## In-Game Description

stewart was working on my pituitary extractor. i'll need it back from him.

i'll need pituitary extract from someone who's been exposed to mustard gas. mikey forrester works at the wellington health; maybe he knows a patient who served in the great war. i'll send him a note on the blower.

what's going on up there? is someone in my house?

i hope that's mikey with a name and an address

oh for fuck's sake, mikey, you could have just sent me the goddamn name on the blower, instead of setting up a bloody meeting

i wonder why mikey wants to meet in person. probably to complain. but i need that name and address

## Walkthrough

Head back to Maidenholm and to the Apothecary to speak with Stewart Adams. He'll say that he perfected Sally's old Pituitary Extractor, which the player needs to get a pituitary extract from somebody. Head back home and interact with the blower in the lab to send Mikey a note.

Sally then hears her music table turn on and realizes someone's in her house. Head upstairs, in which a cutscene plays between her and General Byng, at some point he overhears Gwen crying, but Sally distracts him.

After some time has passed, go downstairs to check on the blower, in which Mikey informs Sally that he *does* have a patient that dealt with mustard gas, but he wishes to tell her in-person at their usual meetup spot; the back alley of the abandoned Government Printing Office.

Go to the printing office in St. George's Holm, where Mikey is waiting for Sally. Mikey reveals that Col. Thomas Lawrence is the patient who handled mustard gas firsthand before leaving her.

Suddenly, Arthur ducks into the alley, and the two meet - much like how Arthur met Sally during his Act. And while their conversation is mostly similar, there are few differences.

After Arthur leaves, head over to Colonel Lawrence's place in St. George's Holm. Knock on the front door, and Ed MacLear will answer, allowing Sally inside to give him treatment to the dying man upstairs.

Get to the top floor and interact with the attic door where the Colonel lives, a cutscene will play in which Sally uses the extractor on Thomas.

The quest ends after Sally exits the house.

## Transcript

### **Byng's Visit**

Open/Close

Sally: Well, General, why don't you let yourself in?

Robert: You didn't answer my knock.

Sally: I wasn't home.

Robert: Then you ought to lock the door!

Robert: Oh, the memories always come back.

Sally: Aw... And you have such dreadful things to remember!

Robert: Be nice.

Sally: Let me make the bad memories go away.

Robert: What on earth is that?

Sally: Are you hallucinating? Rainbow has all sorts of crazy side effects.

Robert: It couldn't be a cat. Hasn't been a cat since the War.

Sally: You're gonna love this one.

Robert: Couldn't be a baby.

Sally: Don't be silly. No one's had a baby in fifteen years.

Sally: Say ah!

Sally: Dance with me, Robert.

Robert: Shame I won't remember any of this.

Sally: Fuck in a bucket!

Sally: General? Robert? Are you still here?

Sally: Please don't still be here.

### **Reunion**

Open/Close

Mikey: I'm risking my job, you know. Patient records are supposed to be private.

Sally: I'm not gonna hurt him, I promise.

Mikey: I suppose they don't really want to know the truth.

Sally: Don't worry! No one will ever know!

Sally: Arthur? Arthur Hastings!

Arthur: Lovely day for it.

Sally: Don't you "lovely day for it" me, you idiot. It's me! Sally!

Sally: I knew it was you! I mean, it's another you, the glasses, the hair, you're all ... dashing now. But the way you look around, all intense like that, I just knew, that's Arthur! How the hell are you?

Arthur: Sally? You look -- quite stylish.

Sally: This ancient thing? I've had it two weeks, I'm not even sure it's still in style.

Arthur: Green and white checked. Your dress. That night you ran out the door and I never saw you again.

Sally: That horrible Gingham dress. I had to grab something to put on, didn't I? - wait.

Sally: You're off your Joy!

Arthur: Ah. Don't be ridiculous.

Sally: Oh ye of little faith. I'd never turn you in.

Sally: You won't believe what I got myself into.

Arthur: I saw Percy. A picture of him. And I remembered the train.

Sally: Oh, shit.

Arthur: I have to go find him. I promised I'd take care of him.

Sally: How are you going to get out? Do you even have a Letter of Transit?

Arthur: Absolutely. On my desk. In the City.

Arthur: I've been living in the Garden District, off the scraps of our former civilization.

Sally: The Garden District?

Sally: My God! I could help you. I do ... know General Byng.

