Whispers of Conspiracy

M11 - Whispers of Conspiracy is a main mission in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Meet Pritchard in my office
Pritchard explains the transmission. 1000 XP. Opens up the secondary objective.

Meet Sarif in the Penthouse
Jensen meets William Taggart and Isaias Sandoval beforehand.

If you talked to Pritchard first, the Secondary Objective's conversation will trigger.

When talking to Sarif again, he will give Jensen the corporate passport and send him to Hengsha.

Meet Malik at the Helipad
If you haven't done so, make sure to visit your office and read your e-mails before meeting Faridah Malik at the helipad.

Confront Sarif about the security leak
Jensen can talk to Athene Margoulis about the issue beforehand.

Confronting David Sarif about the installed security breach will make him defensive. The conversation path used to force David to give out more information about the breach is random as conversation options change each time you play through. Pay close attention to what he says because he will try to shift the conversation focus. (Ironically he'll tell you to stay focused on what's important). During the start of the conversation he'll blame Pritchard for being paranoid. Refocus the conversation. If he insinuates that he thought you could do the job, you can Defend yourself, but don't get too aggressive. Using the C.A.S.I.E Social Enhancement Augmentation is by far the easiest (David Sarif's personality type is Alpha). Successfully persuading Sarif to relent his reasons for having the leak will reveal that its purpose was to investigate Jensen's past and will unlock the Yes Boss achievement. He'll tell Jensen that the information (dug up by Radford) will be sent to his computer.

Head back down to read the e-mails Sarif forwarded to you.

After reading all e-mails sent by Sarif, Pritchard will initiate a short dialogue once you step out of your office.

Note that this is a separate conversation thread from the primary objective and is activated by FIRST talking to Pritchard before heading up to Sarif.

NOTE: '''Following the successful dialog (which should unlock the Yes Boss achievement), players must return to Jensen's office to READ THE E-MAILS (sent to Sarif from Brent Radford). If this is not done, the Acquaintances Forgotten second part of the quest WILL NOT TRIGGER upon the return to Detroit.'''
