The Absolute Power Side Quest belongs to the one and only Crimson Fleet in Starfield. It’s one of the final missions in this quest line where players are put on the spot to make a small choice between two important Factions.
Unlike the previous Crimson Fleet Side Quests in Starfield, Absolute Power is not difficult or time-consuming. Players must simply go from one location to another while persuading certain characters along the way.
Absolute Power Walkthrough In Starfield
The first step in the Absolute Power Side Quest is to travel to Neon City in Starfield by heading to the Volii System. Next, follow the marker to Ebbside and enter Madame Sauvage’s Place. Head to the second floor to speak with Estelle Vincent, a Crimson Fleet acquaintance.
She's annoyed at first as players are still considered rookies, but she starts speaking normally later on. Estelle reveals that the missing piece is at Generdyne and encourages players to find out more about Ayumi Komiko, one of the company's Executives, by talking with Myka, the owner of Euphorika. In return, she asks that players download her virus into one of the computers.
Before doing that, there's an optional mission to find evidence against Ayumi.
How To Collect Evidence Against Ayumi Komiko In Starfield
Follow the Quest marker that leads to the Generdyne Industries and use the elevator to find Ji Nashida. Save the game before speaking with him as a Persuasion opportunity will arise later on in the conversation. After Persuading him successfully, Ji gives players access to Ayumi's office where a recording of her and Breyson Bayu can be found in the safe.
Now, follow the second Quest marker to Euphorika and speak with Myka. As soon as people mention Ayumi, she becomes extremely aggressive and the only way to get through is either by revealing the connections to Crimson Fleet or paying some Credits. Next, head to the Member's Lounge using the Access Key to find the one and only Ayumi Komiko.
Should You Kill Ayumi Komiko In Starfield?
Once players chat with Ayumi, there's an option to attack her, which will result in her death. However, it's best not to kill her as almost everyone will hate the players, including the UC SysDef and the Active Companion, which also ruins any chance for romance in Starfield.
A nice and simple method to extract information is through bribing or showing her the evidence. Once the conversation is done, head to the storage room of Generdyne Industries and try to use stealth to walk around as getting detected will result in some bloodshed.
Interact with the Power Core Computer and pick the Conduction Grid Plans to complete the task. Next, speak with Breyson Bayu who gives players a passkey as he is more than happy to watch his brother suffer.
Use Breyson's Computer to see the Conduction Grid Plans and download Estelle's Virus. For the final step, head to the club's VIP lounge to meet with Estelle, only to find Benjamin Bayu.
Should You Lie Or Say The Truth To Benjamin Bayu In Starfield
Upon speaking with Benjamin Bayu, players will quickly realize that he's only interested in knowing the identity of the virus owner. Here, there are three choices with consequences:
|
Choice |
Result |
|---|---|
|
Blame Yourself |
|
|
Blame Breyson Bayu |
|
|
Blame Estelle |

The final two options will allow players to make an early choice on which Faction they wish to stay in. After the choice is made, return to The Key and hand out the Conduction Grid Plans to Naeva to conclude the Absolute Power Quest.
