Quest Group: Faction Missions
Faction: Ryujin Industries
Prerequisites: To play this mission, you must first complete the mission Back to the Grind.
This mission starts automatically once you've completed the first Ryujin mission - "Back to the Grind". Talk to Imogene and you will find out what task she has for you.
Imogene promoted me on my first day of work. I should talk to her and find out what my new job entails.
I need to get into CeltCorp at Neon's Trade Tower and upload the program on the slate that Imogene gave me. Ideally, I need to do this without getting caught.
Head to the Trade Tower and take the elevator to the CeltCorp floor. Go to the room where the terminal of the computer is located and hack it. It's locked with a Novice Lock, so you'll need some digipicks for that. Watch out for the guard patrolling the rooms to avoid being detected by him. When you break into the computer then select "Upload Program".
I successfully uploaded the program onto a CeltCorp computer. I need to return to Imogene at Ryujin Tower and let her know it's done.
Return to Ryujin Tower, take the elevator to the "Operations" floor and report to Imogene. This mission will end, you will receive 100 XP, some credits and a random item, such as digipick or booster. The next mission - "A New Narrative" - will automatically start.
I successfully uploaded a program onto a CeltCorp computer.
After completing this mission, you will be able to play the mission A New Narrative.
