The guard is afraid of Anna

Learn how to handle the situation with the guard at the EOD's fish storage and what to do about Anna's request in The Sinking City walkthrough. Get tips and tricks!

Alright, so you've just picked up the 'Quid Pro Quo' case and Charles is heading to the Fish Market. He'll meet a woman named Anna who's part of the EOD, a charitable group. She'll tell you about a break-in at their fish storage and that the guard is spooked. Your job is to find the thief. Anna will give you the address (Shells, on Hawking Ln between Warren Rd and Liberty Rd) and a password, _I serve the sea_, to give to the guard. Head over there and you'll meet the guard, who introduces himself as Daryl Grimes. He'll explain that a thief tried to steal fish but got away. After talking to Daryl, you'll get access to the storage to investigate. Look around carefully; you'll find clues like a harpoon stuck in a crate, a crate of fish, a fancy bottle that looks like it's from a lab, and a dead cat-lobster hybrid. Don't forget to check the basement for a hidden door and the upstairs area with tools and a letter. Once you use your Mind's Eye and piece together the clues, you'll discover the EOD is giving away poisoned fish and that you'll need to visit the university. Daryl will beg you not to tell Anna it was his fault. You'll have a choice here: either promise to tell Anna or assure him you won't. If you choose the latter, he'll punish himself by working extra duty. When you report back to Anna, she'll plan to stop the fish distribution. She'll ask what to do about the poisoner, and you'll refuse to bring an end to him. She'll then ask about Daryl's actions during the attempted theft. You can either tell Anna the truth or lie and say he was knocked out. Be careful with this choice, as it might affect how Anna perceives Daryl.
