This level's booklet page
Ink and Paper
Through two winters a clandestine paper passed from letterbox to letterbox, printed in cellars that changed every few months.
If the Revolution won
It was read in every quarter of the city, and the occupier's posters were answered on the walls the next morning.
Otherwise
The Special Brigades found the press, and for a while the city read nothing but the licensed papers.
If the Revolution chose “Print one more issue first”
The typesetter printed one more issue before moving. It was the best they ever printed.
Otherwise
The press moved before dawn, and the police found an empty cellar.
