Her story, visit by visit
| When | What happens |
|---|---|
| Fresh food | She criticizes the shop, wants fresh and varied food and insists the authorities got it wrong. |
| Settling in | Still barred from going home, she rents a room across from the Commissary and buys household goods. |
| Selling up | Money runs short, so she sells belongings and keeps hoping to clear the family name. |
| Asking for food | A thief takes the last of her money and her mother is convicted. She asks for anything you can spare, with nothing to pay. |
| Scavenging | Only if you gave her food: a roommate has taught her to scavenge, and she sells finds to raise 800 Credits for an investigator. |
| The drive | Four days after the fund is complete she reveals research that could restore seed production in standard Nutrifruit. A threat follows. |
Worth knowing
- Only a gift at the food request counts as help. Selling her food on earlier visits does not.
- Her fund grows by what you actually pay for her finds, not their reference value; at 790 Credits a 10-Credit sale completes it.
- Return the drive and her mother is freed into Lower Levels exile, with 300 Credits for you. Leak it and her mother dies, Eleanor joins the Revolution and the Nutrifruit strain is freed the next day.
- An arrest ends her story early.
