Wait 24 Hours For Keoni To Collect Her Data
After completing Defensive Measures, you’ll need to wait for 24 hours in game time. When it is up, speak with Keoni to see how it went. She’ll tell you she thinks someone sabotaged her tech and asks for your help by speaking with Davis.
Talk to Davis Wilson
Head to the eastern tower and speak with Davis. He will not be amused with Keoni’s meddling and will also mention that the beasties are acting funny. You’ll then be invited to help him patrol. When you’re ready, meet him at the eastern gate and tell him you’re good to go.
Assist Davis on Patrol
Follow behind Davis as the two of you go on patrol. When you reach the damaged security robot, you’ll be ambushed by a group of Ashta. Take care of them then speak with Davis afterward. He’ll send you back to the city to check the access logs on the terminal in the barracks.
Search the Security Logs
When you reach the barracks head inside and make your way to the terminal. Interact with it the check the access logs for the robot. You’ll see that Bailey Kirklin was the last person to access the logs. Head outside the Barracks to find and speak with her. She’ll admit to messing with the robot to try and help Davis out. You’ll then have a choice to make.
Extort Bailey
You can extort Bailey for 275 credits. She’ll wipe the logs and you can tell Davis that they were corrupted. This will complete the mission and you’ll be rewarded 75 EXP and 5500 credits.
Turn Bailey In
If you choose to turn Bailey in, Davis will be disappointed in her and the mission will be completed. You’ll also be rewarded with 75 EXP and 5500 credits. Turning her will put her on thin ice with Davis, but he won’t fire her just yet regardless of which option you pick.
