Why did you become a detective?
NOTE:
What relationship do you have with Sin?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Sin: Sin
What have you been doing this morning?
NOTE:
How do you think we should handle Sin?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Sin: Sin
Have you ever murdered someone?
NOTE:
Have you killed Lia?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Lia: Lia
For Graff
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Graff: Graff
For Lia
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Lia: Lia
...so I gathered a few clues. I had suspicions of course but...
NOTE:
A detective gotta trust his clients a bare minimum, ya know? And this is when I realized that Sin...
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Sin: Sin
What a chatterbox you are.
NOTE:
The interrogation room?
NOTE:
Aren't you supposed to interrogate Sin first?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Sin: Sin
Uh-uh. In due time.
NOTE:
Man, those cuffs sure are tight!...
NOTE:
They aren't really necessary, ya know...
NOTE:
Don't be a child. This is the procedure.
NOTE:
Yeah... Procedures, schmedures...
NOTE:
Ya haven't changed a bit, huh? After all these years...
NOTE:
This is irrelevant to the case.
NOTE:
So... What am I guilty of?
NOTE:
We'll determine that.
NOTE:
I don't feel comfortable with this robot watching us. Why is it here, anyway?
NOTE:
To perform technical requirements such as recording and testing the equipment.
NOTE:
What's this contraption for?...
NOTE:
Enough with your procedure drivel! I have the right to know what this is!
NOTE:
Fine. That's a lie detector.
NOTE:
What?... I thought these weren't reliable enough to...
NOTE:
The engineers have made remarkable improvements.
NOTE:
False positives are now reduced to 0.02%, which was deemed an acceptable rate.
NOTE:
As such, this equipment has been recently approved by our Government.
NOTE:
A very precious asset.
NOTE:
Calibration in process... Subject needs to stay still.
NOTE:
A word of advice. You'd better not lie.
NOTE:
Or what?... That thing's gonna electroshock me?
NOTE:
Is this even legal?...
NOTE:
I could show you the description of the law but I'm not even sure you can read.
NOTE:
I've been to school... for a few years.
NOTE:
I will ask you ten questions.
NOTE:
For each one, you've got exactly ten seconds to reply.
NOTE:
It is highly recommended to give the first answer that comes to mind.
NOTE:
Our only aim is solving this case.
NOTE:
If the device detects a lie...
NOTE:
Lemme guess. Electro-shock?
NOTE:
Glad I don't have hair then. It would be such a mess!
NOTE:
Alright. First question.
NOTE:
Ya know my name, inspector.
NOTE:
I'm not inspector anymore. From now on, call me "commissioner Wes".
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Wes: Wes
Oh. Okay, inspect... err, commissioner.
NOTE:
This question is meant to provide cross checking for fine-tuning end results.
NOTE:
I still didn't hear your name.
NOTE:
Oh, erm... Yeah. It's Brok.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Brok: Brok
It's just Brok.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Brok: Brok
Subject now registered as Just Brok.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Brok: Brok
No, I meant...ugh. Forget it.
NOTE:
Your name?... It's Wes, of course.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Wes: Wes
I didn't ask you my name!
NOTE:
I know this is difficult for your below-average reptile brain but you need to focus!
NOTE:
Hey! I was joking! No need for the insults.
NOTE:
...I was expecting to get electroshocked here.
NOTE:
You're not the only one. Any explanation?
NOTE:
The subject may actually have the secret desire to be called Hotdog.
NOTE:
This reveals a lot about ourselves. Keep doing it.
NOTE:
Don't take all your time to answer!
NOTE:
Hey, I need more time!
NOTE:
Come on! It's not that difficult!
NOTE:
No pressure, uh? It's not like I had a torture device on my head!
NOTE:
Argh... My brain is melting.
NOTE:
What's left of it, anyway.
NOTE:
You can't be serious.
NOTE:
The subject has a 54.6% probability to want to commit suicide, 40.4% to enjoy pain, and 5% for both.
NOTE:
It's obvious. Private detective.
NOTE:
If I remember correctly, you used to be a boxer.
NOTE:
I ended my boxing career. Right after the fighting pits were closed.
NOTE:
They got replaced by virtual arenas.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Virtual arena: Sanal arena
Give it a try! You could make a lot of money.
NOTE:
I wouldn't dare to participate... They're illegal.
NOTE:
The subject seems nervous. Sweat has increased by 50%.
NOTE:
Should we add a new question to the queue?
NOTE:
That won't be necessary.
NOTE:
I do plumbing, sewing and sometimes even cooking!
NOTE:
See? I'm telling the truth!
