Official Summary

"Ularu Chen has completely bought into the player by now and wants to meet them. She sends the player to meet up with one of her contacts, Simon Ryczek, who has a lead that she may find valuable. After gaining information from Simon, the player breaks into an office in Cydonia to steal the information and bring it back to Chen. Chen realizes it's for Project Dominion and takes this information to Masako Imada, Ryujin's CEO, to discuss the new info. The only answer is that there must be a mole within the company."

Walkthrough

Imogene told you Ularu wants to see you, so you need to go up to the executive offices floor. Before you leave you can talk to Imogene to get som further information.

Executive Floor

When you are ready ride the elevator to the executive offices. You can talk to Thomas Ellicott at the front desk if you need directions.
Then you go up the big staricase to the west and straight ahead the nest staircase that turn to the right. Turn right again, then left, and walk into the antechamber until Ularu's assistant Maeve stops you. Talk to her and she will tell you to wait because Ularu is wrapping up a meeting with Genevieve. Meanwhile Imogene catches up.

When Meave tells you Ularu is ready for you now go towards Ularu's office where Ularu and Genevieve are finishing up. Ularu and Imogene recap you performance so far, then Ularu has a personal assignment for you. You need to meet with Simon Ryczek who claims to have information about a new project Infinity LTD is working on. Your job is to buy the information from Simon, including negotiating the price. You'll get reimbursed for up to 1,000 Credits.

Simon requires am exchange of code phrases. He will say "Looks like the Galactic Raiders are the number one pick for the Universal Championship this year."
Your response will be "Razor derby is the only real sport." You will find Simon in Cydonia above the Luxe condos in the plaza.

If you want to talk to Imogene again she will be waiting next to Maeve's desk. You can also take a look around executive level and talk to Linden Calderi, Genevieve Monohan, Alexis Pryce and you can meet Dalton Fiennes. If you want you can take the elevator to research and development level and meet Veena Kalra and DeMarcus Sterling.

Cydonia

Then travel to Cydonia on Mars in the Sol system.
Go into the Cydonia central hub and go straight ahead through the curtains and down the ramp. Don't go down the stairs but pass them on the left and go in front of Enhance!, Reliant Medical and UC Enchange. Turn left and go up the stairs and turn right. Simon Ryczek is leaning on the railing. Talk to him until he says his code line "Looks like the Galactic Raiders are the number one pick for the Universal Championship this year.". Answer with "Razor derby is the only real sport."

Simon has information about proposed a deal between Infinity LTD and Deimos Staryard which he believes is highly valuable and therefore he uppes his price. You can pay his demand of 10,000, persuade him to lower the price to 8,000or do a side job for him.

The Side Job

The mercenary Malai Liskova is after Simon. He wants her dead and is willing to accept her gun as proof of her death as payment. Her ship, the Datura, is in Saturn's orbit.
So go to you ship and fly to Saturn. Once you are in orbit Malai will hail you. You can accept the hail, reject the hail or just open fire.

Malai claims that she is not after Simon's life but that it is the other way around. She won't tell you what the grundge between them is though. You can get some further information and come to the agreement that Malai will hand over her gun if you board her ship. Or you can end the hail and attack.
If you decide to dock go through two hatches to reach the bridge. Malai discloses more background of the situation between her and Simon. She also discloses that she does not intent to give you her gun but instead she plans to kill you. You can kill her or try to persuade her to keep the deal. Either way you end up with Ember.
If you choose to destroy the Datura you need to pick up Malai's gun from the wreckage. Return to Simon in Cydonia where you can get the full picture of his past with Malai out of him.

The Information

Simon hands over his information. It is about a deal for Project Dominion which, he guesses, is about Infinity LTD getting into the neuroamp business. He has three slates for you. A text file and an audio file containing surveillance and interaction data for Stanley McMillan, the Infinity LTD representative. Untraceable Storage Slate enables you to download the files on Project Dominion off Stanley's computer. You can find File: Stanley McMillan and Audio: Stanley McMillan in the Notes section of you inventory.

Get the Files

To retrieve the Project Dominion files you have to access Stanley's Computer at Deimos' office. It is locked with novice security level so you can either pick the locks of steal Stanley McMillan's Access Card.
The file Simon provided tells you where to find Stanley. You can pickpocket his access card from him. You may want to talk to him anyway to get some further background information.
With or without the access card, you need to go to the Deimos Staryard corporate quarters in Cydonia. It is the last office on the west side of the central path. If you are in the central area, where the big staircase leads down to the SSNN kiok and the Face of Cydonia, you need to pass the buildings on the west side, which is your right if you are looking down towards the mines. Pass the Trade Authority and UC office of the governor-general and continue ahead until you are in front of the Deimos Staryard corporate quarters.
Stanley's computer is in the cubicle on the far right side. If you come after office hours, as laid out in File: Stanley McMillan, you will have an easier time sneaking around. Stanley's computer is locked with novice security level. Inside you can find some more effects of your actions in Sowing Discord, as well as the files for Project Dominion wich are secured with another novice security level lock and can be accessed with Stanley McMillan's Access Card.

Back to Neon

Go back to Ularu's office at executive offices level at Ryujin Tower in Neon on Volii Alpha in the Volii System. Ularu quickly decrypts the file and discovers that Project Dominion is actually a Ryujin prototype that Infinity it attempting to copy. Ularu will inform Masako immediately and wants you to come with.
Follow Ularu out of her office and across the antechamber. Masako is incredulous the Infinity could get their hands on Project Dominion and wants Fiennes to investigate.
Since you helped to uncover the situation Masako wants you to help investigate. That Infinity has information on Project Dominion means that there is a well connected mole within Ryujin. Masako discloses that Project Dominion is an internal neuroamp, the first attempt at such a device, and she wants you to assist Chief of security Dalon Fiennes with the investigation.

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 RI03 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 RI03.
