Now go back to Covenant and ask Talia or Penny about the missing caravan, during this dialogue, give them some ointment so that they tell you about the “Complex” (picture7). At the end of this dialogue, wait until nightfall and then wait until all the inhabitants go to bed. If you have the right skills, head to the easternmost house and discreetly unlock the door (picture8).

If this is not the case, you can either steal the house key from one of the inhabitants (picture9) or recover it during the day on the tablet in the doctor's office (picture10).

Now go to the exit of the city, you will then be stopped by Jacob who will try to convince you to forget this whole story (picture15). During this dialogue, ask him to “Speak clearly” and then use your persuasion to find a compromise (picture16). Doing so will make the rest of the mission easier to unfold.

At the end of the dialogue, go to the quest marker and enter the sewers to find Dan (picture17). Once inside, approach the guards to start the dialogue. If you have managed to smooth things over with Jacob, you can quite easily convince them to let you into the Complex by choosing to negotiate (picture18).

At the end of the mission, you can return to Covenant and then discuss with Jacob so that he agrees to join the ranks of the Militia.
