Requirement: Completed Main Story mission Ghost Town
Mission Info: Panam Palmer. Gotta say, I like her. Girl’s got a pair – and clearly a plan, too. Let’s see if it’s enough to grab Hellman. Honestly, V, never thought I’d ride with the nomads again. I know, she left the Aldecaldos, but you can feel it too, can’t you? Clan’s in her blood and bones. In her heart. Don’t think she’ll let us down.

- Meet Panam at midnight
- Talk to Panam
- Take the passenger seat
- Talk to Panam
- Shoot the target using the turret
- Go to the satwave power plant
- Take out the power plant security
- Get to the terminal

Starting Location: Lightning Breaks
You might already be here if you’ve just finished Ghost Town. This is a very short mission that will lead directly into the next one, Life in Wartime.
Meet Panam at midnight
Head over to the nearby gas station where Panam is working on her truck.
Talk to Panam
Strike up a conversation with her knees and wait for her to tell you her insane plan.
She knows you need Hellman alive, right?
Take the passenger seat
Get in the truck, and marvel at the insanity of Panam’s plan.
Talk to Panam
Luckily Panam has another ace up her sleeve, namely the roof turret that you can jack into and provide AA support. Things are looking up!
Shoot the target using the turret
There are three highlighted targets to take out. Simply point and shoot.
Go to the satwave power plant
Along the way you’ll stop to look at the satwave power plant and have another strategy discussion. Resolved, you’ll drive up to the gate and Panam will let you know to jack in.
Take out the power plant security
There will be two drones that you will have to shoot down with the turret while Panam circles the area.
Then she will ram straight through the door to the reactor and stop just shy of the core. This was a terrible plan.
Get to the terminal
Once out of the truck, you’ll see that there will be three terminals you’ll have to deal with.
Overheat the terminals
Run up to each one and select the Overcharge option on the menu. In hindsight this probably shouldn’t have been an available option.
Take the passenger seat
Hop back into the truck, and you’ll finish this mission and begin the next automatically.
This finishes Lightning Breaks main quest in Cyberpunk 2077 (CP77). Now the next quest Life in Wartime becomes available.
