Sowing Discord Starfield Mission
Group: Faction Missions
Faction: Ryujin Industries
This mission starts automatically once you've completed the previous Ryujin mission - "Access is Key". Talk to Imogene and you will find out what task she has for you this time. She will give you a dossier of the two people you need to talk to, appropriate suit and a fake presentation.
I need to speak to Imogene about my next assignment.
Prior missions
To begin Sowing Discord you must first complete Access is Key.
Objectives of Sowing Discord
1. (Optional) Read the Dossiers
My latest assignment is to sabotage a deal between Quantum Synergies and Infinity LTD. First, I need to sway the Quantum reps, Zola Adisa and Arthur Cruz against the deal. I should reference the dossiers Imogene gave me for talking points.
It's best to start by reading the dossiers of both persons. Doing so will make your persuasion attempts much easier. It is not necessary but also wear the Fitted Business Suit you received from Imogene.
2. Influence Zola Adisa Against Infinity LTD
Head to the Trade Tower, where the Astral Lounge is. Zola Adisa should be on the right side of the dancing floor. Talk to her and try to persuade her. If you fail, the final reward for this mission will be lower.
Note: If you have read her dossier then choose the options marked by blue.
3. Influence Arthur Cruz Against Infinity LTD
Arthur Cruz is upstairs so take the elevator to the VIP Balcony. Talk to him and try to persuade him. If you fail, the final reward for this mission will be lower.
Note: If you have read his dossier then choose the options marked with blue.
4. Switch Nina Hart's Presentation / (Optional) Find a Way into Nina's Suite
I did my best to influence Zola Adisa and Arthur Cruz against the deal with Infinity LTD. All I have left to do is swap out Nina Hart's presentation with the fabricated one that Imogene gave me.
After convincing both Zola and Arthur, you need to enter Nina Hart's suite, which is on the VIP balcony floor as well. The door is locked (Novice Lock).
Nina's suite is locked. Perhaps I can obtain a keycard or find an alternate route inside.
To get inside you can:
1. Just use digipicks and unlock the door.
2. Take the elevator down to the dance floor and talk to the bartender - Boon Morgan. Tell him that you lost your key and need a replacement. When he asks who the key is for, say it's for Nina Hart. He will charge you 4,000 credits for giving the key, or 2,500 credits if you said you were doing it on behalf of Ryujin Industries. You can then pesrsuade him to lower the price and if you succeed, you will only have to pay 1000 credits.
3. You can also steal the key from Nina, who you will find near the dance floor. When you talk to her she will move to the bar or to the bathroom.
I found a way into Nina's suite. Now I can swap out her presentation with the fabricated one that Imogene gave me.
When you get the key then enter the room and swap the presentation that lies on the table.
5. Return to Imogene at Ryujin Tower
I did my best to sway Zola Adisa and Arthur Cruz away from the deal with Infinity LTD, and I swapped out Nina Hart's presentation. I need to return to Imogene at Ryujin Tower and let her know it's done.
Return to Imogene at Ryujin Tower and let her know that the task has been completed. You will receive 250 XP and credits, the amount of which will depend on whether everything went according to plan. This mission will end and another one - "Accidents Happen" - will begin.
I attempted to sway a deal between Infinity LTD and Quantum Synergies in the Astral Lounge. The final results remain to be seen.
After completing Sowing Discord you will get or will be able to get Accidents Happen.
