[ See, now Jack? Jack had a personal investment in all of this.
While he was largely content to sit on the sidelines and let idiots pour into his sector of the intake facility when shit went sideways, this particular instance? Nope. No way. He kept his plans quiet, relatively speaking, but it still wasn't very hard for anyone to guess why Handsome Jack would have such a vested interest in the registry bureau. He was like every other Westie in that sense. That bureau was his only chance for something better.
...Or at least that's what he'd tell you.
In truth, he had his own plans for ensuring his success, but his family's records weren't important to him so much as a daughter that was a very, very tightly kept secret. There weren't many people that knew of her existence at all, and that was exactly the way Jack would have things. But it gives him a bit more motivation than usual to go out into Old Town and even brave the elements just to hunt down a few names...
i. [ The first option, of course, is looking for information brokers. It's a lucrative business on Westerley, and over the years? Jack has built up a nice little network of contacts. He's a Company man through and through, but he knows who to rub elbows with and how to give payment in return for their service. Maybe you're one of those infobrokers, in which case Jack will be giving you one of his charming (?) smiles. ]
Sssso! You and me, pal. You got anything for me? Because boy. Let me tell you, if I get something good, I might just be able to give something good in return if you're catchin' my drift here.
ii. [ Or maybe an infobroker put you in contact with Jack, because he does have a little more information than most. You might know of him, since Jack isn't exactly shy, even for a Company man in Old Town. He's got something of a reputation, though whether it's a good one or not depends more on how you tend to view his work at the intake facility... But, for now? You're stuck with him. ]
Ohhhh man. Y'know? I've been thinking. It's gonna be great to find one of the dickmunchers responsible, don't ya think? I've- Look, I'm just saying, maybe I have an idea to get 'em talking.
