So. There is a bug when trying to set up a Zoner Guard character.
After /droprep and shooting depots and getting back to Bethlehem to take the second set of bribes you'll find that only the bartender will offer a bribe. The other NPCs have empty speech bubbles. No matter how many times you switch between the different areas on the planet and back to the bar this does not change.
If you take the bartender's bribe though, the other NPCs then change their things to either a rumor or a bribe. Basically you have to take a leap of faith and hope there is a triple bribe or quad bribe under the empty bubbles.
Gheis, Duncan, and I have all recently encountered this. Anyone else?
