The Seeds of Death/Transcript

Amy Young (nervously): , you're here! We've got a new assignment!

Amy (angrily): Andrea wants us to go patrol the Rhine Canyon oil well. She says it's important for us to know all the facets of the district...

Amy (holding her hands up in disbelief): But on oil well? Come on! There are tons of places in Rhine Canyon nicer than a big old polluted oil well!

Amy (nervously): Sorry, , I should be more open-minded... Who knows what wonderful discoveries we might make at the oil well...

Later on, at the oil well...

Amy: Well this is... interesting, I guess. I mean.. Oil wells are certainly a big part of our economy and...

Amy (nauseated): Oh, I'm sorry, but this place is horrible! I've got oil on my shoes and the air is thick with pollution! It's turning the desert sand black!

Amy (disgusted): And I can see on your face that you're as uneasy as I am, am I wrong?

Amy (nervously): Oh, you're making that face because you've spotted something wrong? That doesn't sound good. Let's have a look around, quick!

Chapter 1
Investigate Drilling Site.

(Amy and the player find a vulture eating a man on a pipe.)

Amy Young (nauseated): Oh dear God, was this man attacked by vultures? They ate his eyes! I think I'm going to be sick again...

Amy (yelling): Go away, vulture! Shoo! Shoo!

(The vulture flies away.)

Amy (angrily): You're right, this poor man was tied to that pipe! Someone wanted to make sure he couldn't escape... which means there is a killer at large! , we need to catch them!

Amy (pumping her fist): And maybe that badge you found will help us do just that! Half of it has broken off, but I'm sure you'll be able to find that face in the database, !

Amy: And what about that toolbox? If you think a clue might be hidden inside, let's get digging!

Examine Damaged Badge.

(At the station...)

Amy: Hm, the man on that badge you found on the crime scene doesn't look like our victim, but he may still help us. His name is Jake Drill.

Amy (takes out her notepad): The badge says he's a drilling foreman on the oil well, which means he might have seen the murder... or even committed it!

Amy (puts away her notepad, grinning): I couldn't have said it better, : we need to go talk to this Jake Drill!

Ask Jake Drill if he knows anything about the murder.

Jake (winking and giving a "thumbs up" gesture): What can I do for you, ? You shouldn't walk around this place dressed like that, you might slip in an oil spill.

Amy: It's a risk we will have to take. In case you haven't noticed, a man was murdered here. Here's his picture; did you know him?

Jake (shocked): Is that Mr Green? What the... Why would anyone kill that guy?!

Amy (takes out her notepad): So you knew the victim. What can you tell us about him?

Jake: His name was Bruce Green. He's some kind of scientist, often came to have a look around, kept asking us about earth pollution, that kind of thing...

Jake (nervously): To be honest I never really understood what he was on about. He'd take some earth samples then go back to his fancy laboratory, a few miles south from here.

Amy: Do you know if anyone had anything against Mr Green? Did he bother the workers?

Jake: Nah, he never made trouble for himself. And Miss, we have more than enough work to do without wasting time killing people!

(After talking to Jake Drill)

Amy (optimistically): Mr Drill seemed nice enough! Very dirty, though... I mean that literally, of course!

Amy (saluting): Anyway, you're right, ! He mentioned our victim. He's a man named Bruce Green who worked in a nearby laboratory. We should definitely head there next!

Investigate Bio Lab.

Amy (in awe): Whoa, this lab is pretty impressive, don't you think, ? I wonder what the victim was working on...

Amy (pumping her fist): But of course. That's what you've been trying to figure out! This capsule looks like a solid lead! Is that what they call an incubator?

Amy (smiling, curiously): What's inside, is that a corn stalk? And it seems something was written on the incubator... Well I know you'll retrieve what was written in a flash!

Amy: And you also picked up... a torn photo? Alright, let's try and piece it together!

Examine Torn Picture.

Amy (inspired): That's some pretty impressive headgear! And that's Zuma Tlatoani, the Aztec tribe chief we met on our previous investigation together!

Amy: But who is that next to him...

Amy (confused): Wait, is that our victim? Why is he wearing an Aztec hat, ?

Amy (saluting optimistically): You're right, there's no time for conjecture. Let's go ask Zuma directly!

Ask Chief Tlatoani about the photo of him and the victim.

Zuma: It's nice to see you again,  . And your partner as well... I guess...

Amy (in disbelief): Are you being gruff because I refused to call you "Chief" last time we met? Come on, Mr Tlatoani, when murder is the topic of the day, courtesies are overrated.

Zuma (nervously): Murder? Does that mean you are here to talk about death once again,  ?

Amy (taking out her notepad): Yes. Bruce Green has been killed, and we've found evidence that you two were close. Did you give this headgear to him?

Zuma (sadly): Bruce is dead? I am sorry to hear of it. And yes, that headpiece was a gift from me.

Zuma: He came to me to learn more about the desert. I respected his interest in Mother Nature.

Amy:  's right, giving traditional Aztec headgear to an outsider looks like a deep mark of honor. Was there anything else at play here?

Zuma (holding his hands up in thanks): We were friends. It is not so often we meet people who are humble enough to ask for our wisdom...

Amy (in disbelief): I hope that last remark wasn't directed towards me, Mr Tlatoani. Anyway, I agree, , we're done here.

Examine Corn Incubator.

Amy: So someone wrote "Bruce, we did it!" on that incubator... Was our victim working on this corn?

Amy (pumping her fist): Good idea, whoever wrote this message could tell us more about Bruce. Let's get this incubator to Hannah so she can find them!
