Talk to Nadia Muffaz

At the SSNN office, Nadia Muffaz asks for your help interviewing local business owners in the Well, New Atlantis's underground slums. She singles out three people she wants to interview: Theresa Mason of Kay's House, Talia O'Shea of the MedBay, and Henrik Zuran of Apex Electronics.

[Q-10?] & [Q-1?]
What stories are you working on right now?

"I'm working on an investigative piece about some of the businesses in the Well right now. Trying to get a handle on how things are in that part of the city."

"I'm not sure the story will get off the ground, though...I asked the higher-ups if I could go down there for some interviews, but they said it's too dangerous."

"They'd probably be all for it if David asked..."

[Q-10?] & [Q+1?]
What stories are you working on right now?

"Still working on that piece about the Well. *Sighs* The higher ups still won't let me go down there for interviews, though."

"I'm not sure how much longer I can keep working on the story without talking to anyone down there."

...	Player	Response
	I'd be willing to do the interviews for you.	[RAD02_InterviewCount = 0?] Really? You sure? The Well's a pretty dangerous place. It might be too much for a first-time reporter... [RAD02_InterviewCount > 0?] Would you really? I'd owe you big time if you did. You've been a huge help on my other stories, I'm sure you'd do great.
X	Tough luck.	Tell me about it. My career's never going to get off the ground at this rate.
🗣︎	You think anyone will read something like that?	I wouldn't be writing it if I didn't. Most people in New Atlantis like to pretend the Well doesn't exist. I think it's important to call attention to what's going on down there.

...	Player	Response
	Consider it done.	Great! I had three interviewees in mind. Theresa Mason, the owner of Kay's House, Henrik Zuran at Apex Electronics, and Nurse O'Shea from the Medbay. You don't need to ask too many tough questions. I just want a read on how their businesses are doing, and how things are in the Well. I really can't thank you enough. [QE10]
X	Actually, I can't help you right now.	Typical. Guess this story's dead in the water. Let me know if you have a change of heart. I think we'd make a good team.
🗣︎	If I help you out, will you give me credit as a co-author?	Who do I look like, David Barron? Yeah, I'd give you credit for your work. Credits, too. I have a small budget for things like this.

Kay's House

Kay's House can be found on the southern side of the Well, near the elevator to the spaceport and next door to the UC Surplus. Theresa, who can usually be found near the check in on the first floor, is happy to answer questions, and will also mention that some of her customers have been suspiciously eyeing the UC Surplus, starting the quest Suspicious Activities.

The MedBay

The MedBay is located on the northern side of the Well, near the elevator to the MAST District. Nurse O'Shea is also happy to answer questions. If you ask her about medical conditions in the Well, she will mention a sickness spreading among the children, starting the quest Reliable Care.

Apex Electronics

Apex Electronics is located just west of Kay's House, across the street from the House of the Enlightened. Henrik is standoffish and uninterested in your questions, he will offer only perfunctory answers.

Conclusion

Once you have interviewed all three, return to Nadia for your reward.

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 City_NewAtlantis_Z_PrimarySources 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 City_NewAtlantis_Z_PrimarySources.
