Walkthrough[edit]
Join The Event[edit]
Travel to Siren of Siren of the Stars orbiting Aranae IV. Onboard, you'll meet with Captain Evgeny Rokov. He's onto your plan and would like to use it to get into the good graces of the Crimson Fleet again, of which he is a former member. He tells you that the ship is currently host to the Terran Preservation Society, a group of people who try to "keep earth's old traditions alive". He thinks poorly of them and views it as a glorified excuse to feel good while partying. He directs you to mingle amongst the guests to learn more about Larry Dumbrosky, while also warning you that any violence onboard the ship will be immediately detected.
If you wish, you can cut the mission short by finding Larry, located in the back of the ball room in the VIP area, and killing him for his access card. Doing so causes the entire ship to fight against you, turning the mission into a bloodbath. Be aware that once this is done the ship's safe, which contains the Earth Savior Award, will be permanently locked.
Get The BalBank Creds[edit]
Speak to Society Patrons until you learn that Larry has taken a paramour Klaudia Swist. She's located back in the guest accommodations area near the entrance to the crew quarters. You can either talk and convince her to give up what she knows about Larry, or travel to her stateroom and to find My Darling Klaudia which causes her to immediately give up Larry.
She points you towards Gabriel Vera as another accomplish. However, he refuses to talk to you. Returning to Rokov, he says the Gabriel will most likely be willing to talk if you get him alone. You decide to stage a fake emergency onboard and disable one of the redundant life support systems. This, according to Rokov, will force everyone back into their staterooms.
Heading to the engineering section, you find Chief Engineer Sandin at his station. Convince, bribe, or forgive his gambling debts to Rokov to get him to leave his post and leave behind his key card. Use his card to enter the climate control area and pull all 3 switches to disable the life control, triggering the shipwide alarm. Return to Gabriel and convince him to give up evidence that he has on Larry.
Finally, go to Larry and present the information that you have about him. He readily gives up his GalBank credentials.
(Optional) Steal the Earth Savior Award[edit]
Talk to Sheila Holbrooke. If the emergency alarm is not on, she is near the entrance to the ballroom. Otherwise, she is in her stateroom. Talk to her to discover that the award is over the safeguard of Chief Purser Murata in the ship's safe. If you talk to her you discover that she is a straight laced member of the ship and can not be convinced to give up the award, unlike most of the rest of the crew you have talked to. Once the shipwide alarm is active, she will leave her post and you can break into her computer.
This reveals that to get the award, you will need the Claim ID from Sheila. Return to her and get the code from her in one of two ways:
- Convince her via persuasion.
- (If you have the trait Hero Worshipped) tell her that you are saving the award, and she'll give it over.
- Talk to Evgeny, who will hand over blackmail for Sheila if you cut him in on the heist.
Return to the ship's safe and get the award.
Access the GalBank Archives[edit]
Travel to the GalBank Archives on New Atlantis. Travel upstairs and talk to the cagey guard at the entrance, who lets you in with minimal issue. Once you enter, you will be ambushed by Ecliptic. Dispatch them, then get the information from the Archive machine.
Return to The Key and talk to Delgado and Naeva.
If you are still on good terms with SysDef, return to UC Vigilance and report on the progress.

- ↑ In order to gain information on Dumbrosky, Player needs to attend a gala charity function on the starliner. Blending into a society party is an unusual way to gain information, but going loud on the ship would cause a huge combat/incident.
- ↑ Player is aboard the starliner and speaking to a woman (Swist) who is having an affair with an absolute jerk named Dumbrosky (who, in turn, is a manipulative embezzler). Player is asking why have an affair with a man like that. Companion can respond in various ways. In this one, Player used their Empathy to notice how enraged Swist is.
