i personaly think you should invest in the guide,amigo.i HAVE the guide and still found it nigh imposible to get that one:rolleyes2 . but it is worth it. your best bet is to use the commspheres (C4) multiple times in ALL,yes all, locations after;
1) before talking to buddy,
2) after talking to Paine,and
3) after Tobly mission.
Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
