"The specifics? Hagen can help you there." Napoleon V downed her drink. "If you do ask instructed, and get back alive,  maybe we'll talk again." 

Hagen stepped forward. "Let's go, kid." He growled, guiding Par to the exit. At the door the gnarled Revolutionary handed the trader a ragged envelope. "Job's in there. Read, obey, and return here, and maybe the chief will have some use for you. Now fuck off." With that last charming remark Hagen slammed the door, leaving Par in the square. 

Inside the are the following quest details.


SECONDARY QUEST-Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained

Location: Millot District
Player: Letter Bee
Faction: Revolution


The Millot District is Orleans' greatest centre of science and technology. It has been spared the worst of the fighting thus far, both sides recognising the importance of high technology in governing the city. You will make your way there and make contact with Armand Ney, one of the most valuable members of the Cercle Lumiere, a company which designs and repairs the city's power grid, from lamp posts to force fields and laser turrets. 

The Revolution wants Ney on their side. With him under their thumb, the Revolution will be able to sabotage more and more of the Orders installations and infrastructure in the future. 

Convince, bribe, or threaten Ney into supporting the Revolution. If he proves uncooperative, blackmail may be a valuable tool. Rumours say he cheats on his wife with a certain prostitute working out of Bourbon Avenue's brothel. Proof of Ney's infidelity  might work if bribery or sweet talking fails.

SECONDARY QUEST - Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained

Par only smiled as he read from the letter, before placing it in his pockets. Once he returned to his Bodyguards and Carrie, the latter asked:

"How did it go?"

"Well, let's just say that there might be hope in this enterprise, after all. However, you and Samuel," Samuel was one of Par's bodyguards, "will have to return back to the warehouse; inform the others that I and the rest will be away for most of the night."

A nod; Carrie was already speculating on what 'private business' Par was planning to conduct; he was a newbie in the cloak and dagger business, but she was moreso, and she understood - although she was a little aggravated - how she couldn't help.

"Be safe," was all she could say, before Par turned back to her and smiled, saying:

((Edited with Ulstermann's permission))

"I'll be okay; I'm sure that that person won't be as loyal as that Super Mutant."

And with that, Par went off to Millot District with his surrounding guards...

------

The reports of Raiders trying to sack Vicksburg were true; Par's Uncles were busy preparing for the siege, and thus cannot provide help to their nephew anymore.

------

Millot district was a fine place, filled with surprisingly clean laboratories and research facilities, as well as crude solar and wind power plants. To Par, it felt like home, and the whirring of windmills brought a nostalgic touch to him.

However, he was going to have to change clothes again; Armand Ney was a gentleman, after all. So, after seeking out an alleyway, Par switched to his formal wear, then walked out, bodyguards in tow. 

Asking a female scientist for directions to Armand Ney's residence, Par found out that it was in one of the few mansions in the district; most of the scientists preferred to live in their laboratories.

Pressing the bottom of the intercom, Par then spoke:

"Hello, is this the residence of one Armand Ney? My name is Paradise 'Par' Rapids, and I'm a Merchant Prince from the Far North, who wants to negotiate a deal with him!"
