Check on Lilith

After starting the mission, approach Lilith who is resting on a couch in your base of operations. Simply interact with her to initiate a conversation and progress the mission.

Tip: This dialogue sequence offers some interesting lore about the ongoing story, so pay attention if you're invested in the Borderlands narrative.

Investigate City Wall

Head to the west side of the yellow objective marker on your map. This is the only accessible entry point to the damaged section of the city wall.

Path Through the City Wall

Move forward until you reach a crossing in the path
Take the left path and continue until you reach the end
Use your grappling hook to pull yourself up to a higher platform

Continue through a damaged building and go through the doorway
In the next room, locate and press the button in the center to open the door behind you
Proceed to the next area and continue forward until you find a jump pad
Use the jump pad, then immediately use your grappling hook to reach even higher
Follow the linear path until you reach what appears to be a dead end
Jump down the hole on the left side to continue

Go to Safehouse

After descending through the hole, you'll enter an area filled with enemy combatants. You have the option to fight through them or simply run past to conserve ammunition.

Continue along the path until you pass through a large shipping container, then make a left turn. In the subsequent area, look to your right side for a grappling point that will allow you to pull yourself up to the safehouse entrance.

Capture Safehouse

Once inside the safehouse, you'll need to reach the top level:

Use your grappling hook on a portrait of the Timekeeper to reach a higher platform
Repeat this process one more time to reach the top level of the safehouse
Turn left and retrieve the data pad from the table

Note: Zadra may provide additional side quests during this conversation, so listen carefully if you're interested in extra content.
