Quest Objectives

1. Meet with Hands' Contact
2. Enter the Exhibition Hall
3. Find Fiona's Office
4. Download the Data
5. Leave the Center

1. Meet with Hands' Contact

Go to the starting point and talk to Mr. Hands' netrunner outside the building. He will run you through the job and the disguise that you will take. Remember that you're a scout for San Diego Shredders, your name is Victor Wilson, and you're looking for a wide receiver.

Your actual objective is to find Fiona Vargas' office and steal the data about all the scouts she made a contract with.

2. Enter the Exhibition Hall

Follow the marker to the elevator and get scanned, then take the elevator down to the Exhibition Hall.

3. Find Fiona's Office

The entire floor will be highlighted and no marker will pinpoint you the location of her office (unless you attack). Some clues can be obtained by looking around and doing the optional objectives. You can ask the receptionist about Fiona, but she will just tell you that you'll need an appointment to do that.

Talk to the Bartender

If you decide to play along a little longer, take a seat at the bar and speak with the bartender. Ask Does Dr. Fiona ever show up here? and he will mention that her office is downstairs.

Requesting for a drink will prompt the bartender to ask which team you're scouting for. Tell him it's San Diego Shredders and a guy named Caden from another seat will interrogate you about the team (the other choice will lock you out of the next event).

Regardless of your answers, the bartender will call for one of the guards to run another identity verification. You can choose to drop the act at this point or follow the guard at the back.

Follow the Security Guard

The guard will take you to a small room where your hand will be scanned. Whether you comply or not, every staff in the building will become hostile so be prepared.

Take the Elevator to the Office

A marker will now appear to guide you to Fiona's office. Take the elevator at the back of the stage further down to the athlete zone. Follow the marker while getting through the enemies and you will arrive at the office, where you can also find a kid named Tommie.

4. Download the Data

The computer with the data is right next to Tommie, but you can talk to him first to calm him down and get to know each other.

You'll find out that you don't have access to the data after trying to download it, and Fiona will exit her office right on cue.

This conversation can go in more ways than one, but your fixer's only concern is the data, so you can choose based on your preference.

5. Leave the Center

Take the elevator back up and exit the building. If you left Fiona alive, she will send her men to wait for you outside. Take them out and walk out of the vicinity to complete the quest.

Gig: Talent Academy Choice Guide

Should You Accept the Controlled Leak?

These options will only appear if you hear Fiona out. Again, the choices are for role-playing purposes only and none of these will affect your rewards. You can get the data in any way you want.

The main dilemma here is that you can either end their operation and have the childen be left on the streets with their chrome unchecked, or let Fiona continue to use children as test subjects that could be easily discarded if they're not chosen by scouts.

Additionally, both Mr. Hands and possibly his clients know about the nature of the facility, but only care about the unpaid taxes, leaving you another decision to make: to give them the real data or the altered ones.

Choice 1: Kill Fiona Right Away or Turn Down Her Offer

After finding out what Fiona and her facility has been doing on the children, you can shoot her as soon as she makes an appearance and get the access key from her corpse. This will give you access to the data you need from the computer and the elevator.

You can also turn down her offer and forcibly take the access key to the computer so you can get the data.

Choice 2: Accept the Controlled Leak and Leave Peacefully

You can hear Fiona's proposition to release a controlled leak instead. Johnny will disapprove it, but you can at least get back at the clients for not doing anything about the facility.

Choice 3: Accept the Controlled Leak, Sign Tommie to a Team, and Kill Everyone

This could possibly be the best option available for this choice event.

After Fiona laid out her offer, reply with What are Tommie's chances of getting signed? to unlock another yellow option: We'll do the leak, but Tommie gets signed. Fiona will close the deal right away and send the controlled leak on your way.

It's not over yet! Johnny will appear again and suggest to "burn the place with her inside it". You can listen to this voice in your head and kill the staff in the building (if there are still remaining) then Fiona.
