It doesn t look like anyone lives here anymore. That s really sweet. I feel all warm and tingly inside. Examine with pet That tower just feels bad. I m not kidding, it s like it radiates pain and darkness. It actually hurts to look at it. I don t like looking at that thing. It hurts my eyes. The dreaded doors to Friar s Keep. Solid stuff. They re magical, too. Completely unbreakable. It s a speaking tube. I ve got noose for you, my friend. God. I don t know what it is about death that makes me crack bad jokes. Sobering stuff. They keep them running even here in Crab Bend, where no one lives anymore. But for what purpose? All the shops and houses are locked and boarded up. There are no magicals left outside of Oldtown. Friar s Keep. It used to be every criminal s worst nightmare. Now the Azadi use it to hold suspected dissidents and terrorists before shipping them off to Sadir to stand trial. Friar s Keep, Marcuria s most secure prison. It s run by the Azadi now. Strong and secure. How brutal and uncivilised, compared with the swift justice of the blade. A man deserves to have his neck cut, not his throat strangled, no matter what crimes he may have committed. Azadi technology is the future...or so I am told. This place is deserted. What a dark and forbidding place. There is magic here, I can sense it. It burns inside my head. That dark thing reeks of magic, like a rotten fruit reeks of decay. It appears that someone lives here. How tragic, for a so-called civilised society to allow its citizens to be without permanent shelter. Crazy Clara s stuff. She must be out and about. Someone lives here. No doubt driven out of their home by the Azadi. You would never find anyone living under such horrible conditions back home. She could be anywhere. The first thing I need to do is find out which cell she s in. Zoë looks fine. I guess her brief stay at Friar s Keep didn t do any permanent damage. The warden. Those doors lead outside. He is here to assist the city watch with the prisoners. The warden appears to keep perfect records. The door s locked and bolted from the outside. There s someone in there. Examine occupied It s empty. Looks like most of them are. Examine empty again He s sleeping really heavily. I doubt he ll wake up even if I make a lot of noise. Examine sleeping heavy I ll need to find a way to get past that guard. The hatch only opens from the outside. The jailer left the hatch open. Examine open hatch We ll be able to get up to the window now. Examine far crate Kitchen stuff. It doesn t look very heavy. We can get up to the window now. Examine after pushed Even if I could climb that high, it s too narrow to squeeze through, and there s probably a deadly drop on the other side. There s no way out through there. There s a long drop down. If I tried to jump, I d probably break something...or everything. Examine near no rope The rope reaches all the way down to the ground. Examine near rope The Azadi are keeping tight reins here as well. Zoë seems all right. Mr Westhouse seems to be a good pilot. Not that I would know. Maybe we re way off course. Mr Westhouse. Brian. Crow s airsick. Go figure. Crow looks a bit worse for wear. Sky and ocean as far as the eye can see. It s really beautiful. Looks very complicated. The hold is back there. And the bed. There s a bed back there. I guess I should get some sleep before we get there. Sleep Go to sleep I m not that tired. I ll stay up a bit longer. Stay up I ll stay up a bit longer That s a heavy duty security door. The bartender. That room s occupied. I ve never seen so much junk gathered in one place...and all of it for sale. It s one thing for adults to be homeless, but for children... I can t imagine how horrible that must be. Looks like he s been living on the streets his whole life. That clock has ticked its last...tock. I know it is. I was the one who bought it. It s a security system that controls the building s cameras. Something s cooking over there. Examine far don t know it s pizza Pizza. It s not done yet. If I reprogram the timer, I can make the alarm go off almost immediately. Manipulate timer It should go off any second now. Examine manipulated timer The cooker has stopped. Examine timer expired Front door. It s securely locked. I need to look inside the closet. I think that s Charlie on that graph. It s unbreakable. Examine locked again That s the backyard door. It s locked. It s missing a window handle. Examine without handle It s a filthy towel. It s a very dirty sheet. It s an ancient radiator. I think that s room 201. I think someone lives in room 201. I won t be leaving that way. He looks completely out of it, but I should stilll stay out of his way, just in case. Examine walking He s watching the screen. Examine sitting not spoken What is that thing? They must be testing it on these people. That s probably what this place is for. It s not a hotel. It s a laboratory. I wonder what that thing does? No, I need to focus on finding Reza. Looks like she s sleeping. Sleeping again He looks like he s on drugs. Examine walking again He s sleeping. Heavily, by the sound of it. Examine sleeping He noticed me! Examine alert He hasn t noticed me. Yet. Examine walking not spoken I fooled him good. Examine spoken I d better hurry. He could wake up again at any moment. I don t think I hurt him. Badly. He s checking out his pizza. Examine checking out pizza It s a digital padlock. It looks pretty new. A padlock. The gate s locked with a chain and a padlock. That window leads into the hotel. There s blood on the door. It s just a container. It s positioned right underneath that window. Convenient. Examine under window I think I can push it even further. Examine pushed There s a metal bar on the side. It looks like it s connected to the wheel. There s a metal bar on the side. The front entrance to the Victory Hotel. These people look like they ve given up all hope. I don t think he even notices that I m standing right next to him. She s soaked through, poor girl. Strange to see something like that in the midst of all this garbage and decay. Isn t there a place where these people can sleep and eat? Life isn t fair. No one should have to live like this. He can t possibly be much older than twelve. I wish there was something I could do for these people. A vending machine filled with...chewing gum. Cable car. That s pretty original. It s the ticket reader for the cable