1. Entering the NCPD Lab

The quest starts when you receive River’s call upon finishing the quest, “I Fought the Law,” and after waiting 24 hours. After meeting with him, you’ll be riding to the NCPD Laboratory.

  • To enter the lab, either climb the wall or take the metal staircase to enter the place through an open window. Of course, if you have a good enough body attribute, you can slam through the front door as well. There is one more hidden entry through the side door, but you need your technical ability to be at atleast 12 to open it.

  • Once you’re inside, head straight to the cabinet in the room to the right of the evidence lab and scan it for evidence.

2. Start Looking for Clues Leading to Randy

Now you need to start looking for clues that will help find Randy. You will start investigating the trailer after speaking to Joss.

  • There’s going to be a key in the kitchen, which will help you open the cabinet next to the bed. Use it and scan the drawer afterward.

  • The main clue is going to be the laptop found under Randy’s bed. Scan it, and if you have +10 intelligence, you’ll be able to hack it.
  • If you don’t have appropriate intelligence, you can get the password by playing the radio; its Liberum Arbitrium.

I. Time to Search Randy’s Laptop

  • Once you read all the entries and messages, the next step in the quest will pop up, reading “View the page Randy mentioned.”

Randy’s Laptop
  • Upon going to the laptop’s net tab, click on the picture on the left, which will open a web page. There will be three links; click on the files link. The missing file here is the same as the one found under the laptop’s files tab.
  • Once you click on the main files tab again, a bizarre cartoon will pop up that River comments may be the definitive clue to finding Randy.
  • You will send the video to Yawen and get the information the next day, should you choose to say that you don’t have the skills.

3. Optional Objective: Finding Harris’s IP address

  • To find Harris’s IP address, you’ll have to hack the laptop and need at least 12+ intelligence.
  • Note that this won’t affect the quest’s progress in any way; you’ll still be sending the video to Yawen to move forward.

I. Analyzing Braindance’s First Section

  • Next morning, River is going to ask you to analyze three sections of a braindance.
  • The first section will be Harris’s childhood with him talking to a teacher. You’ll have to investigate the teacher and the school’s bulletin to the left of the teacher.
  • Check out the school trophy as well as it will reveal where Harris lived.

II. Braindance Section Two

  • In this section, scan the cow at the beginning, Harris’s father, and a console to his left.
  • Next, scan the injection and dietary supplements as the child walks away. Now, you can exit this section and move on to the last one.

III. Finally, Section Three:

  • This section will show adult Harris in a similar barn to that of his childhood.
  • Here are all the things you’ll have to scan in this one:
    • The solar panel at 00:24
    • The clock above the entrance to the barn from the office.
    • Security turrets and fuel barrels.
    • Victims, FDNC certificate, and a computer to the left of the main barn.
    • Farm signage and the number found top-left of the barn’s exit (IMPORTANT)

  • Upon analysis, you’ll find that the location corresponding to the IP Address, Farm number, and signage leads to Edgewood Farm.

4. Finishing it up

  • To enter the barn, climb the ladder on your left to an opening on the roof.
  • To also disable the cameras and the turrets interact with the switch hidden under the desk inside the upstairs bedroom. Find the computer controlling everything. Switch it off by interacting with the monitor showing the creepy cartoon.
  • A few choices will be presented to you after the cutscene that will affect your relationship with River.

5. River’s Romance Choices

  • Once you’ve saved the victims, a short cutscene will play, after which you’ll be presented with the options “Don’t do it, River” and “We Both will.” Choose all the options that show you’re willing to help him.
  • If you’re a female V, then the romance route will unlock in the next quest after 24 in-game hours.

6. About Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 is a 2020 action role-playing video game developed by CD Projekt Red and published by CD Projekt, based on video game designer Mike Pondsmith’s game series.

Set in a dystopian cyberpunk universe, the player assumes the role of “V,” a mercenary in the fictional Californian city known as “Night City,” where they deal with the fallout from a heist gone wrong that results in an experimental cybernetic “bio-chip” containing an engram of the legendary rock star and terrorist Johnny Silverhand (played by Keanu Reeves) threatening to slowly overwrite V’s mind; as the story progresses V and Johnny must work together to find a way to be separated and save V’s life.
