False Positives Walkthrough

Wait 24 Hours (UT)

You can sit in a chair or lie down in a bed and wait for 24 hours to pass in Universal Time after completing the quest, Defensive Measures. Note that Universal Time is not the same as planetary time.

Talk to Keoni Alpin About the Data

Find Keoni Alpin, and she'll tell you that her data is giving her some dangerous readings. Furthermore, the Freestar Security members seem to be completely ignoring her. She requests that you speak to Davis Wilson on her behalf.

Go to the East Gate and Talk to Davis Wilson

Davis will head downstairs to the East Gate next to his patrol spot. You can join him immediately and head outside. He'll ask you to bring your best guns. Unnecessary.

Eventually, you'll reach a spot with a modified and wrecked Freestar Security Robot that seems responsible for the footprints.

Defeat the Ashta

Three small Ashta will spawn from under the ground and surround you. Luckily, they're Level 5 only and weaker than their wild counterparts. Kill them with whatever you have handy.

Talk to Bailey Kirklin

Head outside and confront Baily Kirklin. You can extort some Credits from her, but your companions won't like this. Your companions will like it if you suggest that you ask for Davis to go easy on her. Your choice here won't affect any parts of the story.
