"The workers are leaving the city of Edgewater. Reed Tobson, administrator of Edgewater, wants to force these deserters to return to the city by cutting off their power"

The first thing you will have to do is go to meet Adelaide, the leader of the deserter group. You can find it in a colony just outside Edgewater making its colony one of the largest and most productive.

When speaking with Adelaide she will refuse saying that she does not want to return to Edgewater while Reed is there, because it was Reed who forbade her son to receive medical treatment, which caused the death of his son.

Knowing this you will have to decide whether to redirect power to Edgewater or the botanical laboratory, keep in mind that the citizens of Edgewater are beset by a plague that is consuming them, in contrast, the laboratory community is relatively prosperous, putting you in one of the larger dilemmas of Outer Worlds.

In case of giving your vote to the citizens of Edgewater, you will have to take the power to the geothermal plant by activating three switches before redirecting the power of the plant from the master control terminal resulting in the following:

• Your faction reputation with Spacer’s Choice will increase while the faction with the Deserters will decrease.
• The return of the Botanical Lab defectors will return to Edgewater.
• Grace and Thomas will offer additional missions that will convince defectors to return, however, Adelaide will not want to leave the botanical laboratory.

Although you don't necessarily have to redirect power to Edgewater or the botanical laboratory in this way. There is a much more feasible choice that will help both parties making the most difficult decision of Outer Worlds not the one you expected but the one that offers the best result for everyone.

The first thing you have to do is look for Adelaide and press her to tell you about her fertilization methods, she will tell you that she fertilizes her soil with corpses, which helps her small community to thrive in addition to keeping the plague away from her .

Then complete the missions of Grace and Thomas and convince the defectors to return to Edgewater, Adelaide will continue with her refusal to return. So look for Reed Tobson, talk to him and tell him that Adelaide found the method to make the community prosper and ward off the plague, but you'll have to lie to him about the method.

Reed will recognize that Adelaide's methods do offer positive results, and will leave his post at Edgewater leaving Adelaide who will leave the botanical laboratory and return to Edgewater. Meanwhile Reed ends up defeated equally.
