Bloodhound ContractorGreetings, are you interested in earning a little extra something?Due to recent incidents in Penacony, The Family is short-staffed and is now hiring Dreamchasers with exceptional skills as temporary security officers. Applicants who have annihilated memes will be given preference.If you are interested, please contact me and proceed to Dewlight Pavilion for an on-site interview. It's first come, first served.
Accepted MissionOutsourcer
Attend the interview at Dewlight Pavilion
Mission DescriptionThe Family is hiring provisional detectives at Dewlight Pavilion. Go to the interview grounds and see what's up.
- (Talk to Burton)
- Burton: You finally made it here! If you didn't show up, they would've had my head.
- Burton: Someone messed up the Pavilion and triggered the security system we installed during construction. The office is a complete mess now.
- Burton: It'll take a while to fix the system, but the documents inside are urgently needed and must be salvaged quickly.
What about the interview?- Burton: You're the only one here. Let's just get started.
- Burton: Before I could even finish my words, those cowards just ran away as soon as they heard they might run into memes.
- Burton: Their eyes lit up like lasers when they heard about money, and they ran faster than a Trotter when they heard about danger. Now I'm counting on you, hero.
- Burton: Now, for the reward... Brace yourself because this good news might shock you! It's 5,000 Alfalfa credits! Enough to redeem the same amount of IPC credits! Incredible, right?
- Who do you think I am, a beggar?
- To be honest, you'll have to pay more.
- Burton: That's a decent price. Other agents pay even less! You'll get 5,000 credits because we're in this Pavilion, and if it were someone else, they'd take another 2,000 credits from you! A 50/50 split like this is good enough.
- Burton: Alright then, when everything's settled, I'll take 30%, and you take 70%. Deal?
- Burton: Clock's ticking, and the higher-ups want some progress. See that door behind me? Set off whenever you're ready.

- (Talk to Burton, optional)
- Burton: Clock's ticking, and the higher-ups want some progress. See that door behind me? Set off whenever you're ready.
- (Collect one file)
- Burton: What's this? An interstellar travel reimbursement? Now some poor soul has to foot the bill.
- Burton: Let's dig deeper.
- (Collect three files)
- Burton: I think we're almost done. If we have to keep digging, then I guess we'll have to tear down the walls.
- Burton: Let's just get out of here. We'll lose money if we end up puking in the office.
Check the results with Burton
- (Talk to Burton)
- Burton: We've been working our butts off, hero. Aren't you curious about what's written on these papers?
- Burton: Let's just sneak a peek, and then we could either sell them to someone interested or use the content to blackmail those higher-ups.
- Are the Bloodhounds into this, too?
- Burton: Hey, I never said I was a Bloodhound. I'm just an ordinary employee trying to make ends meet.
- Burton: The Bloodhounds get these tasks from the top brass and then assign them to their agents. The agents then outsource the work to us, and then we help recruit people like you to handle it, so it's only fair that we take a little "tip" for ourselves.
- Burton: Huh? These documents... seriously? Postpartum Care for Sweet Dreams Troupe, and A Hundred Ways to Drink SoulGlad...? What the heck are they reading in their leisure time?
- Burton: Maybe we should go in again, hero? Just outsourcing work, nothing big deal.

- Step DescriptionCould this chest full of files have been dispatched from the factory?
- (Talk to Burton, optional)
- Burton: Maybe we should go in again, hero? Just outsourcing work, nothing big deal.
- (Collect one file)
- Burton: Let's see what we've got this time... List of Anomalies in Penacony. Doesn't sound cheap.
- Burton: Heck! Can't believe it's just a novel! What a letdown!
- (Collect three files)
- Burton: Phew, this is a bit too much. Getting such paltry pay for the toughest job.
- Burton: But hey, you must be way more exhausted, hero. Go ahead.
Check the results with Burton
- (Talk to Burton)
- Burton: Proposal on Increasing Funding for Dream Construction Project, and Draft on Equipment Renewal in Reverie Hotel... all about asking for money. Looks like even the higher-ups are strapped for cash.
- Burton: But this time, there isn't... Wait, why does this funding statement look like a jigsaw puzzle? It's only half of it...
- Some kind of anti-theft system?
- Burton: Noticed something funny? These methods never prevent those who really intend to steal information. They only make us ordinary workers go in circles.
- Burton: If a seat belt is only fastened and sturdy when it needs to be unbuckled, is it a seat belt or a stupid belt?
- Burton: Well, forget it. We can't just go back with half of the document. We'll go back one last time, I promise.
Look for the other half of the report (0/3)
- Step DescriptionIt's not just an incomplete expenditure report, it's also a very meaningful expenditure report.
- (Talk to Burton, optional)
- Burton: Well, forget it. We can't just go back with half of the document. We'll go back one last time, I promise.
- (Collect three files)
- Burton: Finally, I almost got myself killed for the other half of the document.
- Burton: Let's get out of here and put the two parts together, hero.
Piece together the report with Burton
- Step DescriptionIt's not just Burton. You're curious too... What exactly is on this expenditure report?
- (Talk to Burton)
- Burton carefully pieces the two parts of the statement together, and the numbers on the paper rapidly flash.
- Burton: This stuff updates in real time? As I'd expected from the Pavilion.
- Burton: Since there's no one around, let's take a peek at this document and see why the higher-ups are so desperate for it, hero.
- Are we really doing this?
- Let me see!
- I'm not interested.
- Burton: Look at this, the document reveals the reward amount for those who retrieve it... Wait, WHAT!? 200,000 credits!?
- Burton: The Bloodhounds took a chunk, and the agents chipped away some more. In the end, my boss said the reward was only 30,000 credits.
- Burton: Tsk! No wonder this task is so tough! They've taken all the money and left us with a measly payout! And here I thought they were strapped for cash and I was trying to help them save money!
- Burton: Here's your payment, not a penny less. And if it's more than the amount we agreed on, consider it as compensation for your hard work.
- Burton: As for my boss, heh, seems like he's got a big appetite. I'm going to have a "little chat" with him today.
