James Bailey
James Bailey is a wanted man who walks in as a plain “Lower Level Citizen” selling extra Security gear: a Stun Baton, a handgun and a keycard at 33% off. Reporting him pays a 300 credit reward, but if you let him go he returns every 14 days with more gear. Security’s own words describe him as the man “ambushing our officers”.
When does James Bailey first appear?
He has no fixed day. He is one of the random “wanted” visitors, who begin once the early tutorial period ends (normally from day 14; with a skip-intro start from day 5) and arrive with a chance that grows each day without one. He visits under the generic name Lower Level Citizen; the wanted record attached to him carries the name James Bailey. Wanted visitors that have already been arrested are not drawn again.
What does he sell?
Bailey only sells; he does not buy. His first visit offers three items for sale at 33% off if you take everything:
- a Stun Baton,
- a Sentinel Mk. III. handgun in fair condition,
- a Disposable Keycard (Security).
Does he come back?
Yes, as long as you have not reported him. Counting from the day you first met him, he returns on every 14th day. He says he has Security “surplus” gear, again at 33% off. On a return visit he always has a Stun Baton and 3 to 6 packs of 10mm Ammunition. Each of the following is added with a chance of 35% plus the current day, capped at 100%: the handgun, a Disposable Keycard (Security), a Security Department Supply Crate or a Security Department Evidence Locker (a 50/50 choice), and a PulseGuard Stun Gun.
What happens if I report him?
The first time you try to report him, he pleads: “Hold on, don’t do that.” He says that if you do not report him he will keep bringing you Security gear that you can resell. A second attempt files the report. He swears, a Security officer shouts “FREEZE!” and he is arrested. The reward is 300 credits. After the arrest he no longer returns.
