## In-Game Description

### 27755 Build

I should give the sick couple two Proper Suits, so they can dress like Wellies

Give the sick couple two Sunshine Pills

Help carrying Mary Bailie to the bridge

### XXXXX Build

Poor things. Sounds like somebody has a terrible life up there. I wonder if I can help.

A proper suit? That's a pretty tall order, isn't it? But he loves her so much, it breaks my heart.
I should speak to George Bailie and ask him what's wrong.

The bobbies won't know they're off their Joy if they've had a bit of Sunshine.

I almost half believe they will take her back. But whether the doctors in Hamlyn can cure anybody of anything, that's another question.

## Walkthrough

### 27755 Build

Upon entering the house and going to the top floor, George Bailie will ask the player to help him get his injured wife, Mary Bailie, back into Hamlyn Village so that she can retrieve medical help, and isn't a Wastrel like him.

In order for their plan to work, he needs a Proper Suit and Sunshine Pills, which he tasks the player to retrieve. The blueprint for Sunshine is given to the player from George, and is the only way of learning how to craft it.

After giving George the suit and pills, his final request is for the player to carry Mary to the closest bridge leading back to Hamlyn Village, as he's far too weak to carry her himself.

Once by the bridge, the player has to set Mary down on a nearby bench and watch George attempt to get the two back into Hamlyn, arguing with the door as he slams it with his suitcase. He is warned through the speakers to step away from the gate, and that he will get electrocuted if he doesn't. A Spanker emerges behind George from beneath the ground, and electrocutes him to death, ending the quest.

### XXXXX Build

Everything leading up to the player carrying Mary to the bridge remains the same.

Once by the bridge, George will plead with the Bobbies to let them back into Hamlyn, only for the couple to end up brutally killed.

## Changes

During this point in development, some of the side quests had a random chance of appearing in the world. This quest is among the ones that had a possibility to appear in the world.

Because of the random chance of this quest appearing on the Map, it meant that Sunshine was only craftable for players who got this quest in their world. Today, the Blueprint for crafting Sunshine is guaranteed to be found somewhere in the world.

The quest objectives, description, and story line was changed minimally between its availability, until it was completely removed from Arthur's perspective. The quest was re-purposed into Bad Dreams.

## Trivia

* When the player carried Mary to the bridge, the other Wastrels in Lud's Holm would get upset with them, making the carry mission far more difficult.
