Control Resonant Panopticon Service Request Walkthrough

How to start the side story, repair the containment terminal, work out the real cell ID from the mislabelled plates, catch the right radio broadcast and claim both rewards.

Short answer

Repair the terminal with two power modules and a satellite dish, then answer D-04 for the radio’s cell. The plates are mislabelled in reverse. Pick up and drop the Altered Radio until it plays the New York World’s Fair broadcast, then place it in cell E-05. Rewards: the Untapped Feeding Bottle Artifact and Aramid Work Clothes.

Step 1: repair the containment terminal

Inside the containment chamber, the terminal in the small room on the left will not boot. It is missing three parts (AllThings.How):

  • Power module 1: close to the terminal. Slot it into the server rack beside the console.
  • Power module 2: near cell A-01. Put it in the remaining rack slot.
  • Satellite dish: near cell C-03. Climb onto a containment cell and mount it on the antenna tower until the light turns green.
  • Select START SYSTEM on the console. Langston then asks you to check cell B-02.

Step 2: the real cell ID

B-02 will not open remotely. The “Note for Langston” on the crate by A-01 says the cells were reprogrammed clockwise to FBC standard but the plates were left as they were, so the labels read in reverse.

That makes the radio’s cell D-04. Say “D”, then “04” on the intercom.

Update 1.4.0 fixed a bug where this cell door opened too early. If yours did, update and reload — see the patch notes.

Step 3: the radio broadcast

  • 1. Pick up the Altered Radio and drop it, moving a few steps between drops. Each drop changes the broadcast.
  • 2. Stop on the New York World’s Fair show where the announcer says Sunday, October 17th and that the fair ends that night.
  • 3. While that segment plays, carry the radio to cell E-05 and place it on the pedestal.

Rewards

  • Untapped Feeding Bottle: Artifact recipe, +30% Power recovery while Infected or Burn affects Dylan. Craft it in the Gap — see best artifacts.
  • Aramid Work Clothes: Top Layer cosmetic, equipped at an FBC wardrobe locker. Every other outfit is in our outfits guide.
