[…] : Dexler’s behind you, likely with her gun drawn, but without a clear shot. L’Ively has you pinned down.
– Assert confidence.
– Gauge his deamnor. Neutral
– Goad him into action
[…] : I believe you two had nothing to do with nor knowledge of this particular circle of hell. I’m at a loss at to what I should with you.
– Offer compassion.
– Negotiate. Neutral
– Say backup is coming.
[…] : You’d be toast unless you knocked him out immediately. One swing. It’s possible, and you might not get another chance…
– Attack L’Ively.
– Stay where you are. Neutral
[…] : Does that maker her better as a hostage who could best L’Ively? Or as someone who could escape captivity and help take him? You have to choose.
– You’ll be the hostage. Dexler stays behind.
– Dexler will be the hostage. You’ll stay behind.
– Refuse to choose. You let Dexler decide to be L’Ively’s hostage.
[…] : You’ve used up a lot of energy, and your stomach is growling. You consider making a meal out of L’Ively’s old junk food.
– Eat some old good. Neutral
– Nope, nope, nope.
Special Agent Jess Dexler
[…] : I land on my side, which my shoulder doesn’t exactly love. L’Ively closes the door to the old building and stands before me with a scowl.
– Kick him.
– “You’re not so tough.”
– “Where are we?” Neutral
[…] : I figure I have two options: I can find somewhere safe to hold up until backup arrives, or I can deal with L’Ively myself.
– Find safety. Neutral
– Go after L’Ively.
[…] : This changes things. It’s possible L’Ively wouldn’t hear me over the spraying. I could sneak up on him.
– Close in on him.
– Get out. Neutral
[…] : Still, it’s entirely possible that he might find me. I need to confront the reality of a potential face-off. In that case. I figure I’ll.
– …knock him out. Neutral
– …kill him.
Special agent Aaron Fulton.
[…] : He wants wants you to respond–so he can figure out where you are. But if you can start up a dialogue, it works both ways.
– Suggest his surrender. Neutral
– Ask about Dexler.
– Say nothing.
[…] : You gear a flurry of heavy steps in your direction. L’Ively’s coming for you. He’s between you and the door at the back.
– Rush L’Ively.
– Set up an ambush. Neutral
[…] : Dexler stands over L’Ively with a length of reba in her hand. You emerge from your hiding place.
– Congratulate her.
– Make sure she’s okay. Neutral
– Soothe your ego.
Scully : Are you two all right?
– Question their plans for lively.
– Reassure her. Neutral
– Chide them for lateness.
Dexler : I get that it wasn’t great. L’Ively trying to make you choose who became his hostage. Were you hesitating so I’d speak up?
– “Just a hard choice.” Neutral
– “I don’t know.”
– “Yes.”
You and Dexler took down L’Ively.
A.D Skinner : Dexler, you’ll have two weeks off to do the same. We have a trauma specialist you can see if you’d like.
– “I’d rather work.”
– “I’m fine.” Neutral
– “Yes, please.”
A.D Skinner : L’Ively doesn’t appear to be getting any healthier. They don’t expect him to last the week.
– “The body can’t fall into the wrong hands.” Neutral
– “Can nothing be done.”
– “Waste of money.”
Fulton : Well… this is a hell of a document. Guess Skinner’s on our side.
– “It feels good.”
– “It’s a huge risk for him.” Neutral
– “still can’t trust him.
Fulton : The gal open question right now is Pierce. I still don’t like him pulling the strings.
– “I don’t trust him either.” Neutral
– “You really don’t trust him.”
– “He helped us.”
Special Agent Aaron Fulton
[…] : You wait until Dexler’s done pouring her own beer; and then you raise your glass and toast to…
– …stopping L’Ively.
– …not getting fired. Neutral
– …L’Ively’s coming death.
Dexler : It’s a pale ale out of Michigan. Why?
– Applaud her choice. Neutral
– Shrug.
– Bad-mouth her beer pick.

Hay Guise : What I have for you is since and most perfect promise. I’m gonna deliver for you. I’m not gonna keep secrets. I’m in it to win it.
– “Start with your ID.”
– “Actions, not words.” Neutral
– “I’m done with you.”
I remind myself of the power players I know less about than I would like to : Senator Knudsen, AS Skinner, and Gregory Pierce.
– “Look into Knudsen.”
– “Look into Pierce.” You asked Hay Guise to dig up information on Pierce.
– “Look into Skinner.”
– “No thanks.
