Evan Redgrave?

Evan Redgrave?

You

Yes, and you are?

Stranger

Your friends sent us. They want you to help us deal a crushing blow to the bureaucracy.

You

Is this some kind of joke? What friends? What blow? What are you talking about?

Stranger

We've been watching you for a long time. Have you heard of The New Tomorrow?

Responses

Ask about The New Tomorrow

You

The New Tomorrow? Those people who fight the Great Leader?

Stranger

Oh yes, they want to paint us as murderers, terrorists and Leader-haters. But we’re fighting against oligarchy, bureaucracy and human rights violations!

You

Do we even have any oligarchs?

Stranger

See, we’re doing our job!

Ask about “the blow”

You

What “blow to the bureaucracy” are you talking about?

Stranger

We're going to blow up the new wing of the Ministry building!

When it opens, thousands of new bureaucrats will start working there, and we won't be able to get in the way of their work without harming people! We’re not animals, Evan, and we don't kill people for nothing. So we need to blow it up now, while it’s still empty!

Ask what they need

Stranger

We need you to meet our man in the Ministry to give him the microchip and password that activate the bomb.

Responses

Why me?

Stranger

Like I already said, we've been watching you. You have a strong personality, Evan, and you’re capable of taking real action. There’s so much you can change in the Ministry, Evan! Really change, you know? We need people like you!

Why should I do this?

Stranger

Do you like the uncontrolled growth of the bureaucratic apparatus and the simultaneous strengthening of its totalitarian functions?

You

Honestly, your plans aren’t so great either...

Stranger

But we can pay you well!

Responses

Agree to the offer

You

Wow! That's a lot! OK, I agree!

Stranger

The New Tomorrow gives money today and spares no expense for tomorrow! I'm glad that we came to an agreement. Here's the microchip. The password is “The sky is always blue over the statue of the Leader”. The man you need is Nicholas Page. He's a courier. Got it?

You

Got it.

Stranger

Don't fail us, Evan! The New Tomorrow depends on you!

Refuse the offer

You

I'm not going to blow anything up, no matter how much you pay me.

Stranger

Hard times require decisive action!

You

I don't care! Now get out of my home or I’ll call the police!
