'''Sandra Dorsett''' is a [[corporate]] [[netrunner]] and employee of [[Night Corp]].

'''Sandra Dorsett''' is a [[corporate]] [[netrunner]] and employee of [[Night Corp]]. Her storyline spans the main prologue mission ''[[The Rescue]]'' and the side job ''[[Full Disclosure]]'', with additional connections to lore-heavy [[shards]] and fan-theorized links to the [[Jefferson Peralez]] subplot.

==Biography==

~~Sometime around~~ April [[2077]], Sandra was ~~captured~~ by [[Scavengers]]~~; her~~ [[Biomonitor]] ~~muted by~~ a jammer chip forced into her neuroport, ~~leaving~~ [[Trauma Team International|Trauma Team]] ~~unaware of her condition~~. [[Jackie Welles]], [[T-Bug]], and [[V (character)|V]] infiltrate a ~~Scavenger den~~ to find ~~her floating~~ in an ice-filled ~~bath. V acts quickly to remove the chip and proceeds~~ to ~~lift Sandra from the tub, sending~~ her into cardiac arrest, and forcing the team into a frantic attempt at treatment with an airhypo. In the meantime, Trauma Team arrives to take custody of Sandra, leaving V and Jackie on the balcony of the Scavs' apartment.~~<ref name="Rescue">[[The Rescue]]</ref>~~

Around April [[2077]], Sandra was kidnapped by a group of [[Scavengers]] in Watson. Her [[Biomonitor]] was disabled via a jammer chip forced into her [[cyberware|neuroport]], preventing her [[Trauma Team International|Trauma Team]] platinum contract from activating. During the job ''[[The Rescue]]'', [[Jackie Welles]], [[T-Bug]], and [[V (character)|V]] infiltrate a Scav hideout to find Sandra submerged in an ice-filled tub to preserve her organs for harvesting.

~~Eventually Sandra makes~~ a ~~full recovery~~ and ~~returns~~ to ~~work at Night Corp, upon which it is revealed she had previously uncovered Night Corp's testing of~~ an ~~[[AI]]~~, ~~discreetly stole the information, and kept it~~ on a [[~~Operation Carpe Noctem|data shard~~]] ~~that was lost during her kidnapping.~~

V removes the chip, triggering a cardiac arrest, and is forced to use an airhypo to revive her. Trauma Team eventually arrives on scene by AV, extracting Sandra on a med-stretcher and leaving V and Jackie behind.<ref name="Rescue">[[The Rescue]]</ref>

[[Wakako Okada]] ~~reconnects~~ Sandra ~~with~~ V~~, as someone~~ with the ~~necessary skills to recover an~~ encrypted ~~data~~ shard. Sandra'~~s requirements are simple - keep~~ the ~~data on~~ the shard ~~concealed~~, and ~~ensure it is delivered~~ to her ~~promptly~~. ~~As previously noted,~~ the ~~object~~ of ~~interest has fallen into~~ the ~~Scavs possession~~, the ~~revelation~~ of which ~~causes Sandra to take pause~~, ~~still suffering the~~ trauma of ~~events she~~ is ~~unable to fully remember~~. ~~She~~ will express genuine sorrow for ~~the loss of Jackie should V confide to~~ her ~~about his fate during their brief holo call~~.~~<ref name="CP2077">{{RefCP|2077}}</ref>~~

Sandra later recovers and quietly returns to corporate life. However, her abduction coincided with her stealing highly classified Night Corp data. She had uncovered details of a secret AI program, internally called ''[[Operation Carpe Noctem]]'', and saved them to a [[data shard]]. This shard was lost during her kidnapping and ended up back in Scav hands.

==Full Disclosure==

Sometime after her recovery, [[Wakako Okada]] contacts V on Sandra’s behalf, initiating the side job ''[[Full Disclosure]]''. Sandra tasks V with retrieving the encrypted databank. Her instructions are precise: do not tamper with the shard, and deliver it promptly and safely.

===Player Choices and Outcomes===

The quest allows multiple outcomes based on the player’s actions:

* '''Unopened return''': V gives Sandra the databank without tampering. She is relieved and grateful, paying the standard fee.

* '''Decrypt + deny''': If V decrypts the databank but lies about it, Sandra grows suspicious and pays less.

* '''Decrypt + admit (neutral)''': V admits to accessing the shard but does not gloat; Sandra respects the honesty.

* '''Decrypt + praise her work''': By congratulating her netrunning ability, Sandra is visibly pleased and pays more.

* '''High Intelligence outcome''': If V has high INT (≥12), Sandra opens up fully about being hunted by Night Corp, expressing appreciation for honesty. This leads to the maximum reward of ~3800€$ and richer dialogue.

* '''Blackmail attempt''': If V threatens Sandra, she turns hostile, activating her apartment’s auto-turret system, usually resulting in combat and her death.

===Connection to Operation Carpe Noctem===

Reading the databank (or shards 36–38 found in her apartment) reveals documentation about Night Corp’s experiments with AI and cognitive manipulation. These shards suggest that Night Corp was working on advanced behavioral AI capable of rewriting human personality and memories. Many fans connect this material directly to the mysterious [[Peralez]] storyline, in which Jefferson and Elizabeth Peralez show evidence of mind-control interference traced back to Night Corp.

==Character Traits==

Sandra is described in her in-game [[database]] entry as quiet and timid on the surface, but also highly professional and talented at her job. Outside of work, she pursues unofficial netrunning as a personal outlet, a hobby which nearly cost her life during her abduction.

Despite being a minor NPC, her writing conveys trauma realism — she remains visibly shaken when reminded of the Scavs, and is still piecing together gaps in her memory. Players who mention [[Jackie Welles]]’ fate during dialogue will hear Sandra express genuine sorrow for his death, hinting at her more empathetic side.

==Community Perspectives==

Although Sandra is a minor NPC, her story left a strong impression on players:

* Reddit discussions tie Sandra’s stolen AI research to the mind-control themes of the [[Peralez]] questline, suggesting she may have uncovered the same conspiracy.

* Many recall Sandra as their “first save” in Night City, setting the tone for Cyberpunk’s moral ambiguity: saving a corpo employee with hidden secrets.

* Some report accidentally killing Sandra by triggering her apartment turret in ''Full Disclosure'', turning her into an unintentional casualty of Night City’s ruthlessness.

* Guides often emphasize that choosing honesty and high intelligence with Sandra provides the most rewarding outcome, both narratively and financially.
