Keep in mind that the “Stealing Plans” quest is not mandatory, but finishing it will bring you closer to unlocking the next major Companions quest. It’s also important to note that you can only obtain this quest after completing the major quest, “The Silver Hand.”
Aela is the only character who can give you this quest. Once you accept the task, you may be asked to steal plans from the Silver Hand encampment, which is located in a random spot in the game world. Open the world map and go to the location marked by the game. In the initial phase, you will likely have to defeat werewolf hunters guarding the location (as shown in the screenshot above).
After the battle, search for one of the entrances and start exploring the Silver Hand encampment. Before you can obtain the plans, you may have to eliminate one of the leaders of the enemy organization. The plans can be found in a public area, such as on a table, or they may be hidden in a cabinet or chest (as shown in the screenshot above). After obtaining the plans, make sure to add them to your inventory before returning to Aela to collect your reward in gold.

These plans may include blueprints, designs, schematics, formulas, or any other type of information that can be valuable to competitors or malicious actors. Stealing plans can have severe consequences, such as lost revenue, reputational damage, legal actions, or even national security issues.
2. Why do people steal plans?
People may steal plans for various reasons, such as gaining a competitive advantage, creating a copycat product, selling the information to rivals or foreign entities, or disrupting the operations of a company or a government agency. In some cases, stealing plans may be motivated by personal gain, revenge, or ideology. Regardless of the motivation, stealing plans is illegal and unethical, and can have significant repercussions for the perpetrator.
3. How do companies protect their plans?
Companies can protect their plans by implementing various security measures, such as access controls, encryption, monitoring, training, and background checks. They can also use legal mechanisms, such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets, to prevent others from using their plans without permission. Additionally, companies can create a culture of confidentiality and trust among their employees and partners, which can reduce the risk of internal or external theft.

The consequences of stealing plans can be severe for both individuals and organizations involved. For the perpetrator, the consequences may include fines, imprisonment, loss of reputation, and limited job opportunities. For the victim, the consequences may include lost revenue, decreased competitiveness, legal fees, and damage to brand image. The consequences may also extend to customers, employees, and other stakeholders who may be affected by the stolen plans.
5. How can individuals report stealing plans?
If individuals suspect or witness stealing plans, they should report it to the relevant authorities, such as the company’s security department, law enforcement agencies, or regulatory bodies. They can also use anonymous reporting channels, such as hotlines, websites, or apps, to avoid retaliation or stigma. Reporting stealing plans is crucial for preventing further harm and holding the perpetrators accountable. However, individuals should also be aware of the legal and ethical implications of reporting, and seek advice from trusted sources if needed.
