qev200602_MSG0001 |
I have been waiting for you. I believe this is our first[ST:n ]time meeting, correct?[ST:wait ] |
| 2 |
|
qev200602_JNK0010 |
Agree |
| 3 |
|
qev200602_SEL0011 |
Confirm that you have never met before. |
| 4 |
|
qev200602_JNK0020 |
Disagree |
| 5 |
|
qev200602_SEL0021 |
Claim that you have met once before. |
| 6 |
|
qev200602_JNK0030 |
Strongly Disagree |
| 7 |
|
qev200602_SEL0031 |
Say that this is actually the THIRD time you have met. |
| 8 |
|
qev200602_MSG0002 |
Ha ha ha![ST:wait ] |
| 9 |
|
qev200602_MSG0003 |
You are very kind. Or perhaps just gullible.[ST:wait ] |
| 10 |
|
qev200602_MSG0004 |
...It's me! Yardley! Remember good ol' Yardley?[ST:wait ] |
| 11 |
|
qev200602_MSG0005 |
Huh? That's not what I expected you to say.[ST:wait ] |
| 12 |
|
qev200602_MSG0006 |
I thought you'd say this was our third meeting.[ST:n ]Maybe you lost your memory or something?[ST:wait ] |
| 13 |
|
qev200602_MSG0007 |
...It's me! Yardley! ...This is our third encounter?[ST:wait ] |
| 14 |
|
qev200602_MSG0008 |
Heh. Aren't you the smart one?[ST:wait ] |
| 15 |
|
qev200602_MSG0009 |
Well, I guess you know it's good ol' Yardley.[ST:wait ] |
| 16 |
|
qev200602_MSG0010 |
So I know you may have some doubts, but I promise it[ST:n ]was always me you've been meeting with.[ST:wait ] |
| 17 |
|
qev200602_MSG0011 |
I just...changed my appearance.[ST:wait ] |
| 18 |
|
qev200602_MSG0012 |
So you know that keycard you found for me?[ST:wait ] |
| 19 |
|
qev200602_MSG0013 |
Well, it activates the Lifepod I worked so desperately[ST:n ]to repair.[ST:wait ] |
| 20 |
|
qev200602_MSG0014 |
You see, we humans are basically just souls housed in[ST:n ]mimeosomes, which are little more than temporary[ST:n ]vessels.[ST:wait ] |
| 21 |
|
qev200602_MSG0015 |
But with this situation comes a kind of freedom:[ST:n ]The freedom to change vessels at will.[ST:wait ] |
| 22 |
|
qev200602_MSG0016 |
The Mimeosome Maintenance Center is full of Lifepods,[ST:n ]but they're all reserved for clinical applications.[ST:wait ] |
| 23 |
|
qev200602_MSG0017 |
Us normal yokels aren't allowed near 'em.[ST:wait ] |
| 24 |
|
qev200602_MSG0018 |
Which means that this is the only Lifepod where[ST:n ]people can rebuild their bodies to suit their whims.[ST:wait ] |
| 25 |
|
qev200602_MSG0019 |
I expect you have your doubts about the process,[ST:n ]but I stand as proof of the results.[ST:wait ] |
| 26 |
|
qev200602_MSG0020 |
My consciousness has been successfully transplanted[ST:n ]into an entirely new body.[ST:wait ] |
| 27 |
|
qev200602_JNK0040 |
Request |
| 28 |
|
qev200602_SEL0041 |
Ask to use Yardley's Lifepod. |
| 29 |
|
qev200602_JNK0050 |
Worry |
| 30 |
|
qev200602_SEL0051 |
Express concern that a criminal[ST:n ]might misuse such technology. |
| 31 |
|
qev200602_JNK0060 |
Praise |
| 32 |
|
qev200602_SEL0061 |
Compliment Yardley on his scheme. |
| 33 |
|
qev200602_MSG0021 |
Pshaw! Of course! Anyone can use it![ST:wait ] |
| 34 |
|
qev200602_MSG0022 |
They just have to pay a totally reasonable service fee.[ST:wait ] |
| 35 |
|
qev200602_MSG0023 |
Only 1,000,000 credits! ...Per use.[ST:wait ] |
| 36 |
|
qev200602_MSG0024 |
Oh, I wouldn't worry about that.[ST:wait ] |
| 37 |
|
qev200602_MSG0025 |
With my prices, it's safely out of the reach of petty[ST:n ]criminals and other riffraff.[ST:wait ] |
| 38 |
|
qev200602_MSG0026 |
Even a kingpin would think twice before rushing into[ST:n ]things. I charge a million credits a pop, after all![ST:wait ] |
| 39 |
|
