Walkthrough[edit]
Briefing[edit]
Imogene wants you to deal with a couple of high level executives in the Astral Lounge. Because of the connections between Ryujin, Benjamin Bayu and the Astral Lounge, Imogene wants absolute discretion on this job. Ryujin's techs failed to uncover a potential deal between Infinity LTD and Quantum Synergies until right before a critical meeting between the two. The technician responsible has already been fired, but you need to make sure that deal fails. Infinity LTD is one of Ryujin's aspiring competitors, they have products in several similar fields except ships and neuroamps. The deal suggests that Infinity LTD would like to get into the ship business as Quantum Synergies specializes in ship operating software. Ryujin would like to delay that by acquiring them as a partner. You have two goals on this job:
- Talk to Quantum Synergies' executives Executive Director Zola Adisa and Financial Manager Arthur Cruz to deter them from entering the deal with Infinity LTD and, if possible, steer them towards a partnership Ryujin Industries.
- Switch Infinity LTD's representative Nina Hart's presentations slate with an altered version provided by Imogene.
Imogene provides Dossier: Arthur Cruz, Dossier: Zola Adisa, Nina's presentation (fake) and a fitted business suit. You can optionally read to dossiers, which will be useful for persuasion checks later in the mission. You can talk to Imogene again to get some further details, but she will get quite annoyed. Leave Ryujin Tower and go to the Astral Lounge at the opposite end of Neon Core.
Influence Quantum Synergies against Infinity LTD[edit]
Zola Adisa is on the dance floor level of the Astral Lounge in a niche to the south of the dance floor. Talk to Zola and persuade her by utilizing the talking points Imogene gave you. Arthur Cruz is in vip booth 1 of the Astral Lounge. You need to ride the vip elevator which is on the north side of the dance floor. Vip Booth 1 is the first door on the right-hand side when you exit the elevator on the upper level. Talk to Arthur and persuade him by utilizing the talking points Imogene gave you.
Switch Nina Hart's presentation[edit]
Nina Heart has reserved a vip booth in the Astral Lounge. From the upper exit of the vip elevator, your back to the elevator, you need to go left, round a corner and past a Neon Security guard, and into the area behind the cords on the right side. It's the southern of the two booths which is to your left. Nina's presentation sits on a glass table. Replace it with the fake presentation. There are three ways to get into the suite:
- Pick the door's novice security level lock.
- Pickpocket Nina's Suite Keycard from Nina Hart.
- You can go into the booth to your right, open the ceiling hatch, climb up, and climb down into Nina's booth through the second hatch.
- Buy a "replacement" keycard from Boone Morgan at the bar on the dancefloor level.
- Pickpocket Nina's Suite Keycard from Boone Morgan.
If you want to talk to Nina Heart you can find her in a niche in the north-western corner on the dancefloor level, between the vip elevator and the exit. If you encourage her to take advantage of the free drinks she will relocate to the bar and you will get an extra commendation later. Close to the niche you can also find Angelo Soldani, a colleague of Nina's.

- 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 RI02 stage, wherestageis 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 usingresetquest RI02.
