Start
Dr. A has survived (else see Dr Amundsen's Legacy) and Hel has returned from the Slags.
Outline
- Show the encrypted PDA from finishing the docks quest one way or another to Dr. A. She will tell you that you need to decode this by plugging it into a Midgard facility.
- Get admin level access in the midgard laboratory's terminal:
- Either hack the terminal to the highest level (very hard).
- Alternatively, get access via voice recording:
- Get to know that you need voice recording by talking to the lab terminal.
- Talk with the scientists in the Ramshackle Fortress on the second floor.
- Talk to them again and ask about Dr Johnson.
- Step up to the fifth floor, get etheric and last five rounds against Dr. Johnson to get a voice recording.
- Equip a PDA and play the recording to the lab terminal to get admin access FOR ONE SESSION ONLY.
- Plug in the encrypted PDA and have it decoded.
Rewards
- Proceeds the the survivors quest.
- Fang PDA.
- (Possibly) Permanent admin access to the lab terminal (useful for some paths of the the missing artist).
Start:
You're attempting to decrypt the PDA you found on the Fangs' boss's body.
Or, if you didn't kill the Fang Boss:
You're attempting to decrypt the PDA that the Fang's boss gave you in exchange for your mercy.
From what Dr. Amundsen says, you'll need to gain admin access to the server at one of Midgard's secure facilities and then connect the PDA. Apparently that will download the key you need from some central repository.
And, if you have interacted with the Lab Terminal in the Midgard Laboratory but don't have a computer equipped:
You've found a computer in the Slags Lab that might do the trick. You'll need a decent computer and maybe a voiceprint to get in.
Or, if you have interacted with the Lab Terminal in the Midgard Laboratory and have a computer equipped:
You've found a computer in the Slags Lab that might do the trick. You think you can connect with your computer, but a voiceprint might help bypass security.
After connecting the PDA to the Slags Lab:
You've decrypted the PDA. You should take the resulting files back to Dr. Amundsen. She'll be enthused.
Finished Quest:
You've decrypted the Fang's mysterious PDA.
