Quest Group: Faction Missions
Faction: Ryujin Industries
Prerequisites: To play this mission, you must first complete the mission The Key Ingredient.
This mission starts automatically once you've completed the previous Ryujin mission - "The Key Ingredient".
I need to meet Dalton to get the latest update on the mole. I can find him in his office on the Executive Floor.
Note: Completing this mission will be much easier if you killed Ularu during the mission "Guilty Parties".
I need to meet Dalton to get the latest update on the mole. I can find him in his office on the Executive Floor.
You can find him in his office on on the Executive Offices floor. The conversation will vary depending on the choices you made during the "Guilty Parties" mission, but the next step will always be the same, you must attend the meeting.
Dalton and Masako want me to attend the meeting where they discuss the mole and their plans for Infinity LTD. I should take a seat and listen.
Head to the conference room and sit in a chair to attend the meeting. Listen to what everyone has to say. The meeting will vary depending on the decisions you made in the "Guilty Parties" mission. The meeting will come to an end when Veena informs you that the the Internal Neuroamp is ready. Masako will instruct you to go to Veena.
Veena completed the Internal Neuroamp. I should meet her in the Neuroamp Division on the Research and Development floor.
Head to the Research and Development floor and talk to Veena. She will inform you how the procedure will proceed and then ask you to lie down on the operating table.
Veena is ready to perform the operation to implant the Internal Neuroamp in my head. I need to lay down on the neurosurgery table when I'm ready.
The procedure is complete. I should talk to Veena about how it went.
When you wake up after the operation, talk to Veena again. She will inform you how the implant works and will tell you where you should go to test it.
Veena wants me to test the Internal Neuroamp on DeMarcus. I need to head up to the Observation Deck to try to use it.
Head to the platform. When you get there, you'll be prompted with instructions on how to use your new skill.
When you turn on the scanner then you will get the rest of the instructions.
I need to test the Internal Neuroamp on DeMarcus to get him to open the test room door. The door is locked. I need to use Manipulation on DeMarcus to find a key to unlock the door. I should reference the tutorial for Manipulation if I can't remember how to use it.
Turn on the scanner, aim at DeMarcus and activate the manipulation.
When DeMarcus is manipulated, hover over the keys on a nearby table and make him pick them up.
Then hover over the door and make DeMarcus to unlock it.
I successfully tested the Internal Neuroamp. I should head back down and see what they have to say.
Listen to what DeMarcus has to say about the experiment and then talk to Veena. She will inform you that you should report to Masako.
Veena reminded me that Masako wants to speak to me about the Infinity LTD assignment. I can find her in her office on the Executive Offices floor.
Return to the Executive Offices floor and talk to Masako. Depending on whether Ularu is alive or dead, you will also meet Ularu or Dalton here. Masako will inform you what the next goal of your mission is.
Note: If the other person is Dalton, meaning Ularu is dead, he will inform you that Imogene is waiting for you in New Atlantis and that she may have something useful for you.
This mission objective will show up as long as in the mission "Guilty Parties" you have allied with Ularu.
Ularu wanted to talk to me in her office. I should follow her and find out what else she may have to say.
When you talk to her you will learn about the trickery she intends to use to carry out her plan.
This mission objective will show up as long as in the mission "Guilty Parties" you have NOT allied with Ularu and Ularu is alive.
I need to bring the Overseer program to Dalton in his office. He believes it holds the evidence needed to prove Ularu is the mole.
Go to Dalton and give him the program you received from Ularu. He will find the malicious code added by Ularu in it and remove it after which he will hand it back to you.
Dalton finished created an updated Overseer program after removing some malicious code that Ularu had added to frame Masako. I should speak to him about what to do next.
I need to travel to New Atlantis to get my assignment underway.
This possibility will occur only if Ularu is dead!
Dalton mentioned that Imogene may have some useful information for me about my assignment. I can find her at the TerraBrew in the New Atlantis Commercial District.
Find Imogene in the cafe and talk to her. You will receive a Locker Keycard from her, which will significantly help you complete the next part of this mission.
I need to get inside the Infinity LTD building. I can either use my assigned identity at the entrance or find the roof access door. Once inside, Imogene gave me a locker keycard so I can obtain an R&D uniform and ID which can help me move about easier.
I need to get inside the Infinity LTD building. I can either use my assigned identity to gain access at the entrance or find the roof access door.
From Masako you learned that you can get into the building in two ways. A way that is imo much easier, and even trivial when Ularu is dead, is to use a false identity. To use this method do the following.
Talk to Dezi Zhank sitting at the reception desk and tell her about your appointment. She will tell you who you should talk to next.
I need to enter the Infinity LTD building and meet with Aelys Ortiz, the Marketing department's receptionist.