NOTE:
No surprise there. You put your best competences into practice.
NOTE:
This declaration makes no sense.
NOTE:
All these tasks can be performed by bots with a lot more efficiency than humans.
NOTE:
We Slumers would never let our jobs in the hands of petty tin cans!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slumers: Gecekonducular
📖 Lexicon word for Slumer: Gecekonducu
And you can't afford bots.
NOTE:
Your population is declining at a steady rate. Soon you won't have a choice...
NOTE:
The strongest survives. That's how it's always been.
NOTE:
I'm a dancer! Sometimes I give lessons...
NOTE:
It is physically impossible for the subject to be a good dancer due to his proportions.
NOTE:
I said I dance... Not that I'm good at it.
NOTE:
Stop wasting our time. The more you do, the longer you'll be held.
NOTE:
You're just being jealous!
NOTE:
We're still waiting for a reply.
NOTE:
Alright, alright. I'm a private detective. Happy?
NOTE:
Why did you become a detective?
NOTE:
I'm doin' it for Graff.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Graff: Graff
Graff...
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Graff: Graff
I assume this is your son.
NOTE:
No... He's Lia's.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Lia: Lia
In her testament, she asked me to...
NOTE:
Hey. I thought you'd remember?
NOTE:
After all, you were in charge of the case five years ago...
NOTE:
My memory isn't a database, you know.
NOTE:
The chief means he's getting old and can't be as efficient as he used to.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Chief: Reis
I guess. Lately I've been losing my memory too.
NOTE:
I needed to make a livin', for both of us.
NOTE:
The police ain't helping us so I figured a lot of Slumers could use my assistance...
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slumers: Gecekonducular
📖 Lexicon word for Slumer: Gecekonducu
After Lia's death...
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Lia: Lia
I... I couldn't get over it.
NOTE:
Of course. I was in charge of this case.
NOTE:
I figured... If I become a detective... I'll get a chance to find the culprit.
NOTE:
Someone... has to pay.
NOTE:
So this is revenge.
NOTE:
I'm not sure. Much has happened since then.
NOTE:
But you never found any clue.
NOTE:
No... I hardly have time to focus on that now.
NOTE:
But I'm not giving up hope.
NOTE:
Hope is a hard concept to grasp. It doesn't rely on any factual data.
NOTE:
Hence why you'll never be more than metal scraps on feet.
NOTE:
I can sense hostility coming from this subject.
NOTE:
What else? For the money, of course!
NOTE:
You wouldn't believe how much people are ready to spend for putting out the trash or fixing their toilets!
NOTE:
Trying to impress us? What a failure.
NOTE:
I'm not like that...! I-I can't understand...
NOTE:
I believe you. The lie detector must have fried a good portion of your brain.
NOTE:
The truth is, I can barely make ends meet.
NOTE:
Sure, I get jobs... but from lads even poorer than myself.
NOTE:
Most of the time, I can't bear asking them for a retribution.
NOTE:
Working for free?... How charitable and altruistic.
NOTE:
I'd cry if I could.
NOTE:
Shut up. Ya have no idea what living...
NOTE:
What relationship do you have with Sin?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Sin: Sin
A good guy. I'd call him a friend now.
NOTE:
Okay, okay. That's true. I hate him.
NOTE:
Not only did I waste my time but he'll never pay me!
NOTE:
That's for certain.
NOTE:
Despite what happened... I feel bad for him.
NOTE:
He was ready to put his life in danger for his girl. Who wouldn't do the same in his place?
NOTE:
Uh? What do you mean?
NOTE:
Impressive. And you call yourself a detective!
NOTE:
You haven't imagined for one second... That what he told you...
NOTE:
Impossible. I know the guy...
NOTE:
...who you met that same morning.
NOTE:
Besides, I spotted a picture of his wife and girl.
NOTE:
This could be anyone. Something he printed from the Triweb.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Triweb: (Not translated)
I can tell lies from truth without a stinkin' machine.
NOTE:
Just like I can blindly trust some people... and should never, ever trust some others.
NOTE:
You're in the second category.
NOTE:
In our job, we don't trust feelings. We trust tangible, hard as rock facts.
NOTE:
Ya haven't changed one bit...
NOTE:
No different than this robot watching us, compiling data...
NOTE:
I'd rather be a lousy detective than a cold-as-ice flatfoot with no heart like you!
NOTE:
Can't you stop with your "uh-uhs"?! It's stressful beyond imagination!
NOTE:
He's... was... my client.
NOTE:
He was looking for somethin' he lost...
NOTE:
The gun. No need to explain.
