Quest Overview

On Deaf Ears sends you across Stella Montis to gather scattered research data for Lance, the medical robot NPC. You'll visit four locations throughout the facility, interacting with computers and grabbing physical documents along the way.

Quest Giver: Lance (medical robot)

Location: Stella Montis

Objectives: Track down four pieces of research data from different areas

Pro Tip

Grab a Raider Hatch key before heading in. Your final objective drops you right next to a Raider Hatch exit, so having the key ready means you can extract immediately instead of backtracking through the facility. This quest has you running from one end of the map to the other, so that convenience is worth the prep time.

Getting Around Stella Montis

Stella Montis is confusing to navigate, and On Deaf Ears doesn't make it easy on you. You'll bounce through the Lobby, Security section, Auditorium, Medical Research, and Assembly Workshops. Expect to start in the northeast and work your way north by the time you're done.

Guest Logs from Reception

Where to Go

Head to the reception desk outside the Security room. You'll find it in the northeastern part of the Lobby on the main floor.

Finding the Computer

Look for the front desk positioned just outside Security's entrance. There's a computer setup on this desk, and you need the one on the right side.

Completing the Objective

Interact with the computer to send the guest log data straight to Lance. No item pickup here, just a quick data transfer and you're done with step one.

Lecture Notes in the Auditorium

Where to Go

Your next destination is the Auditorium, southeast of the Lobby. You're looking for a computer on the lecturer's desk inside.

Best Route from Security

Getting from Security to the Auditorium is trickier than it sounds. Here's the path that works:

From the reception computer, turn around and enter the Security building behind the desk
Find the staircase inside and climb to the fourth floor
Exit through the south door on the fourth floor
Follow the hallway to the end
Go through the restricted access door into the Business Centre
Pass through to reach the Auditorium's back entrance

Completing the Objective

Once you're in the Auditorium, head to the lecturer's desk at the front. Interact with the computer there to transmit the lecture notes to Lance.

Prototype Information in Medical Research

Where to Go

Medical Research is your next stop. You need the computer on the second floor, tucked into the northeastern corner of the main lab.

Getting There

You can reach Medical Research from the Loading Bay and Assembly areas. Entering from these zones puts you close to your target.

Spotting the Right Computer

Warning

This one's easy to miss. Unlike the standard desktop computers from the first two objectives, you're looking for a large scientific terminal. It looks more like lab equipment than an office PC, so don't skim past it while searching for a regular desk setup.

Completing the Objective

Find the big scientific computer in the northeastern corner of the second floor lab and interact with it. Prototype info sent, objective complete.

Shipping Logs in Assembly Workshops

Where to Go

Assembly Workshops is north of Medical Research. This time you're not looking for a computer. Instead, you need printed documents sitting in a cardboard box.

Your target is a second floor office on the eastern side of Assembly Workshops. This office sits right next to a Raider Hatch, which is exactly why you brought that key.

Getting to the Documents

Starting from the Raider Hatch in eastern Assembly Workshops:

Find the metal staircase nearby and head up
Walk into the office straight ahead at the top
Turn left immediately after entering
Grab the cardboard box with the shipping logs from the desk right there

Completing the Objective

Interact with the cardboard box to collect the printed shipping logs. That's your fourth and final piece of data.

Turning In the Quest

With all four data pieces collected (guest logs, lecture notes, prototype info, and shipping logs), you're ready to leave Stella Montis. Head back to Lance to turn in the quest.

Since you finished right next to a Raider Hatch, just use your key and extract. No need to navigate back through the facility.

Quick Reference

Objective	Location	Target
Guest Logs	Lobby, main floor - Reception desk outside Security (northeast)	Computer on the right side of the desk
Lecture Notes	Auditorium (southeast of Lobby) - Lecturer's desk at front	Standard computer terminal
Prototype Info	Medical Research, second floor - Northeastern corner of main lab	Large scientific terminal (not a standard computer)
Shipping Logs	Assembly Workshops, second floor office - Eastern region near Raider Hatch	Cardboard box on desk (turn left when entering)

Things to Remember

Critical Note

Bring a Raider Hatch key so you can extract quickly after finishing. You'll cover a lot of ground across Stella Montis, so expect some travel time and potential enemy encounters between objectives.

Three of your four targets are computers, but the Medical Research terminal looks different from the others. It's a large scientific machine rather than a desktop, so search the lab carefully.

When heading to the Auditorium, don't try to find your own route. Going through Security's fourth floor and the Business Centre is the smoothest path, even if it sounds roundabout.
