Question on investigation [SPOILER QUESTION]

[Elder Drake]

Since EPIC is super great for getting answers I thought I would ask here. I hate EPIC but when someone buys you something you don't complain right?

Do not look at this question as it is absolutely a spoiler unless you want to help. The subject is even hard to put down without spoiling but let's say it has to do with making decisions regarding people with facts or lack of them as a side mission.

SPOILER
I am curious to know what people chose to do with the survivors they found at the atmospheric processor. I do not like that you are not allowed to detain the survivors and find more facts, it is kill or save. I am restarting that day and gathering every damn data pad I can find but I would love it someone who knows would share as I find this frustrating to say the least.

I only found 2 survivors, the biologist and chief engineer. I let both of them live. Biologist wanted to leave and another WY worker also planned to leave with her before the attack happened, and you can find a datapad that proves Engineer is not infected.

Thanks for the reply. There is a side container area with a soldier in it as well, he is the 3rd guy. Last name is Drake is all I remember and I shot him as I saved the previous 2 as well but this guy was the only one command seemed iffy on, then I found a PDA and I am thinking I just domed a good guy. The fact he is named Drake is a bit ironic as well.

I just found a PDA, where he may not be a "true believer" but he was helping the cultists. when the ♥♥♥♥ when down at the processor. So, he's not a "good" guy and probably safer to put him down I think.

ok so I redid the mission and found the PDA's first.

the Scientist
She DID work with Marlow on Experiments
She DID find that some plants react with the acid blood
She DID NOT like that the experiments were dangerous and wanted a transfer

The Engineer
He is a hard worker that won employee of the month
He is NOT infected

The Survivor (marine)
He DID want to steal stuff to help the cultists
He IS a member of the Darwin Era

Thanks for this, I do not think anyone had gone over this yet. I just was doing the exact same thing, so I guess shooting my namesake 'Drake' was the right gut call. Go figure, truth be told I also shot him for having my name. Funny thing is my Medic executed him which makes me not exactly wanting him giving 'First Aid' to my other marines.

I was literally doing the mission, and was taking a smoke break when I decided to check the discussions here before jumping back in and saw this lol. Talk about timing.

[Aeternum]

I saved the engineer and the marine and then evacuated. Next day Otago was sabotaged.

Where is the 2nd Drake datapad. Is it after the fight in the reactor?

All pads are before you enter the hall to the reactor so all above ground. Some are in really odd spots. I should note that I killed Drake and saved the other 2 and also got sabotaged.

So the Marine is the traitor

I can't find any of Drake's datapads and I've scoured the entire surface map. Where are they?

Thank you for this. I'm also just on this mission, and my god is this some flawed design. I mean I'm loving the game, but the whole survivor save/execute part is just *bad*. Normally I'd like to explore myself but seeing as exploring naturally you bump into them way before any datapads proving their guilt or innocence, and there is no way to quarantine them and work on the decision after the rescue, I'm just going to shamelessly abuse what I learned here from you. This is NOT the way you create missions like this, devs.

[pRaX]

Okay so now I got all 22 pads but when I talk with Drake it's still missing the 2nd information part in the window. I mean, yes, it's pretty clear from the one pad already but this is still odd.
Must be a bug.

I'd assume there is a pad missing and the location for that would be the currently pointless wall you can blow up in the container courtyard where Drake is hiding.

North building, the one that leads to the processor itself. She's behind a welded door

To get to one of them, you need to blow a weak wall northwest of the bottom-most APC location (on 1st floor). I'm still looking for 2nd one.
