something to do with the abbreviations in the slags medical file? We've never heard of V's before though?

I've gotten this several times while wearing smelly old pants, old trenchcoat and garbage sticker. So maybe only the pants and coat are necessary?

I tried for a while with just the dirty old trenchcoat and smelly old pants and didn't get the adventure, although I didn't keep at it all that long since my energy of Pep In Your Step was running out. I added in a garbage sticker and got it right away. My guess is that you need 3 "bumosity" to get the adventure, and that several different bits of equipment let you meet the requirement.

not that it's surprising, but slags poisoning is confirmed as unlocking this encounter

In the beginning, men were mortal.

I feel like you shouldn't need to be on Hel's quest for this, or a non quest equivalent. They've been picking up the bums since the beginning, so if you fulfill the criteria they might just pick you up with a different intro?

Nothing special for winning against the two guards.

EDIT: Nor for losing with pep in your step active.

I would be very surprised if this didn't work — but to look into whether Sugar Rush and/or Lighting in your Veins can work in place of pep in your step. (This may make certain runs (eg. just say no) a lot easier now if you can eat a caramel bar instead of exploring the charnel house…)

See pep effects.

I just got this encounter with the following equipment:

Hat: investigator's hat
Weapon: twisting silver blade
Offhand: garbage sticker
Shirt: feathered cloak
Pants: elegantly torn pants
Gadget: blazing PDA

Only the garbage sticker and elegantly torn pants should count, I think. So either one of those other items counts toward the bum disguise (which mostly seem unlikely), or the fact that I've got energy of Vile Camouflage going is making up the difference.
