    When you talk to ADA and choose, “You mentioned an aetherwave drama? I’d like to see it,” the achievement pops after you conclude the conversation following a viewing of the video. Assuming you have Murder on Eridanos for The Outer Worlds installed, when you gain access to the Stellar Bay landing pad, ADA mentions that she has a drama ready to watch. A new quest will appear in the journal, No Night Without Stars. This quest triggers the dialog option with ADA regarding the aetherwave drama and begins Murder on Eridanos for The Outer Worlds.

    You might install Murder on Eridanos for The Outer Worlds after you have arrived at Stellar Bay. If so, when you are next on your ship, ADA will make mention that she has a drama ready to watch and the No Night Without Stars quest will appear in your journal.

    The game recommends you be level 30 for the DLC. Nevertheless, if you are playing on Story or Normal modes, it is not challenging even if you are well below that level. Unless you are playing on supernova, by the time you reach Stellar Bay, you should have the wherewithal to cope with the DLC.

    At any rate, you can start the DLC and, if at any point you feel under-leveled, you can leave it for the time being and return later when you are better prepared. Note that there is very little serious combat until late in the DLC. The quests you complete prior to that point provide generous XP rewards so you will level up several times before the combat intense segment.

    One can play the DLC at any time after landing in Stellar Bay. You can even do it after finishing a playthrough. When you reach the point of no return, the game creates a special system save file. You can finish the game’s story and, afterwards, load up the system save file, and proceed from there to do the DLC.

    Whether you choose to play Murder on Eridanos for The Outer Worlds early, wait until you have finished a playthrough, or any point in between; when you are ready to tackle the DLC, open your Journal and select the quest No Night Without Stars. Talk to ADA and choose, “You mentioned an aetherwave drama? I’d like to see it.”

    You view an interesting film-noir video with a surprising conclusion. Afterwards, you receive a communication from the authorities on Eridanos. They extend an invitation to Eridanos along with a job offer. Exhaust the conversational choices and agree to investigate the murder. This pops the achievement.

    To start the DLC, you must be level 30 and have gained access to the landing pad in Stellar Bay towards the end of the main game’s storyline.

    After reaching this area (or if starting this DLC after finishing everything else), go to your ship and talk to ADA, who will start dialogue about Halcyon Helen. Following some more dialogue from other characters, you will be invited to Eridanos, unlocking this achievement and starting the DLC.

    Pedle ZelnipFigured it out, my installation was goofed.

    albajosYou don't have to be level 30, I'm just level 9. But when I talked to ADA when installing the satnav to Stellar the DLC dialogue choices appear anyway.

    Level 30 is recommended level, not mandatory level.

    InquisitorZac@Pedle Zelnip Good call on the installation booger. Once this was downloaded, the in game prompt on how to begin it triggered before loading a game, but it would never actually start. For some reason this registered as downloaded but was never selected to be unlocked in the actual game management menu.
