Retrieve Ricardo Bosch’s Slate Walkthrough
Retrieve Ricardo Bosch’s Slate
In order to retrieve Ricardo’s Slate, you’ll need to travel to the Starstation near Voss, a moon orbiting planet Olivas in the Alpha Centauri system. Approach the station and hail it then dock there.
Once aboard the station, you’ll come across the corpse of a scientist so be ready for a fight. Follow the way forward bringing you to an open cargo storage room filled with a bunch of level 14 Va’Ruun Zealots. Deal with them then head through the door at the other end of the hall to head further into the facility.
In this next area of the facility, there will be even more level 14 Va’Ruun Zealots along with their level 20 boss who will be hiding out in the living quarters with two goons. If you want some help, you can recalibrate the Medical Robot to the left of Lab 1 or the right of Lab 2 to protect you. On the second level to the north of the area will be a computer you can use to unlock some doors releasing some level 30 and 40 bugs from their cages. They too will attack the Zealots (and also you).
Once you dealt with all of the enemies, head to Lab 1 on the first floor to find Bosch’s Slate on a stand under the monitor. Grab it then exit that station and return to Ricardo. Also, note there is a magazine in the Living Quarters on the third floor you might want that will permanently boost some of your stats.
When you’re ready, travel back to Ricardo and speak with him to hand the slate over. You’ll receive 100 EXP and 2500 credits.
