Open it to enter the proper Maelstrom lobby. If you shoot them or any other security devices, Maelstrom will be antagonistic toward V and Jackie.Ĭontinue to follow Jackie and you'll reach a closed door.

It seems Maelstrom took far more than just the bot from Militech. There are lots of them lining it, and some in the upcoming doorway. Once you get to the stairs, though, observe the Militech mines. There are plenty of random Shards and other junk to pick up along the way. Return to Jackie and continue on into the Maelstrom lair. In the back of this area is a crate with Uncommon Item Components and a Shard. Upon entering, immediately walk to the right past the shelves. They'll let V and Jackie in without much fuss. Approach the intercom and let them know Dex sent you. (You'll need to have this amount in order to, you know, buy it.)Ĭhoose your option, then, if you're ready to take on the mission, follow Jackie across the street to the All Foods gate.

We'll pay again, but with Militech cred.

Doubt this'll go smoothly (implying a fight).

Jackie isn't thrilled about Maelstrom and wants to know if you have a plan to deal with them. Once you're done with the small talk, choose the Maelstrom option.

As shown below, if you're a Nomad, you can talk to him about his motorcycle, and depending on your attributes, you can even comment on how it's built. The most important thing here is to talk to him about Maelstrom, though you can strike up other conversations. Jackie is waiting for you on the side of the road. In case you haven't checked that in a minute, you can find the Cyberdeck menu on the bottom right of the Inventory screen. V will give a verbal confirmation that the Shard is clean and you'll find the new Quickhack in your Cyberdeck called Synapse Burnout. Once you've input that you'll not only have neutralized the malware, you'll also get a new Quickhack for free. She'll set the place: under an overpass in Watson, not far from where you're supposed to meet Jackie. She's already pissed when you call her, and her attitude doesn't improve much when you tell her you want a meeting. Here's what happens if you work with Meredith Stout:Ĭall Meredith. When you reach the end you can fight Royce or stealth around him to the exit. You’ll still get the case with the Flathead so you can absolutely complete the mission this way if you want to spice up the fighting and tone down the dialogue. Instead of having any sort of sit down meeting you can start the combat right away. You can bypass conversations and instead go in as aggressively as possible by destroying the turrets and blowing up the mines at the entrance of the Militech base. Here's what happens if you choose to take on Maelstorm yourself: If you sided with Militech and don't save Brick
