Synopsis:

Marcus, the Flaming Spy, attempts to abduct Isobel.
The dialogue either immediately follows HAV_TakingIsobel_BriefInRoom, or starts if Marcus gets into combat after reaching Isobel's room.

In the former case, the player is given the option to side with Isobel or Marcus.
In the latter, Marcus defaults to being hostile to the player. The latter case can also play with a party member who is not of a normally speaking shape.

After the ghouls are summoned, Mol is abducted and several Flaming Fists are incapacitated, if they are available.

How to trigger:

1. Load SCL_Main_A
2. goto 13 30 103
3. Approach the checkpoint
4. Press 1 until the dialogue ends (some ~12 times)
5. Continue up to Isobel's room (-63; 33; 162)
6. Wait for Marcus to address you.
7. Use the 'attack' button.
8. Pass the turn to him.
OR:
