Choosing which party to support is a tactical choice, since Bannon rewards the player character with a deathclaw gauntlet schematic and sells the player character apparel at a discount whereas Holmes gives no instant reward, yet has more material with which to make use of the 10% discount.A permanent 10% price increase at Potomac Attire.
A permanent 10% discount at Rivet City Supply. A permanent 10% price increase at Rivet City Supply. A permanent 10% discount at Potomac Attire. This mini-quest awards no immediate bottle caps or Karma, but one gains a 10% discount as a win situation. One can have a quick exchange with Danvers and leave before this happens. Some characters in the marketplace may tell the player character to leave or say "You shouldn't be here!" Stay too long, and nearby non-player characters may turn hostile. Lana Danvers can also be found in the marketplace after 9:00 pm. Just go up the stairwell to the top, and enter the door that says "Bridge Tower." At this point, one is presented with the choice to support either Bannon or Holmes. One can find Lana Danvers at the 3rd level of the tower. Bannon will tell the player character to report this evidence to Lana Danvers, but not to tell her that it is he who sent them on the task to find evidence against Seagrave. Seagrave claims that the message makes it clear that he is not going to cooperate with the slavers, and that the player character should inform Lana Danvers that Bannon is trying to blackmail him. Now the player character can talk with Bannon and Seagrave Holmes. The letter reveals that Seagrave is communicating with the slaver boss Eulogy Jones. Once inside, find Seagrave's incriminating letter (not marked as owned property, no negative Karma for snatching it), next to the footlocker under the bed. For no negative Karma, one can wait by the door until 7 am, Seagrave should be leaving his room then.
The player character can wander into Seagrave's room (Easy lock, negative Karma) in the mid-ship deck right by the door to the market district. If Bannon doesn't offer the option in his dialogue for this quest, one can start it by finding the incriminating evidence in Seagrave's room first and then by speaking to Bannon again.
He then tasks the player character to find incriminating evidence on Seagrave Holmes that will put to rest to his stealing of the chair. He will inform the Lone Wanderer that he believes Seagrave Holmes is planning to steal his seat in the city council. This quest can be started by speaking with Bannon at the Potomac Attire.
