Milestone 10: Behind the Scenes

Infiltrate Military Landing Platform

As the door to the elevator opens, you see several enemies up ahead. However, you have no weapons. Use the Breach app on the enemy walking toward you. He will kill the other enemies and then himself.

Move forward and pick up some weapons from the dead enemies. There is also a rifle rack on the wall to the right where you can fill up ammo for the assault rifle. Be sure to collect a business card on a table near the rifle rack.

JESS CARTER

/ PROFILE ENTRY

Name: Jess Carter
Age:
41
Position:
Psych Engineer
Affiliation:
Castrilos
Clearance:
Unknown

LOGGED ENTRY

/ IIA.debriefing_covertAction: ID 4678-c

Shortly after the conclusion of the C3 conference in Iceland, a data packet was left at one of our dataverse nodes by Dr. Jess Carter, a leading psych engineer with the Castrilos. He expressed his desire to defect to the I.I.A. and, after a thorough background check, it was decided that someone of his experience would be a significant boon to our Science and Technology Directorate. An ambitious diversionary attack on the Castrilos enclave in Mauritania housing Dr. Carter was drawn up, involving no fewer than three Agents and several supporting commando sections.

The attack proceeded as planned, but instead of meeting up with our operatives at the designated rendezvous point, Dr. Carter and several unidentified individuals commandeered a Castrilos dropship and flew east into the Sahara, away from our assets along the coast. Pursuit was impossible, as by this time significant numbers of Castrilos paramilitaries had joined the fight, forcing a withdrawal.

The identity of the third party that absconded with Dr. Carter remains unknown. EuroCorp and Tao appear likely suspects, but both Syndicates would have had the military means to abduct the doctor from the Castrilos without the need to involve us. Investigation into this matter is ongoing.

/ end of entry

Exit the room and head down the stairs. There are lots of enemies in the outdoor courtyard. Pick off some with long range fire from your rifle.

Once you have cleared out the enemies, advance into the courtyard. More enemies arrive and attack. Watch out for the grenades as you take cover and return fire. Once you have killed enough to recharge the Persuade app, use it to turn one of the enemies to your side and let him do some of your killing for you.

After all of the second wave of enemies have been destroyed, a reactive soldier appears. He is armed with a SWARM missile launcher that can lock on to you, so be sure to rush for some cover.

Breach the reactive armor and fire a clip of assault rifle ammo at the soldier, then run for new cover. The reactive soldier is quick and follows you around. Keep breaching the armor as needed and inflicting damage. After each breach, the soldier is momentarily stunned, which makes for a good opportunity to get in some hits.

Once the reactive soldier is dead, you need to pick up the SWARM missile launcher he was carrying since you need it to continue. Also walk around and pick up ammo for your assault rifle.

SWARM

/ PRODUCT SUMMARY

Model: SWARM
Manufacturer:
Castellano Industries (Cayman Global)
Projectile:
25 mm SSB video-guided missile, 3 (x12) payloads per clip.
Weight:
86 lb (39 kg)

TACTICAL SUMMARY

Primary Fire: Fire 12-missile payload of guided missiles
Secondary Fire:
N/A
Additional:
Tap the aim button to lock on to targets. Up to three targets can be locked at once. Missile tracking only functions when a target has been locked.

INTEL FEED

The SWARM is a high-tech semi-automatic missile launcher used mainly by anti-tank infantry and specialized private security units.

It has a chip-integrated Direct Aim-Lock targeting system and fires 25 mm SSB video-guided missiles. The missiles are fitted with an onboard nano-sensoring system and composed of casing containing an explosive powder charge.

Each magazine contains three sub-munitions payloads each holding twelve missiles.

When firing, one sub-munitions payload is ejected from the barrel. Shortly after being ejected, the payload disintegrates in midair and fires a swarm of missiles toward its targets. These missiles travel along irregular trajectories, recalculating probable target movement in midair.

/ end of entry

Now that you have the SWARM, head to the door from which the reactive soldier came out. Look at the Cayman Global icon above the door and activate the DART overlay to see the invisible propaganda.

New Propaganda

CG: DEPEND

“DEPEND.”

—Cayman Global

In order to open the door, you need to blast its security measures. Lock onto the door with the SWARM by pressing the aim button. Then fire the weapon to launch rockets to blast open the door.

