If you take the standard reward you’ll merely gain 1,125 Bits, while if you decline a reward you will, of course, get nothing. You can then follow up with a or dialogue check to score a reward of 2,188 Bits. Return to Hortense and tell her the truth about the Early Retirement program, which will naturally delight her. (1 of 3) Hortense will be livid if you lie to her about the luxuries being denied to her, Go through the barred door to reach the main part of the maintenance tunnels, then return to Byzantium by heading north, east up some stairs, then go north, east and north again to reach the elevator. None of the loot here counts as stealing, bit getting caught picking locks may get you in trouble - a natural Lockpick score of 80 may be necessary to avoid detection, but none of the loot here is really worth going out of your way for. That said, if you search the left (west) side of the room you can find a locked door beyond which you’ll find some loot.
You don’t need to worry about the automechanicals along the way, as they’re docile, and furthermore you’ll gain negative Reputation with the Board if you destroy them. Just go through the door to the north to reach a larger room and go through another doorway to the right (east), beyond which is a barred door that connects to the main part of the maintenance tunnels. When you’re done here, go through the hatch to find yourself in the southern end of the maintenance tunnels under Byzantium, which you should be familiar with if you completed the quest Cupid of the Laboratory… albeit not this section of the tunnels. There’s plenty of ammo to be found, but otherwise the most interesting item is a Shock Cannon Ultra near a corpse in the eastern hallway which… is useful enough against automechanicals, but by no means unique.

Should you dispatch or disable the automechanicals, feel free to loot around the area. Since their backs are to you it should be a trivial matter to interact with a terminal in the southeastern corner of the room, where you can pass a check to disable the bots, or failing that, simply pick the option to open the way out - a hatch in the southwestern corner of the room. From here, just head down a hallway to the south, then west to reach a room where some Scrap Mechanicals stand facing north. As you approach the room they’re in, they’ll start to float out to the larger, somewhat corpsier chamber, making it a trivial matter to avoid them by sliding through the doorway as they exit. From the large bay door where you entered, just sneak over to a room to the southeast, beyond which two drones lurk.
If you’re not keen on combat, stealth is a fairly easy way to bypass these bots. They’re rather numerous, come in waves, and are around level twenty, so be prepared for a fairly large battle. If you continue into the corpse-filled room to the south you’ll find out exactly how these retirees became corpses, as automechanicals - including drones, guardians and scrap mechanicals - will emerge from side chambers to the east, west and south. Turns out, the reality isn’t as pretty as the promises, as janitor automechanicals prowl about, watering corpses. Use a terminal and pick the option, pass through a door and ride the elevator down to reach the Early Retirement Center, which you’ll find through a large bay door to the south.
Read various messages on either side of the room for more flavor (read: propaganda) then continue up some stairs to the south. A life of luxury at the Board’s expense? Yeah, if our time in Halcyon has taught us anything, there’s something rotten under the veneer of generosity. When you arrive you’ll be treated to a surprising display of luxury, and will be encouraged to enjoy some corporate-approved activities by a recording over the intercom. Go up a short flight of stairs, use a terminal and pick the option to open the door to the east, then head through said door to reach the Early Retirement District. The large bay door to the left (east) just leads to the Byzantium Freight Landing Pad, so head west, then south instead to find the “Retirees” processing area. In any event, ride the elevator down and head south until you reach a fork.
