• Unlocking the quest and reading the dossiers
• Making Arthur Cruz turn against Infinity Ltd.
• Making Zola Adisa turn against Infinity Ltd.
• Swapping Nina Hart's presentation

Unlocking the quest and reading the dossiers

1. To unlock the quest in question, you need to complete Access is Key quest from Imogen first - this task from Ryujin Industries faction questline we describe in detail on the previous page of the walkthrough.
2. With the initiation of the new quest, you'll receive Fitted Business Suit, false presentation and Dossiers of characters you need to convince to change their mind so two corporations cannot come to an agreement.
3. Viewing the Dossiers on Arthur Cruz and Zola Adisa is an optional step - you'll find them in Notes tab of your inventory.

Making Arthur Cruz turn against Infinity Ltd.

1. The two characters you need to apply pressure to can be found in Astral Lounge in Neon - leave the Ryujin skyscraper and get to the other side of the city.
2. After entering the Astral Lounge, use the elevator to reach the VIP balcony. The easiest way to convince Arthur Cruz to change his mind is through a successful Persuasion check. Alternatively, you can choose dialogue options based on what you've learned from his dossier and observe his reactions.
3. Regardless of the chosen variant, save the game before initiating the conversation. This will allow you to repeat it if you fail to convince the man.

Making Zola Adisa turn against Infinity Ltd.

1. Zola Adisa can be found in the vicinity of the dancefloor - you'll find her sitting down on the outskirts of the club's main hall.
2. Just like before, you can complete a Persuasion check or choose dialogue options based on information from the dossier.

Swapping Nina Hart's presentation

1. Go to the VIP balcony again. If you are having trouble finding the presentation, activate your Hand Scanner and follow the arrows on the ground.
2. The entrance to VIP Booth is locked, but the lock is of lowest difficulty level. Inside, the presentation that is to be swapped is on a round table (screenshot).
3. After completing all of the steps, report your actions to Imogen in Ryujin skyscraper. You'll be rewarded with XP, 10,000 credits, and a consumable Reconstim. You'll also unlock a new mission in the quest line - Accidents Happen.
