Dazed and Confused

Dazed and Confused is a side job in.

Walkthrough
After completing You Know My Name, V is contacted by Mr. Hands that he has received an interesting item of business. Lina Malina, a local Braindance celebrity, claims that she has been kidnapped and is currently held against her will in a rental studio by the name of Brainporium.

Brainporium can be found atop Jason Exiled in Dogtown, Pacifica.

Inside the Brainporium, V can find a man being held captive in a room, Edgar Tool, claiming that he's Lina Malina, and another man, Shank, standing guard outside. V can ask what's going on, and Shank will ask V to head upstairs first so he can explain the situation. Alternatively, V can convince Shank to let Tool go, or use the code 1111 on the door, though this will end the mission early with no rewards beyond a thank you kiss from "Lina".

Shank will explain that Tool has been a big fan of Lina, but that after a power outage while watching one of Lina's BD's Tool now believes himself to be Lina. After talking to Shank about Tool's situation, V has the option of calling either Viktor Vektor or Judy Álvarez about the situation. Either one will give the advice of inducing cognitive dissonance, and a new side objective to find an item with personal importance to Tool will appear.

After going to Lina's residence, V will have some options to convince her.
 * Telling Lina the truth about Tool's condition will fail the quest.
 * You can pay her €$10,000 to participate in the braindance.
 * You can send her the picture you took of Kerry Eurodyne and Us Cracks to persuade her if I Don't Wanna Hear It has been completed.
 * She can be convinced by mentioning Rachel Casich if They Won't Go When I Go has been completed.
 * A Corpo V has an option to convince Lina to participate in the BD shoot.
 * You can tell her that there was a last minute change to her schedule if you've broken into her apartment and modified her schedule.

Returning to the Brainporium finds Lina and Tool arguing, requiring V to direct the BD shoot.
 * Directing Lina to "Tell him that he's your sister" results in the best BD. Lina will leave, and later gift you the Malina-mobile.
 * Directing Lina to "Convince him that he's a clone created by the FIA" results in an okay BD, but no further shoots. Lina will leave, and later gift you Lina Malina's T-shirt.
 * Sending Tool's letter as Lina's lines result in a bad BD, with Lina leaving, but Tool restored to himself.

Journal Entry

 * An abducted BD actress and a mysterious kidnapper? V to the rescue! Your usual C-flick. Just watch out, 'cause if even Hands doesn't wanna boost his street cred from this one, it must be a real stinker.
