"Yoink! I'll be taking that! And that! Ooh, don't mind if I do!"

Thieves are petty yet crafty criminals who can't keep their hands to themselves. You were forcefully given a pacifism implant after your last arrest, but you won't let that stop you from trying to add to your collection.

Art of the Steal

Unlike other antagonists, staying out of trouble is almost a requirement for you because of your implant. You can only run if Security picks a fight with you, and because you work alone you don't have any friends to pull you out of danger.

But against all odds, you'll sucessfully swipe what you want using determination, sleight of hand, a few tools and your pickpocketing skills.

The pickpocketing skills you have give you a major advantage: the ability to take things from people without them even noticing. With a little practice you can steal their wallet and keep up a conversation at the same time.

It is advised to get a pair of gloves as your fingerprints could still be traced back to the stolen goods if they're found.

Tools of the Trade

You've got two more aces up your stolen sleeves: your beacon and your satchel.

Your beacon provides safe passage home for trinkets that may not be easy to carry with you on the evac shuttle. Simply find a secluded part of the station to unfold the beacon, then set its coordinates to your hideout. Any shinies near it will be teleported to your vault when the shift ends, fulfilling your objectives.

However, this will instantly out you if found and make it extremely easy for people to reclaim their "missing" possessions. Make sure to hide it well!

Your satchel contains... well, whatever you remembered to pack. You can select two pre-made kits to help you complete grander heists.

Centerpiece of the Collection

Your kleptomania will take you places. One day, you'll feel like stealing a few figurines. Another day, you'll feel like stealing an industrial machine.

No matter. They'll all be a part of your collection within a matter of time.

You can steal items by having them on your person when you get to CentComm. Failing this, you can steal larger items by leaving them by your beacon.

Some of the more animate objectives may not cooperate with you. Make sure they're alive and with you or your beacon when the shift ends.

Things that you may desire include but are not limited to:
