Location
This is in the Downtown area.
This area counts as indoors, hard to enter.
You can access it via the HQ Lobby: HQ Elevator with downtown executive ID equipped. On first time per day entering the executive floor, you are given a choice of the following options. If you have HQ Alarm, some of these options do not work. Further times per day, you are waved through. See HQ Elevator for details.
- Executive badge
- Visitor badge
- Halloween badge
- 500 credits
- Your fist
- Your words
- Your back
Resting here gives the message:
Midgard Security has a strong presence here and they don't seem to appreciate anyone loitering, so you end up moving around more than resting.
You regain 10 hit points!
