[Reason: Should be written from V's perspective. See our Quest Guidelines]

After meeting with Takemura, you decide to track down Evelyn Parker to find out if she knows anything about the Relic. After optionally calling Judy, head to Lizzie's Bar, and enter her workshop. After a brief conversation with Judy, you discover that she doesn't know where Evelyn is, but she points you in the direction of a dollhouse called Clouds on the 12th floor of Megabuilding H8, where Evelyn used to work. Clouds opens at 5pm, if you came earlier then V will have the option to sit on a nearby bench and wait.

After arriving, you make an appointment to see a doll there, either Angel or Skye, as well as temporarily giving up your weapons while in the facility. Your appointment with Angel or Skye can be cut short by using your safeword, or followed through on an strange soul-search by the doll. Once you use your safeword, you question them for information about Evelyn's location, and they suggest you speak to another doll named Tom in the VIP area. At this point, you have the option to examine booth 11, where the incident that resulted in Evelyn's absence occurred. You can examine a missing port on the wall next to the bed and blood on the wall opposite it. Finally, you can play a recording which shows that the customer did not harm Evelyn, instead, she bugged out in what looks like a remote hack by a netrunner. Some dialogue lines with Johnny are available here.

Entering the VIP area without an access card will cause the Tyger Claws to become hostile towards you, but if you wait outside for a while, a gang member will enter the nearby bathroom where you can stealthily take him out and steal his access card. Alternatively, a shutter in the hallway leading between the main ring of booths and the VIP door leads to an exterior walkway, which can be followed around to a backroom. This same backroom can also be accessed from the bathroom area via a door with a Body 9 requirement to force open. Inside this backroom is a single Tyger Claw, who can be knocked out for an access card, along with an elevator to a backroom in the VIP area, permitting access even without an access card. Guards in the main room will spot you if you linger in front of the glass window too long, but will not comment or stop you if you walk out of the backroom into the VIP lounge.

Once in the VIP area, enter Tom's booth, and he will reveal that Evelyn had an accident there and ended up in a special clinic in Oslo. He suggests speaking to the dolls' caretaker, Woodman, whose office is in a restricted part of the building, so you'll have to disable at least the security camera by the door, and enter when the guards are not watching if you wish to avoid combat. Several side-rooms off the path to Woodman can be explored, including a dressing/prep room for the dolls. On the counter in the first cubby by the door is the iconic katana Cocktail Stick, as well as Evelyn's jacket, which is only a scanable prop that will evoke a comment from Johnny. More information about the accident can be found on the computer in the server room near Woodman's office and on a shard there. You can also find Evelyn's Schedule shard and Evelyn's Handbag in the locker room nearby.

Woodman will not immediately be hostile when you enter his office, but the dialogue you choose during the interrogation can cause him to become so. If you have enough Intelligence, you can offer information on how to better secure their system, or, if you chose the Corpo lifepath, on the real bosses of the Tyger Claws, in exchange for information about what happened to Evelyn. Alternatively, if Gig: Monster Hunt has been completed, Jotaro Shobo's fate can be mentioned and used to intimidate Woodman into giving information. Otherwise, to maintain a peaceful conclusion, you'll need to choose the following:

• You don't understand what's at stake.
• Let's not make this harder than it has to be.
• One way or another, I'll find out...

If Woodman does become hostile, you will instead have to defeat him and learn the information he would've told you by reading a message on his computer. Either way, you will be directed to see a ripperdoc called Fingers on Jig-Jig Street.

Journal Entry

So you've decided to find the chick who put on this first-class shitshow. She had a job and you took it 'cause there was no one else to knock some sense into your gonk head. I'm here now, but so what? This search and rescue bullshit's a dead end, but that's not about to stop you. Maybe Evelyn will, who knows? Sure seems like she doesn't wanna be found.

Notes

• During this job, you can find an iconic pistol, Lizzie, in an adjacent room to Judy's workshop.
• During this job, you can find an iconic katana, Cocktail Stick, on a table near Evelyn's jacket in a hostile area in the Clouds Vip Zone.
• You will have to deposit your weapons after entering Clouds, but there is a Liberty pistol behind the bar in the VIP area you can take.
• During this job, you can enter Evelyn's booth, booth 11. You can either convince the doll to open it, or have a technical ability of at least 5 to unlock it. Inside you can examine what happened to Evelyn during one of her sessions. There is blood, a hidden camera, a port frame and a holoview that you can activate.
• If Gig: Monster Hunt was completed before this quest you can say to Woodman that it was you who sealed Jotaro's fate, and if he doesn't cooperate the same will happen to him, thus ending the peaceful dialogue options.
• No matter if you injured him or killed him, Johnny will still say that you stuffed up. However: You can still use it as leverage to intimidate Fingers when you meet him later. Maiko also won't be happy that you killed Woodman, but Judy would appreciate the gesture, after Evelyn dies. Mailko would also bring that fact up in Pisces. If you spared him, you (or Judy, if you let her be the executioner instead) get a chance to flatline him again in EX-Factor

Bugs

• The side job, Machine Gun, can fail here when you put your weapons (including Skippy) in the locker.^{[verification needed]}

Trivia

• The title of the job comes from the Die Form song "Automatic Love", released in 1998.
