I don't know how to properly put this into the wiki's formats.. so I"m posting here.
After reading the vigilante chip info, some new stuff from Mr. Chess player comes up: These are from beating him at chess.
Watson
He glares at you for a moment, then laughs bitterly. "My dad set you up for this, didn't he? Stupid old bastard's always talking… Holmes this, Watson that. Elementary my ass."
He shakes his head. "Anyway, better than the rest of the time he's drinking… but yeah, I know all about Watson."
Leads to the following choices: Your dad fight crime? [Sic]
How about Vigilante?
How about Hammer?
Sorry for asking.
Picking the first option, Your Dad fight crime? leads to
The young man's mouth gapes open with incredulity at your question. "I'm… sorry? What?"
He shakes his head, as if to clear out a drug high. "Yeah, um, he reads about crime fighters with smoking pipes and stupid hats. He works in 'building security.' So if you ever end up in a Midgard facility wondering why the section of floor you just stepped on went click… that's my dad."
Ends encounter
How About Vigilante?
"The Vigilante?" he pauses for a second. "Yeah, of course. He's all over the college radio station because the real news won't cover him."
"Actually, funny story… we ready for story time?" The young man slides you an over/under then grins. "Now we're ready for story time."
"Anyway, this one time I'm at a party with my dad in the private Midgard habitation downtown. Top floor, by the waterfall, tons of VPs and their kids. We're there because dad just nabbed some ecoterrorists with one of his booby traps."
He leans towards you and lowers his voice to a whisper. "Anyway, this guys comes into the room and my dad's like 'pop quiz: what's wrong with that man?' so I look him over, right? The guy's suit isn't fitted, his face doesn't move quite enough, and he has a speck of something under a fingernail… Told you the old man loves his Holmes."
He takes a long pause, then slams the rest of his over/under. "Anyway, he gives me a big pat on the back and tells me to wait there. I listen in as he's talking to the guy, of course."
"So dad goes over to this guy and leans in like we're doing now. He tells the guy 'get out of here, vigilante, before I have to report you to security.' Guy said something I didn't quite catch about bosses and freaks, then leaves."
He leans back and clears his throat, going back to a reasonable volume. "So, yeah, might have been The Vigilante and might have been some ecoterrorist… who knows. Dad's got a soft spot for theatrics, though. Me, I'd call in the guys with the needlers."
You found: the over/under
Ends encounter.
What about Hammer?
He shakes his head, clearing out your previous conversation. "What is this, some kind of free-association hour? I knew I should have gone into psych."
"No, the only hammers I know are the kind other people use to pound in nails. I guess there's kind on old guns too, if you're the Old West type."
Ends Encounter.
Sorry for asking
Obviously this is hard for him. You bow out and leave him to his thoughts.
