Compare the customer with the portraits on the poster. A title such as Lower Level Citizen tells you nothing, because wanted people use them.

Wanted List and Bounties
Officer Lun hands you the wanted list on Day 1, with one rule: if a face on it walks in, press the alarm before they leave. Nine people are on the poster, worth 75 to 1,500 Credits each. Reporting pays at once, but several of them are worth more as contacts, and some arrests start a problem of their own. Check who you are dealing with here before you reach for the button.

How reporting works
Hit the button under the counter before they leave. Security makes the arrest and the bounty lands on your account.
A false report is fined, and Wrongful Reports get their own line on the end-of-run summary.
The wanted ledger
Bounties are in Credits and grouped by faction. Names link to each character's page, which carries the portrait to compare.
| Name | Shows up as | Bounty | At your counter | If you report |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lower Levels6 | ||||
| The Butcher | Lower Level Citizen | 450 | Back from the Abandoned Sections with a satchel of goods, a scav's journal among them. | Pays out and stops his returns, then starts a delayed vandalism sequence. |
| Li Bei Wen | No cover title | 400 | Claims to be a framed researcher and sells samples to fund an escape. | Cancels his return, so you lose the route to the Nomore formula. |
| James Bailey | Lower Level Citizen | 300 | Sells spare gear, 33% off if you take everything. | Security takes him in for ambushing its officers. |
| Leroy | Security inspector | 300 | Walks in acting as an officer on inspection. | Security takes Leroy in for impersonating an officer. |
| John Smith | No cover title | 125 | Says his name is so common that Security keeps mistaking him for a robber. | Security takes him in, whatever he says about his name. |
| Juan | Lower Level Laborer | 75 | Sells extra food, with more to come. | The smallest bounty, and you give up the promised food. |
| Revolution2 | ||||
| Odin Haraldsson | No cover title | 300 / 350 | Asks you not to press the alarm, then offers to buy guns, ammo, armor, poison, supply crates and access cards. | The bounty rises to 350 on later visits. Report Odin once the deal is struck and you get called a traitor on the way out. |
| Arthur Lafleur | Lower Level Citizen | 100 | An activist from the failed revolution who only wants food and materials. | The capture makes the station news. |
| Black Market1 | ||||
| Lou | No cover title | 1,500 | Turns up after you buy the Business Permit, and cannot be shot on any visit. | Pays in full with no Black Market reputation loss, but she can return one morning from three days after the arrest. |
Bounty or contact?
You can let a wanted customer go and trade with them instead. Three of them have a longer story, so weigh these before the alarm.
Odin Haraldsson
Stay quiet and Odin leaves a card you can call when you have stock. Odin's people pay less than other buyers, but they take contraband too.
Odin's page →Li Bei Wen
Let the visit finish and he schedules a supply visit three days later. Bring chemicals to that visit and the finale hands you the Nomore formula note and two high-purity injectors.
Li Bei Wen's page →The Butcher
Leave him be and he can return every seven days. Report him and the bounty comes with vandalism, then a Meat Cleaver and threat note on your counter.
The Butcher's page →After you report The Butcher
Collect the 450 Credits
The arrest is recorded and his weekly return stops, but a separate delayed vandalism sequence begins.
Read the note
After the vandalism, a counter delivery leaves a Meat Cleaver and a threat note. It is a warning to arm yourself rather than a request to fill.
Call in Sawyer
From the day after the cleaver arrives, Sawyer can offer help. Listen to the offer, then open Joe Wild's services for Butcher Hunting at a 500-Credit base fee and activate it.
Check the night log
The hunt finishes overnight, and the crew's message in the log is your proof that it is over.
Li Bei Wen's supply run
Fewer days means a faster finale. Each accepted item counts once, and the delay never drops below 2 days. Bring nothing and he rebooks for seven days later.
| Common Chemicals | Restricted Chemicals | Finale delay (days) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 | 13 |
| 0 | 1 | 10 |
| 1 | 1 | 6 |
| 0 | 2 | 3 |
| 2 | 1 | 2 |
Beyond the poster
Contraband sellers
A later instruction from Officer Lun widens the job to every seller carrying mid-level contraband or worse. Security pays by how much it seizes, though your reputation may suffer.
Contraband →Known Snitch
This starting perk keeps every wanted customer away from your store and costs 10 reputation with both the Revolution and the Black Market.
Starting perks →Augs are a different call
Being wanted is no Aug tell. Augs get the gun, and the alarm only helps them escape.
