How this step completes
With this step active, interact with this character to start its story conversation:
If another queued conversation plays first, finish it and interact again. The required story interaction completes this step; the target must still be accessible.
Verified entry into this step
Complete the preceding step below and let its follow-up scene return control. This prepares the conversation with the character listed here. Earlier access and this page’s own completion conditions still apply.
Preceding encounter:
First... Sludge? · Win my first battle against the zombies.
Complete the current objective and retain its own conditions. These are the verified follow-up actions and results; earlier access, other control restrictions and later story triggers still apply. This does not certify the full activation chain or unusual-save recovery.
Connected quest steps
Completing this quest starts
- Wharf Rats · Ask the mysterious person at the Dockside Club about a romance novel.
- Herbert and? · Procure the Romance Novel through a mysterious person in the Dockside Club. Then bring it to Herbert in the Barracks.
These are direct starts in completion scripts. Separate entries can be alternative routes, not a checklist. Event-driven starts and other conditions are listed separately where verified.
Recorded preceding quests
The checks above apply while this quest is active. This page includes the source-checked actions, dialogue steps and transitions shown above. The full earlier activation chain, intervening events, area access and dialogue visibility have not all been verified.
