Choice Text and Results
Argue the point
You try to argue that he's clearly not wearing a hardhat. And you're sure any impartial judge would rule with you.
He doesn't seem terribly interested in being impartial, just glaring at you until you stop talking.
Go for the head (evil (1))
You take aim at his head, wishing for one moment you had an I-beam to prove why this is a hardhat zone. Then he whips out a pistol. Even a small gun has a way of helping focus your thoughts.
(Fight Contract Inspector)
Or, with an I-beam weapon equipped:
You swing around to line up a hit on his the unprotected head like a falling I-beam. Goddamn is this going to be satisfying.
(Fight Contract Inspector)
Incite revolution
Only after passing out Metros Light in Authorized Personnel Only?
You try to kick off a worker's uprising, but none of the workers seem terribly interested… except the one drunk worker who comes in and takes a swing at your target, laying him out flat before the others break up the fight.
One of the workers approaches you as things wind down. "Take the rest of the day off," he presses a cred chip into your hand, "for your own good. We don't need any fights here."
You found: battered cred chip
> (Unlocks trio of workers fight if you continue on here?)
-or-
You try to kick off a worker's uprising, but none of the workers seem terribly interested. One of them, seemingly quite embarrassed, hands you a hardhat.
The man with the clipboard sighs as though he's glad the matter is solved and makes his way off before it can deteriorate again.
You found: loaner hardhat
-or-
You try to kick off a worker's uprising, but none of the workers seem terribly interested. In fact, they all act like they can't hear you at all.
The man with the clipboard sighs as though he's glad the matter is solved and makes his way off before it can deteriorate again.
Mutter promises
You mutter vague excuses and platitudes. He glares at you for a moment, then turns and lets you go about your business.
-or, with high enough alert, or after picking this option 4-5 times?-
"Just make sure it… wait…"
His eyes light up in outrage a moment before he starts screaming. "Get off this lot or I'll have the workers throw you out! Go! Go! Go!"
You back up, avoiding most of the rant you've unleashed.

(Walk away)