Enter the building and check the laptops on the desk for information to add to your database.

INTEL FEED

/ NewsCast.Aspari: C NC/Carmen Setenza

Excerpt: Good evening, I’m Carmen Setenza. Coming up in the programme, we take a hard look at some of the challenges facing Cayman Global’s corporate enforcement Agents as they tackle the increasing numbers of so-called “stowaway insurgents” in the lower deck areas of our city-rafts.

Not content with infesting lawless areas onshore throughout the Caribbean basin, these criminal elements now think nothing of hitching a ride on a city-raft for months at a time—and they like to plunder as they ride! That’s modern-day pirates, at eleven.

Meanwhile, in other news, recriminations continue between rival mainland Syndicates Aspari and EuroCorp over terrorist attacks on a west coast research facility yesterday and a New York apartment complex tonight. Both Syndicates deny any responsibility for the attacks while simultaneously accusing each other of violent industrial espionage in their territory.

And as investigators sift the wreckage at both sites, a top Aspari biotech specialist is reported dead, and another EuroCorp scientist is listed as missing. Related cases? Find out here, after the break.

New Corporation Profile

CAYMAN GLOBAL: CASTELLANO

/ ORGANIZATION PROFILE

Name: Castellano Armaments
Affiliation:
Cayman Global
Activity:
Weapon manufacturer

INTEL FEED

Castellano has been around as a black-market developer since 1993, as part of the local production of Cuban armament.

Cayman Global initiated a blockade of Cuba in 2062, using the “La Fortaleza” city-raft to control the area and capture all active oil rigs.

Castellano predicted the outcome and merged freely with Cayman Global before the blockade ended in 2063.

The focus has always been infantry weapons, primarily sidearms and riot control, and this production continued after the merger. Castellano is now the primary manufacturer of sidearms for all Cayman Global military and business forces.

/ end of entry

After gathering intel, move through the door and down some stairs to get into the drone maintenance room. There, access some data from a computer terminal and then pick up a business card.

New Corporation Profile

CAYMAN GLOBAL: VANADIUM TECH SOLUTIONS

/ ORGANIZATION PROFILE

Name: Vanadium Tech Solutions
Affiliation:
Cayman Global
Activity:
Active armor

INTEL FEED

Originally an armor and vehicle manufacturer based in Minsk, Belarus, Vanadium Tech was forced into direct control from the Pravitel Syndicate after the “13-days War,” 2031.

After repeated attempts of hostile takeovers by the Tao Syndicate, base of operations was moved to Brazil in 2045. Even though this strengthened the company at first, the Mexican Gulf and South American coast soon fell to the aggressive expansion of Cayman Global and the launch of their floating fortresses in 2059.

Pravitel lost the control only months before Vanadium Tech was about to release the infantry prototype of the Reactive Armor.

As part of the Cayman Global corporate sphere, Vanadium Tech could now align itself with Sanchez-Klein, using their energy conservation research in a lighter armor product, the solid-state Liquid Armor.

Internal reports indicate the loss of Liquid Armor prototype blueprints after the Florida Keys skirmish with EuroCorp in 2068.

MAURICIO ESPEJO

/ PROFILE ENTRY

Name: Mauricio Espejo
Age:
23
Position:
Junior Maintenance Technician
Affiliation:
Cayman Global (formerly)
Clearance:
Unknown

/ Employee.Security.Dossier: ID447-51

Date: Mar 23/2069

Employee was caught on security tape spreading false and alarmist rumors about a “fleet of EuroCorp attack submarines” supposedly being built at a secret naval base in Belfast for the sole purpose of sinking the La Ballena.

Action: “Verbal reprimand issued.”
Date:
May 15/2069

Several security officers overheard the employee making unfounded claims that Aspari Agents somehow infiltrated the La Ballena at the Caracas shipyards before she was even put to sea, welding at least two nuclear suitcase bombs into the bulkhead on the lower decks.

Action: “Written reprimand issued, one day’s pay withheld.”
Date:
Jul 19/2069

Employee witnessed expressing doubts in a public area that Cayman Global would be able to maintain its share price.

Action: “Employee contract terminated. Subject has been blacklisted in all Cayman Global databases and will be escorted off the La Ballena at the next scheduled port stop.”

/ end of entry

Head up the steps. There is a SWARM launcher in a rack at the top. Pick it up if you dropped yours or get more ammo for the one you are carrying. Then head out in the UAV launch area.

