KOLD MIRAGE

KOLD MIRAGE is a side job in.

Walkthrough
After completing the Spellbound job for Nix, head to the municipal landfill, south of the fast travel marker for Medeski Fuel Station, and you should find Dexter DeShawn's corpse. Loot the Plan B pistol from his body to start this job.

Open the nearby freezer, which contains the corpse of Rache Bartmoss, and after a short dialogue with Johnny Silverhand, scan the freezer and pick up the cyberdeck.

Head back to the Afterlife and show the deck to Nix who will tell you that Bartmoss was likely killed by NetWatch and offers to decrypt the data on it, either now, or at a later time.

At some point after Nix starts decrypting the data, his cyberware will start to malfunction, and there are two possible ways to save him. You can either override the power panel on the wall next to the door, or complete a breach protocol on the computer next to his desk. Only the latter option will yield the three quickhack rewards for this job: Sonic Shock (epic), System Reset (epic) and Reboot Optics (rare).