NOTE:
The conversation between the subject and the suspect has been fully recorded as evidence number 2563.
NOTE:
So you know everything!
NOTE:
What's the point of this whole interrogation?!
NOTE:
I'm the one asking questions here. Focus.
NOTE:
Tell us how you met.
NOTE:
He tried to call me endlessly...
NOTE:
I believe he found me on the Triweb. I've seen his searches.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Triweb: (Not translated)
What d'ya think? I hate him!
NOTE:
B-But... He... attacked me! Almost killed me!
NOTE:
I know. A good fight.
NOTE:
You were there? Watching?!
NOTE:
We solve cases. We don't prevent little quarrels.
NOTE:
So you didn't mind if one of us got killed?!
NOTE:
The suspect was not threatening a first-class citizen. There was no reason to intervene.
NOTE:
One less prisoner means space for another. This is pure logic.
NOTE:
I can't believe this...
NOTE:
In any case, the protocols recommend the lethal use of our guns in such circumstances.
NOTE:
You should be thanking us for not intervening!
NOTE:
Oh yeah... I'm always so lucky.
NOTE:
What d'ya think? I hate him!
NOTE:
(Weird. I thought I'd get electrocuted here.)
NOTE:
Rightfully so. He attacked you after all.
NOTE:
What have you been doing this morning?
NOTE:
I went to Sin's home... Then to the sewers...
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Sin: Sin
Oh, and before that I crossed the border to check the alley and the pharmacy for clues...
NOTE:
Uh-uh. You crossed the border.
NOTE:
I used to be a Drumer, so...
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drumer: Kubbeli
You still have access?
NOTE:
This isn't acceptable. It should have been revoked long ago.
NOTE:
Should the main database be checked for this record?
NOTE:
You mentioned the sewers.
NOTE:
Erm... Yeah. The gun left tracks that lead me there.
NOTE:
Tell me about the Squealers.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Squealers: Squealer'lar
📖 Lexicon word for Squealer: Squealer
Their leader and a few of his minions wouldn't let me pass through, so...
NOTE:
Hey but... How do you know I met them?
NOTE:
A wild guess. They've been causing a lot of trouble lately.
NOTE:
You just confirmed our suspicions.
NOTE:
Yeah. You need to do somethin' about 'em!
NOTE:
They're acting like it's their territory and everything...
NOTE:
Record found. Revocation request...
NOTE:
There is no availability right now. A ticket has been reserved.
NOTE:
The process will be performed as soon as possible. Estimate...
NOTE:
58 hours and 35 minutes from now.
NOTE:
What a slow process.
NOTE:
Well, never mind. As long as it's done.
NOTE:
(Good. That leaves me some time.)
NOTE:
Sin reported losing his gun in Drumer Street.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Drumer: Kubbeli
📖 Lexicon word for Sin: Sin
I desperately needed to cross the border post...
NOTE:
So I entered that pyramid building and hacked the server to add my identity.
NOTE:
Man, that was tough! That place is literally a hive of lasers!
NOTE:
My friend Shay helped set this up. She's an expert at hacking servers, ya know!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Shay: Shay
Erm... That's embarassing.
NOTE:
Not only did you reveal commiting a crime...
NOTE:
But you've implicated your friend as well.
NOTE:
Agent X-598, please revoke his identity immediately.
NOTE:
As for your friend... We shall start an investigation on her as soon as possible.
NOTE:
Oh, great. She's gonna kill me!
NOTE:
Only if we won't do it first.
NOTE:
I'm starving! Can't we take a break?
NOTE:
B-But... I'm not lying... I'm really hungry!
NOTE:
It also detects attempts to avoid direct questions.
NOTE:
Couldn't you tell me beforehand?!
NOTE:
The algorithm suggests this question should be skipped.
NOTE:
Hey!... What about my snack?...
NOTE:
How do you think we should handle Sin?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Sin: Sin
It's obvious. Free him immediately!
NOTE:
Give him a second chance! He deserves it.
NOTE:
No, he doesn't. And you seem to agree with us.
NOTE:
I... thought I did...
NOTE:
So you believe in redemption.
NOTE:
You think a criminal can redeem himself and never repeat any wrong-doings again.
NOTE:
Ya're talkin' about Sin as if he murdered someone!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Sin: Sin
It was just a failed robbery!
NOTE:
And poisoning a police officer.
NOTE:
Nothing important, then.
NOTE:
I wouldn't say not important... But nobody's dead.
NOTE:
Besides... he won't do it again. I'm 100% sure of it.
