Complete the "Breach of Contract" Quest

After his affinity is high enough, Barrett will trigger the Breach of Contract quest, which has you investigate the mysterious circumstances around his former partner Ervin's death. Head to Gagarin and begin your investigation. Speak to a few NPCs, collect evidence from Ervin's apartment, and make your way to a Hephaestus mining computer.

You will find evidence that th Hephaestus mining polluted the environment and framed it on Ervin. Find an NPC named Helgi and perform a persuasion check to convince him to serve as a witness for the trial.

How to Marry Barrett

Barrett warms up to you and talks about how he now wishes to spend time with you rather than just missing Ervin. Eventually, you will get the option to commit with Barret and receive the quest Commitment: Barrett.

Talk to VASCO to officiate the wedding, and he will ask if you want to host it right there or back at the lodge. Pick whatever option suits you the best, and then watch the wedding ceremony.
