Fiery plays Zero parades for dead spies blind part 3: Who is the boss around here?

Last time we went outside to see big beautiful world. There we met a few weirdos. Each of them was even more strange than the last one. First one claimed that he had lived on the moon.When we met a person who did not have a courtesy to tell us his name. So we only learned the name game called him: Man with no heart. Lovely. This person seemed to know a lot about us. And we knew nothing about him. That was super annoying. Anyway this stranger claimed that he has some valuable information. But he was not generous enough to give it for free of course. Instead he wanted us to do him some favor first. He also suggested that we came to see him too soon. Then we met a crazy(?) doctor who believed that some kid named Marco is spying on him and is a drug addict. The doctor also threatened to kill himself. He asked us to bring him one of Marco's teeth. As proof that kid is not a spy? We failed to get the tooth. We got only some of Marco blood. This did not convince doctor to calm down. But we did learned that someone had sent Marco there...






This time we started by talking with the Boatman. He seemed to be more sensible than the crazy people we talked with last time. Sadly even his intellect was no match for his sarcasm. So we could get very little information out of him. He only claimed that his first and last name were the Boat Man. And that our partner Pseudopod had not met him. This was so helpful that I almost missed talking with crazy lunatics...






After that we spoke with a party shop vendor.She said that her dad and his friend believed in various conspiracies. And that her dad has gone missing.




Then we spoke with an older woman. She was nervous that some creep is watching everyone from some tower...So we reacted in completly calm and natural way- we showed the finger towards that direction there the creep was. Still we said to the old woman that we investigate that matter.















Then we spoke with a rare media vendor Petre. That chat also proved more or less decent. We asked him about the weird disk we found near our partner Pseudopod. Apparently that disk self deleted once someone listened to it for a first time. This vendor also told us that despite his claims of the opposite the boatman did speak with our partner Pseudopod. This vendor was suspiciously normal. His only quirk was that he was obsessed with rare music. Other than that he seemed to be almost sane. In a world full of crazy that seems even more dangerous.





After that met a few kids who were very realistic. They said that they don't need to go to school. So they were sitting in front of tv instead. We tried to swindle one of the kids of his toy sword but little bastard was not interested in money.















Then we went to comfront the Boatman again. This time we get him to confess that he did met with our partner Pseudopod. But in order to get any real info out of the boat man we had to reveal some of our cards as well- he pretended to be dumb and not know what we are talking about untill we told him our spy codename CASCADE. After that boatman revealed that our partner Pseudopod wanted to meat with a person who was the boss around here- Tempo del Sur also known as TAXMAN. Our character knew this Tempo del Sur in the past. They were even friends. The boatman also said that his boss has some teenage girl as his protege. We have not met her yet.












It turns out that Tempo del Sur wanted to meet us. And only us. It seems like he wanted our help with something very urgent and important. But before we could meet him the boss TAXMAN had gone missing. And the Boatman said that he had no clue where his boss is now. The problem is that boatman was not truthful before. Also this is a game about spies so I don't think that we can trust anyone.

STOPBoatman never to be trusted
He looks like he could be hiding something more.

The mystery just keeps getting deeper, and I have a feeling the Boatman still isn't telling the whole truth.
I don't trust him either.
Same here, I have a feeling he's hiding something important, so I am curious to see what he reveals next.
