This achievement was the one that kept me from the 100% - hope the following helps! Spoilers, obviously, as the SAD base is the last locale sequence of the game. Sadly, I don't remember the exact upgrades needed, but here are the general prerequisites for my playthrough:

Auspex
Celerity
Presence
Rafa from the Anarchs' help

The setup for this achievement starts at the beginning of Leysha's initial SAD base mission. The following is from the perspective of Leysha having escaped the Red Salon without having been captured, feel free to comment on what would differ should you be captured.

When at the docks, head straight for land, go up the stairs to the left of the area, and head in through the first door on your right. Copy the outfit of the worker inside, go down the stairs you came up and take a sharp left and go through the door on the left into the area's safe room to put on the outfit with RB. Go back upstairs, interact with the crane controls on the panel and move the crane. That's it for this area. You can move along with the campaign as you wish.

Once you spawn in as Emem, you'll want to proceed until you get to a locked gate. Head up the stairs nearest said gate, go left and up onto the crane and go all the way across until you see two guards in the area of the crane that you moved (you'll pass a pair of guards prior, the guards you need to listen to using LB are further down the crane). Listen to their conversation. This is the first lead on the informant.

Go on in the level until you get to a segment in which you view a conversation between a guard and an office worker from above. Kill the guard and after a cutscene, you'll face the worker. Use presence on him and ask him about the informant. This is the second lead.

Jump up through the ceiling panel in the room next to the one you spoke to the worker in and face left. Instead of going straight and jumping down, head right, then left, and follow the hallway until you see a point where you can blink using celerity. Jump up, inspect the moving fan and contact Rafa. Now go back to where you came from but don't jump back into the office, right by the ceiling panel you jumped through there's a toolbox. Inspect it and take the tool and head back to the spinning fan to cut the wires. Go through, look through the grate and use auspex on the file on the top of the screen. This is the third lead.

Move along until you get to another sequence where you'll drop down to kill a guard and an IT worker. Once cleared, you'll find a safe in the office with one desk and a conference table (the safe is behind the desk and the code is 050211). Open it and contact Rafa once you've read the file. DON'T LEAVE yet. Instead, head into the room where you killed the IT worker and head to the far right at the back of the room. There'll be a red post-it on a monitor. Inspect it and contact Rafa. When you leave, you'll get a call from Rafa and the achievement should pop.

HIGHLY MISSABLE — This trophy is highly missable, in part because it takes place over multiple chapters and it also has a few pre-requisites. The Scenes in question are Scene 11 Parts 1, 2, & 3: Emem – S.A.D. Base AND also Scene 10 Part 1: Leysha – S.A.D. Base.

Note: See our Complete Walkthrough for a full guide to each of those Scenes, including further details on how to get each clue.

Pre-requisites:

While doing Emem's Scene 08 – Anarch Domain, you must have recruited Rafa.
While doing Scene 10 Part 1 on Leysha, you must move the crane.

There are several clues you'll need to pick up in all 3 Parts of Scene 11.

SCENE 11 PART 1:

CLUE #1: You'll be in the same area that you previously did in Scene 10 Part 1: Leysha – S.A.D. Base. If you moved the crane back then, you will be able to walk on the long yellow crane up above the room. While you're walking across, turn on your Auspex vision (press ; otherwise you won't see the prompt), and as you walk across, you'll be able to use Auspex to eavesdrop and listen in on 2 NPCs talking. There are 2 groups of 2, but the important ones you want for this are the ones all the way on the other side, dressed in red, standing where the crate was that Leysha lifted with the crane. That conversation counts as one clue.

CLUE #2: A bit later on, when you're lifting up a trap door/hitch, you'll look down and listen to a SAD soldier and an agent having an argument, then once the agent leaves, jump down to kill the soldier. The agent will come back in, and, when the option appears, you'll need to use your Presence to get him to tell you what he knows about the traitor; that there is a second traitor as well; an accomplice.

SCENE 11 PART 2:

CLUE #3: Once you've dropped down and can explore the 4 offices, this first clue is found in the Safe in the L3 Office. Currently, the only way to solve the puzzle yourself & discover the code is if you have Auspex Lv.2: Psychometry. (There might be another way to find the code, but not sure.) If you do, you can use it on a desk found in the L1 Office, which will show you a vision of a worker placing something secretly up on the ceiling grate, back up in the crawlspace area. Head back up there to discover the piece of paper and the code written on it. If you don't have the Psychometry ability, that's fine. The code is: 050211.

Either way, open the safe, take the Tremere Concoction for yourself, and look at the note. Read it first, which tells you about the informant's name, Corvus. Once you've read it, interact with it again and, since you ought to have Rafa in your group, you'll get the option to contact him. Do so, and after a little back-and-forth, he'll inform you that he needs some more information about the server. (Note: If you don't have Psychometry, the piece of paper with the code will not be there.)

CLUE #4: In the L4 office, look around and find the 1 computer monitor that has a red sticky note attached to it. Read it and contact Rafa to give him the info. He'll say he'll get back to you. Look around the room if you haven't yet to see the other things, and once you open the door to leave, Rafa will contact you and drop a rather startling bomb about the informant(s).

SCENE 11 PART 3:

CLUE #5: When you reach the laptop to install the virus, you're going to want to not submit the virus right away, otherwise you'll miss the remaining clues. On the computer, you'll have a selection of words that are search terms. Combine 2 terms and press Confirm Search to see the results. Each time you search, new terms will unlock for you to use.

Remember, this is a timed section, so be quick. You can use to look over your shoulder & see their progress breaking down the door. If you are too slow and the soldiers get through, Emem will die for good. If that happens, restart the Scene and do it again. (That said, not only is this Scene very short, but the time you're given is quite long; you really shouldn't have a problem with it.)

STEP 1: First, put in Administrator and Password. The document it unlocks will tell you that the password is the date the S.A.D. organization was created.

STEP 2: To find the date, punch in Organization and Creation. Using the date and content of the emails, you'll discover that S.A.D. was created on September 09, 2015. Thus the code for the laptop is 09092015. Once you unlock the laptop, you'll be able to submit the virus, but DON'T.

STEP 3: Now it's time to search for more clues to the identity of the traitor. Type in the following Search combinations and read all of the documents provided:

Informant & Interrogation
Nomenclature & Interrogation
Accomplice & Informant
Terrorist & Capture
Informant & Code Name
Identity & Corvus
Interrogation & Jara Drory

The last one will open a sound file, which is the recording of Drory's interrogation (read: torture). Listen to it and you will discover the traitor. If you found all the other clues, the trophy should pop here.

Finally, when you're done with all that, submit the virus back on the Peripherals & Drive tab and end the Scene.
