How to start a task

Note that it should start automatically immediately after completing the previous mission in the chain called "Double Indemnity". If this does not happen, then try logging out of your account, wait 20-30 minutes and re-login - the corresponding task should appear in the log. Then talk to the hotel staff and Topaz.

Talk to Topaz and find Gallagher

When control of the characters is in your hands, chat with Topaz again. She will tell you some interesting information about Aventurine. Then talk to the Hounds standing behind the KMM manager. They won't tell you anything worthwhile.

Teleport to the Family Construction Bureau anchor located on the Dream Border and walk a little south. Start walking up to the landing to meet Gallagher.

However, at the foot of the stairs you will be stopped by a guard who will not allow you to go further. To make him give you the opportunity to go upstairs, talk to him again, and then select the option "Start the Clockwork" . Switch to emotion "Delight" and click the “Configure” button.

The guard will decide to leave his post and you will be able to chat with Gallagher. Immediately after this conversation, you will be transported to Velt and Acheron. Listen to their conversation. Ask the Galaxy Ranger about the places she has visited. Then watch a short video with Black Swan and Boothill.

This will complete the task and you will unlock the achievement "Icarus". As a reward, you will be given 600 development points, 80 thousand credits, 80 star jades, 5 traveler's guides, 300 hour credits, 5 purified ether and a musical composition. Plus, you will have access to the next quest – “This Side of Paradise”.
