Milestone 09: The Floating City

After a long flight from New York City, the dropship arrives at the floating city of La Ballena. Hang on until the dropship comes to a complete stop.

As you are flying by the floating city, look for a large Cayman Global logo on a black wall. Quickly activate your DART overlay so you can see the propaganda before you move past it.

New Propaganda

CG: IMPROVE

“IMPROVE.”

—Cayman Global

When the dropship comes to a halt, look for a control box up on the side of the building. Breach it to override the blast shield.

Once the blast shield opens, move to the edge of the dropship and jump through a window to land inside the building.

Reroute Dropship to Low Security Platform

Move across the room toward the flight controller, who is focused on his work. Come up behind him and press the action button to extract his chip. As a reward, you get to add an upgrade to your own chip.

Now that you have the chip, breach the console to override the air control and send the dropship to a low security platform so it will be easier to get Dr. Lilian Drawl away from the Cayman Global Agent.

Stay in the room until the air control is rerouted. Also, you must wait until you have acquired some datascape camouflage so that you can move about the facility without arousing suspicion. While you are waiting, search the room. Look at the Cayman Global logo on the back wall and then activate the DART overlay to see the hidden propaganda on it.

New Propaganda

CG: STRENGTH

“STRENGTH.”

—Cayman Global

Check out the laptop on the large table by the propaganda. You can access data from it to add to your database. There is a second laptop by the large window facing the dropship.

The La Ballena, known as the “Caribbean Whale,” is the largest city-raft in the world, and one of the largest man-made objects ever constructed. It serves as the flagship of the Cayman Global Syndicate, and has been an instrumental cornerstone in their power projection ability since it was launched in 2065 at the Caracas offshore shipyards.

Next, look for a business card. It is located on the console across from the dead flight controller. Pick it up and add the business card to your collection.

Excellent. Very good work on Subject 49. Judging by your reports, progress is over expectations. The data Kawashima will bring us from West Meld looks extremely promising. We have arranged for his extraction from Aspari South Central and you will meet him in Mexico City next week, where he will be instructed to hand over the data to his “sweetheart.” Once you have the files, liquidate Kawashima at your discretion and return to the La Ballena. We’ll have another assignment waiting for you.

/ end of entry

Reach Low Security Landing Platform

Now head to the door with the eyescanner above it. Wait for it to scan you. Since you have the datascape camouflage, you are granted access. Walk through the opened door and enter the maintenance area. Go through the door on the right that leads to the visitors center.

Once in a hallway, turn to the left and advance though some glass doors in a central lobby.

Inside the lobby, look up at the Cayman Global logo on an elevator tube and activate your DART overlay to see the propaganda.

New Propaganda

CG: VICTORY

“VICTORY.”

—Cayman Global

You can also hear the news from the holohost in the lobby. At the end of each update, breach the holohost to hear a secret message. There are four news updates followed by four secret messages you can access through breaching the holohost. Listen to them all.

Executive personnel are required, under pain of termination, not to discuss the following details with any uncleared citizen.

La Ballena currently operates a standing combat force of 11,470, mostly disguised among the ranks of the ordinary police and security workforce. Special force capacities include covert insurgency, targeted assassination and extraction, and full rapid deployment assault.

Note that given current peace treaties and contractual undertakings between Syndicate blocs, this latter option is not considered viable for the foreseeable future. Rapid deployment assault from La Ballena is, however, fully enabled should need arise.

Highest clearance required—do not share this data with anyone below intelligence executive level.

Further to the detected collaboration between research officers at Aspari west coast and EuroCorp New York, it is now the considered opinion of the security executive that this is a covert strategy designed to isolate Cayman Global in both the markets and the geopolitical context of the Americas.

Accordingly, La Ballena is now at Code Block Preparatory. All executive cadres are to report in at hourly intervals, strategic assault software is in play. Rapid Deployment personnel have all leave cancelled and should report to command within the next six hours.

That is all—please await further updates.

After listening to the fourth breached data stream, breach the holohost one more time. However, when this happens, the holohost disappears. Activate your DART overlay to see a holographic propaganda.

New Propaganda

CG: DOMINATION

“DOMINATION.”

—Cayman Global

Exit the lobby through the door to the left of the holohost. Follow the corridor to some steps that lead to the elevators. As you are walking, you intercept communications. Cayman Global knows there has been an intrusion and is redirecting the dropship to a more secure location.

Infiltrate Military Landing Platform

Wait for the elevator on the left to open and then enter it. The eyescanner gives you a scan and provides you low security access. However, you need more access than that now.

Breach the controls to override the elevator to get to floors with high security clearances. You are able to get executive security clearance.

Unfortunately, your clearance does not last long. There is a security override and you do not pass the new scan. As a result, countermeasures are employed. Toxic gas is pumped into the elevator. Quickly break open a hatch on the side of the elevator by pressing the action button. Continue pressing the action button to rip the hatch off and disconnect the gas canisters and complete this milestone.
