Complete the Part 36 objectives in Once Human by navigating The Hive and Alice Garden Pods, finding key items and speaking with NPCs.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Sneak towards the corner, wait for the two guards to finish their conversation, and hide behind the wall on your right. Take down the guard that passes, then take out the other one. The garbage room in the far left corner holds a [BEER].
  2. 2
    Hide behind the desk in the other room and wait until one of the three guards moves towards the desk; take him out when he's about to turn his back towards you. Take out the other two guards.
  3. 3
    The ventilation shafts lead back to the one you revealed by moving a ventilation shaft. The garbage room contains a [BEER], the bedroom holds a [10MM PISTOL] in the open drawer, a [STOP! WORM SOFTWARE] in the dress room and [PAINKILLERS] in the bathroom.
  4. 4
    The Toy Doll in the middle of the office reveals a secret opening, but you could also jump through the destroyed wall to reach your objective. There are two [STOP! WORM SOFTWARES] and a [NUKE VIRUS SOFTWARE] on the desk. Hack the LVL1 PC (a computer with Level 1 security) and read the emails to complete your objective [2500XP].
  5. 5
    Head back to the Hengsha streets and go to The Hive [250XP]. You've already found the membership card on the 3rd floor of the Hung Hua Hotel, so the bouncer will let you pass. Otherwise you'll need to flash your credit card.
  6. 6
    Speak with Bobby Boa the bartender and ask for Tong. Buy his drinks and down them all at once, along with a few beers you might still have (unless you're already at 200 health).
  7. 7
    Head inside the men's restroom to find a [POCKET SECRETARY] (a device storing information) with a keycode to the basement. The women's restroom has a vent leading back to the Hengsha streets; it leads back to the place where you had to crawl under a fence to continue. This is also another way to get inside The Hive [TRAVELLER 100XP]. There's also a [BEER] in the women's restroom.
  8. 8
    Go upstairs and look around for another [BEER] and [WINE], then proceed to the manager, Tong. A social battle (a dialogue challenge) commences. The best first option is Pinpoint. The second and third answers that will usually work are Advise and Pinpoint, but save your game beforehand to ensure victory [750XP] + [SILVER TONGUE 1000XP]. You'll also unlock a trophy for winning this social battle.
  9. 9
    Head downstairs and go through the door on your left. The storage room contains a [WINE]. Head downstairs and, if you want to do some optional exploration, head left past the bouncer. Head through the halls and before you continue past the camera, head through the vent to find a [NUKE VIRUS SOFTWARE], and a dead body in a room. He has a [POCKET SECRETARY] on him that hints at the reason for his demise. Search the room for a [RATE-OF-FIRE] upgrade on the small cart, then go outside.
  10. 10
    Going upstairs leads to a small office with a [HUGH DARROW EBOOK] (an electronic book), a LVL3 safe (security level 3) with [378 CREDITS] + [533 CREDITS], and two PCs.
  11. 11
    Head back to the bouncer at the intersection and head the other way to enter Tong's office. You can also spot him from the vent shaft on the left side. Look around for [383 CREDITS] in his office, as well as a [HUGH DARROW EBOOK]. Speak with Tong to get the info you need [1000XP].
  12. 12
    Before you leave The Hive completely, talk to Bobby (the bartender) again to start the Bar Tab sidequest.
  13. 13
    Head to the Alice Garden Pods. Go to the reception and head through the door. The LVL3 door (3824) leads to an office with a Rebook (MY DIARY (by Chou Jian)), a hidden [POCKET SECRETARY] behind the small box under the desk with a login code: ASGARDEN/rbbthole, another Ebook (Dragon Heads: The Triads of the 21st Century), and a LVL2 safe with [1015 CREDITS]. You DON'T want to be seen in this room by the receptionist or Harvesters or they'll turn hostile.
  14. 14
    Continue and head up the stairs where you'll run into Malik. You can now start the Shanghai Justice sidequest if you accept.
  15. 15
    You can find a [CYBERBOOST PROENERGY BAR] on the counter of the cook in the center. There's a [BEER] on a table in the southeastern area, and a [CYBERBOOST PROENERGY BAR] on a crate nearby the southeastern stairs. Behind these containers you can find a more hidden [ARMOR-PIERCING UPGRADE] for the 10mm Pistol. If yours already has the upgrade, sell it for 750 Credits to the dealer located nearby.
  16. 16
    The dealer Peng Xin Hao can be found in the storage room to the northeast.