NOTE:
Agent X-598. Please give your input on this.
NOTE:
There's a 95% probability of criminals committing a new crime within 10 years.
NOTE:
This is a well known statistic.
NOTE:
Therefore, we suggest the subject must be having some kind of brain malfunction for contradicting this.
NOTE:
Oh! So I'm crazy, uh?...
NOTE:
For what? Believing no one's perfect?
NOTE:
Do all citizens have to believe all the crap you say?
NOTE:
Tell me! What's the source of this blasted figure?
NOTE:
Even if it were true, there's still a 5% chance to never get in any trouble! And ten years is a very long time!
NOTE:
Calm down and focus.
NOTE:
We're not here to judge you.
NOTE:
For your information...
NOTE:
The device was up to 90%, close to shock-reacting when the subject replied.
NOTE:
Looks like even you don't really believe this is an appropriate solution.
NOTE:
Give him some time to think. That's what prisons are for, right?
NOTE:
I thought you'd be better aware of our system by now.
NOTE:
Prisons are only there for one reason. Give us time before passing judgement.
NOTE:
Incidentally, the Government is currently aiming to reduce judgement calculation time.
NOTE:
When this process is finalized, prisons will be deemed unnecessary.
NOTE:
There are only three possible outcomes.
NOTE:
Get freed, exiled, or...
NOTE:
We prefer the term "eliminated".
NOTE:
Wait a sec. A machine decides whether we live or die...?
NOTE:
I'm aware of the data thingamabobs to help with the investigation but...
NOTE:
What happened to "only a human can be judge?"
NOTE:
This point is still being debated inside the Government.
NOTE:
Which doesn't make sense. Machines don't commit mistakes. They're neutral.
NOTE:
Commissioner, we've got enough elements for this question.
NOTE:
What a world we live in...
NOTE:
So... Sin tried to rob valuable medicine, he poisoned a police officer...
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Sin: Sin
He brutally attacked me and if I didn't have fighting abilities, I'd probably be dead now!
NOTE:
What are you waiting for? Kill him!
NOTE:
You're actually OK with us terminating him.
NOTE:
Aren't you full of surprises.
NOTE:
I... was just joking...
NOTE:
You have no idea how many people "joke" during interrogations.
NOTE:
No. You don't believe this.
NOTE:
This is either extreme foolishness or a mental weakness.
NOTE:
I... thought this was the answer you expected from me...
NOTE:
We don't expect anything but the truth from you.
NOTE:
This feedback will be noted as a positive aspect of the subject.
NOTE:
Trying to solve inner conflicts by looking at facts only.
NOTE:
I just lied... That's all.
NOTE:
You won't change what I believe in.
NOTE:
Talking about that...
NOTE:
Have you ever murdered someone?
NOTE:
Yeah. Of course I've murdered someone!
NOTE:
No! I've never murdered anyone.
NOTE:
That's impossible! I'd never...
NOTE:
This morning, I terminated a tramp on my street.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Tramp: Tramp
He... asked me to do it. Incurable disease.
NOTE:
"Alright?" That's all?...
NOTE:
Tramps aren't considered valuable people. Quite the opposite, actually.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Tramp: Tramp
I bet you'd say that. But this was a good person.
NOTE:
I... couldn't kill someone in cold blood!
NOTE:
There's something wrong with your contraption! Ya gotta believe me!
NOTE:
Unless... You're considering bots.
NOTE:
You've killed bots?
NOTE:
They can't be killed. They're machines.
NOTE:
Let's be more specific.
NOTE:
Have you killed Lia?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Lia: Lia
Answer the question!
NOTE:
Sure! I killed her!
NOTE:
Then I cut her into a thousand pieces and swallowed 'em!
NOTE:
Never been so happy to get electroshocked...
NOTE:
I did not kill Lia!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Lia: Lia
The data is confirmed with a 99.998% probability.
NOTE:
See? Your stupid machine agrees with me!
NOTE:
What does this have to do with Sin?!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Sin: Sin
You can complain later. This interrogation isn't over.
NOTE:
Who did you really kill?
NOTE:
I've never killed anyone.
NOTE:
I don't quite understand your insistence.
NOTE:
Are ya tryin' to frame me for somethin'?!
NOTE:
Don't tell me I wouldn't remember if I ever killed someone!
NOTE:
Technically there's a slim possibility the subject cannot remember doing it.
NOTE:
This usually happens when suffering from psychotic issues like schizophrenia...
NOTE:
Shut up, you heap of junk! I'm not mad!
NOTE:
I've killed myself.
NOTE:
The subject is not making any sense.
