Strength in Numbers Quest - How do I enter the pristine assaultron showroom?

[Outlier]

I'm at the Strength in Numbers quest where I'm supposed to attach Sol's transmitter to a pristine assaultron body. I've entered Duncan & Duncan, spoke with the robot Skinner, climbed the stairs behind him but the door is locked. It says I need the Mr Handy Showroom Card Reader to open it. When I try to activate that, it then says "please purchase Duncan and Duncan: 1 Mr Handy Body or Duncan and Duncan: 1 Assaultron body to unlock access. Where do I get that?

I'm talking about before that, I can't even open the door to get to the keypad. It's the door behind the Skinner robot after climbing the stairs. I actually just got the picklock perk and picked the lock instead but for people without that perk, they might still be wondering how to open that door.

did you go to the attic?

I think you had to pass this door in order to get to the attic. Again, it's the door at the top of the stairs behind the robot Skinner.

I got the assaultron body without picking any locks, as one of the rooms has a hole in a wall that takes you to the attic. Though by that time I had already destroyed every laser and turret in the building.

I just walked up to the Mr. Handy clerk, Claimed I was a scary ghost, In fact the ghost of Mr. Duncan(s) himselves and got access to the bot for free with speech checks.

And my Grammar concerning Mr. Duncan(s) is accurate if you look around for logs.

I never actually tried saying I was a ghost, maybe that was the way to do it. Did you do it through regular speech or did you do it through enhanced speech (ie/ the speech only available with enough of a certain skill)?

I don't recall if it was an actual check or not but if it was it wasn't too high at the time maybe 4 points.

If I recall, you simply just state you're a ghost. The text is in all caps. I switched between just the honest responses and the ghost one. I even went through the dialogue using the main (first) dialogue. Then I went back and initiated another speech with him and did the ghost dialogue and it unlocked the keys for me. So I got two successful dialogue quests (if that makes sense)

I never even used the 88888 anywhere. I think it allows you to skip all of that

Yeah just tell him youre a ghost, i dont remember the specifics, but just stick with your claim and you should be able to get the keycard.

Hey. I know this is an old post and this is rather vague but I have no clue what to do. I'm in this mission and I can't even get into D&D Robotics. The first door says innaccesible and I don't have the keycard that is needs. Did I lose it at some point?
