Start
After helping Hel, talk to her about what to do next and about her approach.
Outline
Finding the Place where they take the bums
Method 1: Getting Snatched
- Dress like a bum: Equip 3 of bum disguise equipment.
- Get Etheric (Slags Poisoning also works).
- Get Pep in Your Step, either from drugs (pep pill, caffeine powder, or cut nova) or the Calm Section or Lower Calm Section Below the Charnel House.
- Adventure in Southside Park until you get the Van Pickup adventure and chose to "Surrender peacefully".
Method 2: Trail the Kidnappers
- Be sober (no Etheric-type effect active)
- Have at least 20 (buffed?) Strength and Reflexes, and 7 Stealth Power (you may have a chance with less Stealth Power)
- Adventure in Southside Park until you get the Abduction encounter and choose "Trail them"", and then "Keep trailing them"
In either case, after you have found the Buried Lab you can select "Sneak into the lab" from the "Metros" tab while in Southside if you leave and want to return.
Find some proof of who is behind this.
Adventure in the Buried Lab until you find and use 7 of Southside lab documentation and/or Southside lab footage to implicate Midgard Special Projects. This will give you the option to ask Hel "Take a look at these records" or "Take a look at this recording".
Before the Omega Order
Downloading Southside lab footage
- Equip an electrical kit
- At the Cell Block encounter, choose "Investigate the wiring"
- Equip a computer
- At the Cell Block encounter, choose "Download footage"
Pickpocketing Southside lab notes (low alert only)
- Gain Stealth Power. 5 seems to guarantee success, but you have a chance with less
- Look for the In their Native Environment encounter, then choose "Pick pockets". Successful pickpocketing depends on your pickpocketing skill. More investigation needed.
After the Omega Order
- Look for the Southside Lab Corpsepile pile encounter and choose "Grab their stuff". Equipping an air filter gives you more items, and thus a better chance of finding Southside lab notes
- Find the Southside Lab Office encounter. If you have a MSPSSP key, choose "Open the desk". Otherwise, choose "Search the corpse" to get a key and look for this encounter again.
Rewards
- Proceeds the storyline.
- Unlocks the Cover Fire and/or? Wild Kick techniques.
- May be a prerequisite for acquiring the Boundless Patience skill
- Give the opportunity to acquire corroded dermal plates
