8	* HeroicSacrifice: You can have a couple of these at the Broken House.
9	* JustFollowingOrders: Odds are you'll find yourself making some morally questionable decisions throughout the game in order to make sales, but hey, it's just part of the job!

15	* ViolationOfCommonSense: There are quite a few moments when you get the opportunity

22	* FateWorseThanDeath: You regard the job as such.
