 You can frame [[Big Bret]] after picking up some false leads. Doing so will lead to Lenox attacking him. Bret will usually win the fight and kill him unless you intervene. This is, obviously, a bad outcome and you will lose the opportunity to progress in Jack's organization and eventually [[meet Azif]].

 There are two ways to learn more:

-Read the document and pay attention to the name list and the killing methods employed by the spectres, these will match with information you learnt at SGS morgue. If you didn't learn Mordre's real name from the patient records, you may also pickpocket him (91 skill required) for evidence, an [[Unknown Insignia]] which will be identified as [[Spectre Insignia]] when compared with the documents. (You must have the insignia in your possession when reading the documents.) At this point you may also ask Pasquale to do the autopsy again and look for signs of Spectre assassination, if you couldn't find out the cause of death earlier.

 You can also optionally confront Mordre directly before presenting the evidence to Lenox.

 **2. With sufficient Intimidation, you can claim you have evidence of him being a Spectre and knowledge of Operation Banishment, and that he should confess else you'll finish him off where Praetorian Security failed. He will ridicule you for judging him and end the conversation - and once you leave the map, he will later no longer be found. If you attempt to prevent him from disappearing by preemptively attacking him at this point, it will be considered an attack on an SGS member and will turn them hostile against you.
 **3. Tell him you were mistaken. He will not accept this and demand an explanation for being accused of murder, returning you to make this choice again minus this option.

-Talk to people in SGS about Patrick and, after speaking with Lenox a second time, you will learn that he worked for Core City's [[Praetorian Security]] before coming to SGS. Head to Core City for more clues. [[Jon the Beautiful]] can help you, but he wants food as usual - a very expensive [[Jon's Special]] this time. Go to Moe near the lower level elevator, buy the special and give it to Jon for information. You'll learn about [[Spectres]] and Praetorian Security's Operation Banishment.

 === Clues in South Gate Station ===
-Head back to your home station. You'll find [[Lenox]] in the cantina, at the same corner table where you first met Jack Quicksilver. He'll give you [[Patrick Pierce's Room Key (South Gate Station)|Patrick Pierce's Room Key]]. Go check his room in the private quarters level. You'll find a [[Morgue Keycard (South Gate Station)|Morgue Keycard]]. Use it to enter the mortuary on medical level and check the console for patient and inventory records. You will learn useful details such as Mordre's full name Michael Mordington and one curiously missing surgical needle. You can also examine Pat's body in one of the morgue drawers and directly discover the cause of his death with 100 effective biology skill. Alternatively you can ask [[Pasquale]] to perform the autopsy again once you have a reasonable suspicion on how Pat died.

 Once Lenox has the answers he was seeking for, Mordre will be gone from Mushroom Cove and won't be heard of again. Head back to Jack Quicksilver in Core City for your monetary reward.
