choice to start: 2 chances can fail 1 achievement point
Given by Harper Osiris

Harper is down on her luck. Help her get back on her feet.

How to start

Starting this quest depends on your answer. If you turn it down, a later conversation with Danny Danetti offers it again: 2 chances in all. Turning down the last offer loses the quest. Based on the game data; not confirmed in play. Tip: back up your save before a key conversation (copy the .sav file from the save folder).

Expand a section to see it. Key choices: clues come from dialogue branches and may not be exact.

This quest can fail in 1 conversation on this page, marked in red. Inside, a red outcome shows the choice or ending that leads there, per the game data.

Every conversation of this quest, line by line. The choices listed under each line are the game's own, taken from its dialogue files (game build 25680465) in the order those files list them. Outcomes listed for a choice come from the game's dialogue scripts. That each one applies when you pick it is our reading of the data, not confirmed in game. Conditions shown as “if you chose …” or “after …” come from where the game data sets that story flag; other events may change it too. A choice marked “ask once” records a story flag when you pick it, and its own condition needs that flag unset. A chip such as “Name +1” is a counter that, per the game data, only this conversation changes. Conditions on it are counted from earlier answers in this conversation; that is our reading of the data, and the counter's starting value is not confirmed.
