WARNING: SPOILERS

While making the rounds, you come across Geezer in the mech bay, arguing with Yang over the best fusion cores. Before you can sneak out, Geezer calls you over:

"Hey Commander, maybe you can settle an argument for us. What's the best BattleMech engine? Boring-ass Yang here says: "Buy Quality, Buy Vlar blah blah blah." That's a crock of shit. Everyone knows the best engines are made by GM"

"Look, it's just a fact that for reliability in the field it doesn't get any better than a Vlar 300." counters Yang.

"I may be older'n dirt in dog years, but I ain't stuck in the past. General Motors' new 360XXL is a superb piece of engineering." retorts Geezer.

Option A - "Side with Yang":

"Sorry Geezer, but you know what GM stands for: "Got Mechanic?" I'll take reliability in the field."

A little later, Yang stumbles over a crate holding 3 Vlar 300 Fusion Cores with a note from Geezer that reads: "Just cuz they can fit anywhere don't mean you should put them everywhere. But they are pretty good. Just don't ask where I got 'em. If I told ya I'd have ta kill ya!"

• Add three Engine Core 300 to inventory

Option B - "Side with Geezer":

"The lighter the engine, the more fun you can have with the rest, Yang. Besides, you know Vlar just means Verified Loser at Racetrack."

A little later, Yang stumbles over a crate holding a GM 360XXL with note from Geezer that just reads: "No hard feelins, bud!"

Yang glances over at you, wondering: "Where the hell does he get this stuff?",
