Description
Check the local NPCs for bugs.
Start: Side Jobs, The House of Syria
Introduction
You have a job: NPC Maintenance, accepted at The House of Syria in the Ross 154 system.
Head to the port on The House of Syria.
Next area: Port, The House of Syria
- Connect to Omni Reality.
The port, already so busy and hectic, springs even more to chaotic life once you access the augmented reality of the local OR Engine. Hologramatic individuals suddenly spawn on various corners, giving directions or even selling digital goods. Neon signs and adverts, only visible via CORETECHS adorn many of the otherwise grey and lifeless walls.
Interact with an 'NPC'.
- Test an NPC.
(Social check)
After several moments of interaction, you feel you have explored many of the conversational subroutines this NPC has to offer. The NPC suddenly smiles and thanks you for helping to calibrate their interactive elements, indicating that you can move on to another.
Interact with a second NPC.
- Approach a second 'NPC'.
(Intelligence check)
Failure
This NPC almost appears to be speaking gibberish.
Success
It takes you a moment, but you finally discover that the second NPC appears to be stuck in some sort of loop. You attempt various pathways and eventually unlock the broken conversational node. The NPC smiles and thanks you, before despawning, presumably to be fixed.
Interact with a third 'NPC'.
Next area: Lounge, The House of Syria
- Interact with a third 'NPC'.
(Stamina check)
The third NPC proves to be the toughest challenge yet. He appears to be some sort of informational hologram and it takes all of your willpower to stay awake during its various monologues on the history of the station. Finally, it smiles and thanks you for helping to calibrate its conversational parameters.
A pleasant little chime plays out and words scrawl across your vision.
GRATITUDE! THANKS TO YOUR HELP, OUR NPCS ARE A LITTLE MORE INTERACTIVE. PLEASE ACCEPT THIS PAYMENT.
A moment later, a message informs you that credits have been uploaded to your CORETECHS.
Congratulations!
You have completed the 'NPC Maintenance' job.
You have received 64.00 credits.
