**Friendship's Due** is a companion quest in *The Outer Worlds*.

## Synopsis

Clyde Harlow, an old friend of Felix from his early days on the Groundbreaker, wants to meet him in person. Harlow told Felix he wants him to be a part of a revolutionary project.

## Walkthrough

Felix' companion quest can be started if the Stranger talks to him after meeting the Information Broker of Devil's Peak Station during Radio Free Monarch or Signal Point in Space.

Go to Harlow's Base on Scylla, get past Voelker - a member of Harlow's crew - either by telling him his boss is expecting Felix or intimidating (20) him to step aside and go talk to Harlow.

Harlow will say he's working on something big that will change Halcyon and he wants Felix to be part of his revolution. But before accepting Felix in his crew he wants to put him through a test. The test is killing Rufus Trask - a former crew member who betrayed him - and bring his ring as proof. Then he says Rosana - Rufus' wife - lives on the Groundbreaker and might know where her husband is hiding.

Go to the Groundbreaker, talk to Rosana in The Lost Hope, and she'll reveal she's no longer married with Rufus because they didn't renew the marriage contract and he's hiding in Emerald Vale with a few friends of his.

Go to Emerald Vale and confront Trask. If the Stranger doesn't kill him, he will say he never betrayed Harlow, who is the real traitor because he actually works for the Board and all those talks about revolution are lies. If asked for evidence, he will reveal the location where he stashed some evidence in Harlow's Base. Then the Stranger can ask for his ring to tell Harlow he's dead and leave him alive.

Return to Harlow's Base and find the stashed evidence. The evidence is hidden in the hallway immediately right of the entrance to Harlow's base, halfway down on the left side. The Stranger can tell Voelker his boss works for the Board. To Felix' surprise, Voelker will say he knew all along and he doesn't care as long as there were good hauls. It's finally time to confront Harlow with Trask's evidence. He will try to justify his actions saying everyone has done business with the Board because they own the colony. Then the Stranger can tell Harlow he owes an explanation to Felix or - if a Perception check is passed - accuse him of lying when he said Trask was a traitor. If the first option is chosen, Felix will remain with the Stranger if Signal Point in Space hasn't been completed, otherwise he will be unhappy about the Stranger siding with the Board and, unless a Determination 90 or Inspiration 90 speech check was previously passed, at the end of the quest he will join Harlow's crew. If the Perception check is used, Harlow and his crew will become hostile and at the end Felix will stay with Stranger after killing them, regardless of the Board affiliation.

The quest will be completed either with Felix staying with the Stranger or with him joining Harlow's crew. If he stays, he will get the Self-Governed perk.

## Notes

* To prevent Felix from joining Harlow's crew without having to kill them, it may be convenient to finish this quest before returning to Sophia Akande to complete Signal Point in Space.
* If Felix is upset with and keeps saying "What do you want?" thereby not allowing you to start this quest; raise your Inspiration to 75 and then talk to him again.

## Bugs

* Sometimes Trask may not appear in the location marked on the map, this can be solved by loading a previous save file.