qev200602_MSG0027 |
I was lucky to stumble onto a Lifepod with only minor[ST:n ]damage at the south end of the city.[ST:wait ] |
| 40 |
|
qev200602_MSG0028 |
And crossing your path was another stroke of luck,[ST:n ]seeing as how you've helped me out twice now.[ST:wait ] |
| 41 |
|
qev200602_MSG0029 |
And at the end of that string of serendipity is my[ST:n ]golden opportunity to strike it rich.[ST:wait ] |
| 42 |
|
qev200602_MSG0030 |
New LA's wealthiest will be clamoring to use my[ST:n ]machine![ST:wait ] |
| 43 |
|
qev200602_MSG0031 |
Oh, but you're welcome to use it for free whenever[ST:n ]you want.[ST:wait ] |
| 44 |
|
qev200602_MSG0032 |
Let's just say it's a way to settle up my outstanding[ST:n ]debts. So whaddya say? Interested?[ST:wait ] |
| 45 |
|
qev200602_JNK0070 |
Accept |
| 46 |
|
qev200602_SEL0071 |
Assure Yardley that you'll put it to good use. |
| 47 |
|
qev200602_JNK0080 |
Demand |
| 48 |
|
qev200602_SEL0081 |
Tell Yardley that you want to be paid in cash instead. |
| 49 |
|
qev200602_MSG0033 |
Wonderful![ST:wait ] |
| 50 |
|
qev200602_MSG0034 |
Then from this point on, we're square.[ST:wait ] |
| 51 |
|
qev200602_MSG0035 |
Um, were you not listening to what I said?[ST:wait ] |
| 52 |
|
qev200602_MSG0036 |
I am ABOUT to become massively wealthy.[ST:n ]At the moment, however, I am flat busted.[ST:wait ] |
| 53 |
|
qev200602_MSG0037 |
So do us both a favor and forget about money for a[ST:n ]moment. Seize this unique opportunity to discover a[ST:n ]new you![ST:wait ] |
| 54 |
|
qev200602_MSG0038 |
Besides, others have to pay a million bones a pop,[ST:n ]while you get unlimited access in perpetuity for free![ST:n ]It's a far greater value than some paltry cash payment.[ST:wait ] |
| 55 |
|
qev200602_MSG0039 |
Now just accept the offer and enjoy the Lifepod[ST:n ]already![ST:wait ] |
| 56 |
|
qev200602_MSG0040 |
...Phew.[ST:wait ] |
| 57 |
|
qev200602_MSG0041 |
I have only two stipulations for our agreement.[ST:wait ] |
| 58 |
|
qev200602_MSG0042 |
One is that you don't tell anybody about this.[ST:wait ] |
| 59 |
|
qev200602_MSG0043 |
I doubt the director general would be pleased to hear[ST:n ]about my little business model.[ST:wait ] |
| 60 |
|
qev200602_MSG0044 |
And two is that you only use the machine late at night,[ST:n ]while I'm around.[ST:wait ] |
| 61 |
|
qev200602_MSG0045 |
That should be a given, seeing as it won't activate[ST:n ]without my keycard, but just in case.[ST:wait ] |
| 62 |
|
qev200602_MSG0046 |
Are we agreed?[ST:wait ] |
| 63 |
|
qev200602_JNK0090 |
Accept |
| 64 |
|
qev200602_SEL0091 |
Promise to abide by Yardley's rules. |
| 65 |
|
qev200602_JNK0100 |
Refuse |
| 66 |
|
qev200602_SEL0101 |
Say that you refuse to make any promises. |
| 67 |
|
qev200602_MSG0047 |
Deal![ST:wait ] |
| 68 |
|
qev200602_MSG0048 |
I hope this leads to good things for the both of us.[ST:wait ] |
| 69 |
|
qev200602_MSG0049 |
Well, that's enough yakking, I think. If you want to[ST:n ]take the Lifepod for a spin, step right up.[ST:wait ] |
| 70 |
|
qev200602_MSG0050 |
Er, yeah. No. That's not... That doesn't work.[ST:wait ] |
| 71 |
|
qev200602_MSG0051 |
Okay, I admit that I cheated you out of a reward[ST:n ]before, but I'm being totally upfront and fair with you[ST:n ]right now.[ST:wait ] |
| 72 |
|
qev200602_MSG0052 |
Look, why not try the Lifepod for yourself right now?[ST:n ]One taste and you'll never go back![ST:wait ] |
| 73 |
|
qev200602_MSG0053 |
Now come on! Step up and embrace a new you![ST:wait ] |
