An Intelligence Leak

Alignment Mission

You'd been hearing the buzz for weeks on the net, but now you have proof that the rumors were true. You found an intelligence leak within Crey Biotech who checks out and learned from her that there is a piece of technology entering the final stage of testing that claims it will put an end to violent crime forever. The source says that a demonstration is being held at the private laboratory of Dr. Howard Gibson, and that the new technology is some sort of Super Chip that can give normal people super powers.

The road to hell is paved with the purest of intentions, and it looks like it's about to get a carpool lane!

This is how it always starts. Some brainiac gets some brilliant idea and never thinks it through with the mind of a mass murderer. All it would take is someone like Nemesis to get his hands on these things and the entire city would tear itself apart. You have no choice, this has to stop here and now. The amount of power these chips grant requires a great responsibility, and the world is already woefully irresponsible. Adding more power into the equation is just asking for carnage. Only people like you are responsible enough to be entrusted with such power. It's time you reminded people of that truth.

VILLAIN: Destroy the Super Chip technology before it goes into production.

Briefing

Dr. Gibson's new Super Chip is designed to turn ordinary peace officers into super powered crime fighters. A quaint idea, but you know that in about 3 seconds flat someone like Nemesis will get his hands on it and turn it against us. You must ensure that never happens, and the only way to be certain is to make sure the technology is destroyed. All it will take is a small demonstration of the poetential villainy that could be done with these chips, and the planned demonstration of the chip to a group of prospective investors will be the perfect opportunity.

• Show the world that mass produced super powers are dangerous!

If I can gain control of the subject through the network then I can have him attack the investors. Nobody in their right mind would support such a project with such an obvious flaw. Of course, then I need to disarm the situation and demonstrate how worthless the chips are by putting the test subject down. Dr. Gibson and his investors need to be reminded that what makes super powers is the people wielding them. You can't mass produce power without also mass producing responsibility, and the world is already in dire need of the latter without the addition of the former.

Unnecessary Solicitation

The facility is woefully undefended. It won't take you, or anyone else for that matter, very long to enter the facility and gain control of the command/control computer. This sort of carelessness is exactly why you need to stop the production of this chip and others like it. Such power cannot be allowed to be seized and used for evil.

Mission Objective(s)

Dr. Gibson's voice comes over the intercom and echoes throughout the facility. The demonstration is beginning, you've timed this perfectly.

• Take control of the super chip demonstration Port Oakes
  • Defeat the Chief of Security
  • Access the Command/Control Network
  • Take control of the super chip demonstration Override the command/control network security protocols
  • Kill Sergeant Easton!

You've eliminated a dangerous and extremely foolish new technology as well as prevented it from ever falling into the hands of evil. At least, until the next brilliant scientist has delusions of doing the right thing.

Chief of Security's Cardkey

This cardkey can be used to access the Command/Control Network. You'll need to eliminate the access records though so this can't be pinned on you later.

Interacting with Command/Control Network

Welcome to Crey Biotech. Please insert your security cardkey now.

• Look for information on the demonstration

Today's demonstration is to be conducted by inventor Dr. Howard Gibson. It will feature and showcase the capabilities of the Super Chip developed in partnership with Dr. Howard Gibson with support from Crey Biotech.

The Super Chip not only provides the recipient with superior strength, reflexes, endurance, and cognitive reasoning, it also links them to the secure Command/Control Network. Through this network an organization will be able to monitor individuals equipped with Super Chips, share information between up to ten-thousand such individuals, administer remote medical aid, or, in the case of loss of cognitive function, issue commands to the individual to get them out of harms way, or complete the given task.

This secure demonstration will feature displays of increased reflexes, strength, endurance, pain tolerance, and some combat capabilities. In addition, the Command/Control Network will feature the remote command function, enabling the subject to carry out commands when rendered unconscious.

• Access the Command/Control Network

This branch of dialogue has already been documented.

• Access the Command/Control Network

Security subnet protocol accessed. Please insert command.

• Subject: Easton>Combat>Lethal>Maximum Force>Initialize

Command confirmed. Initializing subject for maximum force lethal combat.

Please insert command.

• Network:Terminal 552>Security>Compromise>Self Termination

• Now to show Dr. Gibson and his guests the error of their ways.

Sergeant Easton: F... forgive me...

After defeating a player:

Sergeant Easton: C... can't... stop... somebody... help me!

Debriefing

You showed Dr. Gibson the error of his ways. The hubris of the unworthy was the direct cause of the injury and death of many innocents, as well as the unfortunate sacrifice of Sergeant Easton. Only you understand the responsibility of possessing powers so great . Only you can be trusted to defend the innocent from the deeds of the wicked.
