You can eavesdrop on Aymeric and Aurore in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty, but doing so requires you to delay hacking their car, so should you do it? During the Phantom Liberty mission "I've Seen That Face Before", you've got to take control of the twins' car from the trunk and take them to Reed before they can meet Kurt Hansen. However, the enticing Cyberpunk 2077 option to tell Reed to hold on gives you the opportunity to learn more from the twins at the cost of a longer drive back to Reed. Should you go against what Idris Elba, of all people, is asking you to do? Here's what you need to know about eavesdropping on Aurore and Aymeric in Phantom Liberty.

This mission comes over halfway through Phantom Liberty so be aware of story spoilers below.

When Aurore and Aymeric start driving over to Hansen's stadium base, Reed will tell you to take control, but you also have the option to say "Hold on, wanna eavesdrop…".

Eavesdropping once on Aymeric and Aurore's conversation doesn't give you much intel, as they're just chatting generally about Kurt Hansen shooting down President Myers' plane. Reed will get increasingly frustrated with V the longer you eavesdrop, but it's worth it. Every time you have the option to continue eavesdropping, make sure you select it:

  1. "Hold on, wanna eavesdrop…"
  2. "Chill. Just wait."
  3. "Gimme a sec!"

After you tell Reed to give you a second, Aurore will tell Aymeric about a file she has called "Blind_n_Dead" which you'll be able to learn more about shortly. From this point onwards, the twins will stop talking and you can override the car controls like normal.

Drive the car to where Reed and Alex are waiting, fighting back when you lose control of the car briefly. When you get there, Reed and Alex will kill the twins, allowing you to connect to Aurore to copy her identity. You can also search for the aforementioned Blind_n_Dead file when you jack in, which rewards you with a quest called Voodoo Treasure. This leads you to Slider's stash in Cyberpunk 2077.

From here, the twins will obviously be dead, but you can now assume their identity and meet with Kurt Hansen to try and rescue Songbird. This is where one of the biggest decisions in the whole expansion comes into play - should you help Songbird or help Reed in Phantom Liberty?
