Jake's Street

Jake's Street

Look at the 3D console. Try to use the ComStation but it is broken (you will end up taking the cable and handset). Go to open the door and you will hear an explosion then go outside. Look at the lifeless body on the ground, and you will invite the girl upstairs.

Pull out the bed and the girl will sit down. Pick up the cup and fill it with water from the sink, then give the water to the girl, who tells you her name is Rose. After you wake up, close the window. Pick up Rose's handbag and look inside to get a photo and a "gold thingy". Use the cash printer near your door to get some money, then head outside.

Head outside and talk to Isabel - get her to contact Edward, but he will not help. Talk to the paramedic, then look at the body under the sheet. Switch to day time, then talk to Liza Tuttle at the news stand. Try to use the ComStation here, but your cable is broken. Get on your chopper and head to the station.

Police Station

Take the stylus from your desk and the nail polish from Isabel's desk. Look at the stack of crates, then push them to the other side of the office. Talk to Edward and ask for a replacement cable - he should give you one, but if he doesn't you can now take the one from Isabel's desk. In your inventory, combine this cable with your handset. Now use the ComStation here to look at all the available police files, including Rose's file. Leave the station.

Fat Franzy

Pick up the escort agency card from the ground, then talk to Fat Franzy, who asks you for some help with a poison problem. Use the ComStation here to try to call the escort agency, but you will just get a recorded message.

Police Lab

Talk to Simon and ask him to look at your TaGun. Now use the ComStation here to call the escort agency again, and they will call back - Simon will answer. While he is on the phone, go and take the toxin tester and darts from the cupboard on the right. After Simon sits down again, talk to him to get your gun back.

Fat Franzy

Use your toxin detector on the bottles and you will end up finding prussic acid. Talk to Fat Franzy about this, then about Rose to learn about her friend Alabama-Kate.

Red Light District

Talk to Alabama-Kate and you will take her upstairs, then come back down. Use the ComStation to look up everyone's files, then phone Patricia, who tells you to get DiazepamQ and magnesium.

Talk to Simon, then use the ComStation to order him an escort. Talk to Simon again to receive the DiazepamQ.

Head up to your apartment and use the TeleDoc next to your bed. Say you have cramps and you will receive some magnesium tablets.

Head upstairs and you will give Alabama-Kate the medication, then meet her downstairs and you will get Rose's address.

Rose's Loft

Look at the statue and insert your "gold thingy" into it to open a secret room. Head into the room and look at the portrait.

Storeroom

Talk to Khan when he comes in, then pick up the thick wire from the right. Use this wire on the central locker, then take the gloves from the top shelf. Use your chair on the heating pipe on the left, then use the gloves to protect your hands, and use the polymer rope on the heating pipe to free yourself.

Open the left locker and take the drill. Also pick up the ladder and the toolbox. Try to open the toolbox, then smash it against the wall on the left, and pick up the bit adapter, pliers and soldering iron. Combine the bit adapter with your drill - now you need a drill bit. Look in the drain on the floor, and use the pliers on the drain to get the bit. Combine this with the drill. Now use your ladder on the high ventilation shaft on the right. Climb up the ladder and look at the grate. Use your drill on the grate to remove it. Climb into the shaft to leave this room.

Factory

Pick up the hammer from near the bottom of the steps, and the gasoline can from the bottom left, then head right and take the extension cord from the floor and the yellow tube from the wall. Try to open the large door on the right, but it is locked. Look at the smoke alarm on the top left wall. Use your hammer to break the wooden pallet and take the pieces of wood. Place the wood on the metal platform beneath the smoke alarm and pour gasoline on the wood. Go and attach the extension cord to the socket next to where you found the gasoline can, then use your soldering iron on the wood. After Khan arrives, get into his van and you will steal it.
