The Outer Worlds Task Guide

Conrad
Speak with Conrad and you learn he doesn’t have any money to pay. You can suggest he gives Silas an IOU, but that requires collateral. Head into the next room, there’s a document sitting on the small table near the corpse. Then return to Conrad and tell him to use the gold teeth as the collateral.

You can find the gold teeth later. When you go to the Botanical Lab and speak with Adelaide. Once you reach Adelaide, search the back room. There is a sign on the wall that reads “Only You”. Nearby, on the worktop, there’s a small tray with the Gold Teeth. Pick them up and return them to Conrad.

Martin Abernathy
Simply speak with Martin, be sympathetic to his needs and he will pay you the money. He also has a side quest.

Phyllis Granger
She’s inside the plant. You can speak with her and she pays the fees upfront, no problems. However, if you have already spoken with Conrad, you can talk with her again and question her about the Gold Teeth. Nothing else happens, just an option.

Ludwig Miller
Speak with Ludwig. You can offer to join the Resistance to get another quest. When prompted about the grave payment, lie to him and he’ll pay you the cash.

Now you can return to Silas. There’s no need to have him dig up the corpse for the gold teeth as you’ve already found them. You get some Experience Points, 300 Bits, and Spacer Choice reputation. You can persuade him for a further 150 Bits.

Speak with Nelson Mayson in Fallbrook, he’s in the first building on the left as you enter. Follow the objectives until you speak with Bertrand. You can select the [Medical 30] to avoid killing him and any other Sprats. Then return to drugs to Nelson. You get Sublight Salvage and Shipping Reputation as well as XP and Bits, additional rep if you turn in Bertrand.
