Receiving George Danton's Package
Receiving George Danton's package is a crucial early-game objective in Beholder: Conductor, often serving as an introduction to the game's mechanics of surveillance and item acquisition. Danton, a tenant or a contact, will entrust you with a package that holds importance to the unfolding narrative, potentially containing contraband or vital information.
Quest Trigger:
- The quest to receive George Danton's package typically begins shortly after you settle into your role as a landlord. Danton will either approach you directly with the request or you will receive a directive from the Ministry to monitor his activities, which will lead to the package.
Locating the Package:
- The package is usually not directly in Danton's possession when the quest begins. He will instruct you on its whereabouts, which could be:
- A hidden drop-off point: A specific location outside the apartment building, such as a park bench, a trash bin, or a designated locker.
- Another tenant's apartment: Danton might have arranged for another tenant to hold the package temporarily. This would require you to gain access to that tenant's apartment.
- A public storage locker: A locker in a public area that requires a key or a code to open.
Acquisition Methods:
- Direct Retrieval: If the package is in a public drop-off, you can simply go and pick it up. Be mindful of Ministry patrols or other characters who might observe your actions.
- Stealth and Infiltration: If the package is in another tenant's apartment, you will need to employ stealth. This involves:
- Pickpocketing: Obtaining a key from the tenant.
- Lockpicking: Using lockpicks to enter the apartment when the tenant is away.
- Distraction: Creating a diversion to draw the tenant out of their apartment.
- Observation: Sometimes, you might need to observe Danton or his contacts to learn the package's location or the method of its transfer.
Consequences:
- Delivering to Danton: Successfully delivering the package to Danton will advance his personal storyline and may earn you his trust, potentially unlocking further quests or information.
- Reporting to Ministry: If the package contains contraband, you can report its contents and Danton's activities to the Ministry. This will earn you Ministry favor but will likely lead to Danton's arrest and potentially close off his questline.
- Keeping the Package: In some instances, you might be able to keep the package for yourself, especially if it contains valuable items. This could have unforeseen consequences or open up new opportunities.
