Detailed Walkthrough

UC Security Office

After a UC Security officer says Yumi might have additional work, return to the UC Security office near the spaceport. He will tell you that there was a scuffle between two people at Dawn's Roost and afterwards one of them showed up in the UC Security office to accuse the other one of stealing a valuable ring. Unfortunately, he was still "inebriated" and left without identifying the other person. Yumi asks you to talk to Royce Elgin at the Dawn's Roost.

Dawn's Roost

Go the Dawn's Roost and speak to Royce Elgin behind the bar. He will tell you that the fighting parties were Hugo and Octavio. They were a couple that dined regularly at the Dawn's Roost for quite some time. He does not know about a stolen ring, but thinks that Octavio is the one accusing Hugo of stealing his ring, and that Hugo lives in Athena Tower in the residential district.

Don't forget to find the The New Atlantian 03 magazine on the terrace. Also, this is an opportunity to talk with Markieff Sutherland.

Athena Tower

Find Hugo in the lobby of Athena Tower where he is furiously talking to himself, calling Octavio a liar and manipulator. He tells you about his relationship with Octavio. Hugo is surprised to learn that he is accused of theft, and reveals that the ring in question is an engagement ring from Octavio. In Octavio's pocket, Hugo discovered a napkin with the phone number of a Dawn's Roost server. Therefore, he ended their relationship at the final dinner just before they were to pledge their life together.

Hugo considers the ring in question to be his property, as it was gifted to him. You can persuade him to give you the ring, pickpocket it from him, kill him and take the ring, or agree with his position and let him keep it. You can also just steal the ring from Hugo without talking to him.

UC Security Office

Return to Sergeant Yumi and report the result of your investigation. If you retrieved the ring from Hugo, you can either give it to Yumi so it gets returned to Octavio, or you can lie to Yumi and keep the ring for yourself.

• The following empty mission stages were omitted from the table: 9.

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Mission system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• Not all entries may appear in your log; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the mission is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with missions that have multiple possible outcomes or missions where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Mission" it means the mission disappears from the Active Mission list, but you may still receive new entries for that mission.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the mission by entering setstage FFNewAtlantis04 stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) mission stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the mission using resetquest FFNewAtlantis04.
