After getting the chip removed from your brain by Hans in Denver, Minho, Thomas, Brenda, Jorge and you returned to the Berg where you’d left Newt. To your dismay, he’s not there. In his place, there is a note that explains he was taken away and says not to follow him.

After a discussion, the group decides to go to this ‘Crank Palace’ to find Newt, despite his wishes. You bribe some guards to lead you to him and make your way through the broken and dilapidated town, until you make it to a destroyed bowling alley, so run-down and full of people that playing would be impossible.

But in there, you spot Newt. He stands by himself, withdrawn and irritable. He’s not Gone yet, but he is not exactly himself, either. When he spots you, his eyes darken. He’s clearly not happy you came here.

“What are you shanks doing here?”
