Milestone 04: A Train to Catch

Meet Merit at the Train Station

Agent Merit is waiting for you at the train station. Continue down the passageway and turn to the right. In order to get to the train station, you must get through a security checkpoint. However, because of your incursion, the checkpoint is closed.

Walk up to the door of the security station and use the action button to break it open.

As soon as you get through the door, be ready to engage two enemies. Shoot them quickly before they have a chance to inflict damage on you.

After clearing out the enemies in this area, turn to look at the Aspari icon on the wall next to the security station. Activate the DART overlay to see some more Aspari propaganda.

New Propaganda Translated

ASPARI: MISTAKE

”IF YOU FAIL TO CORRECT A MISTAKE, WE WILL CORRECT YOU.”

—Aspari

Now move through the door next to the Aspari icon to enter the safety deposit area with rows of lockers.

There are no enemies in here, but search the area for some collectibles. Look down one of the rows on the left to find the one and only business card in this level.

TO: Jacinta Ruiz

Soon, Jacinta. They say it would be foolish to rush things at this critical stage. That’s usually how people get caught. These guys have a lot of experience with this stuff and I have to play it smart if I’m going to see you again. My Cayman handlers have asked me to lay low a little longer, gathering as much data as I can until the right moment to extract arrives.

I have been promised a luxury suite on the La Ballena once they have the data. You know, that huge floating city. We’ll be set up for life, Jacinta. I told you it would work out better this way than if you had gone to Aspari. You asked before if I had any regrets, and the answer is still no. I can never go back to the way things were before I met you. We just need to have a little more patience, my love…

/ end of entry

There is also some propaganda in this room. Turn around and look up at the Aspari icon located above the door through which you just entered this area. In order to see the propaganda, activate your DART overlay.

ASPARI: UPGRADE TODAY

”UPGRADE TODAY, FOR YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS.”

—Aspari

Continue toward the train loading areas. As you move past a window overlooking the terminal, you can see civilians running as Aspari guards move in to intercept you.

Head down the stairs and then turn right. However, don’t enter the terminal area just yet. You won’t need your sniper rifle later on, so you might as well use the ammo now. While using the wall by the stairs for some cover, snipe at enemies in the terminal area to kill as many as you can before you have to advance through it.

Especially watch out for enemy snipers up on the walkways above the terminal. Look for their targeting lasers and use your DART overlay to improve your chance of a hit.

Once the terminal looks clear, begin moving through it. Look for any enemies that may be hiding. Also watch out for enemies that drop down from above after you pass by and try to shoot you in the back.

Continue all the way to the end of the terminal and then go through the doors leading to the Main Transit Hall Entrance. Keep going through a hallway and down some stairs. Then pass through more doors to arrive at the transit hall.

Agent Merit is up on a catwalk above the transit hall waiting for you. While the train you need to take is arriving, so are lots of hostiles and they are headed your way.

Stay near the information display near the doors where you entered. It offers some great cover. Then strafe to the left or right around it to engage enemies coming at you from the other end of the transit hall.

Use the DART overlay as often as possible. It lets you easily see the enemies at they are advancing toward you as well as slows down time to give you an advantage over the hostiles.

If two or more enemies are close to one another, switch to the secondary fire for the TAR-39 and launch a grenade at them.

After clearing a wave and before more enemies show up, move forward to pick up some ammo. It is important to keep your supply high so you don’t run out at a crucial moment. However, quickly return to your cover before you take too much damage.

Tip

Don’t forget to use your Suicide and Backfire apps. With all of the enemies you kill here, your adrenaline quickly restores the energy to these apps.

Once the train arrives, the waves of enemies come to a halt. Make your way around the area, picking up some ammo for your weapons, and then look through the class in the center of the area. There is an Aspari icon on a wall down the stairs. Activate your DART overlay to see the hidden propaganda.

ASPARI: MONEY SPEAKS

”MONEY SPEAKS MORE THAN THE MOUTH.”

—Aspari

Now move to the open doors of the train where Agent Merit is waiting for you.

However, Aspari has sent in one of their own agents to stop the two of you. Looks like you are in for a fight.

New Agent Threat Profile

THREAT: AGENT TATSUO

/ PROFILE ENTRY

Name: Tatsuo Hamilton (male)
Age: 29
Position: Counter-Insurgency Agent
Affiliation: Aspari
Clearance: Grade 15, Jade Six

THREAT ANALYSIS

Feature: HyperAdrenal® implants allowing almost instantaneous movement.

TACTICAL SUMMARY

Micro-Step allows near instantaneous movement over a short distance, avoiding incoming projectiles and breaking lock-on.

Hyper-Step uses a combination of continuous Micro-Step and offensive chip decoy signaling to project identical images of the Agent. Damaging the image allows DART to filter out the decoys.

Hardened firewall limits offensive breaching opportunities.

BACKGROUND

Indentured Kuala Lumpur 2041, age fifteen months. Reared at Exmouth enhancement creche, Western Australia; initialized for basic training 2053.

INTEL FEED

/ Implant.Analysis: aspari_hyperadrenal

Standard Aspari Agent implant and gene-splicing revolves around their proprietary HyperAdrenal® system. This sacrifices other defensive and regenerative systems to allow incredibly fast movement and near perfect projectile tracking and prediction.

/ EuroCorp.AgentOps_budget: research_IMP43892

Status: Project Cancelled
Reason: Initial R&D into duplicating Aspari “HyperAdrenal®” system cancelled after cost-benefit analysis of Agent subjects showed an estimated 43% decreased MTBF, reducing operational lifetime of Agents to uneconomic levels.

/ Agent.Operations: assignments

Preliminary Ops 2057–61; Melbourne, Singapore, Taipei.

Full Agent status conferred 2061. Transferred to Aspari West Coast 2063.

Known operational involvement in extraction of 37 soft-asset targets from Cayman Global, Wulf Western, and EuroCorp.

/ end of entry

The enemy agent has taken Agent Merit offline. You are on your own. Move to the train door and use the action button to open the doors. However, Tatsuo, the Aspari Agent, is waiting.

Tatsuo’s implants allow him to move extremely fast. In fact, by the time you take aim and fire, he has usually moved out of the way of your bullets.

Therefore, you need to slow him down by activating your DART overlay. Get in some hits while the overlay is activated. Keep track of Tatsuo’s health by watching the trauma status bar in the upper right corner of the screen.

Look for the drones floating above the area. Breach them to cause them to drop a weapon. Then walk over the weapon to get more ammo for your TAR-39. While waiting for your DART overlay to recharge, seek cover from Tatsuo’s attacks.

After you inflict some damage on the Agent, he takes cover for a bit and more Aspari guards show up to fight. Watch for them to drop in from all directions.

Once the guards are neutralized, Tatsuo returns. In addition to his blinding speed, he can also create holo-projections of himself. When these are hit, they return to the Agent, so fire at any of them until you determine the real Agent and can fire for effect.

After you have depleted Tatsuo’s trauma status bar, perform a breach on his holo-projector to finally defeat the Aspari Agent.

Now that the Agent is down, move next to him and extract his chip. You can then spend one point to upgrade your own chip.

Head back to the train and open the door again. Agent Merit is inside.

Since the train is not going to your destination, follow Merit toward the controls so you can breach them and change the train’s destination.

After Merit takes care of the train’s engineer, breach the controls to complete the level.
