Probably Stolen
Eleanor’s Care Package: the trap and the safer story choice
To keep Eleanor’s story going, do not put Care Package for Eleanor on the counter during her Out of money or Scavenging visit. Wikily documents this as an arrest trap, not a helpful delivery.
When to expect the package
The community storyline places Eleanor’s first visit on day 23 and the purported uncle’s visit on day 28. He offers Care Package for Eleanor for free; Wikily lists it as worth 300 Credits and marked stolen. Eleanor does not appear in Endless Mode. If you are waiting for this event there, the mode is the first thing to check, not your stock.

Reporting the visitor opens a warning branch
Wikily says you can report the uncle once the package is on the table. From day 29 Eleanor can visit for a warning, and says she has no uncle. That branch offers a choice of a HydraTech Micro Water Purifier or L’ESSENCE Pheromone Perfume as a free gift. Decide whether you want this warning branch before treating the package as a normal handoff.

Food and the package have different outcomes
Her Out of money visit is documented for day 29, or 3 days after the warning. She asks for food with a budget of 0. Turning her away ends her story, while giving free food counts as help and doubles reputation from that trade. Placing the Care Package on the counter during this visit instead gets her arrested and ends the story with a stolen-goods report reward.

Wait for the documented status change
The same trap applies during the Scavenging visit, documented 2 days later. Wikily says the Care Package loses its stolen status when she leaves that visit; do not assume it is harmless while she is still at the counter. The following sections summarize the later investigation and its consequences. Timings and outcomes remain attributed community documentation, not our own playtest.

After the package: funding the investigation
Spoilers follow. In Wikily’s storyline, 4 days after the scavenging visit Eleanor starts raising 800 Credits for an investigator. She offers finds at 30% off and returns every 4 days until she has enough. Use this condition to track progress; the source does not give one fixed completion day for every run.
The drive arrives 4 days after she has 800 Credits. A Black Market Thug demands it the next day and offers 300 Credits; Wikily says he cannot be arrested or shot. On the following day, the documented choice is to return the drive for 300 Credits or leak it to the Lower Levels paper. These are community-recorded story conditions, not our own playtest.

Compare the drive outcomes
Wikily records the same SYNC Self-Refilling Neuroactive Perfume farewell gift 2 days after either choice. After a leak, Eleanor joins the Revolution and buys weapons with a budget of 350 Credits. From the day after that choice, new Nutrifruit Seeds lose Infertile and are worth 8 Credits instead of 40. Seeds already owned keep Infertile and are worth 4 Credits; the Nutrifruit Seed Heist stops for the rest of the run. Do not assume the leak improves seeds already in your inventory.
