## Typical Journal entry

The meeting with the curator was short, but very memorable. General Tanaber is the senior officer in the Dar-Khala division, which is responsible for Urb's internal security. Faced with several difficulties in the official case regarding the Limb Incident, he made the decision to bypass protocol and perform an independent investigation.
A secret investigation team, based at the Vulture's Nest outpost, has monitored people with IHAP diagnoses for a long time and identified carriers of strong "somatic immunity". It's not clear whether I was predisposed or the incident in the Limb affected me, but the fact remains—I am capable of withstanding powerful neural overloads.
According to the curator, my participation in the investigation will help the group identify the nature of this anomaly and find a way to reduce its effects. I need to start working in two directions; Riebel and Redden will give me details.

Doctor Redden recommended that I proceed with Captain Riebel's assignment, saying that General Tanaber is waiting for the results.

The failure of the operation in B-27 evoked a massive response from the Autonomy Council and the General Command. At the moment, a meeting of security forces is being held at Asagras. General Tanaber will be at the Military Base, waiting for a report.

I had come in contact with another anomaly. Its destructive potential was greater than the previous one, and I feel that it's harder for my mind and body to cope with the effects of somnia. In my vision, I met the shadow called Gway once again. Seems like now I am closer to discovering the nature of the anomalies. I need to report what I've witnessed to General Tanaber.

General Tanaber told me that the situation with the anomalies at the Station is getting worse, and that Special Services are keeping an eye on the Nest team. At the same time, the General is satisfied with the results of Redden's experiment and believes it to be a promising area of research. He said that he will try to find out who Thel was.
He also told me that Thyper has arrived at the Nest safe and sound. I need to discuss the terms of the deal with him. He'll be waiting near Riebel's office.

Thyper will organise a meeting with the Broker on the condition that I help him get rid of the Fetters of Conscience—the debt collection device on his chin. Then I'll need to get some information about the package from [the] Broker.

A surprise was waiting for me in the Cloud Room. Soperate Deblin had spoken with [the] Broker's Terminal, but, it seems the conversation was a little tense. Deblin and his people have significantly complicated [the] Broker's life—the smuggler was arrested by The Committee. To deal with this, I'll need General Tanaber's help. I need to return to the Vulture's Nest and try to get in touch with him.

I met General Tanaber in the Nest. It looks like he's got problems. Still, he was able to find out [the] Broker's fate: they are planning on delivering him to a secret Committee prison on the border. The convoy transporting [the] Broker will pass through block D-71, known as Amarkord Casino. I need to hold up the Committee squad and free [the] Broker.

The Committee convoy tribunes are taking positions. I need to act quickly.

When the Committee convoy was destroyed, out walked Grank, the owner of Rainbow 106, as if nothing had happened. It seems he has much to tell me.

Grank thanked me for the help, and his young helper Mogwai gave me a package from Ubu. In the package there was an identification capsule for Autonomy citizen JS0515. Ubu attached a note to the package: "A little longer and it would have become sand and waves. Put it together and release it to the will of the storm." I need to show the capsule to General Tanaber.

## Reward

## Quest Hints

The Casino is a dark and confusing area. From your entry point, head forward and through the door on the right; there's a picture to the right once you've done this. With your back to the picture, head forward; if you're lucky, you will see someone arming an explosive device through the window ahead. Head left towards the "Exit" sign; go through a door to its left.

Head right towards a "Fire Escape" sign; the door won't open for the minute. Turn away towards the seating area, and, to the left, you'll see a flashing light for a "Control Room"; go in here and fix the generator (you don't need the Maintenance skill or components). You can now go back through the "Fire Escape" door and into the Casino proper. Head for another picture above tables of drinks, then follow the only path down and round towards the lifts.

Go down, turn left, and go up the stairs to the left of the stage; there's an exit door in the distance to the right. Go through this; it's a good idea to save at this point. There's now a fight with several Tribunes, many of whom are using Plasma weapons. Fortunately the cars provide good cover. Once you've taken them all down, you finally get to talk to Broker.

To leave the area and finish the quest, follow Broker and go through the door near him.

Once this quest ends, Tanaber will tell you what to do, though the next step is not explicit in the Journal: you need to use Redden's Delta-module to acquire the The Day of Ash quest.
