Unlocks In Chapter 6

This quest is immediately triggered after you get the Tissue Sample after defeating the Hunter in Chapter 5. This prompts Isaac on a quest of curiosity to figure out who is the Hunter and what made it.

How To Find The Report On The Bridge

An objective that you need to complete is to look for the report on the bridge. As this objective is vague with the terminal that you need to proceed, it may be easy to get lost and look around the large area that is the Main Atrium. The terminal that you need to interact with is the large one immediately seen once you enter the Main Atrium from the tram.
