How to turn off the engines?

[Lyric]

My persuasion and streetwise skills are too low to succeed the new great mother speech checks. I read somewhere that it is possible with the bridge officer upgrade for the neural uplink implant, except I ddint find how and where we are supposed to use it?

Requirements:

- Kill the original Great Mother and instate the upstart Daughter.
- Get the Bridge Officer implant upgrade for the Neural Uplink (through the Eye heist or by accessing the Lander interior in Mission Control)
- Convince the new Great Mother (helps if you didn't fully antagonise the mutants)
- Kill the two Monk Guards on the Bridge.

The hardest part is to convince the new Great Mother, since if you also killed the Fifth Daughter and Harbinger you get -6 initial disposition, and the checks are ~9.

I cant convince the new great mother, I have -5 with the covenant and am missing 1 point to succeed the skill checks... I thought there was another way... Ha well, too bad for me... Thats the only ending I am missing... I guess I will have to start another playthrough where my char has better speech skills...

Thanks for your help!

The Bridge Officer implant can be on someone in your party, if you bring them to the bridge.

So Faithe with her neural uplink can do it? That is really good to know. Thanks!

That's the ending I replayed the game twice in order to be able to get it. It's really a bit convoluted/specific/arbitrary conditions. Particularly the fact you must be a fighter to defeat the Mother and a diplomat to convince her successor when naturally, fighters won't be diplomats and diplomats will talk their way out of the mother encounter.

It's basically perfect for a Cult Leader playthrough, though you'll probably want to get the Master Trader perk and also the +1 Disposition upgrade chip from the Habitat shop to make sure you can seal the deal. I'd honestly say a solo land the ship run would be the last impressive feat in this game beyond solo psychopath versus five monks.
