How to Start the Hard Luck Mission

Hard Luck Walkthrough
(Optional) Find Clover’s Diary
Head to the cubicles in CeltCorp to find Clover Mackenna’s Diary on a desk.
Convince Saburo to Take the Loan
Make your way to the Mining League building directly across from Trade Authority.
Speak with Saburo Okadigbo behind the counter. If you offer to help him, you’ll start the Saburo’s Solution mission, which is independent of this mission! To continue with the Hard Luck mission, tell him Clover MacKenna offered to pay his debt. You’ll have several options:
[Clover’s Slate] Read this. It might change your mind.
He had no idea of her feelings as she was so professional. He’ll accept the money.
[Persuade] You should take the money.
He’ll accept the money if you successfully persuade him.
Fair enough.
Nothing happens and you’ll have to pick one of the above options.
Return to Clover
No matter your choice, report back to Clover to complete the quest. As a reward you’ll receive 100 XP and 2000 Credits.
