Hi,
I've just spent about an hour or so attempting to play the Inform game
Insight. I've restarted several times after finding new topics of
conversation, but I cant make things click.

I've managed to get the man I'm questioning into a sweat by asking him about
the missing biosample. Also, I found his samples box in the basement, which
he either forgot about or lied about. The part I'm having trouble with is
referring to things like the folder of photographs in the drawer. I cant
find out how to talk to him about this, as I'm sure I should be.
Also, he is reluctant to talk about his lab, poisons, etc. I don't know how
to pick the lock on that chest, because the hairpin isn't quite good enough.
Also, what am I supposed to ask him, exactly? None of the topics I've tried
have worked.
Help please,
Zack

There are many ways to pick the lock, using various pointy things. But
you'll need something to improve your dexterity...

One is in the bathroom, and one is just outside the house.

The thing he really does not want to hear is someone's name...


That help any?

I'd advise you to work on this one. The clue is - there's nothing wrong with
the hairpin, it's just that you're not dextrous enough right now. There are
two ways to put this right.
