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

==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==
==Full Disclosure==
Sandra’s primary side job in the game is [[Full Disclosure]], where she tasks V with recovering her missing databank. Player choices strongly affect the outcome:
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.


* '''Return databank unopened''' – Sandra thanks V and pays the agreed reward.
===Player Choices and Outcomes===
* '''Decrypt databank and deny reading''' – She becomes suspicious and pays less.
The quest allows multiple outcomes based on the player’s actions:
* '''Decrypt and admit but stay neutral''' – Standard payout, Sandra appreciates honesty.
* '''Unopened return''': V gives Sandra the databank without tampering. She is relieved and grateful, paying the standard fee.
* '''Decrypt and compliment her work''' – Sandra is flattered, reward increases.
* '''Decrypt + deny''': If V decrypts the databank but lies about it, Sandra grows suspicious and pays less.
* '''High Intelligence option''' – With INT ≥ 12, V can earn Sandra’s full trust, gaining both larger eddies (≈3800€$) and extra dialogue about being hunted by Night Corp.
* '''Decrypt + admit (neutral)''': V admits to accessing the shard but does not gloat; Sandra respects the honesty.
* '''Attempt to blackmail''' – Sandra activates turrets in her apartment, turning hostile; usually fatal for V.
* '''Decrypt + praise her work''': By congratulating her netrunning ability, Sandra is visibly pleased and pays more.
* '''High Intelligence outcome''': If V has high INT (≥12), Sandra opens up fully about being hunted by Night Corp, expressing appreciation for honesty. This leads to the maximum reward of ~3800€$ 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.


The databank content connects to Night Corp’s secret project “Operation Carpe Noctem”, which involved AI experiments on human cognition. This has been tied by fans to the [[Jefferson Peralez]] subplot and broader conspiracies of corporate mind-control.

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.

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

Around April 2077, Sandra was kidnapped by a group of Scavengers in Watson. Her Biomonitor was disabled via a jammer chip forced into her neuroport, preventing her Trauma Team platinum contract from activating. During the job The Rescue, Jackie Welles, T-Bug, and V infiltrate a Scav hideout to find Sandra submerged in an ice-filled tub to preserve her organs for harvesting.

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.[1]

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.

HUMANS OF NIGHT CITY — SANDRA DORSETT

Never considered myself the lucky few. Studied hard when I was a kid. Been workin' hard since I joined the corpo. Guess I'm the kind of person who radiates peer pressure. Not gonna apologize for that, sorry. I even got my supervisor super competitive. He used to be choombae and all, faking up a big nice boss face, until he learned about my project. 'Cause it was a good project, 'cause we were making good progress. Local nursing homes need our AI to keep runnin', and the team was assigned to improve AI behavior to, and I'm quoting our PR here, "better support the elder citizen's mental well-being." He was tellin' me I "moved too fast", or I'd "overstepped". Pretty sure I hadn't, 'cause I freakin' love readin' NDAs — and dancin' around 'em. Note from Ziggy: Ditch this. Girl was kidnapped by the Scavs. Spiced up the content, but bossman killed it.[2]
