How’s it going, warrior? Still in one piece? Good. Look, there’s a little job for you. If you pull through, we could talk more about trust. Interested? Look here then, soldier. I had a pal who drove a tanker truck for the Factory. Managed to take the family out before the conflict, but returned to get the rest of his stuff and perished. He lived in a dorm, the bigger one. Can’t remember the room, I was there only once and was wasted as hell to boot. There was a poster of some chick on the wall for sure, the rest is foggy. To cut the long story short, he had an old bronze pocket watch with a chain. Sort of a family heirloom. If it wasn’t snatched by anyone, then there are two options – either it’s hidden in his room somewhere, or in his car. Find me these watches. I want to get them out for the kid, his old man was not exactly a dipshit, worth to be remembered.

Now that was unexpected! Not the most important of deliveries, but thanks anyway. It’s not related to business. This is, you might say, personal. Oh and just so you know, I won’t be found wanting, so keep it in mind for the future who’s best to work with.

Guide
If you need the Machinery key, search the jackets in room 205 on the second floor of the three-story dorms. Get past the debris at the doorway and check the jackets beside the wardrobe.
Use the key on the driver-side door of the tanker at the Customs construction site. Pick up the bronze pocket watch from the cab floor, extract with it and hand it to Prapor. Dying before extraction means another retrieval attempt.
