Alright, so we're diving into Part 73, and this one's a bit of a street-level investigation in Paris. It’s less about direct combat and more about talking to people, finding clues, and grabbing some useful gear.

Up front, you'll find a Cafe Hostess named Kristi. Chat with her, and she'll point you across the street to a club called La Porte de l'Enfer, where you'll find Nicolette. While you're chatting, keep an ear out for some interesting lore tidbits about the EU and the meaning of 'Sante' – it's French toast, meaning 'health,' but it also ties into the game's themes.

You'll also meet Joshua, the father of a family in distress. He can give you a login: STREETSTATION17/WEREWOLF. This is super important for later, so jot it down!

If you played it smart and told Jaime Reyes to stick with UNATCO earlier, he'll have some crucial info for you. He'll tell you an AI is tracking you and that Gunther is hot on your heels. Gunther's killphrase is 'Laputan Machine' – good to know if you ever need to deal with him directly. Jaime also mentions Sam Carter is out of UNATCO and working with Gary Savage, who's connected to Area 51. Keep an eye out for a newspaper nearby that details Beth DuClare's political dealings.

Now, let's talk loot. You can head back out through the same back entrance you used. Remember that login? You can use 001506/NAGA066 on the nearby ATMs, which have a 750 Base ATM Value. If your Computer skill is Advanced, you can get the full 750 credits. Otherwise, stick to the 300 credits from the code to avoid issues.

Head back to the manhole cover and then go East. You'll need to watch out for two big Delta-2 Peacebringers and two patrolling MJ12 Commandos. A Thermoptic Camo would be a lifesaver here, but you can also use stealth to reach the station booth with the computer. Once you reach it, you'll get a 50 SP ACCOMPLISHMENT BONUS for entering Street Station 17.

Use the login STREETSTATION17/WEREWOLF on the computer to shut down the patrolling Delta-2 Peacebringers. There's a crate with a LAM, but destroying it will alert nearby troopers, so it's probably best to leave it be, especially since they can see you through the window. Once you're done, make a quick exit back to the manhole cover and head South. It should be safe now that the bots are down, and the French police won't bother you.

Across the street from the club 'Tres Ch!c,' a gendarme is carrying a RELOAD WEAPON MODIFICATION. Grab it if you can. A bit further South, dive into an alley going East to get behind La Porte de L´Enfer.

Before we get to Nicolette, there are a couple of sidequests. Talk to Leone, the street sweeper. He'll tell you about Renault, who's looking for a thief at the hostel. Leone also carries a MULTITOOL and a BIOELECTRIC CELL if you decide to take him down. Head past #13 and run Southeast to find the hostel at #10, called 'Aucun Dites' (which means 'tell no one').

The Night Manager is pretty useless, and the computer is empty. Upstairs, you'll find a HOTEL NANOKEY on a Push-Cart. This can unlock an 80% Strength Locked door. Inside, you'll find a BIOELECTRIC CELL, a 100 CREDIT CHIT, a DataCube with account info 004418/MORBUS13, and a message from Icarus. The other room just has a Hotel Maid.

Downstairs, to the West, you'll find Renault. If you didn't talk to Leone, your dialogue options will be different. Renault is looking for Zyme Vials from a bakery at #15. He'll offer 50 credits per vial, but you can haggle him up to 65 credits if you initially say you don't deal in Zyme. If you push it too far, he'll get aggressive. If you've already cleared out the bakery, you can sell the Zyme right away.

Secondary Goal: Get the zyme from the bakery and sell it to Renault.

Leave the hostel through the East exit and head West around the building to find the bakery. There's a patrolling cop, but no other major threats. The easiest way in is by breaking the glass – it'll set off the alarm for a bit, but you can wait it out. You can disable the policeman if you want, but it's not required. There's also a 75% Strength Locked door if you prefer to be stealthy.

You'll get a 50 SP AREA LOCATION BONUS for finding the Zyme in the Bakery.

Inside, try not to be seen. You'll find a LOCKPICK. Open one of the grates in the Northeast corner to find two clips of 10MM AMMO, a PS20, a PLASMA CLIP, a 100 CREDIT CHIT, and six ZYME VIALS.

Return to Renault to trade the Zyme Vials for 65 credits each. That's 390 credits just for the bakery batch, and you might have gathered even more vials earlier!
