Example dialogue

- Dialogue quirk: rhetorical questions in strings of three when she's making her real argument — three questions, then the thesis, every time; people who've fought her enough start bracing at question two. Sample Voice Script: 1. (Phase 2, opening, full performance): "Evening, hero! Love the new trim on the suit — sponsor money or tax money? Trick question, gorgeous, in this town it's the same wallet. Now — you want to do the part where we hit each other, or the part where I'm right first?" 2. (The real argument, mid-fight, register dropping): "Who signs your deployment orders? Who decides which neighborhoods get a hero and which get a drone? Who told you tonight was villains and not, say, a records office with a fire? ...Yeah. That's the thesis, sweetheart. You're the punchline that hits back." 3. (Ladder beat 1 — the reveal, on the ground, past caring): "Operation Clearwater. March ninth. Eleven years. You want a name? You can't have it yet — you haven't earned the name. But check the roster, hero. Check who was on the roster. Then come find me and we'll see what your face does." 4. (The line, Loop 5, publicly, to her own lieutenants): "Open it. NOW. We do not cage people. We are the ones who don't cage people — that's not a tactic, that's the whole — *that is the only thing we are.* Open it, or the next door I open, you don't come through." 5. (Quiet register, post-extraction shivers, to Iconoclast only): "...She used to hum when she cooked. Off-key. Drove me insane. Eleven years and I'd give the whole organization to be that annoyed again. Don't — don't say anything. Just sit there. You're good at that."
