How Should You Deal With Sheila?

All Choices and Endings
Tell Sheila the Truth	Fix Sheila's Cognition	Destroy Sheila

Before the quest reaches its ending, Gunn will ask you how to deal with Protoype 157, also known as Sheila. You can choose one of the above answers to decide Sheila's fate.

Please Tell Sheila the Truth

Joanne: Her cognitive module was burned due to information overload... It seems that telling her the truth was a bad decision.

Telling Sheila the truth about her existence will have her undergo an existential crisis. This results in an information overload that leaves her cognitive module burned. Joanne will then remark that this is possibly the worst outcome possible.

Please “Fix” Sheila's Cognition

Sheila will have her memories of the past fully wiped. This serves as a complete restart to her life. Joanne remarks that this is the best outcome.

Please Destroy Sheila

Gunn: I promise you this. When I leave, I will choose a quiet time to bring Prototype 157 (Sheila) with me to the disposal site and destroy her there.

Gunn promises to destroy Sheila despite the fact that this is against his wish, but later admits that this is a safe choice to make. Speak to Joanne after Gunn departs from the medical wing to reflect on your decision.

What Happens After the Quest Ends?

Sheila's Location

After clearing the Guide Paradox mission, you can encounter and interact with Sheila near Herta's Office regardless of what option you chose.

Interacting with Sheila again unlocks the Does She Walk Alone? Achievement which rewards 5 Stellar Jades.
