Mission:Looking Through the Glass - Part One: My Own Ally

Part One: My Own Ally

Briefing

Here's the situation, Character. We're aware that Protean has ties to the 5th Column. He used these ties to support this evil double of yours.

We're concerned about how deep his connections to the 5th Column run. Has Protean become a major player within the group, or is he just using them?

Your double has been doing some investigating on the side and discovered the location of a 5th Column base here in Talos Island. That base should have records pertaining to dealings that the 5th Column have had with Protean. We need you and your double to get in there and get any information you can.

• We're on it

Excellent. We've provided your double with a link to the earpiece that Agent Nance gave you. This will allow the two of you to communicate back and forth. While you're inside the base looking for the data, your double will be in another part, helping to secure the area to buy you enough time to find what you need.

Objectives within the mission that are marked as (Mirror's Objective) will be goals that your double is working on.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Character, I can not stress enough the importance of you finding proof of Protean's plans. The longer you wait, the more likely any evidence will be destroyed. Go to that 5th Column base and find proof in regards to what Protean is up to.

Mission Objective(s)

This looks like the secret base that Special Agent Jenni Adair told you about. Find evidence about what Protean is up to!

• Find Information on Protean
  • Defeat the head of the 5th Column Cell
  • Destroy Base Defenses (Mirror's Objective)
  • Access the 5th Column's network
  • Defeat incoming 5th Column (Mirror's Objective)
  • Disarm 4 Computers (Mirror's Objective)

You've gotten the information you need regarding Protean!

"I'm in the base now."

Your Double:

This is your double, Character. I'm in the base now.

I'll be working on taking down the defense grid so you can access the computer.

I'll let you know if anything comes up in the meantime.

Organizing the Information

Before Combat:

Mek Man: Get the information organized, we can't afford to lose Burkholder!

Combat Start:

Mek Man: Character?!

Oberst Heinkamp

Before Combat:

We know you are here, Character!

Combat Start:

This is much bigger than you, Character!

"You should be clear..."

Your Double:

And...there. You should be clear to get to that computer.

Looks like disarming their defenses set off an alarm...!

I'll be OK. You focus on getting to that computer!

Enemy Reinforcements

Before Combat:

Nach Ubermenschen Force: Character is around here somewhere!

Debriefing

Good to see you made it back, Character. Your double reported in a few minutes ago.

The files you found on Protean reveal some troubling news. He's beginning to work his way up the chain of command in both the 5th Column and the Council.

Archon Burkholder was once a member of the 5th Column, until the Council took over. Protean's actions can only mean that he's trying to break up the power of the Council...but why? Protean isn't someone who would throw his allegiance behind anyone besides himself.

And he's trying to lure Burkholder away with...Clockwork plans? This can't be right at all. Give me a moment, Character, I'm going to make some calls.

Speaking of which, I've hooked up my communicator to the earpiece you have. You can contact me whenever you wish.
