INT. POLICE DEPARTMENT. THE FUTURE. DAY.

Two detectives FRANK and JOSH are scratching their heads. ↩ Reply

FRANK

This is impossible, what the actual fuck, Josh.
↩ Reply

JOSH

Calm down, we gonna catch the motherfucker.
↩ Reply

FRANK

The eye scanners don't show us nothing. There is no record about him in the system. That makes absolutely no sense what so ever.
↩ Reply

JOHN

Calm down.
↩ Reply

FRANK

How am I suppose to be calm. This guy, if he's a guy...
↩ Reply

JOHN

He could be a she, or a they, or a whatnot.
↩ Reply

FRANK

Exactly, we have absolutely no clue.
↩ Reply

JOHN

Let's go over the case again and everything will get clear. All you need to do is calm down and focus.
↩ Reply

FRANK

It wont help.
↩ Reply

JOHN

It will help.
↩ Reply

FRANK

No it wont.
↩ Reply

JOHN

Shut up! And calm the fuck down!
↩ Reply

FRANK

You, calm down.
↩ Reply

Dramatic pause. ↩ Reply

FRANK

Okay... Let's go over the case. Somebody is stealing the money. How? We don't know. Why? We don't know. Who? We don't know. And that is what baffles me.
↩ Reply

JOHN

What does Gepetto say?
↩ Reply

FRANK

Gepetto says that it is impossible. That every transaction leaves behind a trail of digital footprints. That computers should be able to put together how, who and even why, somebody stole the money. If it is even possible to begin with. Gepetto also says that stealing money is impossible.
↩ Reply

JOHN

Gepetto sounds like my second wife.
↩ Reply

FRANK

What are you on about?
↩ Reply

JOHN

My second wife used to bullshit a lot. And always in such ways that nothing ever makes any sense.
↩ Reply

FRANK

Why would Gepetto bullshit?
↩ Reply

JOHN

Maybe he doesn't. He doesn't know what he is talking about.
↩ Reply

Frank takes out a device that looks like a phone, but more futuristic-looking. On it he opens what looks like a chat app named "Gepetto". He types "Do you know what you are talking about?" c:0 ↩ Reply

After a few seconds an answer comes back "Certainly, Gepetto always knows everything.". ↩ Reply

FRANK

( showing the phone )
↩ Reply
See, Gepetto knows what he is talking about.
↩ Reply

JOHN

Did you just ask Gepetto that?
↩ Reply

FRANK

Yes. Why?
↩ Reply

JOHN

Well... in this case there is a motive. A motive to lie. Gepetto wants you to use him. Obviously he will answer that he knows things.
↩ Reply

FRANK

Ask your Gepetto if my Gepetto knows things.
↩ Reply

John pulls out his phone and asks his Gepetto chat app "Does Frank's Gepetto knows things?". ↩ Reply


INT. HACKER'S LAIR. DAY.

A group of computer hackers SINTHIA, LAURIE and JACK are watching in admiration as one of them MAX types something on the keyboard. ↩ Reply

SINTHIA

What are you doing?
↩ Reply

MAX

Typing C code.
↩ Reply

LAURIE

What's a "C code"?
↩ Reply

JACK

You are typing code by hand?
↩ Reply

MAX

Yes.
↩ Reply

JACK

Why not use Gepetto?
↩ Reply

Max looks at Jack with eyes that are about to roll. ↩ Reply

MAX

Because, my friend, if I do, I will be caught in two seconds.
↩ Reply

↩ Reply

Happy Hacking!!! ↩ Reply

Not so long ago I decided to forgo the wisdom of using git for this game. Instead, most changes will be recorded via the notgit.py program I wrote for fun the other day.
