Eliminating an IO Operative

To eliminate an Imagined Order Operative, you just need to stay around Covert Cavern where you start the quest and eliminate any of the guards you will find in the area. The interior of the cavern should pretty much be crawling with them, so just run around until you find and can eliminate one.

When you’ve killed an IO Guard, they should drop a Data Card that you need to collect. Once you obtain the card, you will be given a new quest to complete, which has you bring the Data Card to a Dead Drop. There are multiple dead drops all over the map, but you can find one pretty close to Covert Cavern.

Just travel west across the bridge/road and you will locate a stump that is acting as a Dead Drop for The Seven.
