7. Take Virus Holotape to MAIA

I'm not exactly sure what to do with this virus holotape. I bet MAIA will have some idea. I should take it back to her and see what she thinks.

Return to Watoga Municipal Center and activate the MAIA.

I need to fend off security robots while the upload finishes, and I'll need to start again if they interrupt it.

For five minutes you must defend yourself against the robots attacking you.

10. (Quest completed)

I successfully updated the Watoga municipal robot's programming. That should make them more friendly, to me at least. Also, MAIA gave me the code to the mayor's safe, which should contain something useful.

As a reward, you'll get the Watoga Mayor Safe Combination, Mayor's clothes (Crumpled Fedora, Patched Suit), and All Rise, a Super Sledge. Completing this quest will cause all robots in Watoga to stop attacking you.
