• Finding the blueprint

Initating the quest and traveling to Trident Luxury Lines Staryard

1. To start this mission, you need to complete Accidents Happen mission first - check the previous page of our guide. Talk to Imogen to receive the mission involving the theft of the prototype blueprint.
2. Trident Luxury Lines Staryard is a space station orbiting the planet of Akila. To dock there, you need to fly to it with your own spaceship.

Finding the blueprint

1. Follow the blue marker to reach a locked door on the lower level of the station. The lock is simple to override, but before using a digipick, make sure you're in stealth mode. If needed, wait for the local NPC to turn the other way.
2. The next step is opening the chest from the screenshot. Its lock is also easy to pick, but once again make sure you're undetected. The chest hides the prototype blueprint.
3. Once you got it, leave the station and return to Imogen in Ryujin skyscraper. She will tell you that you've been promoted, able to enter Executive level, and meet Ularu Chen. As for rewards, you'll receive XP, 2,500 credits, and 3 med packs. A new mission - Top Secrets - will also be unlocked.
