Pedro Brooks enters
Penny's Comfort Foods and is placed on the defensive when he finds
Vernon Green in conversation with the
main character, whom he recognizes from
Themis Law Firm. He continues to pressure Vernon to buy
DeliCart's premium services while accusing him of having forged the evidence found in the investigation, then goes on an unhinged rant blaming Vernon for having given him the dreams that led him to want to stay in the hyper-competitive
Stellis City, which pushed him to the abusive environment of DeliCart.
Luke records their conversation in hopes of obtaining evidence for the trial, and Vernon, on the verge of a heart attack from the incident, agrees to hire the MC as his defense attorney and cut ties with Pedro.
Luke and the MC walk to Luke's nearby shop to extract the memory card from Vernon's broken surveillance camera, finding proof that Pedro was present in the restaurant on the day of the contamination but not proof that he actually committed the act.
