Main Objective: Rescue Eight.
AREA 02 - Eco Modeling Lab
At the entrance of the Eco Modeling Lab, Hugh and Diana observe some butterflies.
Explore further and take care of the enemies before heading up the stairs.
Up the stairs is a terminal but it can't be used yet.
For now, jump over to the other platform and head down the stairs.
Loot the area and head for the tree but be ready for the Impeder guarding it.
Take care of the enemy and grab the Gen Chip from the tree.
Head back to the platform and use the Gen Chip on the terminal. This progresses the tree's growth, giving Hugh something to step on.
Jump on it and cross over to the broken stairs. Just be ready for the enemy waiting for Hugh.
At the end of the path on the right side is a Holo-Wall. Inspect it to pass through.

Dropping down from here brings Hugh back to the previous path (lower ground). Explore the same way but head to the other half of the area.
Beat the Walker hiding on the left then head up the stairs. When the path splits, loot left then head right.
There's a pesky bot on the right path so be ready.
NOTE: Watch out for its lunge attack, it bends its knees when it's about to do it.
When it's dead (it takes a while, we know), head for the tree and grab the second Gen Chip.
Head up the stairs behind the tree and explore the area.