NOTE:
I can confirm you're not dead...
NOTE:
But it seems you do want to die prematurely.
NOTE:
Where's your sense of humor?
NOTE:
Humor is a concept hard to grasp for us but it seems highly counter-productive...
NOTE:
Yeah yeah, I get the picture. You're no fun.
NOTE:
You did this to escape the question...
NOTE:
I... can't remember.
NOTE:
See? No electroshock. I told you!
NOTE:
Must be somethin' wrong with your machine.
NOTE:
We agree with the subject. The data of this interrogation is of contradictory nature.
NOTE:
Yeah... There's this robot I met recently.
NOTE:
After losing his job, he feared being reset and losing his memory...
NOTE:
There was so much suffering in his voice...
NOTE:
Destroyed him. Yeah.
NOTE:
As I said... It doesn't matter, right?
NOTE:
I mean, he was just a robot.
NOTE:
Yet you now consider a robot to be "someone".
NOTE:
Remember the question. "Who did you kill".
NOTE:
Well, maybe... But...
NOTE:
They're not humans. So...
NOTE:
This morning... There was this old man in my street.
NOTE:
I'm guessing he was a Slumer.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slumer: Gecekonducu
It doesn't matter, then.
NOTE:
Obviously... Police ain't supposed to protect us, right?
NOTE:
As a general rule, the population refered to as "Slumers" aren't paying contributions to the police department.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slumers: Gecekonducular
📖 Lexicon word for Slumer: Gecekonducu
Then why are your robots and drones wandering through our streets constantly?
NOTE:
Criminals need to be chased, wherever they are.
NOTE:
But we're not all..
NOTE:
This interrogation is over.
NOTE:
What's up with those last questions?!
NOTE:
They're totally irrelevant to Sin's case!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Sin: Sin
We do not disclose our work methods.
NOTE:
Ohhhh... I see what you're up to.
NOTE:
You're still blaming me for her death?
NOTE:
That case has been closed years ago. It was an accident.
NOTE:
Then why? Why are you bringing this up?
NOTE:
We didn't have this powerful hardware at our disposal back then.
NOTE:
I just needed to confirm some details.
NOTE:
What I believe is...
NOTE:
You'll have time to think about it in custody.
NOTE:
I thought you understood I had nothing to do with Sin's incident?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Sin: Sin
Maybe not, but you sure have your share of problems.
NOTE:
Anyway, the investigation AI needs time to examine your answers.
NOTE:
Investigation... AI?
NOTE:
You mean an artificial intelligence is gonna solve the case by itself?!
NOTE:
This is outrageous!...
NOTE:
Do not worry. You're not a suspect for these events.
NOTE:
There's not much to solve anyway. This case is crystal clear.
NOTE:
Is it?... Sin could have been framed.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Sin: Sin
Let our algorithms do their work. We will release you as soon as possible.
NOTE:
The sooner the better!
NOTE:
Agent X-598, please start the analysis.
NOTE:
And tell Agent Ray to come in.
NOTE:
Come over on this side.
NOTE:
That's a blind spot.
NOTE:
Listen. I hate this as much as you do.
NOTE:
Those AI reliability algorithms, figures and everything...
NOTE:
A bunch of crap. No robot should be making decisions in our place.
NOTE:
But the law is the law.
NOTE:
I'm the commissioner here. I need to follow orders.
NOTE:
You asked me, chief?
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Chief: Reis
Yes. Please take this man to a cell.
NOTE:
Hey!... You're a cat?...
NOTE:
Don't be foolish. Surely even you can see he's a Reptilian.
NOTE:
Yeah but I hate cats!
NOTE:
Allergic to cat fur. Yuck.
NOTE:
Screw up one more time and you're fired!
NOTE:
You've changed... Chief.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Chief: Reis
Never threatened me before...
NOTE:
My sensors indicate that the subject's vital functions turned off.
NOTE:
Giving us trouble up until the end, eh?
NOTE:
This incident shall not be made public.
NOTE:
Erase all evidence including the body. Nobody will look for a Slumer.
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Slumer: Gecekonducu
Yes, chief!
NOTE:
📖 Lexicon word for Chief: Reis
Human. Not authorized!
NOTE:
That barrier solidified as well!
NOTE:
It wasn't there two days ago. I guess they upped the security.
NOTE:
What is. Human doing here?!
NOTE:
Not coming back there!
NOTE:
That barrier wasn't there!...
NOTE:
Doesn't matter. Do your trick!
NOTE:
The deactivation doesn't last long!
NOTE:
Hey! Where are you going?!
NOTE:
