Reach Order camp

Head north to the Exclave Repository.

Kill Order guards/Search for experiment evidence (Optional)

For the optional quest head to the Southeastern area and you will see a convoy vehicle. Out of the back is a body hanging out with a quest item on the floor. Collect this before defeating the Order.

Once collected defeat the Order.

Search for survivors

Follow the marker to a building with a yellow barrier. Approach the barrier and speak through it to the prisoner. When you get really close to the yellow barrier there will be a “Talk” prompt while looking at the survivor.

Hack console

Head to the console in front of the yellow barrier and interact with it.
