1. A Family Matter Walkthrough

You can begin this quest by talking to Agnes Needham in Stellar Bay, Monarch. Agnes is by the town’s south-east exit, visibly shaken and calling for help. Hear her out and offer to find her son to being the quest.

Head South from Stellar Bay and follow the east road. It will take you to Amber Heights. Upon entering, you will meet Rose, and you can ask her about the Iconoclasts, the faction that leads the town. She will tell you that their town is a community, and there are no jobs, no corporation and no paychecks involved. You can ask about the leaders, Graham and Zora. You can also ask abut Tucker, and she will point you to a nearby structure. There’s a vending machine nearby and Bronson, the quartermaster, who will give you the task Odd Jobs.

Explain to him that she made it sound as if he was a boy in danger, and he’ll say she has been overprotective all her life, and he is ready to live his life without her protection. You can persuade (55) or intimidate (55) to expedite things and get him to go back, or you can ask him what he wants to do about it. The last option will have him tell you to report that he is dead. You can express your concern about what that will do to Agnes, and then either ask for something that would prove a body, or reject the proposition.

If you persuade him to go back, you’ll get 7500xp and can return to Stellar Bay to see things play out. You’ll find his mother is still condescending to him, and you can help him by saying he’s a grown man. You’ll get 7500xp. If you stick around and talk to them some more you’ll see Tucker is standing up for himself. You’ll receive 625 Bit Cartridge, Monarch Stellar Industries Reputation and 15000xp. If you tell Agnes he is dead and give him the proof you’ll gain the same amount of XP and Bits but won’t get the Reputation.

Velma Ballard can be found at the warehouse, the large building in the middle of Stellar Bay. Talk to her and ask about Braxton to get the quest The Secret People.

You can find Velma’s terminal on the 2nd floor and use Hack (55) to access her files. You will learn she has been siphoning money from her operating budget into a personal account. Her office also has a lockbox that contains Signed Tossball Poster, that you need for The Grimm Tomorrow – but you can get this item without stealing it by doing Braxon’s quest for Velma. If you need the key for it you can Pickpocket Velma.

Go back to Velma and confront her, but she will say she has earned it by working twice as much as everyone else. You can intimidate (20) or mention that Caleb says the same thing. She will agree to give Caleb a rise. You’ll get 11,250xp

Head to the apartments on the southern portion of Stellar Bay and go to the second floor. You’ll meet Laura, and you can ask her about Braxton. She will initially deny any knowledge then say that she’s after his stash. She will reveal that he’s delivering to a family that has fallen sick in a house in the ruins south of the town. Alternatively you can read an “Out for Deliveries” note to the left of Laura. You’ll get 4500xp and an updated objective.

You’ll first meet Edgar Mather, who will welcome you in and invite you to join for dinner if you accept his hospitality without mentioning Braxton. Nearby, Levi Mather and Martha Mather can also be talked to. If you mention Braxton, none of them know him. Upstairs, you can meet Lizzie Mather, who will ask you if you have “Rocket Candies”. You can lie (1) and she will mention someone else used to bring the candies. Apparently Martha and Edgar got into an argument with Braxton over the deliveries.

You can also read Levi Mather’s Poetry Journal in his room for some insight. On the third floor, there’s a locked door that can be opened with Mather House Key (pickpocketed or looted from Edgar) or lockpicked.

Ask her about it and she will reveal the victim is named Isaac, and that Elijah and other grunts were pushing him around. They can be found loitering in the alley behind The Yacht Club. You’ll get 5625xp and your quest will update.

Make your way around and take a narrow alley to find Elijah and his group of thugs. You can accuse him of the murder outright, and he’ll say Isaac had it coming, and you have no proof (You can find proof in a bin at the docks. In the bin is a Broken Tossball Stick with a purple tooth stuck in and Elijah’s name on it). You can Intimidate (55), try to leave, or if you have the Broken Tossball Stick then you can use that top bypass the first Intimidate (55) check. They will attack you if you leave.

Go inside the ARMS building and you can loot several items including Purpleberry Liqueur, Stogie Slims, Adreno, Spectrum Vodka and Light Ammo by a terminal. Read the report within to learn that Sanjar is bad with jingles and slogans, and instead includes numbers and statistics in his report. In addition, he completes work instead of delegating it – not a desired trait for promotion. You can use Hack (20) to read the files of Graham Bryant, who is apparently “subversive”. Lastly there’s Dora Erickson, who is recommended for the promotion thanks to her delegation skills. It is now obvious why Sanjar wants you to delete the terminal contents – do it or not it’s your call! (5625xp for deleting)