Arthur: Ohhhh, the General. You always did have a knack for making helpful new friends.

Sally: You still hate me?

Arthur: Yeah, well, I've only been wondering for the past fourteen years--

Sally: We were sixteen!--

Arthur: --How could you?

Sally: Because he took me in when my Mum - died? Because he was so generous? Because he said he loved me? I don't know, sometimes things just happen, whether you want them to or not.

Sally: We were so close. The Two Musketeers? Remember?

Arthur: You know how we used to sit on the swings by the crashed V1?

Arthur: These days I spend a lot of time there, remembering.

Sally: Look, it's a horrible, terrible world out there, and no matter how clever and brave and fierce you are now - you'll need a Letter of Transit to get into Emerald City.

Arthur: I've missed you for fourteen years. I think I can escape Wellington Wells without your help.

Sally: Arthur...

Arthur: And I definitely don't want any favors from your latest "friend"!

Sally: Arthur!

### **Odious MacLears**

Open/Close

Ed: Sorry, we're very busy. The family is in mourning. Or will be, shortly.

Ed: With any luck.

Sally: I've come with the Colonel's prescription!

Ed: Prescription! What does he need with medicine! He's dying!

Ed: No, thanks. I know you're a clever chemist and all but... He's very old, and we've all decided to let nature take its course.

Sally: Oh, it's not a cure! You can't cure old age, can you, hah hah!

Sally: This is really just to help ... ease the way. Help him sleep.

Ed: Wouldn't mind if he slept a bit more. Always ringing that goddamn bell.

Ed: All right. I'll give him the pills.

Sally: I'm afraid it goes in ... the other end.

Ed: Ohhh! Hah. I don't suppose \*you'd\* like to administer it?

Sally: I can do that. I understand the the family is sometimes uncomfortable...

Ed: Great, well. Up you go.

### **Regina and Honour 1**

Open/Close

Honour: No! It's in the will. We agreed.

Regina: That was before you pissed on the Sheraton sofa.

Honour: I did not. ... It was Edmund.

Regina: You put him up to it! Because it comes to me in the will.

Honour: Serves you right. You knew I loved that sofa.

Regina: Well, you can have it now. What will you trade me?

Honour: For a pissed-on sofa? You'd have to pay me to take it off your hands.

Regina: You'd have to pay me to take it off your hands. Oh, you'd like that wouldn't you.

Honour: Well I hope you have lots of pot pourri. It does whiff.

Regina: I think you should pay me to clear it.

Honour: It's \*your\* sofa. Or will be.

Regina: It's Edmund's piss.

### **Regina and Honour 2**

Open/Close

Honour: Figures. Your rabbit peed on my books.

Regina: And then you let your snake eat him.

Honour: Uncle Edward bought you another.

Regina: You murdered Mopsy.

Honour: You're just cross because Uncle Edward loved me more.

Regina: Pitied, more like.

Honour: You dared me to jump off the roof! Then you pushed!

Regina: How much Joy do you have to take before you believe yourself?

Honour: If you or Edmund defiles one more of my things, I'm keeping the Hepplewhite chairs.

Regina: Keep them. Since you broke them out of spite. And I'm keeping the Chippendale breakfront.

Honour: Don't you dare.

Regina: No. You do get it in the will. It is awfully fragile, though...

Honour: You mustn't!

Regina: Ah, something you actually care about! Hah hah!

### **Thomas Lawrence**

Open/Close

Thomas: Honor? Regina? No ... is it ... is that you, hope? I thought you were ... gone on holiday. They've been beastly to me, your sisters.

Sally: I'm sorry ... papa.

Thomas: They're waiting for me to die. I'm surprised I haven't woken up with a pillow over my face.

Sally: How horrible. You survived artillery and mustard gas, but your daughters are your enemy now.

Thomas: You're not Hope, are you? Who are you? Who?

Thomas: HONOR! REGINA! HELP!

Sally: This will only sting a little. I hope.

(drilling noises)

Sally: You deserve better. We don't have a lot of heroes.

## Bugs

If the player takes too long downstairs, Sally eventually teleports to the attic and begins the cutscene automatically.

## Trivia

* The cutscene with Arthur plays out slightly differently than how it goes down when playing as Arthur in Act I: Sally leaves Arthur alone to face the Plough Boys, while in Act II, Arthur leaves Sally alone in the alley.
	+ Emerald City was the old name for the Parade District.
