=== {{UL|Protection Racket}} ===
'''Briefing'''

Heartstopper runs a ''dance hall'' out around the Sunken City. I know, she's crazy, but nobody ever messes with her entertainers. The way I figure it, she's in need of some ''protection'' in case something bad happens to her business. {{darkorange|I'd like you to pay her a little visit and show her how bad it would be not to pay for that protection.}}

*{{green|You want me to mess her up, too?}}

No need to hurt her, {{darkorange|just smash up her place and work over her entertainment a little}}. That should get the message across. 

'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''

Remember, no need to bust up Heartstopper's face. After all, we don't need to seem... ''uncivilized''.

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=Heartstopper welcomes you into her establishment. That was her first mistake...|Primary=Start a racketeering ring on the Dregs|Secondary=2 supplies to smash up|Additional=** 3 of Heartstopper's dancers to rough up
** Talk to Heartstopper

:'''Heartstopper:''' {{GenderDialogue|male=Why hello there, darlin', you lookin' for some fine female companionship out here in the gumbo?|female=Why hello there, beautiful, can I interest you in a little slice of heaven? And by heaven I mean his name is Angel.}}}}

{{Mission Briefing|Contact=Heartstopper|Text=
I've got all kinds of amenities that you just can't find anywhere else in the gumbo. What would you like?

*{{green|You look like you could use some protection.}}

Protection? Oh {{GenderDialogue|male=honey|female=sugarplum}}, I got all the protection I need from my boys...

*{{green|Yeah, they aren't gonna cut it.}}

I'm flattered you want to work for me, {{GenderDialogue|male=big boy|female=darlin'}}, but I think I'd have better use for you as a client than another hired hand. All my {{GenderDialogue|male=girls|female=boys}} are ready to entertain.

What's your pleasure?

*{{green|I don't want to work for you. I'm here to collect.}}

Collect!? You tryin' to cut in on my business!?

*{{green|(Bust the place up)}}}}
