Start the quest by talking to Imogene on the Operations floor of Ryujin Tower. Imogene will explain the situation with CeltCorp and brief you on the mission.
Head to the marked building and take the elevator up to CeltCorp's floor. The target computer where you will upload the program is just a few rooms ahead.
It will also require one digipick and zero prying eyes. You don't want to get caught lockpicking and get yourself arrested!
Before digipicking the target computer at CeltCorp, where you will upload the program from Imogene, make sure no one's around first or you'll get a bounty on your head!
There's a security officer guarding the area as well as some employees in the computer room, but you can get them to leave by waiting on the chair in the meeting room to wait and skip time, preferably until midnight.
Check the room and make sure people are either gone or not looking at the computer before doing your job. You can also quicksave before digipicking just to be safe!
Lockpicking Guide and How to Pick Locks
Exit the building and walk back to the Ryujin Tower. Take the elevator to the Operations floor and report to Imogene to get your payment and complete the quest!
