Gig: Desperate Measures

Gig: Desperate Measures is a gig in. It was made available in Patch 1.6 as part of the Added Side Missions DLC.

Walkthrough
Zetatech employee Pedro Aimar plans to steal an automated transport from his company and sell the AV thruster parts it is carrying. He reveals to V that he has ALS, and only has a few months left to save himself by undergoing a full-body conversion. While Zetatech refused to pay for the operation, Pedro found a Soviet ripperdoc named Dr. Federov in Abakan, Siberia who claims he can perform the operation relatively cheaply, and the hundreds of thousands of eurodollars that Pedro raises from this heist will cover the costs and then some. Pedro says he has secretly tampered with Zetatech's delivery route algorithm and arranged for a transport to drive through the same area at the same time every day, and all he needs V to do is get inside the transport and insert a shard so he can remotely take over the onboard computer. Pick up Pedro's shard before leaving his motel room.

Travel to the Kenmore Diner and take a seat inside to wait until 5pm, when the Zetatech transport is scheduled to pass by. As he truck crosses the intersection outside the diner, Pedro brings it to a halt by activating traffic barriers. Get into the front passenger seat of the truck quickly (taking too long will cause several Zetatech guards to arrive on the scene), and insert the shard. Pedro takes control of the vehicle and begins driving it to the drop-off point, a Tirempire garage near Megabuilding H4. On the way, Zetatech security catches up with the stolen vehicle, engaging V in a shootout. Once the pursuers are eliminated, V must drive the truck the rest of the way to the destination manually. Park the truck and exit to complete the gig.

Journal Entry

 * Better get some tissues ready - this one's gonna be a real tearjerker. Pedro Aimar, a guy who thinks he's some kinds nova netrunner cuz he coded a few algorithms for Zetatech. Well, now he wants to klep their ass. It's not what you think - see, he has some kinda health problems and Zetatech doesn't wanna chip in for his operation. Crazy, right? A corp that doesn't give a shit about its employee. I'm practically speechless. Well, now look at that... tears are splashing onto my screen. This is a life and death situation, V! Pedro needs our help! He (and we) reeeaally need the eddies!
