Encounter Conditions
After seeing the Strange Conversation in Shadows
No longer shows up after killing the 2 Family Enforcer combat on the waterfront ("You get the feeling that was the final wave they could muster")
Initial Text
In the shadows of the Waterfront, you see a well-dressed (or at least better-dressed) man talking to a pair of security guards. They're keeping their voices down, but that just makes it all the easier to see that they're conspiring about something.
He looks like one of the people you saw clashing before, so he might belong to some gang. Or it could be normal corporate politicking… it's hard to say from here.
Summary of Choices
- Eavesdrop - 2 XP Perception, or, with a computer equipped: hack Waterfront Scheduling
- Demand your money (As long as there are false records present from using command on Scheduling Tables) - Fight 2 Dock Security and Family Enforcer or in Midgard Security outfit gain 22-30 credits and 3 XP in Will
- Jump him - Fight a Family Enforcer
- Wait for the guards - Fight 2 Dock Security
- Kill everyone - Fight a Family Enforcer and 2 Dock Security
- Leave them be - Nothing
Choice Text and Results
Eavesdrop
You hang back and listen to their conversation. There's some discussion about checking into a site to make sure the schedule is right… sounds more like a corporate team meeting than some criminal enterprise, but people are getting paid out.
You've earned 2 XP in Perception
Or, with a computer equipped:
You eavesdrop on their conversation, waiting until one of the guards asks for the site's address again. It's gibberish, as far as you can tell, but with your computer right here it's an easy matter to jump in.
Now, if only they also forgot their password.
