  "text": "~ start\nif is_quest_completed\n\tWesley: Your payment's recorded. Your conditioning is next. [#end]\nelif is_quest_accepted and are_quest_requirements_met\n\tWesley: *He counts the ore, then opens the sacks of roots and electronics.*\n\t\tFifty of each. That settles it.\n\tWesley: *He records the delivery in a ledger, then writes your name beneath the next conditioning slot.* [#complete_quest]\n\t\tThese go to Frontier's stores. We never have enough coming in. You're paid up for conditioning.\n\t- I'm ready for conditioning\n\t\tWesley: [#load_quest=7836e31b-0a82-4a4a-b28e-91842e55eb29]\n\t- I'll return later\n\t\tWesley: Your name stays on the list. Back to work, then. [#end]\nelif is_quest_accepted\n\tWesley: Fifty [Tungsten Ore], fifty [Yerba Mansa Root], fifty [Advanced Electronics Waste]. Bring them here to Frontier (location 34,21). [#end]\n\t\tAll can be gathered outside the Red Zones. Tungsten traces give flakes; five flakes process into one ore if you can't work a full node yet.\nelse\n\tWesley: *Behind him, a recruit gets out of a strange-looking medical chair, rubbing pale circles on her wrists. A thick cable runs from the chair through a locked steel partition.*\n\t\tHeading past the scary signs to the Red Zone? You'll need [CELL Attunement]. Same as her. Same as me.\n\tWesley: The Scar does something that pulls your body out of time. At first, it messes with your sense of time. Then your tissue starts breaking down. Like radiation, but much worse.\n\tWesley: Fortunately, folks from the Institute found a way around it.\n\t\tThis chair exposes you to a little of that interference while a CELL holds you steady. Repeated sessions \"teach\" your body to resist the Scar's interference.\n\t- What does it do exactly?\n\t\tWesley: Well, I'm not sure even the eggheads from the Institute fully understand it. I certainly don't.\n\t\t\tSomething about the exposure leaves its signal imprinted on you. Afterward, it keeps holding you in step, even out past the station.\n\t- Everyone who goes out there does this?\n\t\tWesley: Everyone who means to stay alive. Institute chambers have better upholstery. Ours does the job.\n\tWesley: *He opens a stores ledger. Several entries have been crossed out and replaced with smaller numbers.*\n\t\tNothing's free here. We give you time on the chair and someone who knows when to switch it off. Frontier needs something in return.\n\tWesley: As usual, we need resources. Let's say [Tungsten Ore], [Yerba Mansa Root] and [Advanced Electronics Waste] - fifty each.\n\t\tOur stores are always running low. You want to go farther out; we need supplies coming in.\n\tWesley: [#quest_info=4c691282-9871-41e2-8840-943b763f9025]\n\tif is_quest_accepted:\n\t\tWesley: [quest: accepted] [#end]\n\t\t\tGather what you need outside the Red Zones. Bring it back here to Frontier (location 34,21). Back to work, then.\n\telse:\n\t\tWesley: [quest: declined] [#end]\n\t\t\tThe offer stands. Stay this side of the signs. Back to work, then.\n=> END\n"
