Quest stages of Mayor for a Day

1. Reach the Mayor's Office

There's some kind of emergency in Watoga. I can learn more if I can reach the Mayor's office.

Go to Watoga Municipal Center building and use the elevator.

Find the Mayor's Office at the top floor.

2. Listen to MAIA

Apparently I'm mayor of Watoga now? I should listen to this computer to learn more about what's going on.

3. Learn more about the Saboteur

I should read through entries on the Mayor's computer to learn more about this saboteur.

Use the nearby Terminal > Read this! [HIGH PRIORITY] > Mayor for a Day.

4. Find the Saboteur's Hideout

The saboteur's hideout might be in Bog Town. I should try to find it.

5. Search hideout for clues (x/5)

I've found what must be the saboteur's hideout. I'll see if I can piece together enough clues to figure out my next move.

Pick up and play the two holotapes: Operation Free Watoga Log 322 and Last Words.

In the corpse of Scott Turner find the RobCo Research Facility Keycard. (in my case there were many cards in the corpse (bug?) but only one marked as a quest item).

Unlock the Terminal > Encrypted Message 4.24.77.

The last clue, Saboteur's Work Password, can be found in the Safe (in my case there were many passwords inside (bug?) but only one marked as a quest item). If the safe is locked, use the terminal to unlock it.

6. Investigate Saboteur's Work Terminal

I can upload my likeness into a virus software update in the saboteur's office at RobCo Research Facility. I have a keycard that should get me into his office, and the password to his computer.

Go to RobCo Research Center, use the ID Card Reader to open the door to the locked room and activate the Terminal > Scan likeness. You will receive Robot Virus.

7. Take Virus Holotape to MAIA

I'm not exactly sure what to do with this virus holotape. I bet MAIA will have some idea. I should take it back to her and see what she thinks.

Return to Watoga Municipal Center and activate the MAIA.

8. Start upload process

I need to take the virus holotape to a terminal on the roof so its software update can be broadcast to the city robots.

Use a nearby elevator to get to the roof and activate the Terminal > Upload update software.

9. Prevent security from stopping the upload

I need to fend off security robots while the upload finishes, and I'll need to start again if they interrupt it.

For five minutes you must defend yourself against the robots attacking you.

10. (Quest completed)

I successfully updated the Watoga municipal robot's programming. That should make them more friendly, to me at least. Also, MAIA gave me the code to the mayor's safe, which should contain something useful.

As a reward, you'll get the Watoga Mayor Safe Combination, Mayor's clothes (Crumpled Fedora, Patched Suit), and All Rise, a Super Sledge. Completing this quest will cause all robots in Watoga to stop attacking you.
