Oldtown Skills

There are apparently a "few" new skills available in Oldtown and no real progress on finding them yet. Quick summary of things that need investigating in Oldtown:

Construction Site

• BigDig hacking is still a mystery.

Misty Offices

• Blotted Document - use these with enough languages known? Though two of the languages are unearthly. Survey of Modern Poetry seems like a dead end but who knows? Where could we get more info in these?
• Massive Flower - have not been able to successfully threaten it. Skill for infecting more people??
• Double check the misty offices for juryrigged signal.

Records Office

• Something with the unsettling plans, office love letters, petty confessions?
• Tropical Breeze under special conditions? (Nothing special for tropical shirt+shorts+lei) Shark+myers sampler or salvaging?
• Sudden Darkness - Methodically search, Lightness, Darkness, etc.
• Unlikely but last podcast a vague mention of a skill to be able to use Midgard MG2 without reflexes penalty.
• "Guards swarm over you like flies" - cautious to not destroy files.
  • Come to think of it - any way to burn down the archives altogether?

Records Vault

• Hack Record Storage? Any interesting files once you find Dr. A's?
• Random seed sample - no luck protein analyzing them. Anything else we can do with them? "like a reminder of something you'd forgotten"
• Skull in the Niche - Pry it out? Sledge hammer does not do anything. I have not tried a crowbar since the skills revamp but seems unlikely. Need something more etheric. Try talking to it with other skulls equipped?
• Talking to Mim about stuff?

Lattes!

• Potentially a Sushi Chef-analog for coffee. Test making all the new coffee recipes a number of times for barista latte sommelier skill?

Other skill ideas tying into existing skills:

• NPC quests - no new text from regular quest-giver contacts (I have Squatter King, Dr. Myers, Dr. Thomas, Carlos.) Have not checked in with Hawk, Davis, Arthur J.
• Lost son - I don't think we got any new chemistry with Oldtown ingredients except fair trade grounds (to test with empty injector…mmm, coffee IV)
• Dock Song - long shot, but maybe the vines are a third faction in the ocean/fae eyes choice.

I initially proposed the coffee-related skills as a joke but I honest think that they are most likely. More ideas?

Has there been a coordinated (or any…) effort to tackle what's listed above?

Various investigation into the Blotted Documents but otherwise not a lot.

Massive Flower - have not been able to successfully threaten it. Skill for infecting more people??

The Massive Flower has yielded some fruit (insert botanical pun) in the records office, which may or may not be related to new skills.

Arson Inspirations doesn't seem like it would be mutually exclusive with anything else around but who knows. Hm, I should threaten the plant again with that active.
