0:31 on Day 11
Last time we left off after watching the pantomime, just after
midnight. We could get started on the day quest right away, but we're in
a bit of a bad shape right now. Time to head back home.

"The streets have this eerie feel to them today. After all the chaos of the past week, it's too calm..."

"Not that it has deterred the criminals. My rifle is starting to break down from fighting off all the robbers."

"After downing some painkillers, I went to sleep. When I woke up a few
hours later, I felt really ill. The infection seems to be spreading
rather rapidly now."

When you're infected, you will sometimes get a blurry effect, which
makes it hard to see. This is especially annoying in the middle of
combat, but as long as you keep your infection bar down the effect is
minimal. However, right now it's dangerously high and the screen got all
messed up. You often get this effect right after sleeping.

"Well, all things considered it could be worse. I'm still alive, and with
the recently developed cure for the Sand Plague it won't kill me.
I hope."

"Argh! What's his problem? I had to run straight for the Cathedral just to stay alive."
If you're too infected, the Sanitary unit soldiers will start to
notice you looking a bit plagued and will open fire on you if you get
close to them. Took me completely by surprise, as you can see from the
screenshot.

Aglaja Lilich:
I have studied the drawing of the tower. It's an extremely suspicious
construction. It's not exactly a building, but more like a machine.
There is one thing I cannot understand, and that is how it was put up.
By it's own nature, it cannot be fixed in one place. It works as a sort
of gyroscope to keep itself standing.
Bachelor: You found out all the details already?
Aglaja: The blueprints are quite detailed. What's your opinions about it?
Bachelor: I almost feel envious. The founder of this tower made
an attempt to break open the places man has no access to. But unlike me,
he clearly succeeded.
Aglaja: I feel that if we just uncover it's secrets, we can find
the reason for the epidemic. I do not like the way something so absurd
can stand still on the firm ground. I want to know how they managed to
establish this. When you received the blueprints yesterday, did you
speak to the architect about his creation?
Bachelor: Yes, briefly.
Aglaja: Go to him and force him to explain his construction methods to us. Use any means you have to.
Bachelor: To torment is your job, Inquisitor.
Aglaja: Not this time, Bachelor! Don't question me.
Bachelor: Well, I shall do as you request. Isn't anyone safe from your plans?
Aglaja: Not even the Pope of Rome! Who it is is insignificant, I
need the facts. Something I can show to the General. The drawings of the
tower base are missing. You need to get hold of them right away.
Bachelor: I'm not so sure you'll find anything connected to the plague in some blueprints, though.
Aglaja: I cannot be completely sure my suspicions are correct
until I have my hands on the drawings, but this is certainly not
something that we can just ignore.
Bachelor: Fine. I'll try to find our dear architect.
Summary: Not much time left! Aglaja seems very sure the secret of the
Sand Plague, the Kain family and the whole town is deeply connected to
the construction of the tower.
Next time we'll talk to the architect brothers and see what comes from that.
