'''Cath:''' Sure, that's Harvard's motto. Or is it the post office...? }}

* [[Downer Ending]] - {{spoiler|WWI begins, Cath doesn't/won't get the girl, Tatiana blows herself up, and the explanation of Tyler's death leaves something to be desired. The other ending hints at a sequel, but the player dies just afterwards. Plus the Comic Relief dies among others.}}

Line 62:

* [[Western Terrorists]] - The Black Hand, Serbian nationalists. Alexei Dolnikov, Russian nihilist/anarchist. Cath himself is a fugitive for ''at least'' his involvement with the IRA; {{spoiler|though his only crime there was treating their injured - or so George diplomatically concedes. It's not clear if that's what happened or if that would become the "official story" if Cath took his offer to ally himself with British interests; either way, the offer isn't taken.}}

* [[Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters]]: Lampshaded in a dialogue between Cath and Schmidt.

Cath: "I didn't say I wasn't sympathetic. I said they were terrorists." }}
