Atomfallis quite something, not least because of its multiple endings and decision-led gameplay.
The thing is, doing so, like most decisions in Atomfall, has consequences.
Dr. Garrow was in this cell, until I freed her. But I’m glad I didn’t do it the first time I encountered her.
As such, here’s what I recommend doing, and why.
What happens if you just free Dr. Garrow straight away?
My first recommendation is to get friendly with the Captain.
As soon as you pull this lever, Dr. Garrow and every other prisoner will be released. That has consequences for you, potentially.
You’ll immediately be trespassing, and Protocol Soldiers will shoot on sight.
Actions, meet consequences.
As she’s still in prison, all is peachy.
Even if you don’t particularly want to work with the Captain, he’ll make it much easier to free Dr. Garrow.
What you better do is to follow his mission chain as far as being told about theInterchange and Oberon.
Getting here affords you the level of trust with the Protocol that you need.
Leaving you free to stroll back out of the prison as if nothing happened.
If you do this and get enough trust from Captain Sims, once Garrow is freed you’re off the hook, and he’ll want you to eliminate her.
But he won’t even question whether it was you that did it.
Once freed, she’ll head straight to the Interchange door near her cell.
If you haven’t, she’ll go through, and it will remain locked for you.
Whether you first talk to her outside the prison’s Interchange door or not, Dr. Garrow will head for the Central Processor.
Either way, she will eventually wind up inside the Interchange.
How you get there depends on which doors you’ve opened.
To find her again, head for the Central Processor.
Once you’re able to operate the crane controls, a storage container blocking access to the Detention Quarter.
