- Find the ransomware laptop and use its eject control to take CD-1.

- Load CD-1 into the deck beneath a television and stay for the Hijack sequence.
Recognize the correct S-50 room
The side corridor appears around S-50 where an ordinary closet opening might be. The target laptop shows an encrypted-files message and a visible eject action. CD-1 enters the inventory only after that action; simply visiting the room is not enough.
Protect the disc between floors
CD-1 is valuable because its use is far from its pickup. Current player reports say it cannot be stored in a Rift or briefcase, so preserve the Skeleton Key separately and keep one inventory position for the disc.
Do not replace CD-1 with ordinary loot after leaving The Archives. A Z-50 exit or available Emergency Exit can continue the run, but abandoning the run cannot carry the disc into a later session.
Where CD-1 is used
Inside The Stairwell, look for a television with a media deck below the screen. Equip the disc and interact with the deck. The television changes and Hijack emerges; the related REDACTED route currently ends when Hijack reaches the player.
Questions players ask
Can I get CD-1 after skipping Sector S?
No. The disc pickup is in the S-50 route, so the paid skip bypasses it.
Can CD-1 be stored in a Rift?
Current player reports say the disc refuses Rift and briefcase storage. Carry it in the active run.
Is CD-1 used at S-50?
It is collected there. Its destination is a media deck beneath a television in The Stairwell.
