What information can I give Burns?

  • 1 of 8: You may have found something interesting when you were helping out Warren.
  • 2 of 8: Something with information on Jacob McAllen.
  • 3 of 8: You can get it from the archive at the police station.
  • 4 of 8: Search for "Jacob McAllen".
  • 5 of 8: You'll see some strange signs when you perform that search.  Figure out what they mean, and you can get a datacube.

  • 7 of 8: Do you remember seeing something with an antigravity unit?
  • 8 of 8: There's one on the crashed shuttle outside the police station.
