Part 29

From the previous section, head right and sneak to the door on the far right, leading to a staircase monitored by cameras.

Sneak past the cameras to reach the upper level. Alternatively, you can reach the upper level by sneaking up the other stairwell.

Three guards patrol the catwalks on the upper level. Take down the guard in the middle first by sneaking towards him, hugging the right wall, and hiding behind the first block of steel. Wait for him to turn his back and perform a takedown, then move his body out of sight.

Backtrack and approach the catwalk of the guard on the right. Hide behind the steel bars and perform a takedown after he starts moving away and has looked behind him once. Hide his body on the catwalk he was facing.

With two guards down, the last guard on the upper level should be easier to handle. Stay crouched with the bot downstairs.

Alternatively, if you have the "Move Heavy Objects" augmentation, you can move the two large crates on the right to sneak past all three guards.

You can now snipe or tranquilize the remaining guards below, or head back down to take them out, which is trickier.

Accurately hurling an EMP grenade at the bot grants you [HUNK OF JUNK 250XP]. If no mercs are around when it explodes, the alarm will not sound.

Alternatively, use the rocket launcher below to save an EMP grenade.

Loot the [AMMUNITION BOX] on one of the crates on the lower level after exploring the upper level.

In the far left corner, find [SNIPER RIFLE AMMO] and [COMBAT RIFLE AMMO x2].

Head inside the control cabin and look for a [NUKE VIRUS SOFTWARE].

Proceed to the next room to find [COMBAT RIFLE AMMO x5].

Head downstairs to the point where paths #1 and #2 merge. A ladder on your immediate right leads down to a hallway with a patrolling guard.

You can now continue via the lower level (path #1) or the upper level (#2).

Path #1: Take down the guard if you haven't already and head through the door around the corner.

The office to your left contains a [TRANQ DART], [125 CREDIT CHIPS], and a [POCKET SECRETARY] with the computer login: wks0010/usprotkt. You have access codes to two level 2 computers; one in the corner for background info, and another to control cameras. Shut down the cameras in advance.

The next area is under heavy surveillance by mercs and a turret. Uncover a large vent system to your immediate left by removing cardboard boxes.

The vent system leads to various rooms: Room A3 holds [COMBAT RIFLE AMMO x4], Room C3 houses [175 CREDITS], Room C1 has a [CYBERBOOST PROENERGY BAR], and C2 holds an Ebook (REX-84 Operational Field Notes). Beware of the camera above the C3 vent and the camera between C3 and A3.

Sneaking past the guard(s) is tricky; your destination is on the far left. Other rooms contain: {B3} with an Ebook (A Coalition For Liberty), {B2} with a [POCKET SECRETARY] (login: lbarrett/BULLSKULL), {B1} with [COMBAT RIFLE AMMO x4], {A1} with a [POCKET SECRETARY] for background info, and {A2} with [REVOLVER AMMO x3].

A strategy to take down the guard is to hide in a room he passes, make noise by running around, hide behind the door, and immediately take him down as he enters.

Make your way to the left and go through the door. Depending on your entry point, you may need to deactivate laser beams with code 7984.

Alternatively, remove the large crate from the vent to bypass the lasers. You can get [EXPLORER 200XP] by going through the vent from the other end after deactivating the lasers.
