The Lost Patent

The Lost Patent is a quest in .

Journal
"From a journal I found on one of the Blasted Street victims, I read about a man named Hines. This Hines had a patent for a product that could help protect against the noxious conditions of the street. It also mentions that he was staying at Essex Hotel.

I learned that Hines was last seen going to a special screen at the Arkham Theater. According to what Etienne told me, Hines had a suitcase with him. It might be a good idea to check out this theatre in Pilgrim’s Parish.

Am I finally going insane? I somehow found myself inside the dreadful footage that the Cult worships like a sacred idol. I met Hines at the reception before the screening and learned that he wears a checkered orange suit,

I found the blueprints of the Hazard Suit that Hines designed for people working in toxic environments. I wonder if this suit can help me survive the Blasted Street."
