Darling of Fortune

**Darling of Fortune** is a side case in *The Sinking City*.

# Oakmont Police Department

This case can be started by speaking to Jacob Tucker in the Oakmont Police Department after starting the Self-Defense Case.

Jacob Informs Charles Reed that his sister, Emily Tucker, has gone missing from Oakmont State Asylum and everyone is acting as if she does not exist.
The asylum is the next destination.

# Oakmont State Asylum

Upon arriving at the asylum, Reed can speak to Doctor Palmer by the front desk, who tells Reed that there is no patient with that name at the asylum. He suggests finding Jacob and searching together and refuses to let Reed search their records.

Heading upstairs, Reed can speak to a patient who says that the keys to the records room have been taken by a woman named Edna. After finishing the conversation, Reed can use his Mind's Eye to follow the omens further upstairs where he finds Edna. She offers to give him the key in return for two bullets.

Should he choose to give her the bullets she will end up shooting herself and another person while Reed is investigating.

Otherwise he can give her a bracelet in the room adjacent to the records room.

In the storage room on the same floor Reed can find a Small piece of paper and on the table in a neighboring room he can find a Therapy session log and on a surgery table in the same room he can find several tools covered in mold.

Using the key Reed can now go to the records room, one floor down, on the door of this room he finds a Records room notice.

There he can find a List from the records room on a bench, a Notification letter(which notes that Winner and Co. (a medical food supplier) is no longer operational) on the desk, and an Asylum transfer list (which notes several patients being transferred to Winner and Co.) on a low bookshelf.

After gathering all the information he can here, Reed can then head to St. Mary's Hospital which may have more information on Winner and Co.

# St Mary's Hospital

Once there, Reed can use the archive there (Subjects: Suppliers, Period: After the Flood, District: Grimhaven Bay) which will reveal the Winner and Co. factory (Document) which provides the address for Winner and Co. Meat Factory (eastern Grimhaven Bay, Privateer St - closer to Clambay St)

# Winner and Co. Meat Factory

Once at the factory Reed will encounter several Wylebeasts, after dealing with the attack he can inspect the following things on the ground floor:

* Wheelchair near the entrance
* Funeral urn on a table near the stairs
* Minds Eye on the urn after inspecting
* Can of meat near the label applicator
* Operating table covered in blood

Upstairs, Reed can inspect the following things:

* Tags on a shelf with two urns
* Buisness card for Dr. Lydia Callaway on the same shelf
* Bottle of morphine on the bedside table.
* Book on the bed (Sleeping Beauty)
* Blood-soaked paper on the desk
* Letter stamped with "Return to sender" on the same desk contains Letter to Throgmorton
* Letter stamped with "Return to sender" containing Letter to Mr. Meyer
* Dr. Palmer's draft letter on the couch.

After collecting the evidence a retrocognion sequence begins:

1. Man reading to a woman in the upstairs bed.
2. Man carrying woman downstairs
3. Man at the operating table
4. Man near the incinerator

The evidence and retrocognition sequence reveals that Emily was sedated, killed, and processed into canned meat to feed the Asylum.

From here Reed will need to return to Jacob Tucker at the Oakmont Police Department
