Part 2

THe turbocycle flies toward a building. What building could it be...?

Junker HQ, that's what! If any of you are wondering just what the hell a Junker is, don't worry. We'll find out soon enough. Just know, they've got the coolest job ever. Also, make sure to invest in Sony since they'll be around in 2046. They're on Playstation 12, but sadly, they only made four of them so it's like impossible to get.

And so begins the game!

So far, we've got Mika, and we can "Enter, Look, or Investigate." We've got some spare time! Let's look!

That's a lot to look at. LOOK > OPERATOR.

LOOK > POSTER

LOOK > FRONT POD

LOOK > CAMERA

LOOK > DOOR

LOOK > AREA

Alright, enough LOOKing. Let's INVESTIGATE stuff! And I know where to start.

INVESTIGATE > MIKA

D'oh. INVESTIGATE > POSTER

Let's calm down there, Mika! (She does that if you wait too long.)

INVESTIGATE > FRONT POD

INVESTIGATE > CAMERA

INVESTIGATE > DOOR

INVESTIGATE > AREA

Alright, alright! UNfortunately, there's no talk option, so we'll try to ENTER.

Mika and I appear to be off to a rocky start, but trying to enter somehow unlocks...

The ability to talk!

Meeting Mika

Gillian: I'm Gillian Seed. I've been assigned to Junker Headquarters, effective today.
Mika: Oh, you're Mr. Seed. Please forgive me. My name is Mika Slayton, I'm the administrative assistant and operator here at Junker Headquarters. Very pleased to meet you.

Nice to meet you, Mika. Let's see if we can get into your pants.

LOOK > MIKA

Let's ogle her some more.

LOOK > MIKA

Think you've got game? Meet the man who wrote the rules: Junkermethod.com.

TALK > MIKA

Swing and a miss.

TALK > MIKA (again)

Alright, now we're getting somewhere!

ASK > ABOUT MIKA

Nice. This is going to turn into a dating sim in no time!

ASK > ABOUT MIKA

One more time.

ASK > ABOUT MIKA

Okay, okay. Now that we've violated all of Junker HQ's sexual harassment statutes, let's get down to business.

ASK > ABOUT JUNKERS

Mika: It's overseen by government intelligence agencies.

ASK > ABOUT NEO KOBE

ENTER

Entering Junker HQ

Mika: Mr. Seed?
Gillian: Gillian's fine. You can call me Gillian, Mika.
Mika: Okay... Gillian. I'll open the main doors and show you around headquarters.

Sadly, Mika will not let you do anything until we see the chief. So that's where we'll head first!

Let's meet the chief!

Mika: Chief Cunningham, Gillian Seed is here. I brought him in as you requested.
Chief: Thanks for coming, Seed. I'm Benson Cunningham, Chief of Junker operations.
Gillian: Gillian Seed. I've been transferred here from the 17th Special Forces Division.
Chief: I've heard all about your special training in the military, Seed. I hope you'll put it to good use on your new assignment here. By the way, I understand you're suffering from amnesia. Any sign yet that your memory is coming back?
Gillian: I'm afraid not - I still can't remember a thing from before the army picked me up three years ago.
Mika: You're married, aren't you?
Gillian: Yes, but we're seperated now. She has amnesia as well and without any memories between the two of us, I'm afraid there was very little to base a good relationship on.
Chief: I can see your point there!

I added that exclamation point because Cunningham's voice actor actually does sound a little excited for some reason. Sorry for not capping Cunningham just yet - I have to go meet some people downtown and am posting this from Starbucks.

Coming up next, we'll learn all about Junkers - who they are, what they do, and why they have no problems hitting on coworkers.

(Because they're that fucking awesome, that's why!)
