Jemison Mercantile

At Jemison Mercantile, speak to Samson Cebrail:

[Q<5?]
So you're an art dealer?

[Q+5?]
About that job you offered me...

"Indeed I am. I've been an art dealer for most of my life, plying my trade all across the Settled Systems."

"That's actually why I'm here in New Atlantis today. I'll be delivering a piece of art to a very particular client later. However, I don't yet have the art in my possession."

"Actually, would you like to pick up the artwork and bring it back to me? I'll reward you for your effort of course."

...	Player	Response
	I'll do it.	Excellent.
X	I wish I could, but I'm busy at the moment.	Ah. Well, if your time permits you, return to me. Very well. Come back if that changes. I see. If you change your mind, return to me. [QE5]
🗣︎	Why not do it yourself?	I'm... Well, I'm not very familiar with the streets of New Atlantis. I'm not from here you see. I'd rather just avoid any trouble, and have someone more capable do the exchange for me.
🗣︎	What exactly does my "help" entail?	You simply need to go pick up some artwork. The exchange has already been arranged, and you won't have to show any credits. It's just a matter of picking something up, and bringing it back to me. There's really no need to worry, it's all very simple.

"You'll be picking up the art from Zoe Kaminski at the Trade Authority. Tell her you're there for Samson Cebrail's art. She'll understand."

"Return the artwork to me and you will be compensated."

[QE10]

--

[Q+10?]
I didn't know the Trade Authority handles artwork.

"Well of course they do, why wouldn't they?"

"I've heard tell that you can get some very... impressive items at the Trade Authority."

"But for now, let's settle for the artwork that I've procured."

Trade Authority

At the Trade Authority, speak to Zoe Kaminski:

I'm here for some art. Samson Cebrail sent me.

"Ah, yes. I've been expecting you!"

"Here's your package. Don't worry, I've already corrected the ownership record for you."

[QE20]

...	Player	Response
	What's that supposed to mean?	Nothing. Nothing at all.
	Oh... I understand.	Good. I'm glad we understand each other.

...	Player	Response
X	I don't feel comfortable with this. I want to return it.	Sorry, all sales are final! Now if you'll excuse me, I have some other matters to attend to. Thanks for your business!
X	I'll be on my way.	Thanks for your business.

Deliver Art

Return to Samson Cebrail:

[Q+20?]
I've got your art.

"Shhhhhhh! Are you crazy? Keep your damn voice down."

...	Player	Response
	You tricked me.	Oh get off your high horse. I didn't trick you, you're just not very observant. What do you have to complain about? You're getting paid, everything went smoothly, no one got hurt.
X	Just hurry up and take it.	Yes, yes. Just hand it over. You've held up your end of the bargain. Our transaction is complete, so I'll be on my way. Take care, and let's not talk about this again. [QE1000]
	That was... exciting.	I must say that's not the reaction I was expecting. But you're right, the world of art is quite exciting. Well, if you go about it my way, that is.
🗣︎	So what are you going to do with the art?	Buy low, sell high. I'm sure there's a wealthy banker in New Atlantis that will greatly appreciate what you just delivered to me.

"It's all part of the game, my friend. It pays to get your hands a little bit dirty. It pays very very well."

"But I digress. Thank you for your... discretion. Now that our little transaction is complete, I should be on my way. Take care, and let's not talk about this again. "

Stage	Finishes Mission	Mission Entry
0		(Startup)
5		(player initially declines)

1000	Finishes quest	(...) I delivered the art to Solomon. Note to self: shady art dealer types probably aren't the safest people to become friends with.

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_TheArtCollector 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_TheArtCollector.
