As detective 382, you gave Slick specific instructions to arrest 606 and put the employee in this cell.

You find a woman with the label "607". The photo you find shows 606 as a man who most likely escaped by now with some kind of book.

That fucking red-coated idiot.

They did it so neatly too.Also, both of those captchas are amazing.

"Hey, miss," you say. "What happened?" For good measure, you threaten her as being double charged for the case.

You look closer at the photograph and the lady. How did Slick mistake this for that? Now that you think about it, should she really be in here?

She cautiously lifts up a hand and waves.

>>33572340
OH MA GERD! she just made a hidden communist signal! Quick! Taze her!


Now ask the indian/easterner/aboriginal/??? what happened

You wave back before you can catch yourself.

If you tazed everyone for waving at you, you'd have nothing left for Slick.

Yeah, what is he? You've worked together with 203 for some time now. In fact, you depend on each other for more reasons than one. Still, there's more pressing conservation topics at hand.

"Prisoner 203. What happened?"
"Uh. Some dudes came in and zapped the guards. Then they took the bell-bottom jeans and pressed a button. Then the robot came through the wall and started shooting them. I couldn't see what happened next due to the angle."

Not the bell-bottom jeans.

>>33572675
Release 607, she's clearly innocent.

Perhaps this is a weird time to remind yourself, but you're in cahoots with 203. Still, 606 escaping prison is a big thing, and you can incriminate that on him. And being a fascist and zapping two guards unconscious.

>>33573024
607's innocent, isn't she? Slick just pulled the wrong person by one digit. God, you hate these numbers.

You package the rest of the evidence and end up with a photo of fascist 606 and his... her? His her feminine shirt.

You give a thumbs up to 203 as you close his cell's shutter. Bull lovingly zaps your hair.

>>33573262
So that's done. Is there anything else we need to do today?

You're not really paid based on how much work you do, per say. You just kind of fabricate evidence against whoever Prelestny Fashion wants gone. In this case, they don't care too much. Communist infiltrators are all too common these days. Like you!

Long story short, you have a lot of free time.

It helps to try and think of what events will happen in the mid- to long-term, and see how the players react, as opposed to trying to create a setting and events based on their decisions.

>>33575527
I know it sounds dumb, but sudden PLOT and characters conveniently showing up even when it doesn't always make sense does a lot to keep things moving.
