Balance Due Objectives

• Retrieve Udom's Board Seal
  Udom Bedford sold his official Board seal to Gladys in return for a large sum of money. Buy it back from her so that you can fly to Byzantium with official Board papers and turn in Phineas

Balance Due Walkthrough

This Quest is obtained by telling Udom Bedford that you know the location of Phineas Welles, and offering to help recover his Board Seal from Gladys. You'll need to buy or steal the Official Seal of Halcyon from Gladys safe on the Groundbreaker. If you can pick the safe lock in 1 second (around 55 lock pick skill), you can consistently steal it without reputation loss.  Attempting to stealing it with less skill may require you to Intimidate or Lie to the guards and gain a slight amount of negative Reputation with Groundbreaker instead of spending 8000+ Bit Cartridges.

Return the Seal to Udom to complete this quest and receive 70,000 XP, The Board Reputation up, Byzantium Travel Authorization Papers, Byzantium Navkey and to begin the quest The Puppet Masters.
