Reaching TF29 headquarters

Examine the painting to activate the elevator.

The first objective of this mission is to get into the TF29 headquarters. You will have to use the subway, as your destination point is located in the northern part of Prague (M3 map). Head to the Capek subway station and get on the train. After reaching the northern part of the city, head towards Praha Dovoz company building - the TF29 headquarters can be found below this very building. Enter the building, head to the room in the back (M7,1) and interact with the painting to uncover a secret switch. Press the button to start the elevator and reach the first level of TF29 headquarters.

Getting into NSN server room

The entrance to one of the ventilation shafts can be found near the closed door leading to the server room.

Just as you arrive to TF29 Jensen will be contacted by Alex and you will learn about her plans of planting a whisper-chip on one of the servers. You must now reach the NSN server room located on level 2 of the base (M7,2). You won't be able to get inside right away, as the entrance leading to the server room is closed and you require an access card. You must get past this obstacle.

One of the easiest ways to get through the closed entrance is to use the ventilation shafts. Entrances can be found in two different places on the second level of the base. The southern entrance (M7,19) will allow you to get to the destination right away. In the case of the northern one (M7,20) you will first reach a small room with electrical discharges - you must look for the fuse box to get rid of them.

The access card can be found in the server room on level 3.

Another method requires you to acquire the NSN access card, which can then be used on the scanner. The card you are looking for can be found inside one of the rooms in the server room located on level 1 of the base (M7,7). You can reach the server room in three ways - hacking into it (level 1 security level), by inputting code 5545 (you can find it in a computer located in the IT department), or by going through the ventilation shafts. In the case of the last method, you must first locate the entrance to the ventilation - it's hidden below the stairs on level 1 (M7,8).

The last method to open the door to NSN server room is to hack the security. In this case you must first travel to the security room located on level 1 of the base (M7,12). There's a computer there, with level 1 security protection. After hacking the computer you will see that one of the options available there will allow you to unlock the entrance to NSN server room (as shown on the above screenshot).

Solving the problem with the closed entrance to the NSN server room won't allow you to complete the objective, as there's a second pair of doors that lead to the area where you must plant the whisper-chip. You can get through this obstacle by hacking it - the entrance is protected by level 2 security.

If you lack the necessary hacking upgrades and you don't have a multitool, climb on top of the nearby roof and look for the hatch shown on the above screenshot. Opening it will allow you to get inside of the side room and bypass the closed doors.

Installing the whisper-chip and meeting with Miller

The place where you must plant the whisper-chip.

Regardless of your approach, finish the journey to the place where the server (M7,2) associated with the mission can be found (you will also gain 200 experience points). Interact with the server to install the whisper-chip and receive 3,150 experience points.

You will learn that James Miller wants to meet with Jensen. Head to the warden's office (M7,3) for the meeting. The man will give you a new quest - Claiming Jurisdiction - and will tell you to examine a place of the recent terrorist attack. Completing the quest Checking Out TF29 will give you another 1,950 experience points.
