Farrow Facility
Summary
A facility on the Sunward side of the planet, the heat is so intense Steele will lose Energy while outdoors in most spaces. It is currently shut down, as the workers are currently protesting their poor working conditions, and Security isn't allowing anyone inside. The owner depends on which CEO Steele met at the Zaibatsu Party.
- If Steele met with Bright Water, it's owned by Paragon.
- If Steele met with Paragon, it's owned by Utopian Skies.
- If Steele met with Utopian Skies, it's owned by Bright Water.

Outside
Upon arriving, Steele must choose to side with either the Crowd or Guards. Siding with the Guards allows Steele to go in the front door and avoid combat with the Peers. Siding with the Crowd means Steele must go around the back.
Factory Floor
There are no encounters until and unless the first Hazard Trooper is defeated. Combat can be avoided entirely by Examining the broken machine, then going north and looting the Plasma Coil. Use it to Repair the crane, then Board it to go to Research and Development. Otherwise, go south through the Hazard Trooper. Mhorgenn' at the Airlock can be fought or bribed. Air Strike will cause Mhorgen and her Loaderbot 9000 to start the combat Stunned.
Compound Interior
This floor is inhabited exclusively by Peers and their Dolls. Upon initial encounter, Steele can Ambush to initiate combat or Sneak for a chance to avoid. Talk Past always works if Steele sided with the Guards, otherwise it always fails. Defeating a Doll also defeats the corresponding Peer.
The Executive Lobby to the West has a Safe with 100 thousand Credits and 2x Savicite. It can be cracked by solving a Lights Out puzzle. The initial configuration depends on which Zaibatsu owns the facility. It can be brute forced with a Plasma Torch from the first Hazard Trooper, but it halves the Credits. If you fail, you'll be attacked by an Enhanced XO. The Break Room to the East has a Vending machine with Power Potions and can sleep.

Research And Development
The Break Room to the South offers an opportunity to buy Power Potions and sleep. Otherwise, continue East, then North along the corridor, where you will find the CEO and Probe.
Resolution
Bright Water and Utopian Skies can avoid all combat simply by saying Steele is here for the Probe. Paragon always involves at least one fight at the end. Be sure to Take Equipment before leaving. You can't come back.
