The conversation with El Gallo is fraught with pitfalls, but you can intimidate him, or pacify him with information he finds useful.

During the Gig Going Up or Down? you’ll encounter El Gallo. Of the many ways to deal with this Gig, diplomacy is one of them, but El Gallo does not… possess a stable disposition, and is easily provoked. Here is how your conversation with El Gallo can play out:

• “You have scandium rods, right?”: Advances the conversation to the next step.

  • “You won’t get anything fixed in that state.”: Advances the conversation to the next step.

    • “Keep talking like that.”: Provokes El Gallo into attacking you.
    • “Nope, none at all.”: El Gallo gives you permission to take the rods.

  • “My client gave me the green light to end you.”: Provokes El Gallo into attacking you.

• [Technical 5] “I’ll tell you how to fix them without rods.”: El Gallo gives you permission to take the rods.

• “Hey, relax.”: Provokes El Gallo into attacking you.

• “Nothing. Just leaving.”: Ends the conversation with El Gallo dismissing you. Getting close to the container holding the Scandium Rods will provoke him.

If you want to obtain the Scandium Rods without provoking El Gallo, you’ll either need to advance the dialogue until you get a chance to say “Nope, none at all.” or pass a [Technical 5] check earlier on.
