Last update: 11 May 2016
Objectives: Learn where Raymond is held and get into the laboratory 12.
Useful skills: Charisma [7], Security etiquette, Decking [5]; optional: Shadowrunner etiquette, Academic, Spellcasting/Conjuring [6], combat.
Difficulty: Medium
The mission takes place on four different levels. The final floor - the laboratory - is related to a specific objective. After arriving at the location, talk with the bodyguard who let you in the building. Your task will be to obtain access to the room with the terminal. Access card is required there, the bodyguard standing near the elevator (M11,2) has it. It doesn't mean that he will want to give it to you, nor does it mean that you must use force to get it...
As usually, the quest can be completed in more than one way:
- Attack the guards - this method is not recommended for this mission. It makes some things easier, but at the same time you will meet many enemies and even more coming from the elevators. You will also have to fight on other floors...
- Silently - you must have many etiquettes and preferably high Charisma to be able to complete this mission without having to fight,
- Mixed option - if you will play as this guide suggests, you will fight in the last phase (laboratory on level 48) - once you escape to laboratory number 12, the only way will lead through killing anyway.
Despite the fact that mission marker is on current floor, go to floor 26. The guard at the elevator will stop you and ask about the pass, show him the "basic" pass (first dialogue option).
To get through the reception (M11,8) on floor 26, you will need Shadowrunner/Security etiquette. You will receive meet with Mr. Johnson side mission. If you do meet with him (M11,4), you can make a deal - he will give you access to the terminal, and in return you will steal data and over 2000 yens for him.
Making the deal will help you as well, as the second data hidden there is related to the find evidence against Josephine Tang side mission. If you want to keep the money, the only option is fighting everyone in the building.
While having the Security etiquette/Charisma [7], go to the southwestern corner where you will find company employee (M11,2). She will ask you to obtain data held in the other corner of the building - talk with the manager (M11,3) and with the same charisma or etiquette "run them away" from the building. After that, steal the data from the terminal (Decking[5] required). For that, you will receive 1 Karma point and access card to the terminal on floor 26 (the one you're currently on).
The card will let you enter the room with the terminal (M11,5) (the button at the wall that leads to the room is hard to notice). However, if you don't have the Security etiquette, don't go there or you will be immediately attacked. If you have the mentioned etiquette, after using it in the conversation select third dialogue option.
Once you reach the terminal, you will receive the explore all the Matrix areas in this location side mission. Explore both territories, not only the one marked in the quest, to learn where Black is held and to find two codes to special projects and one code to the laboratory number 12 (44526).
Once you complete all the actions described above, go back to level B3 (the entrance to the location). Go to the only opened room in the middle and talk to the woman (M11,1) about some package. After the conversation the door behind the wall will open. They will lead to a terminal (M11,6) which you must hack. This will give you three codes: to hospital room (4990), to the locker in the cloakroom (2627) and the second code to the laboratory (25301).
Putting the clothes from the drawer in the changing room (M11,4) on will help you in dialogues (and you will receive 1 Karma point for that). Now, having two codes, you can go to laboratory number 12. On the way there you can explore the laboratory number 48. You must use the Security etiquette or Charisma again for the guard in the laboratory to let you through.
Walk to the second door on the northern wall. Start the conversation with the orc (M11,6). In the second dialogue you must select the option with Charisma [6] and in the next one the option with Academic etiquette/Spellcasting [6]/Conjuring [6] - if you pass these two steps, during the rest of the conversation you must click the first dialogue option until the talk is over.
You will receive a code to the "Containment Room" - 1915. Inside (M11,9) you will find a console through which you can free the demon. Don't go back to the talky guy as he will call for security. You can send the demon to the magician (M11,5) in the upper room - he will go to the door north, on the right, where the magician will kill him. During the conversation with her you can convince her to leave the room - you will be able to collect 2 spells from the shelf and hack into the terminal. For releasing the beast you will receive 1 Karma point. Inside the Matrix you will find two data: password to the ones on the left is Scion, and on the right you will find special codes to laboratory number 12 (described in the part of this guide focusing on laboratory number 12).
You can also send the demon to the guy from the laboratory, where the security will come. In the room opened by the guard a terminal (M11,10) can be found. Inside the Matrix you will again find the code to the laboratory number 12 and the code to the room with equipment (8974) under the one you're currently in. It's a better option than sending the demon to the magician.
Important - there is no option to use both rooms without having to fight.
Now go to the elevator (M11,2) and reach laboratory 12. You must enter two previously obtained passwords in any order (the password are 44526 and 25301). It is worth mentioning that once you go there you won't be able to return to any of the floors.
