Welcome to our guide for the Absolute Power Starfield mission!
PLEASE NOTE: Some of the planets referenced in our guides and walkthroughs may not match up with yours due to how Starfield was created. In these situations, what you do and the places you visit on those planets should still be the same.
Starting Absolute Power
Absolute Power is one of the faction missions for the Crimson Fleet. You’ll start it automatically after completing The Best There Is mission.
Absolute Power Objectives
Travel to Neon
For the Absolute Power Starfield mission, travel to Neon in the Volii System on planet Volii Alpha. Once you’re there, stroll over to Madame Savage’s Place by heading through the door to the left of Mining League. Inside, go to the second level to find Estelle and speak with her. She’ll tell you what you need to do then send you on your merry way.
Locate Evidence to Extort Ayumi Komiko (Optional)
To find evidence, travel to the Trade Tower and use the elevator to reach Generdyne Industries. Speak with Ji Nashida behind the desk asking about his boss and persuading him to help you out. This will grant you access to her office where you’ll be able to loot the Meeting with Bayu (Evidence) slate from her safe (which Ji unlocked). Before grabbing the slate, make sure to activate the switch to the right of it closing the blinds. That way the nearby security guard won’t catch you stealing the evidence.
Ask Myka About Ayumi Komiko’s Whereabouts
At the Neon Core, head through the EBBSIDE door to the right of the Emporium to reach Euphorika. Head inside and speak with Myka behind the bar asking her about Ayumi. She’ll be defensive and tell you to shove off which you can counter by saying you’re with the Crimson Fleet. She’ll cave and tell you that Ayumi can be found in the Members’ Lounge then say if you want to there, you’ll need to buy a membership for 5000 credits. Enter the lounge via using the pass on the door across from Myka. Walk up the stairs to find Ayumi in the back. You can kill her and take the pass from her or use the evidence you found to make her hand it over willingly.
Enter Genedyne Through the Storage Entrance
With the pass in your possession, travel to the Underbelly and head to Generdyne Industries. Go around the right side of the building to find a locked door. Use your pass to gain entry to the building.
Obtain the Conduction Grid Data
Use the nearby vent to sneak into the main area of the facility then continue sneaking following the objective. Make sure to go slowly and keep an eye out for the guards and robots patrolling the area. When you reach the Conduit Control Room, head through the doorway and hug the left wall to reach the maintenance tunnel. Follow that to reach a room with a guard standing nearby. You’ll need to hug the left wall sneaking past the guard. Behind the computer the employees are working on, you’ll find a vent that will take you to just outside the Master Control Room. To the left of the Master Control Room is another vent you’ll want to enter.
Follow along the duct then drop down at the end and head through the doorway on the left. Follow the hallway to the end then take a left to reach Power Storage. Use the elevator there to reach the Power Core Computer terminal where you’ll want to download the Conduction Grid Plans.
Locate Breyson Bayu
Head west through the room and up the stairs. Cross the room and pass through the doorway on the other side. Take a right and enter the vent straight ahead. Follow along the shaft and you should come out facing the Research Director’s Office. Head into this office. There will be another vent behind the desk. Use it to reach Breyson Bayu’s office then head inside.
Speak with Breyson who will happily hand over his password. Access his terminal and download the Decryption Routine. While you’re there, also make sure to upload Estelle’s virus. You’ll then be able to use the elevator in the office to reach Trade Tower outside of the Astral Lounge.
Return to Estelle
Enter the Astral Lounge and use the VIP Elevator to reach the balcony. Enter Booth 2 to speak with… Benjamin Bayu!! He will want to know who is profiting from the virus that Estelle had us upload. In doing so, Bayu will let you leave the city. You’ll then be presented with a choice. You rat out Estelle, tell him it was Breyson or say it’s you. If you give up Estelle or tell him it was Breyson, they will be dealt with. As Delgado asked you not to ruin the relationship with Estelle, then going you’ll want to go with Beryson if you choose this route. Otherwise, telling him it was you will result in a bounty getting put on your head (we went with that option).
Locate Estelle at Madame Sauvage’s Place
Leave the Astral Lounge and head back to Madame Sauvage’s Place. Head through the door to the left of the bar to find Estelle. Speak with her.
Return to the Key
With the job in Neon done, make your way back to the Key and speak with Naeva. This will complete the mission and you’ll be rewarded with 350 EXP and some credits.
