Petition ID 1496: Messed up Quest Text (Mister Stern)
Submitted Thu, 09 May 13 12:13:09 +0000
This happened after I handed the various items I found in the Outposts' Council Offices to Mister Stern (there are a few lines in there that are repeated, and some lines are about the Improbability Drive, so I don't think they belong at all):

Mister Stern
"My goodness!" says Mister Stern, pushing his glasses further up on his nose and examining the array of objects you've just placed on his desk. "What an excellent find! Let's see, here... A dead rat, some phlegm, a rusty pistol, a brain, some sort of memory card, some... goodness, some Mutant poetry from the look of things..."
"Do you think they'll be useful?" you ask, somewhat dubious.
"Oh, yes! These are superb!" says Mister Stern. "Oh, and this must be one of those Joker coins!" He flips it into the air.

"Oh, yes! These are superb!" says Mister Stern. "Oh, and this must be one of those Joker coins!" He flips it into the air.
You pull out a cigarette and light it, knowing that there are questions to be asked and answered - like what you're going to do with the rest of your life - but for the moment, at least, you're content to just lie here for a little while.
A metallic creaking sound jars you out of your contemplation. You sit up, staring at the jagged edges of the Improbability Drive's remains, the jagged edges that are now trying to bend themselves back into shape...
"Oh, and this must be one of those Joker coins!" He flips it into the air.
You snatch the coin out of the air mid-flip. "Might want to go easy on that."
"Oh," says Mister Stern. "Yes, I see what you mean. Gives one a belter of a headache, doesn't it? Well, listen, I can't thank you enough for all this, but I want to give you your time's worth."
He hands you a pack of ten cigarettes. Result!
"Well, thanks very much," you say, "and I really should get going. I've monsters to kill, and I expect you'll be wanting to arrange your exhibits and write up cards for them, and that sort of thing."
"Indeed, indeed. Come back any time! And thank you once again!"
