Epistrophy


Epistrophy
Type Side Job
District Vista del Rey
Region Heywood

Epistrophy is the second side job of the Delamain storyline, straight after Tune Up. At Delamain's headquarters in Vista del Rey, Heywood, the AI that runs the taxi company reveals that seven of its cabs have broken away and are roaming the city with minds of their own. V takes a scanner and sets out to bring them home, one district at a time.

Story

A Talking Car

Johnny can hardly believe it in the journal. Cars did not talk back in his day, and now one wants to give V a job. What a time to be alive. So what is V waiting for?

After paying compensation for V's wrecked car, Delamain asks V to follow its Bombus drone into the factory, for a full tour by way of extra compensation. It admits that customer service is not up to standard right now. On the way, Delamain mentions plans to offer repair services one day. That will have to wait, as the shop is swamped with work after the vehicle failures, one of which wrecked V's car.

The Virus

Delamain thinks a virus has infected its network, but it has not found the cause yet. The costs could soon grow too high, and the crisis could attract unwanted attention. NetWatch is already poking around, and Delamain fears it may be reclassified as an illegal immigrant.

The Hunt

In the control room, Delamain asks V to find the missing cabs. It gives V their last known locations and a scanner. Once a cab is within range, the scanner lets Delamain reconnect with it and send it back to the garage. The seven hunts are side jobs of their own: Epistrophy: Wellsprings, Epistrophy: Northside, Epistrophy: North Oak, Epistrophy: Rancho Coronado, Epistrophy: Badlands, Epistrophy: The Glen and Epistrophy: Coastview.

Choices

How the Cabs Come Home

If V brings all seven cabs back, Delamain calls and asks to meet "face to face" at the headquarters. The receptionist asks for the scanner back, thanks V for the help, and pays an extra bonus. If V destroys the cabs instead, Delamain is disappointed. It sends a message ending the agreement because of the excessive damage.

Rewards

The job pays eddies, and bringing all seven cabs home adds a bonus of €$ 4,900.
