Melbourne Regionals Top 8 - Giles Adams Corp

This looks like a combo deck but without an Archived Memories or Reclamation Order, I have a hard time understanding how this combo is supposed to work. Is there any explanation available on how this works?

This deck is Fast Advance + Combo, the idea being you just try to fast advance normally, but if you assemble the combo at 4+ points you can win. In that sense there are two main ways it goes off:

1) Astroscript Token + (Jackson, Shutdown, Accelerated) in hand. Installing Jackson click 1 and then Shutdown-ing your deck into archives click 2, you Jackson back: Interns, Shipment, Shipment. Playing them with Accelerated lets you Interns a Beale into play, double Shipment and then Astro-token to 5 advancement to score for 3 points and the game.

2) No astro-token. Combo in hand but with: either Jackson or Beale installed from previous turns. Now you Shutdown click 1, accelerate click 2 and then click 3 just advance normally to score the overadvanced Beale.

Without a Beale left in your deck (or in Archives) you can't win from 4 points. However, if you're at 6 you can score any agenda with this combo and win from there.

Recently I've had a go with this in Making News. With the extra cards you need two Breaking News, which is actually often more useful cause now you can Fast Advance normally more easily (or combo from 5). Also, the extra influence is spent on Eli which is a great credit/click drain on the runner, allowing you more time to FA the first few agenda, and assemble your combo.

I'm really looking forward to the Upstalk identity. 17 influence in my mind means 2xBiotic + Combo Pieces + 3xEli, giving you more FA tech. And the free draws makes getting your FA stuff easier, but also assembling the combo.
