DeckCon 2056

 is an optional mission in Hong Kong.

Synopsis
''A chartered bus carries you from Kai Tak to a mid-range hotel in Tsuen Wan. All around you, the happy chatter of your fellow passengers fills yours ears. You hear tech-speak in a variety of languages and dialects; talk about new lines of drones and decks, arguments over innovations in datajack technology, and baseless speculation about the next season of Urban Brawl.'' ''Your guest badge - a glossy slip of laminated paper emblazoned with a flashy logo - hangs on a lanyard around your neck. Your ticket into the convention hall, and the only disguise that you should need.'' ''The bus drops you in front of the Harbour Spires hotel, and you promptly circle around back to find a service entrance. Is0bel should be waiting for you inside.''

Walkthrough

 * It is possible to complete this run without fighting at all and still receive the maximum rewards.
 * If your main character do not have Intelligence 4, take this mission only after you have learned about the House of Pork from the internet (after 3 or 4 missions), otherwise you'll not get the option to mention it.

Securing the Uniform

 * There are multiple ways to secure the uniform for Is0bel, but for maximum rewards check the "Getting Clams" section first.
 * If you are a rigger or have Racter in the party, you can send a drone through the vents and steal a uniform from the locker room.
 * If you are a decker, you can hack the security panel to turn on the kitchen's sprinkler system, driving everyone out of the locker room. Is0bel will complain about the state of the uniform if you use this method.
 * If you have Etiquette: Corporate or Etiquette: Socialite, you can talk your way into the locker room.
 * The last non-paying option is to help Larissa (a dwarf worker) punch a decker elf on the floor.

*Extra: Getting clams*

 * You'll need to be rigger or bring Racter with you. Do not aquire the uniform before talking to the chef, do it after getting the task from Larissa
 * Go ahead in the kitchen to talk with the chef, ask if smells like clams and if you can bought a uniform for your daughter, but don't buy it.
 * Open the door and take Larissa offer to punch a guy.
 * Now send the drone through the vent you passed before the kitchen and send the drone to get the uniform.
 * Go and punch the guy in the face and talk with Larissa, say you already have a uniform, but if she can pay you back with clams.
 * Use later on with Gobbet for 1 karma point.

Convention Floor

 * Before actually exploring the convention, go to the men's bathroom and talk to the Shady Man. He'll sell some drugs.
 * After you met up with Is0bel, at the left corner of the convention floor, you can get past a security guard with Etiquette: Gang or a Body or Decking check (or if you punched the elf for Larissa). Inside the decking area, you can pickpocket 4 people for spare change (¥204 in total).
 * You need to spend some time on the convention floor before Is0bel calls you on comm, so check some displays at your leisure.
 * Once you are ready, head to and interact with the "Perfect Persona" display.

Playing Cyrano

 * You'll need to guide Is0bel through several conversations. Note that if an unsuitable response is given, security will be triggered.
 * In her first challenge, choose the "boyfriend" option.
 * Before stepping into the elevator you can "pilfer" an Advanced Medkit in the large storage room to the right.
 * In the elevator, allow Is0bel to reveal her (and your) true identity, but threaten the elf that you two work for the Yellow Lotus.
 * In the confrontation with security and the drunken troll, select the "Checking to see if anybody wanted a drink" option. After that, select the "House of Pork" option if you cannot pass the Intelligence check. (This requires reading the "House of Pork" post on the BBS on your mission computer first, which becomes available after 3 or 4 missions.)
 * For Is0bel's solo conversation with the catering manager, select the "prank" option. Once this evolves into the double conversation, select the "Be my guest." option, where you "work for this hotel's owner." After that, choose the first option, where you are "here to check up on the vendors" to make sure the "venue isn't tarnished".
 * Before opening the VIP door, attempt to take the deck from the Binary Bard. Sweet-talk him into allowing you to have a look at it. This will give you paydata.

Visiting Rhombus

 * When talking to Rhombus, be civil; violence will cause a fight with security as you are about to leave.
 * Rhombus will share some insights into Is0bel's backstory, so keep the conversation going.
 * Once you are done talking, leave the hotel.

Aftermath

 * Back at the safe boat, continue to talk to Is0bel until she narrates to you the story of the boy who tricked the Yama King.

Bugs

 * After lying to the two security guards who catch Is0bel in the server room, they will wait for Is0bel to leave. If you run out of the room and quickly run back in, after finishing the dialogue sequence, the security guards will lock the door from the outside and Is0bel will be trapped. You will be forced to load from a previous saved game.
 * When entering the elevator to the VIP section the game sometimes won't acknowledge that you have,.forcing a reload.
