Learn how to handle the 'Quid Pro Quo' case in The Sinking City 2, including investigating the fish storage, dealing with Anna Liddel, and the choice to poison the fresh haul.

Alright, let's dive into the 'Quid Pro Quo' case in The Sinking City 2. This one starts with a bit of a grim discovery at the Fish Market. You'll head there after checking the Police Department archives and finding Police report №19-0451. At the market, you'll meet Anna, who's part of an organization called the EOD, helping people with food and patrols. She'll give you a task to prove yourself: investigate their fish storage because someone tried to break in. She'll give you the address (Shells, on Hawking Ln between Warren Rd and Liberty Rd) and a password, "_I serve the sea_", for the guard, Daryl Grimes. Once you get to the storage, Daryl will tell you about the attempted break-in. You'll need to investigate the scene yourself. Keep an eye out for: * A harpoon stuck in a crate near the door. * A crate of fresh fish by the basement stairs. * A fancy-looking bottle, possibly from a lab, with powder at the bottom. * A dead cat-lobster hybrid near the bottom of the stairs – use your Mind's Eye to see it was the last thing it ate. * A hidden door in the basement leading to a torture chamber. * A table with unfinished wooden items upstairs. * A rack of tools. * A letter from the orphanage on a book pile. After gathering these clues, you can use retrocognition. You'll see the thief pouring poison into the fish crate and Daryl's harpoon attempt. This leads to the discovery that the EOD is distributing poisoned fish. You'll need to head to the university next. Back at the Fish Market, you'll talk to Anna again. She'll want to stop the distribution and deal with the poisoner. You have a choice here: refuse to bring an end to the poisoner, or agree to report them. She'll also ask about Daryl's actions; you can tell the truth or cover for him.
