Dhaal Party Event

The Dhaal party is a main quest event that must be completed to continue the game. Steele will go to a large networking event/party focused on the Zaibatsus, in an attempt to improve relations with them and find clues to the probe's location.

Party invitation ​

---

Party invite location

The first time Steele enters the space south of Gyre's End Taxi (see party invite location image). They will be approached by Darius and his Paragon bodyguards who will then give Steele the Steele Tech invitation for the event, whilst also allowing Steele to ask him some questions.

• Zaibatsus? - What can Darius tell you about the three corporations native to Dhaal?
• Steele Tech - What’s Steele Tech’s operation on Dhaal?
• The Shindig - So about this party...
• Darius’s Job - So what’s Darius’s role in the company anyway?
• Done - Take the invite and part ways with the Steele Tech rep.

A list of outfits that posses this flag

• Classy Suit
• Ephemerobe

Events

---

For the duration of the party, Steele will go through several events, each of which increases their affiliation with a particular zaibatsu.

Base events

---

	A detailed breakdown of affiliation gains can be found in the #Affiliation distribution section.

Events that occur in random order during the party. And are guaranteed to occur.

• Squatter's Rights? - Advice a peer on how to deal with some squatters in her habitation block.
  • Force Out - The property owner’s right, she should force out the cretins squatting on her territory.
    • +1 to Paragon affiliation
  • Make Brothel - The girl on the Tamani pup’s arm is right: you have to appeal to the people that ARE on the property, not the ones you want. Make brothels and entertainment complexes to take their money instead.
    • +1 to Utopian Skies affiliation

• Adventures? Adventures! - A group of young Zaika peers ask to hear some stories.
  • Sexy - Tell these girls about all the encounters you’ve had with the sexy species of the 14th Rush.
    • +1 to Utopian Skies affiliation
  • Violent - Tell them about your swashbuckling adventures across the frontier.
    • +1 to Paragon affiliation
  • Party - You’ve come across all kinds of transformations and body mods. The galaxy seems like a drug-fueled TF-bender.
    • +1 to Bright Water affiliation

• Terraforming... - A Gryvain Heartland Republic ambassador talks to Steele and asks about Steele Tech's plans (Slight variation if Steele's initial race is Half-Gryvain)
  • Flirt - Your company could be a lot closer to the Republic...
    • +2 to Utopian Skies affiliation
    • Marks that this has happened for future reference
  • Drugs - You think backing Dhaal’s drug market would help the planet. Let the streets flood with transformations and medicines!
    • +1 to Bright Water affiliation
  • Entertainment - What Dhaal needs is a lot more pleasure for the masses: movies, brothels, gambling!
    • +1 to Utopian Skies affiliation
  • Security - You’ve been through the mean streets already, and you can tell that what this planet needs is some help restoring law and order.
    • +1 to Paragon affiliation

• Slavery... - A Carver Consolidated corporate representative notices Steele and strikes up a conversation, before asking about Steele's opinion on Slavery as punishment.
  • Into It - Yeah, you can definitely see the appeal of making worthless wretches into high-class slaves. Choice is a privilege, and they’ve lost it.
    • +1 to Paragon affiliation
    • Shifts personality to hard by 10 points
  • Work Release - There’s got to be better ways to keep a population from descending into anarchy than slavery! Some kind of work-release program, or in the case of the zaika, even something digital to keep the dangerous ones off the street.
    • +1 to Utopian Skies affiliation

• Milky Leithan - A pregnant leithan employed by Steele Tech has been tricked into becoming a milk bar for the evening. How does Steele respond?
  • Encourage - Encourage the zaika to drink deeply of alien milk - especially when it’s provided by Steele Tech!
    • +1 to Bright Water affiliation
  • Discourage - come on, this is hardly appropriate - especially at a prestigious gathering like this. The zaika will need to find some other diversion than leithan milk tonight.
    • +1 to Utopian Skies affiliation

• Flesh And Metal - Some cyber augmented Zaika ask about the state of cybernetic in the U.G.C..
  • Cyber Bully - Tell the curious zaika that cybernetics are extremely gauche in Confederate space. They need to be ditching the chrome for gene mods, ASAP!
    • +1 to Bright Water affiliation
    • Shifts personality to mischievous by 5 points
  • It's Fine! - Nobody minds cybernetics. They aren’t in fashion as much anymore, but it’s not a big deal.
    • +1 to Paragon affiliation

Jack/Jill middle event

---

Will always occur during the middle of the party.

Steele will find their cousin, having taken some mods and working as a waiter/waitress for the event. After a short conversation, Steele can give their opinion on their rival's new appearance.

• Make Fun - Haha what a loser.
  • Shifts personality to mischievous by 5 points
  • Ends encounter with cousin Jack/Jill.
• A Good Look - That’s a good look on you, cousin! Real cute.
  • Shifts personality to nice by 4 points

After complimenting their rival, the party will move to the dancing part. Steele can then dance with their rival for a while before losing them in the crowd, or leave them in the crowd right away.

• • Ask Jack/Jill - Jack/Jill’s head start isn’t getting any bigger, right?
