Follow Kitt's Directions
After speaking to Kitt, follow the path inside the facility and destroy the glowing red orb to remove the obstacle. You'll then need to jump through a small laser grid to get to the other side.
Find the Handyterms with the Research Data
Head further into the large room and approach the second table to the left to find the research data. You'll then need to fix the repair logic puzzle.
How to Solve the Repair Logic Puzzle
Arrange the three repair logic pieces like the image above to solve the puzzle and repair the module. You then need to read the research data to collect it and progress the quest.
Recover the Second Research File
Head further inside the facility to enter a room with a few laser grids. Turn right from here into another room and approach the table to the right to find the research data. You'll need to fix another repair logic puzzle to retrieve and read the second file.
How to Solve the Repair Logic Puzzle
Arrange the three repair logic pieces like the image above to solve the puzzle, and then read the research data to progress the quest.
Recover the Last Research Data
Head north through the hallway with a laser grid and quickly run to the left room to avoid getting hit.
The last research data is on a table within this room. Interect and read the file to collect it and progress the quest.
Talk to Harper
Exit the room north and use one of the boxes to jump over the laser grid, then enter the control room on the right side of the hallway where Harper is located.
Speak to Harper and go through his dialogue and you'll be presented with three options: keep his secret safe, share his data, or give him data related to his research.
The Third Option is the Best Choice
We recommend you pick the third option whihc is to give him data related to his research. This resolves his dilemna positively and he'll happily agree to share his data with you.
Get the Repair Logic Puzzle Piece in Harper's Room
Although not part of the quest, we recommend you interact with the glowing yellow circuitry in the middle the room where Harper is located.
This is an Orginium Circuitry Component Style that is required for a repair logic puzzle in a later quest called Repair Story.
Submit the Research Data
Exit Harper's room and follow the path right and interact with the switch to open the door leading back outside.
As soon as you head outside, Kitt will contact you on your Baker and you'll automatically submit the research data which also completes the quest.

Comment
Anonymous 22 daysAdding any kind of hints on where Kitt is or how to find them would make the rest of the guide a lot more useful. You linked a guide to another quest that makes no mention of Kitt whatsoever.
