Worst Contact

Need help with the 'Worst Contact' companion quest in The Outer Worlds? Follow our step-by-step walkthrough to navigate the Groundbreaker's Sick Bay and uncover the truth about Jessie.

Alright, so you've picked up the quest Worst Contact from Ellie on the Groundbreaker. She's got a friend, Jessie, stuck in the Sick Bay, and for some reason, no one's allowed to visit her. Ellie's not exactly the best at convincing people, so she's asked you to step in and figure out what's really going on. Sounds like a bit of a mystery, right?

You can try talking to Dr. Mfuru, the other doctor there, but honestly, it's a dead end. He'll just tell you that Jessie's had a lot of people asking about her, which just makes things smellier. You're going to have to get into that restricted area behind the Sick Bay if you want to get to the bottom of this.

Now, you could just try to sneak in, but that's going to be a pain. If you've got an ID Cartridge for your Holographic Shroud (you might have picked one up during the Passage to Anywhere quest), that'll make things way easier. If not, don't sweat it – there's a Mardet ID Cartridge lying around on a table near the door to the restricted area. Grab that!

Once you've got the ID, head through the door into the restricted zone. Turn right (that's north, if you're looking at your compass), go through another door, then pass another door on your right (east). Follow the hallway, and the first door on your right (south) is the one you want. You'll see a microphone outside it.

Use that microphone to talk to Jessie. Let's see what she has to say for herself.
