Hello there, everybody. Welcome to yet another episode of Papers, Please. I'm not going to introduce much, but if you're new here, click the link in the description to start from the beginning, because we just had something crazy happen last episode. We ended on a bit of a cliffhanger. we didn't know what was happening something major happened so make sure you go watch that episode first but let's get into day number twenty seven and see what happens with our friend so we don't really know what happened but a coordinated border breach unknown assailants swamp security so yesterday at the end of the day There were several people that came together to attack the border. Somebody came in on a motorcycle. So unknown assailants. So people, we don't know who they are. Attackers, assailants, swamp security. So when you get swamped with something, that's when there's like so much of it. So much, for example, water or work, or in this case, attackers. Because we couldn't handle them several of our people died including our friend Serge Sergei Sergei, what was his name? I forget So there was a coordinated border breach And then top-level talks are called Grestin territory where territory remains dividing issue so this is that's where we are the Grestin territory and so remember that there is East Grestin West Grestin and And so that's a divided territory. And that is the main issue, the main problem that the countries are having together, right? The top level talks. So people that are discussing things up in the military, or sorry, not the military, the highest government or whatever. So it's December 19th, 1982. We're going to work. Our little friend in green is no longer there. Inspector, in order to improve efficiency, the entry permit and ID supplement have been consolidated into a single access permit. Oh, more stuff. Foreigners are now required to present a valid access permit. So instead of the permit and ID, they're going to have to bring in an access permit, which is different. Yesterday, this coordinated attack has prompted an emergency meeting. An important Kalachian negotiator will arrive today to discuss issues at this checkpoint. So somebody very important from Kalachia, they're going to come here to our booth. So we have to continue to confiscate Arstotzkan passports. Glory to Arstotzka. All right. Jeez. Insanity. And there's more rules that we have to keep in mind now. So we need to... We don't... They don't need an access... Whatever. Purpose of your trip, just visiting. So access permit, 14 days. Yeah, so it has their weight on it. 14 days visit, 185 centimeters, beard, entry by in the future. Those numbers match up. Davask Kotsky, so his name is different. Obristan is the correct country. Of course you have two names. Take this please. Three years, so his polio vaccine is good. Okay, well you have no known alias. So I'm sorry, but I cannot allow you in. I have multiple names. Yeah, but it's not on your thingy. So take this, take this, take this. Okay, there's fewer documents at least. Now we're back down to three instead of like a bajillion. Okay, here's this big guy.

Allow Kolechian diplomat entry but confiscate passport first. Ezek agent will follow to assume identity. So he wants me to, when the Kolechian diplomat comes in, I'm supposed to take their passport and give it to like an Ezek person who's going to go in and take their identity. Am I supposed to help Ezek? Are they good? I don't know. I mean, it feels like they're fighting against something at least. Okay, three months for a visit. Oh, transiting elsewhere, that's wrong.

All right, a small package arrived. Um, a class five apartment is the best available. Class five is the best that a worker can have. It would be all of my money because Ezek only gave us a small little amount of money. Um, so I don't think I'm going to spend all of my money to do that. And I think we're okay, we have everybody safe, we're healthy, we've got plenty of money, or not plenty, we've got enough money, thanks to the easy mode crutch and everything being okay. But, yeah, let's keep going. We're not gonna do, oh, look. Kalachians are crazy. Bizarre behavior from the top negotiator spoils talks. So there's the Ezek logo again. So, bizarre behavior. Bizarre is just so strange, really, really weird. behavior is the way that somebody acts. So really weird way of acting from the top negotiator, the guy that we let through yesterday, spoils the talks, which makes him go bad, right? He destroyed the negotiations between the countries. So today is just December 20th, 1982. In response to the continued attacks, the Ministry of Information is expanding the passport confiscation program.
