Detailed Walkthrough

Meet Louisa Reyez

Find Louisa Reyez in The Well at a corner between MedBay and the elevator to MAST tram station.
Louisa mistakes you for her co-worker Carl which whom she is supposed to be investigating a power drain in the Well. Apparently Carl is not taking the assignment seriously and did not show up. Louisa is trying to isolate a power drain, which looks like it's the result of a large amount of power being rerouted through various subsystems. Unfortunately it is a two person job. One person needs to manually access various junction boxes and another person needs to monitor the system remotely. As there is only a small chance of electrocution you offer your help. Louisa then leaves for the monitoring station, which is the next door west from your current positon.

First Box

The first junction box is near UC Surplus. From MedBay go east. Go through the passage with the red exit sign above it. Pass Kay's House and go left in front of the UC Security Office. Then go between UC Surplus on your left and a New Atlantis Information kiosk on you right. The junction box is on the wall ahead, between a tank and a locked door.
Louisa will contact you via radio when you are close to it. Open the panel door and switch off the electrical panel.

Second Box

Turn around and pass UC Surplus on your right. Before you reach Kay's House turn left towards the Trade Authority. The House of the Enlightened is on your left and Apex Electronics on your right. Go into the alley between Apex and Trade Authority and turn left, up the stairs. Turn right and go up another flight of stairs. You are in front of a red door with a switch to your right. Use the switch to open the door and go left. You are in front of another red door with a switch on a column in front of it. Use the switch to open the door, go up the stairs and follow them to the right. The junction box is behind the yellow door ahead.
Again, Louisa will contact you via radio when you are close to the door. Open the door, open the panel door and flip the switch.

Third box

Turn around and go right, down the stairs you came up. If the red door is closed, there is a switch on this side of it too. At the crossing go left, down the stairs. Pass the playing children on your left and Jake's on your right. The junction box is at the end of the alley, on the left side of the wall.
As always Louisa will contact you via radio when you are close to the panel. Open the panel door and flip the switch.
Louisa mentiones that the next box is near the Trade Authority, and she suggest you don't talk to anyone there yet.

Fourth box

Turn around and go into the alley behind Jake's to your left. Go down the double stairway, go right behind MedBay, and go through the passway with the red exit sign above it. Tuirn right when you leave the passage and pass Apex Electronics to your right and the House of the Enlightened to your left. Turn left behind the House of the Enlightened. Ahead and slightly to the left of you a passage leads to a staircase. Go up thye staircase, around the bend and up the second staircase. You are in front of a leaning fence. Go left, up another staircase and turn right. Open the door in front of you, go through, and Louisa will radio in again.
The junction box is behin the yellow door. To open it you need to deal with a series of breakers first. Louisa doesn't remember the order the breakers have to be switched, so you need to figure it out.
There are four electrical panels to the left and four control lights on the wall behind the glass. Each panel controls two lights. You need to flick switches so all four lights are green. When all four lights are green the yellow door will open. The lights controlled by each switch are random.
Go through the door, open the panel door and switch the panel. Louisa would like you to come to the monitoring station now.

Monitoring Station

Turn around, pass the four breakers on your right and go down the stairs you came up. Go ahead and go right into the door with the yellow markings in front of it. Go down the two stairs, turn right at the House of the Enlightened with Apex Electronics to your left. Before you reach Kay's House go left through the passage with the red exit sign above. Pass MedBay to your left, go ahead at the crossing and take the first door on your left. Go up the stairs. Louisa waits for you in the monitoring station.
Louisa now knows that the power drain is at the Trade Authority, as she feard it might be. She goes down there to deal with that and would welcome your further assistance.

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 City_NA_Well01 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 City_NA_Well01.
