- Follow the Navigation Diamond (if it's active in Settings > UI) to the Processing Vats at the northeast side of Ace Chemicals. You'll find the Envirotech Biologist on the ground, hiding in a corner from the enemies in the area. Interact with him to proceed.
- The Biologist will ask you to escort him to the upper levels. He will walk towards the enemies to the nearest door, located under the catwalk. You must engage the enemies and defeat them before the can knock out the Biologist. If you fail to protect him, the objective will restart. He will get inside and ask you to meet him on the second floor.
Escort Biologist to Second Sample
- Go to the door directly above the one the Biologist entered. Clean the area from enemies, then interact with the door. The Biologist will come out of it and go up the catwalk towards the main building. If you fail to protect him, the objective will restart. He will enter the next door.
Defeat Nearby Goons
- You must defeat 5 enemies to proceed. Only Ace Lieutenants, Mad Scientists, Ace Security Guards, and Ace Slashers will count. When you're done, go back to the door and interact with it.
Escort Biologist to Third Sample
- The Biologist will come out of the door, then go to the top of the catwalk, and enter the nearest door. Keep protecting him.
Protect Samples
- Go to the door on the roof above you and interact with it. The Biologist will come out and place a container on the middle of the roof, and 3 waves of goons will come out of the door to attack you. After the second wave, a stronger goon named Chuckles will arrive. Defeat all of them while still protecting the Biologist. When you're done, a black Steelworks Robot will arrive to collect the container and the Biologist will thank you and go back inside. Go back the Steelworks Communication Foreman to finish the mission.
