Outta The Darkness is a mission in Days Gone.
Description[]
After Rikki and Deacon's successful mission to repair the damaged transformer, Iron Mike gives a brief speech to Lost Lake camp. Rikki restores the power to the camp and she and Deacon receive applause from the crowd for their efforts while a jealous Skizzo looks on. When Rikki sees a wound in Deacon's side, she takes him to see Addy for treatment.
The infirmary is empty, so Rikki begins treating Deacon's wound, prompting a discussion about his tattoos. Rikki implies that she would like a relationship with Deacon, but he gently turns her down. Unbeknownst to them, Skizzo sees them sharing a moment with Deacon's shirt off before wandering into the night. Seeing that Deacon isn't ready for her advances, Rikki instead offers to resume when he is ready, and to "light a candle" when he grows tired of being out in the cold and darkness.

Storylines[]
Earning Our Keep[]
Sarah's been dead for over two years but thanks to O'Brian's bullshit, it feels like I just lost her yesterday. I don't think Rikki gets it, but I'm not ready for - anything. At least the lights are on. And the way Iron Mike was talking, maybe I've finally done enough to pay our way here, especially now that Boozer's strong enough to start doing shit on his own.
Someone That I Used To Know[]
Hey, I'm not going to lie. I thought about it, me and Rikki. She has this way about her, this passion for life. And she doesn't give up. On anyone. There was a moment there, between us. But here's the thing. To me? Sarah's not dead. Look, I know she's dead, has been, for a long time. But until I feel it? Rikki, or anyone else, isn't going to happen.
We've All Done Things[]
Like I've said before, Iron Mike yells a lot, he's got a big mouth, but he's got a big heart to go with it. He didn't have to let us back in, me and Boozer, but he welcomed us and gave me a chance to earn a place here. He also didn't have to thank me like that, for helping Rikki get the lights back on. But that's the kind of man Iron Mike is.
Keep Your Friends Close[]
During Iron Mike's speech I saw Skizzo skulking around, like he wasn't happy we got the lights back on, like he wanted to see me and Rikki fail even if it meant keeping everyone in the dark. I never know what to make of that guy. He seemed okay, helping get the explosives from the mine but then he wanted to turn on Iron Mike. Now this.

Trivia[]
Mission: Outta the Darkness. This is the only mission in regular gameplay where the "Days Gone" counter moves to "O."
- If paused, this is the only section of main gameplay where the "Days Gone" counter will read "0". Once the mission is complete, the counter will resume where the player left off, plus the advancement of mission time (see next bullet). This corresponds with Deacon's summaries, showing that he considered accepting her offer to start over in Lost Lake after completing his grieving for Sarah.
- The mission ends at 8:05am, the weather is clear. The number of days increases by three during the missions "Better To Light One Candle" and "Outta The Darkness".
- During a mission, the "Storylines", "Map", "Skills" and "Inventory" menus do not open (tested on PC).
- After the mission, Deacon appears at his safehouse.