Get into the elevator and head to the Marketing floor. There you will meet Aelys Ortiz who will ask you to sit on the couch and wait. Once you do that Ortiz will inform you that he is going to inform the person you are to meet of your arrival and will leave.
Follow Aelys and he will lead you to Nina. When he and Nina are done talking then you will be able to speak with Nina. Use Manipulation to convince her to let you meet Lucas Drexler. This will give you access to a new floor - Executive Offices.
Return to the elevator and take it to the Executive Offices floor. Find Lucas in his office. Talk to him and manipulate him into letting you run the presentation on his computer.
I convinced Lucas to give me access to his computer. I can use this opportunity to run the Overseer Program.
Use Lucas' computer and run the Overseer program on it.
You will only be able to complete the following task if you have spoken to Imogene in New Atlantis and she has given you the locker keycard.
I need to run the Overseer program on Lucas and Faye's computers and find the Internal Neuroamp Prototype. Imogene gave me the locker keycard of an employee who agreed to help. I can get an R&D uniform and security access card if I can find his locker on the first office floor.
Return to the marketing floor and find the entrance to the ventilation ducts in one of the rooms. You'll get through them to the ramps of the overhead ceiling in the rooms on the floor below.
Quietly walk along them to the right, over the room where the locker is located and jump down. Unlock the locker and take R&D ID Card and Research Tech Outfit from it. Equip the outfit! You can now safely exit the room without fear of being attacked by guards.
I need to run the Overseer program on Faye's computer and find the Internal Neuroamp Prototype. Both should be on the Research and Development floor.
Having the R&D ID Card, you can simply go to the elevator and take it down. Dressed in the Research Tech Outfit, you will not be attacked by anyone and will be able to easily explore all the rooms.
Head to the room where Faye's computer is located. Wait until Faye is not looking at you, unlock her computer (Advanced Lock) and run the Overlord program on it.
Alternatively, to avoid losing digipicks, you can steal Faye her computer passcode.
Find the room where the prototype is. It is in a container the opening of which will trigger an alarm. The alarm can be disabled using the terminal located in the same room.
Unfortunately, the terminal itself is also secured (Expert Lock).
Before you pick up the prototype you should also close the blinds on the windows.
Make sure no one sees you, open the container and take the prototype.
You can now safely leave the building using the elevator. If the alarm activated, for example, because you were unable to unlock the terminal and disable it, then just quickly run to the elevator.
The second way to get into the building is to use the roof entrance. This is a much more difficult task, requires a lot of stealth and the chance of detection is quite high, so it is worth keeping in mind to frequently save.
You can reach the rooftop entrance, for example, through a passageway the entrance to which is located to the right of GalBank.
Once inside, you will reach a ventilation shaft with a large rotating fan preventing you from getting further in.
I need to get past a fan in the ventilation system. I could use the Internal Neuroamp to manipulate the guard and turn off the system.
Use manipulation on the guard and order him to turn off the fan. When the fan stops then jump down.
I need to run the Overseer program on Lucas and Faye's computers and find the Internal Neuroamp Prototype. I received a maintenance passcode that I can use to sabotage the heating system. This may help clear most of the people out of the building.
Maintenance Systems > Critical Systems > Heating [!] > Activate System > Yes.
I sabotaged the heating system to clear most of the people out of building. Now I need to run the Overseer program on Lucas and Faye's computers and find their Internal Neuroamp Prototype.
I need to run the Overseer program on Lucas and Faye's computers and find the Internal Neuroamp Prototype.
Lucas' Computer > Unlock (Novice Lock) > Overseer Program.
I need to run the Overseer program on Lucas and Faye's computers and find the Internal Neuroamp Prototype.
I need to find an R&D ID Card to get inside the neuroamp research room.
close the door
I've completed my assignment within the Infinity LTD building. I need to deliver the slate to David Barron at SSNN in the New Atlantis Commercial District.
Head to the Settled Systems News Network (SSNN) building and you will find David Barron there. Talk to him and hand him the slate.
I've officially completed my assignment. I need to return to Masako at Ryujin Tower in Neon to let her know it's complete.
Return to Masako Imada at Ryujin Tower in Neon and speak with her. A short while after you start talking, the Barron's broadcast will begin, which you will listen to together.
David Barron is broadcasting the news about Infinity LTD. I should listen and see what he has to say.
I need to talk to Masako about the SSNN broadcast.
You will then continue the conversation with Masako about what you should do now. If you have allied with Ularu then you will get additional options during this conversation.
Your conversation will end with Masako asking you to convince other board members to your plan. This will end this mission, you will receive rewards for completing it and the next mission will begin - "Executive Level".
I successfully wiped all evidence of Project Dominion from Infinity LTD and handed over evidence of their crimes to David Barron at SSNN.
After completing this mission, you will be able to play the mission Executive Level.
