Choices and Consequences[]
Consequences of Previous Missions[]
- The conversation variant you get is determined by your reputation with Scarlet. Reputation of +6 opens up the possibility of romance.
Consequences in Following Missions[]
- If you do not speak with Scarlet at all by skipping this mission, you'll be unable to meet her in the Alpha Protocol facility, as the interrogation room where she normally appears would be empty. Leland will also not ask you about the evidence footage, since you never gave it to Scarlet.
- If you spared Omen Deng and contacted him instead of Parker, he will reveal that Scarlet's role in Sung's assassination and will ask you to kill her. If you contacted her here it would allow you to confront Scarlet with that information in the interrogation room at the facility, and decide her fate.
