Akra Missions (Second Visit)
After the events on Sithyrya, returning to Akra unlocks the second floor and a host of new quests, characters, and locations. The main conflict revolves around two powerful corporations, Biotech (led by Holoryx) and New Life (led by Nikolaos).
Accessing the Second Floor
To access the second floor, you first need to complete the A Battle for Power questline on the first floor. After the quest is resolved (either by siding with Galiano or Garth), you can use the main elevator in the commercial district to ascend. (Note: If you spared Garth instead of killing him, you must pass a Cunning check to successfully lie and hide this fact from Galiano and Zavx).
Zones of Akra (Second Floor)
The second floor is divided into several districts and key locations:
Commercial District
This is the central hub of the second floor.
- New Life Offices: The headquarters of Nikolaos's corporation. You will visit this location during the "Clash of Corporations" and "Save Seline's Son" quests.
- Biotech Offices: Holoryx's base of operations.
- Elevator: Provides access to the other floors of Akra.
The Pulse Nightclub
A popular nightclub on the second floor.
- Meet DJ Kafka: You can interact with the DJ.
- Fun Scene (Dominant Roles): If you have high respect in Akra, you can find a submissive patron in the dark room. This leads to a scene where you can dominate and engage in watersports with him.
- Fun Scene (Submissive Roles): If you have low respect, you may be cornered by a group of patrons in the dark room, leading to a gangbang scene.
- Meet Diego Cortes: Can be either a Dominant or Submissive partner.
Thuul's Penthouse
You can visit the penthouse of Thuul, the Verdanti owner of an exotic food company. The penthouse operates under a strict set of 15 Master/Slave rules, such as Rule 10 which requires you to always be naked indoors.
- Fun Scene (Bottoms): If you are playing a bottom role, after completing a hunt, Thuul will offer a "special reward." Accepting leads to a detailed sexual encounter where he uses his plant-like appendages to explore your body.
- Fun Scene (Tops): If you are a top, you can choose to dominate Thuul. This involves a scene where you can use one of his own plant creatures (a "Grasper") to restrain him before engaging in a sexual encounter.
The Silky Blindfold
The Silky Blindfold (TSB) is an exclusive BDSM club run by Master X (Xperiment). You will visit this location as part of the Save Seline's Son quest.
- Bottom/Submissive Entry Route: If you enter submissively or get captured, you will be blindfolded, stripped, and forced to swallow relaxant pills. You are bound by the club's rules to crawl on the plush burgundy carpets and can be locked into mechanical restraints in the bathroom to be used as a urinal by Grikari and other alien patrons.
- Meeting Xperiment: You must speak with Xperiment, the club's owner, to gain information about Levi. Your dialogue choices will affect your interaction.
- Fun Scene with Levi: After speaking with Xperiment, you will find Levi. You have the option to engage in a sexual encounter with him. The scene varies based on whether you are dominant or submissive. ** Dominant Route: You can choose to dominate Levi, leading to a scene where you fuck him. ** Submissive Route: You can allow Levi to dominate you.
- Freeing Levi: To free Levi, you must convince Xperiment.

Character Encounters & Stores
Zavx
Location: Thuul's Penthouse (Akra Second Floor). Role: Slave / NPC.
Zavx is an 18-year-old dark-blue Xeonian slave encountered in Thuul's domain. He is referred to as "The other slave" in variables.
- Interaction: You can interact with him during visits to Thuul. If he believes you killed Garth, he will be hostile. Offering a sincere apology ("I'm sorry, I really am") reduces his hostility and increases Friendship.
- Recruitment/Freedom: While you can express interest in him, full recruitment depends on your standing with Thuul and specific dialogue choices regarding his "ownership."
- Romance/Sex: Scenes are available if you gain access to him (often involving Thuul's "sharing" dynamic). If you play the submissive route, Thuul grants Zavx permission to use you as a "slave's slave," leading to scenes where you are forced to do his chores on all fours and he visits your room at night.
