Checking Out the Men in Charge

Search Miller’s Apartment

Objectives

You need to know more about the people you’re working with, especially Miller. It’s time to search his private residence to see what you can find out about him. Go to the modern apartment building, and break into the marked apartment (203). You can hack in through the front door, or use a balcony close to the door to jump over to his window.

Search the first floor for a laptop to hack. It doesn’t have what you need, but it’s very nice for XP. Then, go upstairs. Strike the punching bag that’s hung near his bed, and go into a secret room that opens. Get everything in that room that isn’t nailed down. You find his keycard, which is especially important. Break open his safe, using a Multi-Tool if needed. There is another one inside, and you also get some cash. You learn that his Palisade Account code is (1363).

Then, hack the second laptop that you find.

Leave the apartment, and go meet Alex Vega. She’s near TF29, in a small courtyard. Tell her about everything you’ve seen, and consider giving her the evidence from Rucker if you have it.

Use the NSN Device

Objectives

Overview

Return to TF29 and go to the second floor. Use Miller’s keycard to get into his office, and walk into the adjoining chamber with the NSN device. You’re given a brief cutscene and then thrown into a virtual reality program.

Inside that program, you need to hack five servers. Look for a passage that leads out of the conference room where you arrive. Follow that to a pink spot on the floor, and then step on it. You are taken into another program, where the servers are located.

Interact with the obstacles ahead just as you would in Breach. You can open them with a tiny minigame, and then pass through. Do this to get behind a small server room, and then access a vent on the floor to get inside. Use the server to get the first dose of your data.

Go into the next large room, and use the hall on your left to advance. Raise two barriers to block the set of cameras ahead, and then enter a vent. Crawl around and behind the cameras, block a third one when you exit the vent, and search for a ladder. Climb up to get the second server, and then retreat to the large chamber.

There’s another server on the right side of the large room. Stack two of the crates that are here on top of each other. Use them as a stepping stone to get up to the server above you, and then get its data.

Take another one of those crates with you as you ascend the stairs in the center of the room. A laser fence prevents anyone from walking directly up to a data server, but you can get above it. Drop the crate near one of the supports around the server, and climb onto the roof. You can drop into the middle of the room, get the server, and walk out without trouble.

Stay in the center of the room, but look for an area at the very bottom of it. A small entrance allows you to go underneath the walls once you remove a barrier. Go through this underpassage, lift server blocks to help you ascend, and then climb a ladder to a middle tier. You have to hack to make a second ladder and reach the top. The last server is there, and this ends the sequence.

You come out of the NSN, and the mission ends. Dr. Auzenne talks to you as you go back into Miller’s office, which begins a Side Mission called “Fade to Black.”

You also get a call from Vega when you leave TF29. She’ll set up an appointment with Janus and leave a Pocket Secretary near the meet-up site with additional information.
