Brent Radford's computer

 is a computer that appears in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. It belongs to Brent Radford, a private investigator hired by David Sarif to run a background check on Adam Jensen.

The computer is in Radford's storage unit in the alley near Detroit Police Station, and can be accessed during part 2 of the Acquaintances Forgotten side-quest. It has security rating 3; the login is bradford.

This is good work, Brent. Keep it up.

Radford,

Here's a little nugget I gleamed off the PC of your man's beau, or ex-beau? I was hoping to get more, but some "nucl3arsnake" was hounding my trace and I had to jump networks. When I tried to reconnect, my tunnel was caved. Whoever that was, they're good. I'm not gonna risk going back in anytime soon.

PS consider my debt paid. This is the last time I do a job without the money upfront.

-- TO: mreed@SI.corp.det FROM: rebecca_downey@ketherian_labs.mti.can re: Paternity Test Hey Megan, I know you had some questions about the files I sent. Sorry about all the graphs earlier, but that sample was nothing short of groundbreaking and I got excited. I don't suppose you could tell me where you got it? The short answer to the original breakdown I sent is this... yes, the DNA samples are remarkable and we were unbelievably lucky to catch the reason why. We've been working with VersaLife's new Chaos Model Genomatrix, which is trying to apply fractal mathematics to the study of genetic mutation. In essence, we've been trying to predict the future of human evolution using past mutations stored in the database of our mitochondria (which is passed uninterrupted from ancestral Eve through our mothers; it gives us an accurate and universal roadmap for our common past). The thing is, the sample you sent fits one of our evolutionary models of the future. We're talking about someone who is ahead of the genetic curve by one step, maybe two. Do you know what this could mean for medicine alone? You have a living, breathing Nobel Prize on your hands! The thing is... I can’t tell you if this is a natural leap in evolution, or something done to the mother while the baby was in vitro. But I do know that this person’s mother had no-such mutations... the mitochondria don't lie. Rebecca

Radford, I strongly advise you not to. I've heard enough and I'll have nothing to do with White Helix. The less I know, the better, and I would advise you to follow suit. In fact, consider your contractual obligations fulfilled, this investigation is over.

I'll get in touch to organize the rendering and payment of bills for your service.

RE: New Lead: Michelle Walthers

Hey B,

Got a tip for ya on that case you're working. There's a woman named Michelle Walthers... she worked at that lab you mentioned, White Helix? She was a nurse and good friends with the Jensens, particularly Arthur. She's living in Detroit now, on Brooklyn Court.

There's just one problem. According to my initial probes... she's senile. But you've always had a way with the ladies; maybe you could coax some information from her ;) V
