The first task is to head to the second floor of the Flight Control POI. I have marked the location from where you'll find the entrance. Head inside, and take the stairs to the second floor.

Turn left at the top of the stairs and go inside the room. The Transponder will be lying on a table in this room. It will be highlighted by an objective marker.

The next step is to hack the Transponder using another terminal. The terminal is on the first floor; take the same stairs and drop down by one level. You'll find the quest marker, which will guide you to the terminal's location.

Interact with the terminal to hack the Transponder and proceed to complete the final task of the contract.

How to upload malware to dropships outside of Flight Control

The last task is to get outside Flight Control and head to the marked spot. You'll find a wall; cross it, and you'll find a couple of UESC dropships on the otherside.

Go below the dropships to upload the malware, and it will complete the final task and the Truth/Lies 1 contract.
