Hot Blooded

**Hot Blooded** is a side quest in INSOMNIA: The Ark that is obtained after completing Awakening.

## Quest targets

* Meet with Colonel Sabra
* Speak with Livy
* Find out what Unitor Profir knows
* Find the rebel recruiter
* Go to Twelve Commissars Station
* Report to Livy on the fate of his son

## Typical Journal Entry

Captain Riebel told me how Colonel Sabra asked him to help with something. I just need to find out the details from Sabra. I can find her in the conference room—I need to go up to the second floor via the elevator located in the hall.

Livy, a commandant from the D-106 reservation, asked Sabra to find his disappeared son—Unitor Sholke. Based on his file, this kid is a source of trouble for both his father and his commanders. Most likely, he got involved in another scuffle.
The colonel entrusted this task to me and now I must meet with Sholke's father in the administration of D-106.

Livy is clearly not pleased with his offspring's behavior. He talked about how, before he disappeared, his son got into a fight with his friend Profir at Grank's bar, the Rainbow 106. Profir and Sholke are squad-mates. He probably knows something about how his friend disappeared. I need to look for Profir in the barracks at the Asagras military base.

Profir cracked: a girl at the bar was a recruiter for the People's Wrath, and Sholke was attracted to her and her ideas—that's why they got into a fight. Profir didn't agree with his friend but thought it would be dishonorable to rat him out to command.
The soldier said that she can be found somewhere on the Square of Glory. I'll be able to recognize her by the large tattoo on her face.

I managed to find the recruiter: she turned out to be the Ayla the dressmaker. I doubt she believed what I said, but she still agreed to arrange a meeting at Twelve Commissars Station and bring Sholke there. This is my chance to save the kid.

### If Sholke survives

I managed to recapture Sholke from the rebels and persuade him to come back. All that's left is to report this to Commandant Livy from the D-106 reservation.
Sholke returned to his father to confess. Livy thanked me for saving his son and sent me to a reservation store for my reward. I need to speak with Liam, the store owner.
### If Sholke dies

Alas, Sholke was killed in a shoot-out. I need to report this sad news to his father Livy.
I informed Livy of Sholke's death. I don't know what upset the commandant more: the realization that he will never see his son again, or that his reputation is irreperably damaged.
## Rewards

2000 Payment Tokens, and in addition, if Sholke survives:

* 3 Flasks of Water
* 20 18.5 mm HM Cartridges
* 15 Handmade 7.92 mm Cartridges
* 15 Weapon Parts

## Notes

Sholke is occasionally referred to as Chalke during this quest.

To get all the information out of Profir, you need the note from his locker, which is the one behind him (if you're facing him), marked with a yellow tag saying "Open". Despite that tag, you'll need Scammer 1 to open it.

Ayla, the contact Profir directs you to, can be found on the front row of the cinema in the Square of Glory.

Depending on what you say, Sholke may decide to fight either with you or with Ayla. If he decides to fight with Ayla, you will have to kill him; there's no option to make him surrender and take him back to his father. If he fights with you, he may or may not survive.

The following dialogue options enable Sholke to survive; there may be others:

* I'm here to convince you to come back.
* Do you understand you joined the terrorists? They killed hundreds of people and they are not going to stop.
* A true soldier doesn't run away from his problems—he solves them.

There is a dialogue option for a Helot to use, but, by itself, it doesn't guarantee that Sholke will survive.

Sholke (if he survives), Profir and Colonel Sabra will all have appropriate dialogue after the quest is complete, whatever the outcome.
