“Investigate the lead at the Puerto Del Sol Marina.”

— Mission description.

Investigation: The Marina is a Data Leak investigation mission featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of The Contract update.

Description

Franklin: "Imani, you there?"

Imani: "Yep, s'up?"

Franklin: "'Ey, look, tell my partner what you was telling me just now."

Imani: "'Kay. The marina's CCTV feed shows the promoter guy has a green Toro speedboat. If you can find it, the GPS system should tell us where it's been."

Franklin: "And look, if the phone ain't there, you can bet there's gonna be something to lead us to the party where he's gonna do the leak at."

—Briefing.

The player is called by Franklin, who starts a conference with Imani to brief the mission. Imani informs that the Club Promoter has a green Lampadati Toro speedboat at the Puerto Del Sol Marina, which can be used to check the GPS system and find the coordinates of his location.

Search the Puerta del Sol Marina for the promoter's speedboat: a green Lampadati Toro.

The player is then instructed to go to the marina, where they are instructed to find the green Toro among the docked boats, in three possible locations within the site. There will be two Security Guards patrolling the docks, which will open fire if the player steals the boat or if they are threatened with a firearm.

You located the promoter's Lampadati Toro.

After finding the boat, it will be marked on the map and must be stolen.

Search for a Galaxy Super Yatch at the last known GPS coordinates.

Once acquired, they drive the boat to a search area marked on the map , where they find the promoter's superyacht, the S.S. Daddy's Boy, located in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Los Santos. On approach, the ship's Swift Deluxe helicopter with a senior Triad member on board will take off from the foredeck helipad and then Brendan Darcy will announce the yacht's air defenses have been activated. Once aboard, they have to fight against the security team and enter the main cabin.

The door is locked. Go to the bridge to unlock the main cabin door.

The access doors are locked, so they must go to the bridge, deal with the single enemy inside and find the controls to unlock the doors. Although not prompted to do so, one can also disable the air defenses at this point with the controls on the other end of the bridge console. Brendan Darcy will be non-threatening but can be attacked while the player is on the bridge.

Search the interior of the yacht for evidence that will lead to the promoter's party venue.

The player then enters the main cabin, fights off more Triads and searches for evidence of the promoter's party venue, which will be in four different locations (northern guest room, southern guest room, small desk with a computer and small table on the bar area).

Use the Snapmatic app on your phone to take a photograph of the evidence showing the party venue and send it to Imani.

Eventually, the player finds brochures of The Diamond Casino & Resort and a photo of Dr. Dre, and is instructed to take a photo and send it to Imani. Later, they are instructed to leave the main cabin and abandon the yacht. Pairs of Buzzard Attack Choppers will arrive to attack the player with the machine guns (up to three waves). The player can use one of the transportation vehicles of the yacht to return to the mainland, with Imani messaging them that they should not worry about the promoter being an important person, as the yacht actually belongs to his father and remarking what a fake he is. After leaving the area, the mission is complete.

Transcript

Pre-Mission Phone Call
After the investigation at the nightclub, the Protagonist gets a call from Imani and Franklin. Imani: Hey, bosses. Got the guy with the copy of Dre's phone. Franklin: Head back to the office when you ready, partner.

First Time Dialogue

Franklin: 'Ey, what's up, Imani? Shit, what we got? Imani: Young dude, snappy dresser. Took me like two seconds to find his Lifeinvader profile... he's a club promoter. Franklin: Now you sure he's the one with Dre's phone? Imani: Well, his status is: "1000 likes and this God is leaking the most exclusive tracks you've ever heard to 100 exclusive ticket holders," so... Franklin: Damn... So where do we find him? Imani: According to the ride app, he went from the club to the marina. Franklin: Shit, I guess we start there.

