  • From when you first find the Poolside Bio Container, you will need to keep progressing through the main story until you reach the Ocean Avenue region
  • In the safehouse at Ocean Avenue, you will unlock the Missing Persons Reports where you can start the Missing: Jamal quest. You may need to make this your active quest for the next steps.  
  • Fast travel back to Halperin Hotel, and head to the huge ditch in the main road away from the hotel (marked on the map above).
