Head South from Stellar Bay and follow the east road. It will take you to Amber Heights. Upon entering, you will meet Rose, and you can ask her about the Iconoclasts, the faction that leads the town. She will tell you that their town is a community, and there are no jobs, no corporation and no paychecks involved. You can ask about the leaders, Graham and Zora. You can also ask abut Tucker, and she will point you to a nearby structure. There's a vending machine nearby and Bronson, the quartermaster, who will give you the task Odd Jobs.

You can persuade (55) or intimidate (55) to expedite things and get him to go back, or you can ask him what he wants to do about it. The last option will have him tell you to report that he is dead. You can express your concern about what that will do to Agnes, and then either ask for something that would prove a body, or reject the proposition.
