 * Peculiar Old Man: Just this once he could help me out. Just to see me through. GARH!
 * Peculiar Old Man: Eh. What do you want? The password? Well, do you got any spores? Neh, you like like too much of a goodie goodie.

Dialogue:

Stage 6
» Look around the black market for someone with the information about the passport.

Dialogue:
 * Document Merchant: Never seen someone like you around 'ere. You look like army folk.
 * Document Merchant: Oh, you say you are looking for a stolen passport? Oh well of course, officer!
 * Document Merchant: Many documents that are "lost" often find their way here.
 * Document Merchant: I'm sure I saw some passports in the "lost and found" box that arrived here this mornin'.
 * Document Merchant: Ahh, here we go. I got your passport right here. But it's gunna cost ya, and not the monetary kind.
 * Document Merchant: I have been trying to... acquire some secret documents from the administrational office for ages.
 * Document Merchant: I want you to head over there, find a way in to their secret vault, and bring me back the secret documents.
 * Document Merchant: If you manage to bring me back the secret documents, you can go get your passport back, for free.
 * Document Merchant: I can't give up and opportunity like this, a goodie goodie like you, walking in, asking for help. My associates would never pull this off. The office is just at the second floor of the airbase.

Stage 9
» Return to the Document Merchant with the Secret Documents.

Dialogue:
 * Document Merchant: Back already? I guess you have a keen sense of direction! Most people get hideously lost in the airbase.
 * Document Merchant: I admit, it is very complicated. Anyway, a deal is a deal.
 * Document Merchant: Just go up the ladder and enter the storage and get your passport.
 * Document Merchant: Oh, and, there will be a security question at the door, I am sure you can figure that out easily enough, though. Heh...

Stage 10
» Go to the storage area that contains the passport, and find a way in.

Stage 11
» Return to Doan with the Dusty Passport.

Dialogue:
 * Doan: Finally! I saw you running around the airbase and knew you were onto something. Have you found my passport?
 * Doan: Great! Where is it? How did you get it?
 * Doan: Oh, that sounds fairly illegal. But so was stealing it!
 * Doan: I am very grateful that you got it back. And you went to such lengths too!
 * Doan: Hmm. This doesn't look like me on the picture...
 * Doan: In fact... It looks like... you.
 * Doan: This isn't my passport at all. Maybe I should have given you a picture of myself!
 * Doan: You could easily use this to board an airship. I didn't think humans could have an official Gavel passport, but here it is!
 * Doan: Thank you for trying, here take this for your troubles. Oh wait...

Tips

 * You can easily find the Administration Office by just going left and up the stairs as soon as you enter the Airbase

Trivia

 * Doan's Passport turns out to be to have been in his 'other' pocket that whole time.
