More specifically, you need to head to the Solar Arrays and go to the central solar power station, marked on the map above.

Solar Arrays plant

Approach the power plant and you’ll find some Netwatch agents have cordoned off the area and are inspecting a corpse.

Netwatch agent in the area

They won’t allow you to get any closer, though you can always just resort to violence! Kill them and they won’t be able to deny you entry.

Netwatch agent takes a bullet to the head

Take them out and you’re free to explore the crime scene!

Corpse's device

Explore the corpse and you’ll find that they have a device with no messages. Who was this person, anyway?

Corpse's identity revealed

Well, if you check the nearby table with Netwatch equipment, you’ll learn that the corpse’s identity is Laurie Anderson.

Netwatch's Truck

Even more interestingly, look for a large truck with an open compartment and hop inside. The table inside this truck has a few interesting tidbits for us!

Netwatch And Sandra Dornet Easter Eggs

"Sandrad & [REDACTED]" log in the truck

The first thing of note in here is a readable shard that logs a conversation between Sandra Dornet and an unknown party.

QR code that leads to IRL website

To the left of the log, you’ll find a QR code that decodes to a real-life Netwatch website which requires login credentials to access.

Login credentials for the website in godawful handwriting

Thankfully, the login credentials are also found on the table!

The handwriting is a pain to understand, so here’s the website and login credentials for you to use:

The website after you input the login credentials

You’ll get access to the archives section of the Netwatch’s website, which has a lot of strange pictures for you to look through.

Netwatch emails

Also, check the computer on the table to read some e-mails from Netwatch agents talking about Sandra Dornet and other netrunners. Even more lore!

Looting the lootbox

Lastly, make sure to check the small box to the left of the table. It has some Quickhack Components, a Self-ICE cyberware, and a Headhopper weapon mod.
