Job Gone Wrong is a short main mission that is a part of a larger quest - The Empty Nest. On this page, we show how to solve the problem of the robbers in Galbank in Akila.

Conversation with Shaw's gang

After talking to Marshall Daniel Blake, proceed to the intercom which is on the left side of the locked door to Galbank. You'll contact the leader of the robbers, and there are a few possible ways of diffusing the situation:

1. If during character creation you've chosen Wanted as one of your traits, you receive access to a unique dialogue option which when used will pass the first Persuasion check successfully. Once the first check is passed, there is only the matter of convincing the robbers to leave Galbank and voluntarily surrender to city services. Proceeding with this option will make Coe happy.
2. Alternatively, you can convince the robbers (two skill checks) that it would be a good idea to forgo their current plans. This, which is also the more difficult option, is available only for character with high Persuasion. Handling the situation like this will also make Sam Coe happy.
3. The final option is to say to the robbers that their demands are too high and talking is a waste of time. You need to follow this choice by entering through the back door of the bank and eliminating all of Shaw's robbers. This solution will make Sam Coe very unhappy.

With the situation taken care of, irregardless of the approach, talk to Marshall and recollect the events. This will conclude the mission, with you receiving XP and 4,800 credits.
