 Talk to old man Nosek in the attic. He is somewhat deranged and no information can be extracted from him unless you know about his assistant and claim you are Al.

 Examining the Oculus database reveals Nosek was a researcher on a project that took place in [[Panacea Lab]], in Upper Underrail. Head there to get started. The lab is in northwest Upper Underrail, outside any of the colored primary metro lines. Dig through the Lab's computers for some clues on Wit Nosek. Most computers and terminals are unresponsive, but there is a functional computer at the north side of the lab. There you will find out that Biocorp's facilities in Core City may hold more information, along with some useful document codes and Nosek's alias Thallo.

-In Core City, make your way to the Coretech [[Research Facility]] that used to belong to Biocorp. If you haven't already done so, you will have to complete the main storyline up to the point where you get [[Coretech Research Facility Key Card (Core City)|Coretech Research Facility Key Card]]. On one of the research facility's computer consoles, you can learn Nosek's assistant's name using the codes you found in Panacea Lab. It will prove useful. The [[Abandoned Biocorp Facility]] in Core City holds no relevant information. You must have obtained the information from Panacea Lab before the Tchortists take the cube, because the computer is disabled afterward.

 Although both of them will give you access to first floor and Sophie could give you extra cash, characters lacking stealth may want to avoid Sophie, because she will keep her view including one ventilation shaft that can lead you to first floor armory. You can follow Maxim's invite, get the loot from armory, then sell a captured borer to Sophie.
