Quests in Medical Bay
- Solution Vital
- Worst Contact
1. Solution Vital Walkthrough
You obtain this quest by accepting to do a favor for the custom’s officer at Groundbreaker, CPL. Leonard Wheeler. He will ask you to give a message to Dr. Wanda Dorsett at the Groundbreaker’s Sick Bay. You can also gain this quest by speaking to Captain Irion on Scylla.
Regardless of how you start the quest the objective is to head to Scylla and rescue Captain Irion from the Outlaws there. Speak with him once they are dead, and he will update this quest and give you the Unique Weapons: Irion’s Flintlock. He is located all the way to the southwest of the map, nearly touching the edge. You’ll get 4000xp for this step.
Speak with Dr. Wanda Dorsett and you’ll complete the quest. You gain a large amount of XP, Reputation with Groundbreaker, 1500 Bit Cartridges and some consumables.
2. Worst Contact Walkthrough
You will find Ellie at the Medical Bay of the Groundbreaker, on the 5th floor’s second main door to the left of the entrance courtyard. This is also the location you access for the Solution Vital quest.
Ellie will ask you to check in on Jessie inside the quarantine area. If you have the Holographic Shroud and a cartridge for it, you can just go in and you’ll automatically disguise. Walk to the end of the hall and talk to the intercomm to meet Jessie Doyle. If you don’t have the shroud, there’s a secret entrance to the medical area behind Gladys’ compartment – you’ll have to crouch around a squatter’s spot.
Ellie’s story sounds far-fetched, and you can intimidate (20) to get her to open the door. She is not sick, she just owes a lot of money to the board. She’s thief by profession, and the Blood Tear diamond (last seen aboard the Hope) has surfaced. She wanted to steal it and got Udom Bedford to finance 50% of the heist. Things did not go smoothly, however, and she’s now deeply in debt to him. She asks that you talk to Udom. Accept to do this for 9600xp.
You can talk to Udom Bedford at his office near the Groundbreaker Promenade. He will say Ms. Doyle owes The Board a significant sum, and that the only collateral available are her organs so “compulsory donation” is legal in this case. You can offer to pay the fine or pass a Persuade (20) check to convince him to instead indenture her. 9600xp, The Board Reputation is gained by persuading. Paying the fine gives you the option to bribe for a varying amount of bits depending on your Reputation, or argue about the line item “emotional anguish”. You will also obtain 9600xp and The Board reputation.
Return to the Med Bay and Jessie and Ellie will be talking. Jessiewill give you 1000 Bit Cartridge to mitigate the cost of the debt paid. Talk to Ellie and you’ll gain 19,2000 and 9600 xp, and Groundbreaker reputation. Ellie will also offer to join your party. Accept and she will be found at the Unreliable if your party is already full.
