Quest Group: Faction Missions
Faction: Ryujin Industries
Prerequisites: To play this mission, you must first complete the mission One Step Ahead.
This mission starts automatically once you've completed the previous Ryujin mission - "One Step Ahead". Talk to Imogene and you will find out what task she has for you this time. You will receive two digipicks and confidential files from her.
I completed my first job as a junior operative for Ryujin Industries. I should speak to Imogene to find out what's next.
I need to head to Akila City so I can plant confidential files in Laredo Firearms to expose their own corruption and thwart a deal. Ideally, I need to do this without getting caught. Akila City is on Akila in the Cheyenne system.
Travel to Cheyenne System > Akila, and land at Akila City.
I need to find Laredo Firearms so I can plant confidential files in the main office to expose their own corruption and thwart a deal. Ideally, I need to do this without getting caught.
After landing, head to the Laredo Firearms.
Go inside and take the stairs to the upper floor. There you will find a closed door (Novice Lock) which you must open. You can do this using digipicks. You don't have to worry about a Laredo employee sitting nearby. He does not pose a threat.
Alternatively, you can steal the Reisha's Office Key that Reisha Lance has. You will find it on the lower floor, behind the counter.
Inside the office, pick the lock (Novice Lock) on the yellow chest you find there...
...then store the confidential files in it.
I successfully planted the confidential files at Laredo Firearms. I need to return to Imogene at Ryujin Tower and let her know it's done.
Head back to Ryujin Industries in Neon City and talk to Imogene. Inform her that the task has been completed. This will complete this mission, you will receive 100 XP, credits and random item such as digipicks or booster. The next mission - "Access is Key" - will begin.
I was able to plant confidential files at Laredo Firearms. Imogene said the files will expose Laredo's own corruption and help remove them as Arboron's competition for a lucrative contract.
After completing this mission, you will be able to play the mission Access is Key.
