0,TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_SEQ_00,Detective Hardiboiled's veteran nose has picked up the scent of a new case.
1,TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_SEQ_01,"Inspector's Log:
To what far-flung shores have I found myself flung this time? Well, irregardless of inexplicable intergalactic travel (or rather more local jaunts), I, Hildibrand, agent of enquiry, inspector extraordinaire, have made my triumphant return! After emerging from a slumber of thirty some-odd years, I have made the acquaintance of a man purported to be my twin from another world─an assertion I am inclined to push back against, given the man's somewhat surly disposition. However, like yours truly, he appears possessed of a sincere desire to solve mysteries and redress the wrongs of the world, so for now, let us see if a partnership may yet be forged!
　　　　　　　　　　　　*　*　*
Detective Hardiboiled shares the details of the new mystery he stumbled across: an ominous tale of ghoulish experiments and suspiciously empty specimen cages. A researcher who survived the zombification of his peers has continued their work in secret, imbuing monsters with the souls of criminals marked for “rehabilitation.” Hoping to recover more data from the battered storage device he discovered, Hardiboiled invites you to his domicile in the recreation zone of Solution Nine. The Case of the Fiendish Fugitives has begun..."
2,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_SEQ_02","Although the device was more damaged than anticipated, Hardiboiled was able to piece together a partial file on one of the criminal subjects. It seems a habitual thief now inhabits the body of an eyeclops and, judging by past tendencies, is likely engaging in acts of larceny primarily to inconvenience and infuriate. The detective reasons that as electrope is Alexandria's most critical resource, then the quarry in Heritage Found would be too tempting a target to ignore. Perhaps someone at Electrope Strike knows something that could help with your investigation."
3,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_SEQ_03","A helpful quarry worker confirms that someone has indeed been stealing raw electrope shipments and happily agrees to provide bait to snare the thief. All appears to be proceeding to plan, but upon spotting you lurking with intent to ambush, the wary eyeclops flees before the trap can be sprung."
4,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_SEQ_04","Despite giving immediate chase, you lose the thief in a field dominated by towering eyeclopes. Eyeclopses. Eyeclopsi...? Detective Hardiboiled─firmly in the “eyeclopes” camp─suggests you split up and approach the brutes, noting that the criminal in question has a cowardly reputation. Find the one that does not attempt to squish you on sight, and you will have surely found your man-in-a-monster."
5,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_SEQ_05","You locate the thief masquerading as a wild eyeclops, but are once again left choking in the dust kicked up by his impressive escape velocity. Did Nashu see which way he went? Only one way to find out."
6,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_SEQ_06","Hardiboiled and Hildibrand corner the eyeclops thief. Following a tense standoff during which the detective and the inspector display their very different approaches to apprehending criminals, the eyeclops is convinced to surrender. He also volunteers what little information he knows of the researcher who not only transferred his soul into his monstrous body, but also coerced him into stealing the electrope. Satisfied that you have learned all there is to learn, Hardiboiled bids you wait for him at his place, then leaves to deliver the thief to the authorities."
7,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_SEQ_07","Back in Solution Nine, Hardiboiled muses over the researcher mastermind's possible motivations and the other monsters undoubtedly in his employ. These fugitive flunkies will be trying to avoid detection, possibly even operating outside the dome's confines. Admitting his unfamiliarity with the outside world, the detective asks for your continued assistance with the case─a request which Hildibrand is only too pleased to answer. Hardiboiled also alludes to a former nemesis known as the “Crime King,” who may very well have been part of the researcher's ersatz rehabilitation program. Eager to return to pulling data from the storage device, the hard-bitten gumshoe bids you drop in the next time you are in the neighborhood..."

50,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_OBLIVIONMEMBER05295_000_002","If you need to head back to Yuweyawata, just say the word."

52,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_HARDIBOILED_000_010","As I was saying, I got a whiff of a new case in the making, so listen up while I explain the particulars."
53,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_HARDIBOILED_000_011","You said you scoured this place top to bottom, and learned they were trying to stuff people's souls into monstrous hosts. But the facility was forced to close down before they managed any real success... Sound about right?"
54,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_HARDIBOILED_000_012","I'm guessing whatever incident turned the staff into walking corpses happened not long after."
55,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_HARDIBOILED_000_013","Here's where it gets interesting: according to the notes I found, one of the researchers survived, and continued to work independently even after the project was mothballed."
56,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_HARDIBOILED_000_014","Apparently he dismissed the tural vidraal as impossible to control and instead chose to pursue his research using less ornery beasts."
57,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_HILDIBRAND_000_015","Are you suggesting this mad scientist transferred his own soul into some slavering fiend!?"
58,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_HARDIBOILED_000_016","Nothing so mad as all that. No, he saved that honor for convicted criminals."
59,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_HARDIBOILED_000_017","Seems he set up a fake rehabilitation program, had the prisoners transferred, then yanked out their souls for use in his experiments."
60,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_NASHUMHAKARACCA_018","How awful! And what became of these now criminally minded creatures?"
61,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_HARDIBOILED_000_019","That's the million-credit question. I tracked down the containment cell mentioned in the notes, but found the cages inside emptier than a bar fly's tumbler."

64,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_HARDIBOILED_000_022","...Yes, there's a <Emphasis>chance</Emphasis> they're out there causing trouble. And as a detective, I can't turn a blind eye when I suspect wrongdoing is afoot."
65,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_HARDIBOILED_000_023","Luckily, I also found a storage device that I figure belonged to the author of those research notes. It's pretty banged up, but I think the data might still be intact."
66,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_HARDIBOILED_000_024","Let's head back to Solution Nine. I'll take this thing to my place in the recreation zone and see what I can recover."
67,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_HILDIBRAND_000_030","Illusion Shine is a most impressive metropolis!"
68,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_NASHUMHAKARACCA_031","Cor, I never noticed how far down it went!"
69,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_HARDIBOILED_000_040","Right, I'll take a crack at this storage device. You're better off waiting outside─I'm not the kind of guy who makes his bed every morning, to say the least."
70,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_HARDIBOILED_000_041","Well, the bad news is the device was in even worse shape than I expected. It'll be a while yet before I can recover all its contents."
71,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_HARDIBOILED_000_042","A quick pass netted me some scraps, though─enough to piece together a partial file on one of the experimental subjects. It states our surviving researcher stuck the soul of a career thief into the body of an eyeclops."
72,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_HARDIBOILED_000_043","This light-fingered fella didn't steal outta greed, but for the joy of pissing off his victims. Twisted guy like that ain't likely to change his stripes just 'cause he switched bodies..."

76,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_HARDIBOILED_000_047","Never seen an eyeclops before, have you? If one of those big brutes was lumbering through the streets, all we'd have to do is follow the screams."
77,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_HARDIBOILED_000_048","No, if he's plotting a heist, it'll involve a target outside Everkeep. And he won't be aiming to pilfer any old supply crate, neither, but something that'd really cause a nuisance..."
78,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_HARDIBOILED_000_049","Electrope. Alexandria's got a habit only that miraculous ore can satisfy. We need to hustle to the quarry outside, and I mean now."

84,"TEXT_CHRHDB922_05296_ELECTROPESTAFF05296_000_062","The strangest part is that our guards didn't see a damn thing. You'd need a hover cargo to move those heavy blocks, and surely someone would've noticed it coming and going..."
