Dialogue

As you open the machine up, you note a spare part sitting next to it, with markings on one side that look brand new.

Spray glue all over the interior.

Roughly unplug all the arcane connections.

Further loosen the rattling mechanism. (10% suspicion)

The machine sparks and shakes, then begins to emit noxious fumes. You suspect you broke it a little TOO well...

This can't be good...

Jade Brotherhood Inventor: Hey, that's mine! Go salvage your own parts!

Swap out all the new parts with old ones. (0% suspicion)

You pull out the newer part and swap back in the old. Almost immediately, a clicking starts up. You shut the panel, and the machine clicks to a halt.

Step away from the machine.

Jade Brotherhood Inventor: MORE faulty parts? Gonna give the salvage team a piece of my mind...

What should I be doing with this?

This equipment has been poorly fixed. Undoing that specific fix would break this item without drawing too much suspicion in your direction.

How will I know which fix to undo?

Maybe there's a guide nearby that can help? As disorganized as the Jade Brotherhood is, they must have some kind of method to this!

Right. Let me take another look at this... (returns to beginning)

I'll deal with this later.

Leave the machine alone.

The machine seems to be functioning, but there's a faint rattling sound.

Spray glue all over the interior. (10% suspicion)

The machine sparks and shakes, then begins to emit noxious fumes. You suspect you broke it a little TOO well...

This can't be good...

Jade Brotherhood Inventor: You want to get zapped? Touch my stuff again, and I'll zap you. You won't like it.

Jade Brotherhood Inventor: You want to get zapped? Touch my stuff again, and I'll zap you. You won't like it.

Further loosen the rattling mechanism. (0% suspicion)

The machine runs a bit longer, the rattling gradually growing in volume. You have enough time to close the panel and look casual before it grinds to a halt.

Step away from the machine.

Jade Brotherhood Inventor: Is it the coupling again? (sigh) I don't understand what's wrong...

Swap out all the new parts with old ones. (10% suspicion)

The machine sparks and shakes, then begins to emit noxious fumes. You suspect you broke it a little TOO well...

This can't be good...

Jade Brotherhood Inventor: You're trying to make me look bad in front of Chul-Moo, aren't you?

What should I be doing with this?

Leave the machine alone.

You note small singe marks inside the machine, as if something inside had been sparking.

Spray glue all over the interior.

Roughly unplug all the arcane connections. (0% suspicion)

You check the connections and find several loose ones, which you gently unplug. Moments after closing the panel, you hear the crack of sparks and the machine shudders to a halt.

Step away from the machine.

Jade Brotherhood Inventor: That's still broken? I thought it'd be an easy fix...

Further loosen the rattling mechanism.

Swap out all the new parts with old ones.

What should I be doing with this?

Leave the machine alone.

You open a panel on the machine and see an oily residue on many parts, as if a solvent had recently been applied to fix a gummy buildup.

Spray glue all over the interior. (0% suspicion)

The glue slides off the solvent at first, but it soon adheres. As you close the panel you hear things gradually grinding to a halt.

Step away from the machine.

Jade Brotherhood Inventor: Gee, thanks for making EVEN MORE work for me...

Further loosen the rattling mechanism.
