Floyd | "In short, we have become a victim of our own success. The studies
Floyd | surrounding our uncontrolled grailkin have borne greater fruit than we
Floyd | could have ever expected, and as a result the project is undeniably
Floyd | compromised. The Priory of Sion, an old and mutual rival, has noticed
Floyd | this and already taken action. We need to stop them before their
Floyd | reports can filter up to their superiors. Fortunately, their locals are
Floyd | reasonably well concentrated, and our research has already been able to
Floyd | develop an effective countermeasure. However, they've captured Bian,
Floyd | and we need her to use it. You will need to find her and give her the
Floyd | materials she needs to cover her tracks."
Floyd |
Floyd | He looks across the gathered agents. "Any questions?"

Floyd | [1] Total bafflement
Floyd | [2] Vague comprehension

Fang says (to Floyd), "x me"
Floyd | [I need some kind of reaction from you to continue the scene. Enter a
Floyd | number, or say REPEAT to reacquaint yourself with your options.]

Fang says (to Floyd), "1"
Floyd | "Er, yes. Could we have that from the top, in English?"
Floyd |
Floyd | Chatarras looks at you. "Bian Tran, the woman you've been working for,
Floyd | is actually one of our agents." Wait, what? Chatarras continues as if
Floyd | this is of no importance whatsoever. "She's also got a very rare
Floyd | psychological ability that, until we found her, was the exclusive
Floyd | province of the Priory of Sion, an old rival of both the League and the
Floyd | Foundation. They've managed to capture her, and we need to get her out
Floyd | and use her talent to wipe out the evidence they've collected. I've
Floyd | left a fair amount of context out here, but I'll happily clarify
Floyd | anything you want details on. Ask about anything you'd like."

Gunther says (to Floyd), "say Dun dun dun"
Floyd | [dun -> run]
Floyd | Whom do you want to say that to?
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Fang says (to Floyd), "ask chatarras about that's a stupid name, man"
Floyd | You can't think of anything to say on that topic.

inky says (to Floyd), "ask chatarras about bian"
Floyd | "So, is Bian the only trainee you have here?"
Floyd |
Floyd | "We've been trying to keep her under wraps, so the idea was to keep her
Floyd | in a mundane environment."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
inky says (to Floyd), "ask chatarras about me"
Floyd | "I'm not really a badass secret agent. Why trust Bian's safety to me?"
Floyd |
Floyd | "We hear you're good at infiltration; both defeating security and not
Floyd | being noticed."
Floyd |
Floyd | "The SubGenii seem to have noticed me."
Floyd |
Floyd | "Actually, that's just that the Psychology Department doesn't like the
Floyd | CS Department."

Jearl says (to Floyd), "ask chatarras about grailkin"
Floyd | "What exactly are the 'grailkin' you mentioned?"
Floyd |
Floyd | Chatarras pauses. "The short answer is that they're people with Bian's
Floyd | talent for command. Do you really want the long answer?"
Floyd |
Floyd | Hal answers before you can. "Yes. I have a sinking suspicion about it,
Floyd | but I'd like to be proven wrong."
Floyd |
Floyd | "The name itself comes from an old claim that the pre-Charlemagne kings
Floyd | of France were direct descendants of Jesus Christ..."
Floyd |
Floyd | Janet interrupts. "Wait, wait. I've seen this movie."
Floyd |
Floyd | Hal sighs. "Yeah, this is what I was afraid of."
Floyd |
Floyd | Chatarras scowls. "The relevant part here is that the bloodline carries
Floyd | a talent for command. Until Bian, every member of the bloodline has
Floyd | been associated solely with the Priory of Sion, either voluntarily or
Floyd | by force. When anti-nobility sentiment swept France during the
Floyd | Revolution, the Priory fled with the grailkin to the colonies in French
Floyd | Indochina. Bian's family escaped their notice and control during the
Floyd | Vietnam war and came to America as refugees. That's where we found
Floyd | them."

schep says, "whoa whoa whoa"
Fang says (to Floyd), "ask chatarras about jesus"
Floyd | "Are the grailkin actually descendants of Jesus?"
Floyd |
Floyd | Hal glares at you. "Oh, for Christ's sake, Benj."
Floyd |
Floyd | Chatarras shrugs. "We've never particularly cared. The talent is real
Floyd | now, after all."
