Top Secrets Walkthrough
Meet Ularu Chen
Take the elevator across from Lane Garza’s desk up to the Executive Offices. Head all the way up the flights of stairs to reach the top of the Executive Offices. Once there, speak with Maeve at the desk outside of the main office. Follow Imogene up the stairs and wait with her outside of the office. You’ll overhear the tail end of the previous meeting. Head inside when it concludes to meet Ularu.
Travel to Cydonia on Mars in the Sol System
Make your way over to Cydonia. Once there speak with Simon Ryczek. When he asks about sports, say “Razor derby is the only real sport.” You’ll then be able to persuade him to pay 8,000 credits or pay him 10,000 credits outright Alternatively, you can hear about a side job he has.
For this side job, he’ll want you to kill Malai and bring her gun back as proof. You can find her ship, the Datura, in orbit around Saturn.
Find Datura
Make your way to Saturn in the Sol System to find the Datura. Accept the hail then speak with Malai. If you decide not to kill her, you’ll board her ship to acquire her gun, Ember. Head inside and work your way up to the cockpit to find Malai and speak with her in person. She’ll of course want to kill you so you’ll need to either persuade her or attack her.
Return to Simon in Cydonia
Report back to Simon.
Study up on Stanley McMillan
Open your inventory and listen to Audio: Stanley McMillan and read File: Stanley McMillan.
Retrieve the Project Dominion Files
Head across the way from Simon to the Deimos Staryard Corporate Quarters. Inside you’ll find Stanley sitting at his computer. If you speak with him and have the Security skill, you’ll say that “Deimos tech support. I need to verify your PC is secure.” He’ll leave his computer and just give you access. Alternatively, you can use one of the other options to get him to leave. Go to the “Deimos Staryards Presentation” then open “Project Dominion”. You’ll need to hack the novice lock on this file. Next, download the file.
Return to Ryujin Tower
Report back to Ularu then follow her across the way to Masako. Speak with Masako Imada to complete the mission.
