Find the Berry Mule
We found the Berry Mule orbiting Triton, a moon of Neptune in the Sol System. Once you locate the ship, approach it, then hail the ship. After some dialog, the ship’s new captain will allow you to dock. Do so, then board the ship. Upon entering the ship, Gustavo will strike up a conversation with you. You’ll have 3 options:
Persuade
If you can persuade him, he’ll let you keep the ship. Untie Erick then report back to Jane. As a reward, you’ll receive some credits and 110 XP. As a plus, she’ll offer you a discount in her shop.
He keeps the ship and Erick goes free
He’ll agree to this deal. Free Erick then return to Jane to report the sad news about her ship. As a reward, you’ll receive some credits and 100 XP.
Attack
After defeating the gang, free Erick. He’ll be deeply disturbed by what he just witnessed but you’ll have no other ramifications from taking them all out. When you report back to Jane, she’ll be unhappy that you killed them but happy that she has her ship. As a reward, you’ll receive some credits and 100 XP. As a plus, she’ll lower the price of her merchandise.
