Synopsis[]
Lillian, Terra 2's friendliest outlaw, evidently dropped a rare, limited-edition Spacer's choice cigarette case during a scrap with raptidons. She'd be thrilled to get it back.
Walkthrough[]
Lillian is an outlaw who has been hired by Cassandra O'Malley to keep watch for Auntie Cleo reinforcements outside the Covert Lab. She is on a break and will speak to the Stranger rather than shooting on sight like the other outlaws. During the conversation, she explain that she was near the Raptidon Pens when the raptidons got loose and, in the ensuing escape, lost her cigarette case. She's happy to pay a reward if it is returned to her but doesn't expect anyone to go retrieve it for her, due to the danger involved in doing so. The quest is started when the Stranger says that they will go take a look for it.
The Raptidon Pens are located south of the Covert Lab where Lillian is stationed. Lillian's cigarette case is located on a crate inside the pen which is inhabited by hostile raptidons. The electric fence to the raptidon pens is disarmed which means they are able to charge anyone that they see approaching via the road. The electric fence is activated by using the terminal on the walkway above the pens. With high enough stealth, one can sneak to the terminal and activate the gate, trapping the raptidons inside the pen and making them easier to kill. It is also possible to drop down on the walkway from the surrounding hillside and avoid being detected by the raptidons that way.
After retrieving the cigarette case, return to Lillian. There are several options for resolving this quest.
- Use Lie 25 to convince Lillian that there was no way to retrieve her cigarettes and that they have been left in the pens. This completes the quest and grants 9,000 XP and the Commemorative Cigarette Case as a reward.
- Tell Lillian that one has her cigarette case but that she isn't getting it back. This irritates Lillian and leads to her turning hostile.
- Return the cigarette case to Lillian with no conditions. This completes the quest and grants 9,000 XP, 625 bits and the Anarchist's Cookbook as a reward.
- Use Persuade 25 to return the cigarette case to Lillian but ask her to put in a good word with her boss, Cassandra O'Malley. Lillian will tell the Stranger that Cassandra is pinned in the lower levels by Auntie Cleo guards and will radio ahead to tell her that the Stranger is coming. This completes the quest grants 9,000 XP as a reward.
- Use Intimidate 45 and taunt Lillian about having the cigarette case, daring her to fight. Lillian refuses, completing the quest and granting 9,000 XP and the Commemorative Cigarette Case as a reward.

Resolutions[]
- "You recovered Lillian's cigarette case but convinced her that you weren't able to recover them safely."
- "You recovered Lillian's cigarettes but told her you aimed to keep it. She did not take this kindly."
- "You returned Lillian's cigarettes to her."
- "You recovered Lillian's cigarettes and returned it in exchange for a kind word on your behalf with the pamphlet-happy outlaw leader."
- "You recovered Lillian's cigarette case. After you pointed out that you could beat the raptidons when she could not, the outlaw "agreed" to let you keep the item."
Notes[]
- Killing Lillian will botch the quest. The exception is if she first turns hostile due to the Stranger telling her that they are keeping her cigarette case.
- It is advisable to complete this quest before entering the secret lab as Lillian may turn hostile depending on one's actions.
