 **Nameless Man “Sick Transfer” Path (Only if negotiated with Jace Laux)**
+**Sick Transfer (if initiated via Jace Laux)**
 | **Trigger / Cue** | **Immediate Reaction** | **Future Hook / Consequence** |
-| 🛌 **PCs bring Nameless Man under Laux’s fake medical order** | Butler Bot hesitates at ID mismatch → Dr. Nmir confirms override. “Treat as provisional emergency patient.” | PCs have a narrow window (30–60 minutes) to extract him or hide him before Troopers get suspicious. |
+| 🛬 **Troopers deliver the Nameless Man at the agreed time** | Two Guarding Troopers escort the sedated, trembling old man inside. One Trooper remains to guard him, bored but vigilant. Butler Bot scans him: “Unregistered male. Condition: unstable. Assigning provisional emergency status.” | PCs now have a narrow window before Trooper rotation or routine checks. The guard stays close and alert. |
-| ❗ **Medical Bot identifies signs of prolonged abuse / malnutrition** | Dr. Nmir frowns: “This man is no ordinary patient… something is wrong here.” | PCs may gain sympathy — or medical staff may insist on contacting Troopers unless PCs explain (Deception or Persuasion DC 13). |
+| 👁️ **PCs approach the Nameless Man** | He recoils, eyes wide, whispering “No… no… don’t… no talk… no name…” His fear spikes sharply. Any attempt to reassure or guide him requires CHARISMA (Persuasion) DC 15 or CHARISMA (Deception) DC 16. | On success: he follows shakily, hands trembling. On failure: he panics, vocalizes fear, and the guard’s attention locks onto the PCs. |
-| 🚨 **If Troopers arrive mid-transfer** | They question PCs AND patient. | PCs may bluff (Deception DC 15), use the “sick” classification, or initiate an escape. |
+| 🔍 **PCs attempt to covertly escort him toward an exit** | The Butler Bot rolls forward, blocking the way: “Patient movement outside approved zones is prohibited.” The guard lifts his head immediately. | PCs must improvise: distract the guard, disable or mislead the Bot (Hacking DC 14 · Deception DC 13 · physical block risks alarm). |
+| ⛔ **If PCs attempt to physically force the Nameless Man to move** | He cries out — loudly. The guard reacts instantly, stepping between them: “Back away from the patient.” | Situation escalates automatically: +1 Trooper arrives next round unless diffused immediately. |
+| ⚠️ **If PCs start a brawl or openly attack the guard** | Instant alarm. Butler Bot triggers emergency protocol: “SECURITY BREACH. NOTIFYING LOCAL GUARDING TROOPER STATION.” Nearby Medical Bots retreat to safety alcoves. | Full Trooper response en route. Mission becomes extremely difficult; extraction may require fleeing the entire district. |
+| 🏃 **If PCs succeed in escaping the Medical Station with the Nameless Man** | The old man stumbles along with them, terrified and sedated, muttering fragments of his mantra. Even outside, he panics at every passing sound. Within minutes, Guarding Troopers begin sweeping the Public Services Ring — Laux cannot officially intervene to protect the PCs. | PCs must leave Firetown as quickly and quietly as possible. The Nameless Man must be disguised: any settler who recognizes him from the widely circulated notes may raise an alarm. • Travelling through streets requires STEALTH (Group DC 12). • Using the [[firetown_courier_service|Firetown Courier Service]] requires a credible cover story (DECEPTION DC 14) or a physical disguise (DISGUISE KIT DC 12). • If spotted: Trooper patrols converge within 1–2 rounds, forcing a chase or improvised hideout. |
