Poison the water of a delegation from a rival House.
Briefing
We have found that the Yafengs are to provide water to the delegation of one of our rivals in the Landsraad. We wish the envoys to be... indisposed and unable to conclude their business on Arrakis.
To that end, we bribed an employee to poison a specific water shipment, but he abandoned this task without explanation. He did, however, leave the poison and instructions in its use. We need you to complete the mission.
First, poison the well. Second, ensure its water reaches its intended destination.

Findings
"Saboteur's Instructions" from objective: Find the saboteur's hidden stash
I leave this for whoever comes after me. Call me a coward. I don't care. Poisoning the water is the easy part. You need to look for the cistern marked in white. Poison that, and the whole supply is compromised before anyone can check. The weak link is an exposed feed line.
But to finish the job, you have to access the Head of Operations' computer at her desk to override the shipment manifests, and I'm not doing that. I know what she does to traitors. She hates them even more than layabouts.
You will also need to make sure to mark them as having passed the poison snoopers. Good luck.
Interacting with Cistern in objective: Poison the marked water cistern
This squat, metal cistern vibrates with activity. You see a small chamber where the flow of water pauses before continuing down narrow pipes.
Player: Examine the cistern and find a place to insert the toxin.
Just as the instructions said, the weak link is an exposed feed line. Anything poured here will be distributed to the rest of the water supply.
Player: Apply toxin.
You pour the toxin into the feed line. For a heartbeat, it discolors the water before being swept away, clean and clear.
Interacting with Terminal in objective: Clear and divert the water shipment
You open the secure terminal. The screen fills with shipment ledgers, contracts, and off-record arrangements.
Player: Modify the shipment's destination.
The operation goes without a hitch.
Player: Manually override certifications.
The shipment has now officially passed all appropriate checks. Poison snoopers. Quality assurance. Sealed and signed - K. Yafeng.
Completion Message
Well done. The Yafengs will not discover the sabotage until well after the delegates of our rival House feel the effects of the poisoned water. Furthermore, the Yafeng will collect all of the blame. You will receive full recompense, and our Great House will not forget your efforts.
