Payment: $25 flat rate
Murphy runs a small distribution centre in Midtown where he buys and sells various mechanical tools and gadgets, often on the black market. He distrusts police and other authority figures and is somewhat paranoid, often taking elaborate measures to ensure that he isn’t being followed or overheard. Despite being somewhat edgy and nervous, Murphy drives a hard bargain, and will stand his ground during a negotiation. This can lead to arguments and many traders in Midtown avoid dealing with him on this basis alone. However, Murphy has a knack for obtaining rare items and this can lead to lucrative trades for those who are prepared to work with him.

(Making a reference to a fellow trader who was attacked by thugs) “Some sicko slashed up Jimmy Three-Hands a couple of nights ago. Half of him got carted off to Midtown General, and the other half is still in an alley over by Crosstown. He’s lucky to be alive.”
(Patronising, dismissive as he addresses a courier who needs to go collect a package for him) “So... take down these coordinates, then sit your ass on that hoverbike and go get it.”
(Panicky, breathless as he suddenly realises that a visitor may be dangerous and wish him harm) “Who sent you? Who are you working for? You need to turn around and get out of here. Right now.”
