Description
LeGuin natives don't approve of security, so they hire contractors to guard the brig.
Start: Side Jobs, LeGuin Stronghold
Introduction
You have a job: Insecurity, accepted at LeGuin Stronghold in the Ross 154 system.
Go to the brig. You’ll find Therem there.
Next NPC: Therem Stucke, Brig, LeGuin Stronghold
- Greet Therem
As you walk into the brig of LeGuin Stronghold, you notice that it's not maintained very well. The entrance room has an old, grey metal desk with the paint flaking off and a few bricks holding up one corner. A rusty, barred door on the far side of the room opens and a short, nervous looking man steps out.
Therem Stucke: You … you … are you <name>? Tumaini sent me a wave.
Me: Yes, I'm <name>. Pleased to meet you.
As you hold out your hand to shake, Therem looks at it the way a child looks at dinner kibble that’s gone off: something you just have to accept. Therem tentatively reaches out and shakes it.
Therem: Look, um, yeah. We don't really “do” security here. But, ah … we’re kind of expected to have it. Just, just, find something. Do something. Don’t hurt anyone.
You don’t really know what to make of this attitude, so you just nod slowly.
Me: I’ll, uh, just wait by the cells until my shift’s over, OK?

Cell Door:
(Intelligence check)
Most of the cell doors have broken locks. You’re so bored that you figure out how to put one back together.
- Aiding and Abetting
- Handle a Mean Drunk
- Feed the Prisoners
Feed:
(Stamina check)
Therem provides you with a cart of food for you to feed the prisoners. As you pass out the pre-packaged meals, you notice that their quality is far better than the rations you live on.
- Aiding and Abetting
- Handle a Mean Drunk
Drunk:
(Social check)
A drunk mall wanders out of his cell and starts shouting at you. He tries to box you, but you calm him down and get him back to his cell. The lock on the door is clearly broken.
- Aiding and Abetting
(Social check)
Therem comes over and points to cell number 3. He whispers that you should just let the occupant “escape.” Inside the cell is an elderly Harsene woman who follows you to the back of the brig and slips out the back door.
Next NPC: Therem Stucke, Brig, LeGuin Stronghold
- Collect Your Pay
Your shift is over and you’re happy to be out of this strange place.
Therem: Thank you, <name>. Thank … thanks for helping my wife's mom escape. Tired of her … following me.
Not knowing what to say, you just smile and nod. Something’s not right about Therem.
Congratulations!
