• Logan BoyceUnknown

  A former businessman turned ruler of the Solars, Logan Boyce knows exactly how to manipulate people and wrap them around his finger. Beneath the clearly fake pleasantries, cunning smile, and constant movie references…

What your character writes in the journal as the quest progresses.

Ethan Cane's trail goes cold in the Solar Fields. The truth about his disappearance must be out there!

I found Ethan’s second recording. I think there are people here who know more about his disappearance than they let on.

I made it to the place Ethan mentioned. I should pay attention and investigate.

Ethan seems to have been at the warehouse at one point. Investigating there is my best bet for now.

Logan told me to head up to the top of the Solar Facility - that’s where Ethan was last seen, allegedly.

I reached the summit. Unfortunately, Ethan wasn’t there. Though he must have left something behind, as he has done so far!

Ethan is most likely dead. I should tell Robyn—that was his final wish.
