Georgio

Georgio calls himself the greatest scavenger in the Lower Levels. He brings extravagant claims, suspicious bargains and a remarkably persistent talent for getting arrested.

Story spoilers

Connected story in demo build 049-Rev3-L. The sequence below includes his spaceship and repayment. The normal story scheduler is skipped in endless mode.

What he brings to the counter

Visit	His pitch	What to watch for
First salvage	Relics of an ancient alien civilization	That is Georgio’s claim, not proof of authenticity
His invention	The “water of tomorrow”	An impressive sales pitch does not replace inspecting the item
Cigarettes	Supposedly genuine Heminwai cigarettes	The game has counterfeit inspection responses specifically for his goods
Upper Levels salvage	A lot offered at 25% off	His arrest dialogue identifies a break-in at an Upper Levels bathhouse
A secret find	Goods whose source he refuses to explain	Security identifies another break-in at the evidence room

Separate arrest branches accompany several visits. They are possible outcomes, not a requirement to arrest him every time he appears. Use the appraisal and trading tools to judge what is actually on the counter.

Funding the spaceship

Georgio eventually says his salvage ship is almost finished, but he has run out of Credits. You can decline or choose an offered loan amount. On accepting, the game records the amount and date, gives a Scav Token and creates an I.O.U. note. The offer is assembled from the current situation; this page does not give one fixed loan price for every save.

If you decline, he says he will find the remaining materials in the Dumping Grounds. That dialogue does not establish a separate reward for declining.

Does he pay you back?

There is a real repayment branch. Its completion adds four times the recorded loan to your cash and clears the outstanding amount. That is the total repayment, including the principal.

The return requires an outstanding loan and more than 25 in-game days since lending, and the scheduler also checks the rent-day counter. It is not an immediate payout or a promise that he arrives exactly 25 days later. Keep enough money for your own bills while waiting.

The waste he “returns”

A separate visit has Georgio bring back material you left at the Dumping Grounds, believing he is doing you a favor. The corresponding code checks the dumped nuclear-waste state. It is not a generic reward for being friendly to him.

The Salvage Ship Pilot is a different customer, despite the shared interest in space salvage.
