| 0 | "Let's get to work," says the Detective. |
| 2 | The Detective examines the note. "It sounds ideological. Or at least emotionally charged. A pupaphobe, perhaps?" |

| 6 | The Detective peers at the ruined tools, and the hollowed heads. "If this is a gemstone smuggling operation, it's exceedingly strange." |
| 8 | "At last, a real lead." The Implacable Detective looks at the patch of mud with the pride usually reserved for an overperforming grandchild. "We're getting somewhere." |
