Long Distance

is a main quest in the Outer Worlds.
==Synopsis==
Adjutant Sophia Akande has asked you to help her track down Phineas Welles. Head to Welles's lab and send the Board a tracking signal from his terminal.
==Walkthrough==
If the player is following Phineas' questline, after collecting the dimethyl sulfoxide for the quest The City and the Stars, the player will be contacted by Sophia Akande upon returning to the Unreliable. If the player is following the Board questline, this quest will be given while speaking to Akande after completion of The Demolished Woman.
If the player agrees to help her track Phineas Welles, she will send her access code and ask you to send a tracking signal through Phineas' terminal. Once you have arrived at Phineas' Lab, you can inform Phineas of Akande's request. Phineas tells you that you should do it to avoid suspicion from Akande. Phineas suggests sending a corrupted tracking signal to buy him some time to prepare his defenses. The choice has no effect aside from the dialogue by Akande upon returning to the Unreliable, however she will not suspect you. Whichever option you choose, the terminal needed to send the signal is located in the corner of the external part of Phineas' Lab, on the western side. 
Once the tracking signal has been sent, return to the Unreliable and Akande will contact again. If the tracking signal was not corrupted, she will say that they have managed to pinpoint Phineas' location. If it was corrupted, his location has not been pinpointed yet and Akande will assume that Phineas managed to corrupt the signal. Regardless, she will then ask the player to visit her in her office in Byzantium to talk about the future of the colony. Travel to Adjutant Akande's Landing Pad on Terra 2 and enter the building. Guard Esparza will let you through, saying that the Adjutant is expecting you. The office can also be accessed by traveling to the Byzantium Freight Port Landing Pad and entering the HHC Building, as the office is located beside Chairman Rockwell's. Take the elevator upstairs and speak with Akande. 
Akande will let you know that you are entitled to collect a reward from Percival Platt. She will say that Phineas will be monitored until the Board is ready to make a move. At this point, if Adelaide McDevitt was put in charge of Edgewater, Akande will give you the quest Foundation. Declining and telling her to go to hell will turn her hostile and botch the quest. If Reed Tobson is still in charge, the quest Signal Point in Space will start instead.
Speaking to Percival will end the quest and award the player with XP, 2,000 bits and positive Board reputation.
==Quest Stages==
== Notes ==
* This quest will trigger after either The Demolished Woman or The City and the Stars has been completed.
* This quest will lead to the quest Foundation if the player chose to remove Reed Tobson from Edgewater during the quest Comes Now the Power. If Reed is still in power, the quest does not start and the next quest will be Signal Point in Space.
*If Felix is in the party, he will want to speak with the player after accepting the quest. He questions whether Akande can be trusted and asks the player to stay vigilant.
