A man in his early forties sits at a cluttered desk, his prematurely balding head bent over a worn leather ledger. He wears a lab coat over practical travel clothing, and his ink-stained hands move methodically between inventory sheets. A mechanical pencil taps against the desk in steady rhythm.
He looks up as you approach, his expression shifting to mild surprise as you present the supplies.
You actually sourced everything? Impressive.
Quantities match. Quality acceptable.
completes the questHe sets down his pencil.
Take them to Wesley. The exchange is authorized.
Don't bother me with the details of handoff. That's between you and the Rangers.
endHe doesn't look up from his work.
No means no. I will not approve Institute requisition for those items.
You need to source them yourself. Purchase, trade, craft - I don't care how. Institute resources are allocated. This is outside budget.
endHe taps Wesley's requisition note.
Wesley wants Institute supplies. I'm not authorizing direct resource transfers for Wren Harper's theories.
But I have a counter-proposal. If you want those supplies delivered to the Rangers, you'll need to source them yourself.
quest: accepted
Good. Bring required items to Wesley
endquest: declined
He takes the list back.
Then Wesley doesn't get his supplies, and you don't get map access. Simple economics.

A tall, powerfully built man in his late thirties stands near the training grounds, watching recruits run combat drills. His Ranger uniform shows signs of field use, and medical pouches line his belt. He turns as you approach, his expression assessing but not unfriendly.
He examines the supplies you've brought, his eyebrows raising slightly.
You actually got everything? Leon made you source it yourself, didn't he?
He nods with grudging respect.
Of course he did. Typical Institute bureaucracy.
completes the questHe signals for a recruit to collect the supplies.
Not bad work. You should consider joining the Rangers. We could use people who get things done without endless committee meetings.
Your loss.
offers the quest Hidden (Part 5)We'll see.
offers the quest Hidden (Part 5)He glances at you.
Still waiting on those supplies.
endHe's reviewing patrol reports with a group of junior Rangers, marking routes on a crude map.
"This section near the ravine - double patrols until we confirm the raider activity has moved on."
He notices you and holds up one hand - wait.
After dismissing the Rangers with curt instructions, he turns to you.
Need something? Make it quick.
