You will get a handful of choices while talking to Marco. Let’s have a look at what they are and the consequences for each.

• Ask Questions – You can show your badge and ask questions about the First. You can pick any choice after that to learn more and try to stop them. You will then get to a point where you can negotiate, attack, or let Marco rule with a free hand.
  • If you agree with Marco’s terms, you can leave without a fight, but your companion will disapprove. 
  • If you try to negotiate, Marco will not agree to it, but he can bribe you instead. You can accept the cash or attack him. Accepting the bribe will be disapproved by your companion
  • And finally, you can attack him and take the slate by force.

Whichever choice you pick, you will receive the Encrypted Slate. If you kill him, you can loot his body to get some rare rewards

• Stop Marco – You can show your badge and tell him that you are here to stop him. You can learn more about the First’s operations and about the Major’s intentions. The rest of the choice outcomes remain the same as the ones above. You will get the Encrypted Slate at the end of the conversation or fight.
• Attack Marco – Attacking Marco head on will put you against several enemies. You can pick this option if you are capable of fighting the mob. After killing Marco, loot his body to get several rewards like
  • Encrypted Slate
  • Calibrated Equinox Laser Rifle
  • 3KV LZR Cartridge ammo x 36
  • Credits x 874
  • Marco’s Keycard
