Welcome to our guide for the Out On A Limb mission in Starfield! Out On A Limb is one of the misc missions you can pick up at New Atlantis. To start it, you’ll first need to have completed the A Tree Grows In New Atlantis mission. After that, wait until some time passes (like a day or two in-game) then check up on Kelton Frush near the big tree in the MAST District (we received an activity to go speak with him). Kelton will tell you that he needs to do more analysis on the tree, but his co-worker who has the data he requires won’t play ball and will then ask if you can help.
Talk to Emilio Hadek
To reach Emilio, head east from where Kelton was to find him inspecting a tree right next to the Lodge. Speak with him asking about the data and he’ll know right away you’re helping Kelton. The only way he will agree to hand over the data is if you do him a favor by erasing some data from his MAST file. After you agree to help him, you’ll be given the option to Persuade him to give you the data without deleting the files. If you pass that, he’ll then offer you credits in addition to the data if you delete the data. You can still tell him no and you’ll get his data. If you persuade him and delete his files, you’ll receive 1,000 credits.
Delete Files From the Terminal
So Emilio wants us to break into the Chief Engineer’s apartment to delete some data from his file…super. Head south from his location to reach the Orion Tower near the Residential District. Use the elevator to arrive on the floor of the apartment and take a right. It will be the first door on the left and you’ll need to use a digipick to break in. Go inside and locate the Chief Engineer’s Terminal on the desk and interact with it. Select the Personnel Files folder where you’ll see files for both Emilio and Kelton. You can read them both if want but make sure you select Purge All Files for Emilio (he will check that the files were deleted on your way back). Return to Emilio and tell him you did what he asked. He’ll then hand over his data.
Deliver Data to Kelton Frush
With the data finally in your hand, head back to Kelton and hand it over to him to complete the mission. You’ll be rewarded with 100 EXP and 2500 credits.