car. People here look a lot happier than in Newport. There are lots of professionals in this city. It s a staff-only entrance. It probably leads into the main building...which is exactly where I need to be. It s a biometric scanner. It s a staff entrance into the other part of the building. The only way I m getting past that is if Olivia gives me a hand...not literally, of course. That would be so, so wrong. She doesn t know that I m standing right behind her. He s in so much trouble right now. I feel a bit guilty...but it was for a good cause. Examine after robot He s very shy. Maybe there s a way I can make friends with him? Cleaning bot. I feel terrible...but it s not like I had a choice. She ll be fine. I hope. Examine knocked out She s not carrying anything useful. Use knocked out It s a ventilation duct used by the bots to connect between different parts of the building. It won t budge. I ll need to wait until that bot comes back. Use closed This is my chance! I ll have to hurry. It must be a taxing job, guarding these, um, precious exhibits from the prying hands of tourists. He s not very happy right now. How can anyone be so fascinated by these exhibits? They re basically just ads for WATIcorp. I wouldn t want to get on her bad side. Examine angry That s so scary. No wonder they had to discontinue that model. That s probably Damien Cavanaugh. Security bird. That s the Dreamcore. It s huge. It looks like a living, breathing creature...and in a way, it is. It s like being close to an alien creature. Elevator. That s probably the only way out of here. Examine use Let s see... This controls the access to the decontamination chamber between the observation platform and the core itself. This panel opens the door to the decontamination chamber. It s locked for access. I m guessing the security here is top notch. Even Liv s software won t stand a chance. I can t access this. Even Liv s software wouldn t stand a chance against the security systems WATI employ. The console s locked. I m guessing this console s as protected as they get. If I touch that, the shit will definitely hit the fan. It s securely locked. The plan was to head back up that way...but I think the plan s changed. Examine alarm This console is locked, and the protection is probably airtight. Without Liv around, I wouldn t risk trying to access it. This console s locked tight. Those might be the capsules I m looking for. It s a remote controlled robot arm. This is the security office. That looks like the security office. That looks like the cybernetics office. That looks like the laboratory. That looks like the medlab. There. That should allow him to shut off the power to the office doors. There s something in that wall. Examine far undiscovered There s a sliding panel here, and it s marked...PS-A1. That s the one. Examine close undiscovered It s a panel marked PS-A1. Examine close undiscovered again It s open. I can access the closed circuit system now. He seems pretty wrapped up in his work. Unless I get too close, I should be able to sneak by him. She looks very preoccupied. If I keep quiet and out of sight, I should be able to get past her. Commandoes... Not again. That s a full body scanner. Who would be stupid enough to leave a datakey... ...in a jacket pocket. Yes. Idiots. It s a small biometric scanner. Put your specimen in a capsule, stick it in there, and it reads all the relevant biometric data. It s a small biometric scanner. That s a biometric scanner. Several lights are red now. I guess that means Damien s done his job. Examine hacked Spider. There are so many different trees in here. It s like a zoo for plants. This garden is really well taken care of. It s a...a man. He s submerged in a liquid and connected to machines. Who is he? Examine again before talking That man killed Reza. He will pay for it. Examine after talking Those wires and cables connect that man to those machines. Everything is so colourful. This is such a beautiful garden. What kind of bird is that? There are all kinds of birds in here. The water is teeming with fish. I think that s carp. There s so much life in here. This must be a closed system. Those things probably regulate the air. It does feel a lot fresher and cleaner in here than it did outside. Those things probably regulate the air in this place. I don t have much time, I need to make up my mind. It s a crazy idea, but...what if I used that bot to make an escape? The twins are right behind me! Examine unblocked That should hold them off for a few moments, but I don t have much time. Examine blocked They re trying to break the door down! Examine banging They re here! I see the city streets down there. It s not that far. Damien s been so kind, letting me stay here in his apartment. That s Damien s console. Hey, there s a...a message for me. It must be from Damien. Examine near message He s got some girl s picture as his screensaver. I never asked him who that is... Damien s console. I m not going to rummage through his private files. Use no message That thing s been on most of the day while I ve been staying here. Hey, it s therapy. I never thought I d say it, but I think I m getting sick of watching that thing. That s the bathroom through there. I don t need to go right now. Dressed like this? I think not. Open I need to find something a bit warmer to wear. Open again Where would I go? Open no message I don t think this has been cleaned in a while. Damien definitely needs a house bot. Damien orders in. He claims he s a great cook, but I m just not seeing it. It s grey out. Looks like it s cold still. Cold and grey. Damien? Waking up Uh, my head... Damien? Are you here? He promised me he d stay. That must be the Guardian. The Guardian. Examine close before talk The White Dragon said the portal will take us back to Marcuria - but I need to speak with the Guardian first. I wonder why the White Dragon told Crow that he s needed. Needed for what? I know that bottomless abyss. What a vibrant colour. It s...postcard pretty. What are those things? They must have something to do with the Balance. Everything here does. It s just too complicated with these hive mind things. One body, one person, that s what I say. He s one of the Dark People. What strange creatures. They look like some sort of spider. You know, I never realised it before, but these shadowships are actually seed pods from their massive trees. That s incredible.
