SC.409 INT. BLESSED BREW BAR-EVENING *

In a dark corner seated around an alcove table are two MEN,
and REGGIE BRAY, a tall, slender, good-looking, cruel-
looking fellow. When the player clicks on BRAY:


SC.410 ON THE TABLE

The men seated at it look up at Arris suspiciously.

REGGIE
You want something, guv'ner?
ARRIS
Yes. In.
REGGIE
In? In to what?
ARRIS
Word gets around, ser. Let's see
what the bidding's about.


SC.411 ANOTHER ANGLE

Reggie and the others eye Arris suspiciously.

REGGIE
We don't recognize you.
ARRIS
You'll recognize the colour of my credits
soon enough. Let's have a look.


SC.412 CLOSE

As, surreptitiously, a small box is produced -- opened. All
the men lean over it.

REGGIE
Not the original. An early
copy, innit?


SC.413 INSERT -- THE BOX

Inside it is a small carved image of a fat creature like a
troll. It has a cup in one hand: the other is raised in
some kind of slightly blitzed-looking benediction.


SC.414 ON ARRIS

As he straightens up again. There is a slightly astonished
look in his eye.

ARRIS
It's the Holy Brewer's Son!


SC.415 WIDER

REGGIE
Start the bidding.
MAN 1
Five.
REGGIE
Be serious or we'll break your legs.
MAN 1
Fifteen.
REGGIE
Better.
MAN 2
Twenty.
ARRIS
Thirty.

They look at him.


SC.416 CLOSER

MAN 2
Thirty-five.
ARRIS
Forty.

They look at him. The first man shakes his head, pushes
back from the table.

MAN 2
Forty-two...
ARRIS
Fifty.


SC.417 REGGIE AND ARRIS

REGGIE
(suspicious)
Fifty creds for this piece of
piss?
ARRIS
I like art. Any other bids?


SC.418 WIDER

The other two men shake their heads. Reggie looks from one of them to the other, then shrugs and pushes the box over to Arris. He picks it up, tucks it away.

ARRIS
You confirm payment?
(On Reggie's nod)
Good. Good night, sers.


SC.419 ANOTHER ANGLE

Arris, as he gets up and heads out.

(After the passage of a little time, player receives e-mail
from Fossa asking to meet him in the Blessed Brew Bar, with
the object. Choices then:)


CHOICE 1:
     ARRIS
      CHOICE 2:
     ARRIS
Why not? Why ask questions?
I might as well.
Naah. I want to drink and
look at the artwork. And
the pretty nuns.

|This whole thing stinks...this
belongs to the church here.
I'm going to give it back. |Might as well do what I
agreed to do.


(If 1:)

To SC 421. Player acquires GOOD points. Fossa, however,
will send the occasional fighter to try to have the player
killed as a result of this double-cross.

(If 2:)
