Walkthrough

1
When you awaken, Electrochemistry will prompt you to find speed.
2
Head downstairs and speak with Kim. He'll inform you that Union muscle has arrived.
3
Ask Kim if they are the people Garte mentioned for +30 XP.
4
Speak to Lena, who is next to the desk. She is looking for public phones.
5
Ask Lena what's wrong with the phone line and why she needs to use it.
6
Learn that her husband, Morell, and his assistant, Gary, are missing.
7
Ask if her husband has gone missing before and explore other conversation options to initiate the quest Find Morell, the Cryptozoologist.
8
Exhaust Lena's other conversation options to learn more about Morell and the Insulindian phasmid he was searching for.
9
You can make a Suggestion (12) check to learn about another cryptid.
10
Ask Lena about invisible cryptids to learn about the Col Do Ma Ma Daqua.
11
Pay for your room for tonight for +15 XP.
12
Head outside, ignoring the union men for now. If you spoke to Lena about invisible cryptids, you will imagine hearing a sound.
13
Follow your thoughts to unlock the Col Do Ma Ma Daqua thought. It's recommended not to internalize it if your Encyclopedia skill is low.
14
Torque Dork Thought: If you have Interfacing 6 and Encyclopedia 4, approach Kim's car and click the yellow thought orb. Follow the thought to admire the car. Ask if it will roll in the first sharp corner and say the tech-talk is rubbing you the right way. Tell Kim "That machine really puts the 'loco' back in 'locomotion'!"
15
Ask Kim, "What in there made the infernal whining sound that woke me?" If you meant the coil noise, Interfacing 6 will help you make the connection.
16
Conclude the conversation by stating how it causes vibration in the wires. Kim will ask how you remember technical details but not your name. Reply "I might not know much but I *do* know I like motor carriages" to unlock the Torque Dork thought. This thought provides +2 Interfacing, unlocks all Interfacing white checks, and is well worth internalizing.
17
Massive Torque Dork: Examining the car again and touching one of the steering levers should unlock the trophy.
18
The Harbour: Return to where you spoke to Measurehead yesterday. Make a hard save and go through the now-open door on your left.
19
Equip the flip-up glasses (for the Logic boost) and examine the file cabinet.
20
Go through the folders and make a Volition (11) check to force yourself to continue.
21
Read the note to find a to-do list for +5 XP. With Logic 4, you'll notice the *special* borscht item is odd.
22
Gather other items from the office: Postcard "Le Jardin '21", Book "La Fumée, Vol. 1 No. 4", some Magnesium in the bathroom, and a pair of Neat Office Shades in the bathroom cabinet.
23
If you put 0.10 in the payphone near the stairs, attempt an Interfacing (13) check to use your motor memory to phone a video rental store for +5 XP.
24
Leave via the opposite door, as the one you entered through is locked.
25
Grab the cloak you saw yesterday to obtain the RCM Patrol Cloak.
26
Continue along the walkway to find evidence of your bender (Inland Empire 4; +5 XP).
27
Search the nightwatchman's booth to find a Photo of a Happy Couple.
28
Backtrack and make your way through the shipping containers.
29
You will come across some crane controls. Press "Marche" to lower a large container.
30
Make your way up and cross a makeshift bridge. Equip your prybar and use it on a box to obtain the FALN "Ultra" Series Gloves.
31
Continue left, ignoring the open container for now, to find Easy Leo singing about containers.
32
Ask Easy Leo what he's doing with the containers and make a Logic (11) check to learn the new covers are in union colours for +5 XP.
33
Ask him if he's the Leo who wrote the to-do note and about the borscht to learn he takes soup from the Whirling-in-Rags kitchen to striking workers, initiating **The *special* borscht**.
34
Quick save and use gear to increase your Composure skill before entering the open container.
35
Speak to Evrart Claire, who is sitting behind a large desk.
36
To converse further, you must take a seat, which causes 1 Endurance damage.
37
Evrart offers you a 25 reál novelty cheque. It's okay to take it, but do not thank him.
38
He assures you that union people are looking for your lost gun, damaging your Morale by 1.
39
Attempt a Composure (12) check to avoid losing another point of Morale.
40
After this, you can ask Evrart questions. Ask about the hanging for +15 XP.
41
He wants a certain door opened before he'll share information, initiating Open apartment door for Evrart.
42
You can ask about other matters. Ask why he's calling you Mr. DuBois.
43
Make a Drama (11) check to learn he doesn't have a folder on you; he got your name from the census bureau for +5 XP.
44
Ask about your gun for +15 XP.
45
Finally, ask about the special container outside. Even though Evrart refuses to talk about it, you can infer you might be able to talk your way into it.

Tips

Internalizing the Torque Dork thought is highly recommended as it unlocks all Interfacing white checks.
Consider saving before speaking with Evrart Claire, as some dialogue choices can lead to further Morale loss.
Pay attention to skill checks, especially Volition and Composure, as they can prevent negative outcomes or grant bonus XP.
