Detailed Walkthrough
Hastir told me about a not-so-legal scheme that he hatched in his free time. He decided to "acquire" a bathysphere—a machine for exploring the flooded parts of the station. A bathysphere shipment was recently sent to the military base, and Hastir already agreed to "cooperate" with Farka—the head of the Customs Authority at the base. But, at the very last moment, some difficulties arose. What kind of difficulties exactly, Hastir didn't say, which is why I want to speak with Farka myself.

Farka said that in order to save one of the bathyspheres, he needs to get a signature from the head mechanic, Baksmer. But, Farka doesn't have the best relationship with him. Farka asked me to persuade Baksmer to sign a statement.

Baksmer was clearly not happy when he found out who sent me. He said that he will only sign the document if I help him solve a "serious problem". It turns out that Baksmer was blacklisted by a brothel called the Liquid Sky. He agreed to make some concessions if he is allowed to go there again. It looks like I better head to the Square of Glory and discuss the details with Manner—the head of security at the establishment.

The doors of the Liquid Sky are once again open to Baksmer—Manner removed him from the black list. I need to return to the military base and congratulate the head mechanic.

Baksmer was so happy about the news that he is ready to sign any of Farka's papers. The Commissioner will definitely be happy to hear this.

Farka promised that, as soon as I return to Hastir, the bathysphere will be sent to the workshop.

Hastir wasn't stingy this time, and now I have a heavy bunch of tokens in my pocket.
