An oddity:

- Have LOTE in my deck
- Have 2 turns of Ocean Sight
- Perception: 9 (14)
- Reflexes: 7 (10)
- Strength: 1 (4)
- Will: 0 (3)
Gives:
Tactical goggles:
You stare into shades, seeing nothing but your own reflection.
He looks you over, a confident smirk twisting up one corner of his mouth.
He doesn't seem impressed, but you're able to pull back before things get violent.
(Tried this twice, first time I had 1 turn of Enteric, thought that maybe it had ran out "during" the encounter.)
Gallery visor:
You stare into shades, seeing nothing but your own reflection.
He looks you over, a confident smirk twisting up one corner of his mouth.
He doesn't seem impressed, but you're able to pull back before things get violent.
He gestures at you with his gun as you back off. "Don't come back here unless you want to get yourself shot."
And with Shard's shades:
Apparently unwilling to take any more of your shakedown attempts, he leaps to the attack.
He shouts gibberish at you, which somehow seems like a dire attack. Over your objections, the room explodes, leaving you both floating in a starry void.
It's hard to tell which way is down or even how to move, but he doesn't seem to be having any problems.
You've gained 1 duration of Crushed Perceptions.
Towards the end of the gibberish, you can hear him mutter "you might've taken out Shard, but I can put you in the ground." It feels more like a question than a threat.
(Fight Saber, lose)
You've been beaten to hell!
You collapse to the ground. When you come to, you realize the Third Eye has dumped you into an abandoned room. He didn't even lock the door… must have thought you were dead.
Possibly a minimum Will requirement for that all?
Then, swapped out unearthly coin for tome of binding, another try - this time he does give me another chance (no LOTE):

Reflexes: 7
Strength: 1

4 Etheric Defense

Although his eyes are hidden behind his shades, he still flinches away from your gaze, muttering "so you're the one that killed Shard?"
He shakily looks you over, as though trying to confirm his worst suspicions.
You get the feeling he's shaken, but he doesn't back down. You withdraw into the hallway before things get violent.
You've earned 2 XP in Will
6th try to intimidate, now with 1 will but otherwise same stats as above, now with LOTE and Etheric:
Although his eyes are hidden behind his shades, he still flinches away from your gaze, muttering "so you're the one that killed Shard?"
You open your third eye, bathing the area in golden light. That… seems to be enough to push him over the edge.
He carefully circles around you and leaves the room without showing you his back. Dr. Amundsen is still drugged, but surprisingly light and you're able to move her up to her office.
You've gained a new contact: Dr. Amundsen
You've earned 4 XP in Will

Although his eyes are hidden behind his shades, he still flinches away from your gaze, muttering "so you're the one that killed Shard?"
He frowns a bit, gritting his teeth. "Alright, fine. Keep your freaky mojo on a chain and I'll give you the doctor."
He carefully circles around you and leaves the room without showing you his back. Dr. Amundsen is still drugged, but surprisingly light and you're able to move her up to her office.