Mission Transcript

The Protagonist leaves the Agency. When replaying this setup, the dialogue starts from here. The Protagonist gets a phone call from Franklin and Imani. (Dialogue 1) (Dialogue 2) Franklin: Hey, Imani, you there? Imani: Yep, s'up? Franklin: 'Ey, look, tell my partner what you was telling me just now. Imani: 'Kay. The Marina's CCTV feed shows the promoter guy has a green Toro speedboat. If you can find it, the GPS system should tell us where it's been. Franklin: And look, if the phone ain't there, you can bet there's gonna be something to lead us to the party where he's gonna do the leak at. The Protagonist goes to the Puerto Del Sol Marina. Imani: When you get there, find to Toro and fire it up. If we're lucky, the GPS will have a waypoint or a tracker on where he's been going. The Protagonist finds the boat and starts it up. An area offshore is added to the GPS. Imani: Let me guess, superyacht offshore? I don't know how these promoters make so much cheese. Franklin: Yeah, but don't worry about that. Look, get on board, snoop around. But don't snoop your ass into a bullet, a'ight? These yachts is crawling with fuckin' security. Franklin: Hey, what's up, y'all. Imani: Hey. So here's the deal. The promoter leaves the club, gets a car to the marina. Then the marina's CCTV shows him getting onto a green Toro speedboat. Franklin: Oh, okay... so we start with the boat, right? Imani: Right. The GPS system on board will have a record of what he's been using it for. Franklin: Okay, so it's gotta be something there to lead us to the party where he's gon' play that music at. The Protagonist goes to the Puerto Del Sol Marina. Imani: Okay, when you find the Toro, start it up. Get the onboard GPS working, and if we're lucky, it'll have a recent destination or waypoint or something. The Protagonist finds the boat and starts it up. An area offshore is added to the GPS. Franklin: A'ight, look, don't tell me... he got a fuckin' superyacht offshore, right? You see them dudes comin' in on Toros all the fuckin' time. Imani: Get out there and take a look around it. Maybe we'll find a clue. Franklin: And look, watch out for security, a'ight? There's always security. The Protagonist goes over to and boards the yacht, the S.S. Daddy's Boy. (Arrived in an air vehicle) An announcement about the active anti-aircraft system is heard. Franklin: 'Ey, you hear that? Man, get the fuck out of there, the yacht's got air defense! (Host owns a yacht) Imani: So, boss, don't you own one of these yachts, too? Not that I'm looking through your personal data or anything. Franklin: 'Ey, good luck with that. I mean, they're nice an all, but... from what I've seen, shit, yachts bring their own kinda fuckin' trouble. The Protagonist attempts to enter the main cabin, but finds the door locked. They go to the bridge to unlock it, and optionally, disable the yacht's anti-aircraft system. (Dialogue 1) (Dialogue 2) Imani: If you find anything on there that might help us send me a pic. Maybe something that'll tell us where he's planning to throw this thing? Imani: Okay, we're looking for anything that'll help us work out where he's holding the party. If you see anything just snap a pic and send it to me. The Protagonist finds the evidence (consisting of a poster for the Diamond Casino and a photo of Dr. Dre) in one of the cabins, takes a picture of it, and sends it to Imani. (Host doesn't own a Penthouse or a Yacht) (Host owns a Penthouse, but doesn't own a Yacht) (Host owns both) (Dialogue 1) (Dialogue 2) Imani: Bingo. That's Dre, and that's the Diamond Casino. Franklin: So that's where he gonna leak Dre's tracks, huh? Imani: Yeah, bet. I'll check it out. Franklin: A'ight, shit, job done. Hey, partner... get off the boat. Imani: Okay, that's Dre, and that looks like the Diamond Casino. Franklin: So that's the next party venue, right? Imani: I'll look into it. But yeah, looks like he's planning on leaking Dre's unreleased tracks. Franklin: A'ight, look. In the meantime, man, get yo' ass up outta there. Imani: Okay, that's Dre, and that looks like the Diamond Casino. Franklin: So that's the venue for his leak party, huh? Imani: I'll look into it. Hey, don't you have a penthouse there? Franklin: Me? Hell nah. Imani: No, I mean the other boss. Franklin: Hey, Imani this snoopin' through our shit has got to... wait a minute, you got a penthouse at the Diamond? Hell nah... Imani: Yeah... how about we compare notes later, and focus on getting off the yacht crawling with armed guards... Franklin: Yeah. A'ight. Imani: Okay, we got Dre here, and we got the Diamond Casino. Franklin: Oh, so that's where he's gonna do the big reveal, then, huh? Imani: Yeah, most likely. I'll have a look. Hey, don't you have a penthouse there? Franklin: Wait... man, you got a penthouse and a superyacht? Man, who the fuck did you rob? Imani: According to my research... everybody. Franklin: Haha! Now that's why you my motherfuckin' partner. Okay, but look, get yo' ass up outta here. 'Cause we got more motherfuckers to rob real soon. The Protagonist exits the cabin and leaves the area by any means necessary. As they do so, they get a text from Imani. Imani: (text) Hey boss. Nice work on the intel. But I don't want you thinking this guy's some LS big shot. Did some digging. That yacht? It's his daddy's. Such a poser... After the Protagonist leaves the area, SETUP COMPLETE.

Trivia

• During the raid on the yacht, the player will hear unique dialogue from Franklin and Imani if they own their own yacht, the Casino penthouse, or both properties.
• It is not necessary to use the Toro to reach the yacht but only to reveal its location. Once the "Search the coordinates for the yacht" objective appears, players can use any of their own vehicles. However, the yacht is equipped with an anti-aircraft system; mission participants approaching it with anything other than a sea vehicle will immediately alert the guards and result in the player getting shot down if they do not leave the area immediately. Other non-participant players may freely approach the yacht by air prior to the player approaching without activating the air defenses.
  • However, if the player dies near the yacht, they will respawn nearby on a Seashark. This means players can use an aircraft or flight-worthy vehicle to reach the yacht in a timely manner, let themselves get shot down, then use the Seashark to board the yacht.
  • The player can actually ignore the Marina and the Toro and go directly to the Yacht's known locations.
• The radar will not be correctly aligned with the player's current location, thus showing like they are going through walls, especially on areas such as the northern guest room.
