Byzantium

Ellie will be standing by the airlock and will want to visit her parents. Agree to go with her to initiate The Low Crusade. Bring Ellie and Parvati with you since you can progress their companion quests here.

Head down the steps from the landing pad and look for Carmen Imagawa leaning on a shipping crate (24300XP). She will direct you to speak to Minister Clarke at his estate. If you ask for help getting in she will suggest that you talk to his guards while they're relaxing between shifts.

When you're done talking, go through the large doors near the workbench. There's some loot to be gathered here, but nothing particularly worthwhile so take the elevator up to Byzantium proper.

Emerge from the lift and you'll someone called Maverick Johnston who wants to talk to you. Ask him what he's offering and you'll learn that he wants you to appear in a movie he's making. Agree to do so to initiate At Central.

Go down the steps to Prosperity Plaza. You'll notice that most stores are closed but you can buy weapons at Forsythe Luxury Munitions. He sells a couple of unique weapons, but they're likely worse than the generic ones by this point in the game.

Go across the road to the now-closed Bijous Revue and grab the Titus Androidicus poster from the wall.

Go up the steps to the north. The first building on your right is the Bureau of Exploration. Go inside and find Alonzo Vallejos. Agree to do a trial run of his sightseeing tour to initiate All Halcyon in a Day. Take the lift up. If you are working with Phineas, there are a couple of rooms with loot up here, including a Compass on a Chain for your ship, but nothing more.

Back outside, continue east. Halcyon Parcel Service is on your left. There's nothing to do here at the moment but you can go in to unlock a fast travel point. Go left at the corner and Odeon Pictures is the building on the right. There are a couple of vending machines in the lobby. Use the elevator on the left and when you arrive on the first floor use the intercom and go onto the film set (9500XP).

For the best outcome to the filming, you'll want at least Intimidate 65 and Lie 40; companions and gear can help.

Before taking your place, you can loot various containers. When you're ready, go to the indicated position and the actors will start delivering their lines. Your job is to improvise as best you can: Lie (40), Intelligence (Good), Intimidate (65), Engineering (40), Intimidate (100). Instead of delivering a final comeback, you can open fire instead. Filming will end (9500XP). Afterwards, talk to Maverick (9500XP, 1125 bits, Board Reputation, A Star Is Born trophy). The reputation increase will be better if you passed two of the three dialog checks (or killed the other actors).

Fast travel back to Prosperity Plaza. The first marker for All Halcyon in a Day can be found in the south of the plaza, just to the right of the Rococos Decor sign.

Register the Byzantum Beacon (3420XP) and you will be told the location of the next beacon, which is somewhere in Emerald Vale.

Go up the nearby steps and continue up to the next level. Just to your left is Jolicoeur's Haberdashery.

Go inside and talk to Celeste Jolicoeur who will be struck by your well-travelled appearance. She's looking to create a new clothing line and needs your help. Agree to model clothing to initiate Makes Space Suits Won't Travel.

Ask about something for Parvati and Celeste will agree to knock something up for 6000 bits. Make a Persuade (65) or Intimidate (65) check to have the price reduced to 3000. Agree to the price to obtain Fancy Evening Wear, Collarless (9600XP). Talk to Parvati afterwards (9600XP).

Just across the way from Jolicoeur's Haberdashery is Billingsly's House of Inebriation. Talk to the Bartender Mechanical and buy three lots of Spectrum Vodka if you don't have any. Afterwards, talk to Guard Mayfield standing by the bar. He'll tell you about the importance of his role and lets slip that he has a key to Minister Clarke's estate. Offer to buy him a drink and he'll ask for Spectrum Vodka. Keep talking to him until he's drunk three and then he'll wander off to have a lie down. Follow him and steal the Minister's Estate Key from him (24300XP).

Leave through the back door and cross the bridge to reach the Estates District. Just across the road is someone called Hortense Ingalsbee who is not pleased to see the like of you in Byzantium.

Explore her dialog tree until she complains about the early retirement program. She wants you to investigate the exclusive district reserved for winners of the early retirement lottery. Agree to help and she will give you some Docking Bay Access Codes, initiating Why Call Them Back From Retirement?

Minister Clarke's estate is nearby. Speak to the guard outside the front door to learn that Minister Clarke is not expecting visitors but is expecting a delivery. Fast travel to the Halcyon Parcel Service and talk to Olive Yates. You'll need to make a Persuade (41) or Intimidate (41) check to have her give you the parcel.

Return to Minister Clarke's house with the parcel and the guard will let you through the door. If you were somehow unable to make the speech checks, you can sneak round the side and let yourself in the back door using the key you pinched from the guard earlier. Once inside the house, go upstairs, turn left and go through the door at the end of the landing. There's a book on the sideboard for your crew's quarters. Go to the next room and speak to Minister Clarke. Tell him that you're looking for dimethyl sulfoxide to learn that Clarke is under house arrest and the person actually responsible is Chairman Rockwell. Clarke will direct you to the HHC headquarters (24300XP) and give you an access card. Clarke will also give you a data cartridge with a message for The Earth Directorate, initiating The Lying Earth. If you got into his house under pretence of delivering a parcel, talk
