Follow our guide to complete the Quid Pro Quo case in The Sinking City. Learn how to investigate the Fish Market, EOD's fish storage, and the University.

Alright, let's dive into the 'Quid Pro Quo' case. This is your third main case, so things are starting to get a bit more involved. You'll be heading to the Police Department first, in Coverside. Check the archives under 'Violent crimes - Suspects - Instruments of crime' for Police report №19-0451. This points you to the Fish Market, at the corner of Orchard Ave and Holy Fire Ln. At the Fish Market, you'll meet Anna, who represents the EOD. They're a volunteer group helping out with food, repairs, and patrols. She'll tell you that to meet their leadership, you need to prove yourself first. Your first task is to investigate their fish storage at Shells, on Hawking Ln between Warren Rd and Liberty Rd. The password to get in is 'I serve the sea'. Inside the storage, you'll find a guard named Daryl Grimes. He'll explain that someone tried to steal fish. After a bit of investigating, you'll find clues like a harpoon stuck in a crate, a crate of fresh fish, a fancy bottle with powder, a dead cat-lobster hybrid, and a hidden door leading to a torture chamber. Upstairs, there's a table with unfinished wooden items and a rack of tools. Don't forget to check the book pile for a Letter from the orphanage. Use your Mind's Eye to piece things together. You'll see the thief poisoning the fish, Daryl throwing a harpoon, and learn that the EOD is distributing poisoned fish! You'll also discover you need to visit the University. You can choose whether to tell Anna about Daryl's mistake or cover for him. Head to the University and talk to the man by the 'Closed for maintenance' door. He'll suggest taking the bottle to the Department of Medicine for analysis. There, you'll meet Samuel. He'll help if you clear his lab of wylebeasts. Down in the basement, you'll find a dissected Stygian with 'Experiment log, part one' and a dead Acheronian with 'Experiment log, part two'. After Samuel analyzes the bottle, you'll learn it contains poison and that Professor Westerbrook is involved. You'll then need to visit Cavendish's flat.
