One of the higher-ups in Ryujin Industries hands you your first major operation. Your hard work has been recognized, and now you're being trusted with your first Top Secret assignment in the Ryujin Industries questline. Here's how to go about it and get the maximum benefit.
Starfield Top Secret Walkthrough
Head to the Executive Floor of Ryujin Industries
After your success in Maintaining the Edge, you'll gain access to the upper floors of Ryujin Tower. Take the elevator located in the lobby of Ryujin Tower in Neon City. You'll see an option to head up to the Executive Level.
Talk to Maeve
Go ahead and talk to Ularu Chen's secretary, Maeve. She will ask you to wait for Imogene and Ularu's meeting to clear up. You'll be let inside shortly.
Meet Ularu Chen
Ularu Chen is a senior executive at Ryujin Industries, and you've been recommended for a top-secret task by Imogene. Ularu will be the one briefing you on the details.
Travel to Cydonia on Mars
Travel to the Cydonia settlement on Mars in the Sol System. You might remember this from The Old Neighborhood Quest.
Talk to Simon Ryczek
Meet up with Simon Ryczek and talk to him. He will only speak with you if you remember the passcode. The passcode is "Razor derby is the only real sport". It's pretty funny to mess around with the incorrect options, but Simon Ryczek will get annoyed and charge you extra Credits if you do this.
Negotiate with Simon Ryczek
Simon Ryczek will change up his end of the bargain and demand that you either pay extra Credits or perform a side quest for him. If your companion is Andreja, she can bargain on your behalf. Otherwise, you can use the Persuasion skill to lower the cost from 10000 to 8000 Credits. Play your cards right, and you can get it down to 4000 Credits.
If the cost seems too much, you can always accept the side quest, giving you access to a unique new weapon and a new starship. The side quest involves hunting down Malai Liskova and returning with her gun as proof of death. Your companions won't appreciate this, but there's a way around that.
Find The Datura
Travel to the orbit of Saturn in the Sol System to find The Datura.
Talk to Malai Liskova
Once you arrive, you'll immediately be contacted by The Datura, Malai Liskova's ship. You can choose to attack right away or talk to her and persuade her into letting you dock. It's a relatively easy Persuasion check.
Dock the Datura
Dock The Datura and head to the cockpit to talk to Malai Liskova. Here, you have the choice of attacking her to get the weapon or persuading her to hand it over. This persuasion check is a bit more difficult, but she invited you on board to kill you anyway, so don't feel too bad if things go south.
Retrieve the Ember
Whether through negotiation or by force, collect the Ember from Malai Liskova.
Steal The Datura (Optional)
Even if you choose to persuade Malai Liskova and resolve the issue without violence, you can steal her ship without any consequences. Board the captain's seat and open your menu to register it as your own.
Return to Simon Ryczek
Head back to Simon Ryczek at Cydonia on Mars and show him the Ember as proof of a job well done. He'll hand over the files you need, and he'll also let you keep the Ember.
Check the Files
Read Stanley McMillan's File and Listen to the Audio File to learn about Project Dominion.
Retrieve the Project Dominion Files
Head to the nearby office and sneak up to Stanley's Computer. Deal with the two Novice locks and get your hands on the Project Dominion files.
Report to Ularu Chen at Ryujin Tower
Return to Ularu Chen on the Executive Floor of the Ryujin Tower and tell her about your findings. She'll ask you to follow her and meet Masako Imada.
Talk to Masako Imada
Talk to Masako Imada, the CEO of Ryujin Industries, who will trust you to find the mole in their operations. This will conclude the Top Secret quest.
