Talk to Louisa Reyez
Speak with Louisa (she’ll either be in her office near the Medbay or by the Trade Authority) who will ask you to back her up while confronting Zoe. Agree to go with her then follow behind Louisa as she makes the trek to the Trade Authority. After the confrontation speak with Louisa again to calm her down. When Zoe returns, she claims that someone else is using the power through them and vows to help sending you out to find another junction box.
Locate the Junction Box
To reach the junction box, exit the Trade Authority and take a left going up the stairs to the left of the hallway. At the top of the second set of stairs, the junction box will be located above. If you have a jetpack, you can use its boost jump to climb up there. Otherwise, head down the stairs in front of you and take a right passing Jake’s heading toward the Medbay. Right after Jake’s take a left (should see a sign that says Upper Level) and follow the path up to reach the junction box at the end. Open it and flip the switch.
For the next junction box, Louisa and Zoe will both give you a different junction box to go to. The only difference between the choices is the dialog that plays. If you head to Louisa’s junction box, it can be found on the second level of the Well above Apex Electronics.
If you follow Zoe’s instruction, head back along the walkway to find it on the left after entering the first doorway. Go on and give that baby a flip.
To reach the next junction box, you’ll need to go topside and travel to the Residential District using the NAT. When you get there head left (going northeast) going to Athena Tower. The box can be found to the left of the main doors on the side of the outer wall. Flip that switch!
Now you’ll need to head into Athean Tower and take the elevator up. Follow the only path to reach a locked apartment door. Use a digipick to unlock it then head inside and interact with the Unauthorized Computer. You’ll want to download the files to collect the evidence.
Deliver the Evidence to Louisa or Zoe
With the evidence in hand, you’ll now have a choice to make. Will you deliver it to Louisa or Zoe? What it comes down to is who do you want favor with more. Giving the evidence to either Louisa or Zoe will reward you with 75 EXP and some credits.
