Carlos could have some really useful information. He's been among the punks before; or at least was, you don't really know if “ex-punks” are a thing; and may help you decide on what to do next. But at the same time, you don't want to seem <span class="mu-i">too</span> interested, after all, you're still just a civilian to everyone in your life. Everyone except Cheryl...
That's a good idea. You know Cheryl has access to police records and can probably share the anonymous tip with you; if anything she's probably want to help! You wait until Carlos has a moment and whisper to him.
<span class="mu-r">”...You know, Carlos, the city lets people put in anonymous tips and statements for the Peace Keepers. That way, nothing would get tracked back to you.”</span>
“I didn't know that... why are you telling me this?”
<span class="mu-r">”Well I just... I don't know. You seem so versed in punk culture and stuff, maybe the cops could really use the help. They seem pretty useless most of the time. If I knew something actually important I would probably tell them anonymously so the punks couldn't find out I did it, is all I'm saying...”</span>
You hope that wasn't too suspicious. After a few days, you decide to call Cheryl on one of the few payphones on level 5, decimating a good chunk of your UBI payment for the month. It's alright, you wanted to talk to her anyway. You start to talk about Peace-Keeper business, but she stops you.
<span class="mu-b">”Not all phone lines are <span class="mu-i">secure</span> Max, especially between levels. I'll just talk to you in person, I wanted to give you something anyway. This is perfect timing! We should meet on this day...”</span>
Should you ask about her birthday? You start to gather up the courage, falling silent for a second, but she interrupts you before you can ask.
<span class="mu-b">”Max? Hello? Is it a date?”</span>
<span class="mu-r">”A d- A date?! Uhh, yeah! Yeah totally!”</span>
<span class="mu-b">”Alright, see you then! Meet me at the gate, you know the one.”</span>
<span class="mu-r">”O-Okay! I will!”</span>
Dammit. Oh well.
