One of the gigs from the Phantom of Liberty expansion in Cyberpunk 2077 is Talent Academy. The walkthrough description from our guide explains how to unlock the gig to infiltrate the sportsman's clinic, where to find Fiona Vargas' office and how to get there, as well as the main options for confronting Fiona.

• Start of the gig and meeting with Hands's contact
• Reaching the exhibition hall
• Finding Fiona's office
• Confrontation with Fiona

Start of the gig and meeting with Hands's contact

1. Look for the gig marker in the southern part of Dogtown.
2. Hands' contact commissions a task to infiltrate the sportsmen's clinic in Luxor Heights with the intention of obtaining Fiona Vargas' client data. You'll receive details of your false identity. You can start the gig right away or ask optional questions.

Reaching the exhibition hall

1. There is an elevator next to the exhibition hall and you'll be scanned. Choose the Exhibition Hall as the target floor.
2. You can optionally talk to the receptionist. You'll learn that Fiona Vargas doesn't accept anyone without an appointment.

Finding Fiona's office

1. Fiona's office is on the lower floor, in a guarded part of the building. You can get there in several different ways. One option is to start a fight - you can attack the guards, but there will be quite a large group to defeat.
2. If you have developed technical Ability (at least 13 points), you can find a door suitable for breaking in.

You may start by talking to the bartender. Sit on a chair at the bar and order any drink you want. The conversation can proceed in 2 ways:

1. Blowing V's cover - You must pose as a San Diego Shredders scout and, after Caden joins the conversation, choose the first dialogue option.
2. Refusal to give your real name will result in the intervention of a guard in order to verify your identity. Instead of attacking the guard, agree to go after him. You'll pass through the gate and enter the forbidden zone. Get rid of the guard by surprise and don't put your hand on the scanner, as this will cause cause an alarm and a fight.

1. Skillfully answer the questions - You must pose as a San Diego Shredders scout and, after Caden joins the conversation, choose the second dialogue option. You manage to dispose of Caden and an accident occurs in the exhibition hall.
2. Take advantage of the confusion to use the unattended passage, as shown in the picture. Along the way, disable the cameras (remote hacking), bypass, or quietly eliminate the guards.

1. Both of these options will allow you to access the security computer on the first floor - as shown in the picture.
2. You can disable the rest of the cameras from the computer and unlock the door to Sports Medicine.

1. Reach the next floor. You can continue to engage in open fights, or you can go stealthy - sabotage the cameras and attack enemies from behind to eliminate them quietly.
2. Ultimately, you must reach the door to the dormitory, as shown in the picture.

Confrontation with Fiona

1. You'll reach Fiona's office, where Tommie is staying. You can optionally talk to the boy.
2. Try to steal data from Fiona's terminal (as shown in the image above). This will lead to the arrival of the woman. The confrontation with Fiona has 2 main variants, which we describe below.

1. Getting along with Fiona - Choose to listen to her proposal. The proposal involves organizing the leak of a fake customer list with only selected names. You must agree to her plan (first dialogue option).

1. Fiona intimidation - You have to either refuse to listen to Fiona or reject her offer at the end of the meeting. There is no need to pick a fight with Fiona, as the woman will likely be intimidated and allow you to download the data from the computer. After receiving the data, you can leave Fiona alone or kill her (she has an access card).

In both cases, you'll find an elevator in Fiona's office to exit the clinic. If you have chosen a variant hostile to Fiona and killed her, a group of opponents may be waiting for you outside - kill them or escape. At the end of the gig, Mr. Hands will call you and you'll receive 8,000 eddies.
