Description


TheTruth3000

Appearance


He has a round, good-natured face to go with his broad shouldered and fleshy frame, built like a green mini-fridge. He seems to be dressed entirely in some sort of thin, malleable metal paper, fashioned into a vest and helmet. His confiding tone seems permanently incredulous, as if the world at large never stops pleasantly outraging him.

History/Personality/Information of Note


Colenso seems to be an avid truth hunter and is constantly studying and commenting on various conspiracy theories and rumors on the extranet. He is an advocate of self independence and has little trust in the human education system, centralized government, corporate elites, and bots of all kinds.

Interactions


Captain Steele can listen to various rumors or buy repellent from Colenso while he is in his shop. Steele can also sell various inventory items to him as well.

Quests


Colenso has the following quests:

The Hnngularity

This quest is activated after discovering at least one sex bot and asking Colenso about work. Colenso will reveal a conspiracy theory he's had and will ask for Steele's aid by giving Steele a GPS Triangulator device.

After using the device to scan at least four or more sex bots, the GPS will triangulate the data and produce the location of the sex bot factory. Arriving at the factory, Steele can navigate the building to find Hand So. When confronted, she will ask Steele to join her. If Steele refuses, she will attack using the Firewall. If Hand So is defeated, Steele can either destroy the A.I.'s data bead or hold onto it.

After returning to Colenso, Steele has the option of selling the bead (if not destroyed), or keep it from Colenso.

Requirements:

  • Encounter at least one sex bot.
  • Ask Colenso about Work? to attain the GPS triangulator device.

Resolution:

  • Defeat at least 4 sex bots in combat and Scan each one in order to unlock the location of the factory.
  • Go to the factory to confront Hand So.
  • Defeat Hand So (choosing to Take With or Destroy is optional).
  • Return to Colenso and talk about Work.

Rewards:

  • Store discount
  • Hand So's data bead (if choosing to Keep Hand So)
    • Note: There is no significant benefit from keeping Hand So's bead (as of 04/09/2023) since the quest ends at this point and there is no current use for the data bead.
  • 60000 credits (if choosing to Sell Hand So)
Plantation Quest

If the player stole the Amber Idol, they can sell it to Colenso for 6000 Credits.
