Choice Text and Results
Ask about terminals
She looks at you aghast. "Sorry, I'm here to maintain the archive, not to play librarian for every dead-ender that finds its way down here. If you're supposed to be here, you should know where you're supposed to be looking."
Or, with some condition?:
"Are you finally here to fix that damned thing? It's never really worked, you know."
"Anyway, have at," she gestures further through the stacks. "And good luck."
Or, after getting her drunk?:
"They put in that damned terminal… gods, before the incident. Corporate seems to think it'll work better running NovOS, but I'll believe it when I see it."
Ask about seed samples
She looks at you aghast. "Sorry, I'm here to maintain the archive, not to play librarian for every dead-ender that finds its way down here. If you're supposed to be here, you should know where you're supposed to be looking."
Or, after giving her a flask and not in Midgard Security Outfit:
"Yeah, seeds. Midgard tried to sell 'em for a while with markers, so the drones would know what's a weed and what isn't. Never took off, but they still have about a billion seeds in cold storage."
She taps her chin thoughtfully. "Maybe not a billion, but enough to give a witch something to do for a long time."
With that, she returns to pulling some records.
(Unlocks Cold Storage?)
Ask about toxin levels
She looks at you aghast. "Sorry, I'm here to maintain the archive, not to play librarian for every dead-ender that finds its way down here. If you're supposed to be here, you should know where you're supposed to be looking."
Or, after getting her drunk and in Midgard Security Outfit:
She looks at you aghast. "What do you mean you don't know where they are? They're right next to your damned break room!" She stabs a finger towards the center of the vault.
"I know corporate doesn't want you to look at anything, but I didn't realize they'd selected brutes that couldn't even read!"
She huffs something under her breath and stalks off.
Or, after getting her drunk and not in Midgard Security Outfit:
She leans back from her work and nods. "Yeah, those come in quarterly. They're right in the middle of the vault… right in front of the guards' break room."
She seems distracted for a moment. "Yeah, I only put duplicates there since one of the gorillas spilled coffee all over those drone schematics."
Ask about early Eclipse
She looks at you, faintly disappointing in you. "Eclipse? This is a Midgard records vault. Not some drunken Met U fraternity basement."
Or, after getting her drunk?
"Eclipse? Naw, no drugs. There's some crazy stuff, though."
She leans closer, conspiratorially. "Back around five years ago, they brought a freaking skull down… gave it a spot in the wall and everything. They should have whoever made that call checked for Eclipse, believe you me."
Ask about differentiation
She shakes her head and sighs. "First the guards down here pester me about it every day and now you too? Just get cyberware to impress your bosses like everybody else."
Her expression becomes a little more complicated. "Stop chasing pipe dreams and keep your head down."
Or, after getting her drunk:
She shakes her head and scowls. "Of course you can't find them! Fucking guards keep stealing them all, thinking it's the secret to become badass. Get some cyberware and pop combat drugs like everyone else!"
Or, after getting her drunk, and in Midgard Security Outfit:
She shakes her head and sneers at you. "Ask your meathead coworkers, they stole every medical record they can find with anything about cellular differentiation."
Just chat
She shakes her head. "Long week, no time for small talk until the work slows down and we get to hit the town."
She turns, talking to herself more than you. "Long week hopefully means a long weekend. Thank God for comp time."
Or, after getting her drunk?:
She nods towards you. "Week's going a lot better with a little liquid morale, that's for damned sure."
"We haven't had new entries for years, but now they're freaking out about the computers downtown not being secure enough and my workload goes through the roof."
Or, in Midgard Security outfit?
She stares wordlessly at you until you finish talking.
Offer an office flask
She accepts the flask gladly and takes a quick swig before hiding it in her desk. "Thanks, honey, you're a lifesaver."
(Lose 1 office flask.)
Or, in Midgard Security outfit:
She looks you up and down. "Sorry, you know I don't drink on the job."
Murder her
She accepts her fate with the grace only the extremely tired can muster, collapsing on the floor.
You found: Midgard records ID
Leave her be
As you walk away, she heaves a relieved sigh.
