Description :
* Briefing *
Ever since the death of Karras, mechanists have been left without a home. While some have resorted
to live a normal life in the city, hiding but a few idols in their closet, others are still clinging
to the past, going door to door profiting off their technologies at the beck and call of some rich
Tycoon.
Phineas Theus is one of them, his reputation precedes him. Which explains why words quickly got out
when he was 'secretly' hired to work at the Blackwell Mining Company, beyond the city wall.
I was tasked by their competitor to find out the work that is being done. I just need to infiltrate the
compound, locate Theus' study and get a hold on schematics of his work.
Wish me luck.
