Detailed Walkthrough

Helgi Hauksson Testifying

If you convince Helgi to testify, you will have to find a character witness, which you may have already seen prompts for when tracking him down. The "best" choice is the doctor. After this, the quest concludes with a final conversation with the lawyer, and you are left with quest complete while you await news of the trial's outcome.

If you fail to convince Helgi to testify, he will instead say that he'll refer some colleagues to review the information and testify independently. The case still moves forward, but Ellie Yankton's expectations are lower for the outcome, saying she thinks they will clear his name but possibly not succeed in incriminating the mining corporation.

Some time later, Barrett will receive news. Regardless of the path taken above, Ervin's record is expunged, on a technicality. Hephaestus receives no punishment, other than paying out a settlement. Barrett receives the settlement and divides it between you, him, Ellie, and expenses. He also sells the apartment. Ellie continues to work looking for similar cases against the corp. You receive 7100.

Cut Content

This mission appears to have a relatively large amount of cut content. It is unknown where this content would have been used, however it was presumably removed as this mission is already particularly long.

• Ellie Yankton's has an apartment in Gagarin Landing.
• There is an apartment in Apollo Tower in New Atlantis. This apartment appears to be related to Wendy (also cut), a lawyer and former associate of Ellie Yankton who is trying to convince her to return to Gagarin Landing.

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Mission system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• Not all entries may appear in your log; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the mission is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with missions that have multiple possible outcomes or missions where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Mission" it means the mission disappears from the Active Mission list, but you may still receive new entries for that mission.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the mission by entering setstage COM_Quest_Barrett_Q01 stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) mission stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the mission using resetquest COM_Quest_Barrett_Q01.
