Obtained: Speak with DeWitt Hathaway in the Purpleberry Orchards
Stop the Exterminator AutoMechs
The AutoMechs are located northeast of the hive in a cluster of trees. Defeat them all to complete this objective. Alternatively, the garage that stores them is located near the conservatory. There you will find a terminal that can recall them to the garage. It requires 60 Hacking or the Exterminator Automech Terminal Access Card.
Inspect the Fried Console
Travel to the console near the center of the map surrounded by hedges. Use the Discrepancy Amplifier on the console then exhaust all of the dialog options.
Investigate the Dead Saplings
Head to the Hive located on the southern part of the Orchards then head northwest towards the fields leading to the RR&DD Labs. Look for the two orange trees along the edge of the field to find a metal canister between them. Inspect it with the Discrepancy Amplifier and exhaust all of the dialog options.
Question the Rizzo’s Intern
If you used the terminal to recall the AutoMechs, inspected the fried console then investigated the dead saplings, travel to the warehouse and speak with Anna Summers, the intern. Exhaust all the dialog options to learn that she was behind all the issues.
Speak to DeWitt Hathaway
Return to DeWitt and speak with him. Go over the results of the investigation then agree to help the two parties by being the mediator. Please note that if you questioned Anna, you’ll be able to identify her as the culprit for all the mishaps. You can then determine her fate at the company. You’ll then need to choose one of the options to complete the quest. The rewards for each choice are listed below.
