One Step Ahead Walkthrough
Upload the Program at CeltCorp
Exit Ryujin Industries and make your way straight ahead. At the end of the path you’ll spot neon pink stairs leading up to Astral Lounge. Just before these stairs, take a right to find CeltCorp.
Enter the elevator and take it up to the CeltCorp floor. Head inside and locate the cubicles to find the computer you’ll need to use to upload the program.
Please note this computer is locked (novice), so you’ll need to use a Digipick to gain access! Try to avoid detection as it results in a bounty!
After unlocking the computer, select “Upload Program”. Before you leave, make sure to grab the Neon Nights 03 from the arm of the couch in the cubicle area.
Return to Imogene at Ryujin Tower
Report back to Imogene to complete the mission. She’ll inform you that clean work (meaning no problems) equals maximum payout! If you weren’t caught, you’ll receive 100 XP and 1000 credits.
