About
Security customer who shops and inspects
An Off Duty Officer shops for Treats and cigarettes on day 9 unless Skip Intro is selected. The base budget is 100–115 before customer modifiers. He still inspects like any Security visitor, so contraband in view or stolen goods he detects can interrupt this shopping visit.

- SPrepare for this customer
- A seller of goods that are hard to get elsewhere, equipment, a reward or an unlock the specialization's route depends on, a deadline or branch to decide in advance, or a danger of major loss such as game over, arrest or confiscation makes advance preparation worthwhile. A high priority does not mean every purchase or report is recommended.
- AUseful in the right situation
- A main buyer of your goods, a seller of some of your inputs, a side income, optional input, reputation opportunity or conditional risk matters when the matching stock, branch or cash need exists. Check the condition before reserving scarce money or goods.
- BOrdinary response is enough
- The specialization does not normally depend on this customer's goods or outcome. Serve an appropriate incidental trade when the visitor comes without planning the business around it; a low priority does not remove legal or safety consequences.

- What happens
- The customer wants Treats or cigarettes, but can still inspect.
Choices
Complete a trade
- Base budget is 100 plus an inclusive random integer from 0 to 15; he buys Treats and cigarettes.
- Only the selected goods are traded, and cash and ownership change at the agreed price. A buyer's budget is adjusted by reputation perks, Wild's Endorsement and Store Attractiveness.
- Reputation with this visitor's faction changes by the adjusted trade value ÷ 400. You also gain Favor of 10% of the trade value on Price Gouge and 5% on Mark Up (none on Thin Margins or Red Ink; a custom difficulty uses its own rate). Item legality, the faction and perks adjust the value along the way.
Finish the conversation and leave without trading
- Base budget is 100 plus an inclusive random integer from 0 to 15; he buys Treats and cigarettes.
- The visit ends with no cash or goods exchanged; anything that happened during the conversation still applies.
Recommended response
Sell accepted treats or cigarettes within his displayed budget, whose base is 100 plus a random integer from 0 to 15. Being off duty does not remove his inspection ability, so clear exposed illegal stock before calling him; dismissing is not a payment for protection.
Notes
- The trade choices describe a visit where nothing illegal is found. On arrival he checks the counter and the Display Case; if he finds illicit goods, you cannot send him away and an inspection can start. Being off duty does not exempt him from inspecting.
