Fixed an issue with double room/bathroom descriptions.
Does anybody know how we can talk to Ortega at this scene instead of Herald? This is the post-therapy thing O:
Itās not written yet. All those greyed out choices are under construction.
Working on the Ortega one right now.

Iām glad to hear weāll be able to explore more than one path eventually. Iād have a really hard time to decide which scene to play otherwise.
Watching Herald squirm is always fun, and I canāt help but think their first date will be awkward as hell. Whereas Steel and the MC feel like they could work surprisingly well together. You make it really hard to choose one over the other.

How do you trigger the scene with Steel? I either get a text from Herald or an Ad, then when I leave and lie to Ortega I just get tossed into the training scene with Herald, even though I turned him down.
@malinryden
The game still assumes during the conversation with Steel and in Ortegaās private office that Lady Argent choked the MC by the elevator even if Lady Argent and the MC only talked.
When the MC looks at the location of the barcode, the game refers to markings on both the location picked by the player and on the arm. The gender of the specialist also flips back and forth in the text.
I would like the option when Herald asks the MC for help training to downplay Sidestepās past skill level perhaps by pointing out that Ortega had been better at sparring back in the day and that telepaths only seem more skilled because they can see the planned attacks by their opponents. It might be nice to have that along with agreeing to train Herald anyway, and as a reason for refusing to train Herald.

Huh. I thought I chased down all those things. Did you start from the start so thereās no old tags hanging around somewhere? If not it would be super helpful to post a snippet of the offending dialog.

There are several barcodes, which I see can be confusing. I should make that clearer. Which specialist are you talking about?

I got the Herald training scene even though I refused to give him any. I think. I mean, I didnāt get the text from him, but I still jumped to the training scene.
Should be fixed now! I had the wrong goto in one variant where you didnāt agree to train Heraldā¦
@Iggles This should probably do it for you too.

Thanks for the quick fix!

I made a character rather than randomizing one. If needed, I can post all of the choices that led there or I can try going through the source code too.
Here are screenshots of 2 places where the game refers to Lady Argent having nearly strangled the MC even though that did not happen.

FOUND IT! Thank you! The culprit was a choke tag that was set to positive where it shouldnāt be. Should be updated now!
Fixed the specialist too.

Oh my god, this new update literally had me laughing in sheer delight at the Herald training scene. Sidestep you magnificent bastardā¦ playing dumb about Heraldās crush is killing me so goodā¦
Sadly, I wonāt have much time to playtest thoroughly for the next month or so 
but I did notice a bug with the Argent choking scene again:
My fighter!MC dodged her grab, but in the elevator with Herald afterward, itās still acting like she successfully grabbed them. It does seem correct during the Ortega convo, though.
Example: āyou say, rubbing your throatā

Small errors I found while code-diving? Iāll have to do a play-through for more testing though.
This is the training scene with Herald under the choice #āI thought you and Lady Argent were a couple?ā
āWell, {he} quit for a while. After you and Anathema... got killed." There's a nervous little laugh at that. "And when {he} came back, ${he} said he was through with being the face of the team. Steel makes a good Marshal, butā¦ā
The āheā should be changed to ${he} I believe. Thatās pretty much it though.

For some weird reason, I couldnāt blur another paragraph so Iāll add it here:
Another, I guessā¦ idiom issue?
This is near the end of Chapter14
Change losers to āchoosersā and now the sentence makes sense.

Iām struggling with getting the bystander killed any hints.
Fixed that, forgot to add the not(kill) to the other variables, hence the mixup.
