Character
Lou
Lou is the criminal mastermind of the new 1.0 stories. She only appears once you hold a Business Permit, plants a bomb that turns out to be a fake, leaves a box of toys in your care and finally comes back for 1,500 Credits. Since hotfix 1.0.0.2 she cannot be shot on any visit.

Lou's visits
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| First visit | A wanted visitor worth 1,500 Credits. Reporting her pays out, but she can return one morning from three days after the arrest. |
| The bomb | The device she leaves is a fake. Disarming it shows as much, and leaving it until night defuses it without ending the run. |
| 4 days later | A toy box arrives with her marked Wire Cutter, Plasma Cutter, Tazer and Kitchen Knife inside. |
| 3 days after that | She collects it and grades it Untouched, Peeked or Taken. Taking the toys brings a real bomb in retaliation. |
| 4 days after that | She comes back in disguise. |
| 7 days after that | The demand: 1,500 Credits. Weapons, ammunition and medical goods count at their negotiated value, and cash covers the rest. |
Worth knowing
- Ordinary copies of her toys do not stand in for the marked ones. Keep your own goods out of the box: collection moves them to the shop front before the box is destroyed.
- Answering “That's All I Have” only works when goods plus cash reach 500 Credits; below that comes the debt-bomb outcome.
- Since hotfix 1.0.0.1, reporting her no longer costs Black Market reputation.