As you move through the launch area, stay to the right and take cover behind the pillars. UAVs are being launched and they attack you. Before you can destroy them, you must breach them to overload the chip for their armor. Then lock on to up to three UAVs at one time and fire your SWARM to defeat them.

Tip

If you need more ammo for the SWARM, you can pick it up along the back wall of this area.

Make your way to the far side of the launch area, picking up ammo, and then head up the stairs. More UAVs are launched. Take cover and target them as you move along the catwalk back toward the side where you entered the launch area. Also watch for enemies that appear on the catwalk above you. They can be targeted just like the UAVs with the SWARM.

Gaggle of Guidance

Use the SWARM’s multi-target lock-on firing mode to kill 3 UAV drones with one volley in order to earn this award.

Head up another short flight of stairs to get to the top catwalk. While you can finish off the UAVs, you can also sprint across the catwalk and then move into the UAV control room. Kill the technician as you enter. Then use the control terminal to shut down the remaining UAVs.

Check in your SWARM at the weapon rack in order to open the door to the barracks area. Follow the corridor to the right and head down the stairs.

As you head down the stairs, look at the Cayman Global icon on the wall to the right. Activate your DART overlay to reveal the hidden propaganda. Also be sure to check out the terminals where you can download some intel.

“SUPERIOR.”

Move through the door to exit to the runways. Advance up the steps onto a platform and get ready for a fight.

Take cover behind the low metal barriers and activate your DART overlay. Pick off enemies on the opposite platform, then move through the door to the right to enter a hangar.

Once inside the hangar, breach the controls to open the hangar doors. This also raises a blast shield which you can use for cover.

Engage more enemies while staying behind cover. Breach grenades, then pick them up to use them against the enemies. Once they are all dead, gather ammo and head up the steps to the next platform on the right.

Quickly move along the platform to enter the next hangar. However, there is an enemy by the door. Kill him and then move inside.

When you breach the controls to open the hangar door, an elevator platform rises up instead. It carries a liquid soldier along with a couple jammer soldiers.

New Threat Profile

THREAT: JAMMER

/ THREAT ANALYSIS

Type: Countermeasure Viral Assault Emitter
Feature:
Portable Distortion field generator for non-chipped combat
Manufacturer:
Sanchez-Klein Industries (Cayman Global)

TACTICAL SUMMARY

Generates a distortion field around the carrier that disables all chip-enhanced equipment within the area.

When standing outside the field, all breach targets inside the area are locked from external breach attacks.

Standing inside the field, DART chip systems are distorted and breaching, enemy predictions, weapon info and applications are severely hindered.

INTEL FEED

Cayman Global’s “chip countermeasure commandos” are battlefield-equipped with Sanchez-Klein’s Viral Assault software and are trained to operate in squad with conventional Cayman Global forces.

The Sanchez-Klein VA system deploys multiple viral packages with deep penetrative capability, constantly evolving corruption code and ultra-fast bloom effect.

At present time, there is no known anti-viral for this system. Optimum combat strategy is to neutralize the countermeasures commando with conventional weapons.

Reports indicate that the VA system has been optimized and variants have been used in prototype emitter mines, as well as in infantry grenades.

/ end of entry

Activate the DART overlay. The jammer soldiers appear with a white halo around them. While the liquid soldier stays near them, you can’t breach his armor. Therefore, those jammers have to go. Take cover and target the jammer soldiers first. If you still have a frag grenade, use it or shoot at explosive containers. Once both jammers are down, breach the liquid armor and kill that soldier. Clear out any remaining enemies in the hangar. Also swap out your pistol for the liquid soldier’s shotgun.

Exit through a small door on the far side of the hangar and continue through a short hallway into another hangar. Breach the controls to open the hangar door. Move into yet another hangar and breach the controls. This time, a blast shield rises as the doors open, so get ready for a fight.

This time you face UAVs as well as soldiers. What makes this tough is that the UAVs have liquid armor. So you can’t destroy them until you breach their armor. However, there are some jammers preventing this from happening. Therefore, locate and kill the jammers first. Then breach the UAVs and finally destroy all enemies. The enemy throws a lot of grenades at you. A good strategy is to breach them, pick them up, and throw them back—especially while you are trying to get those jammer soldiers.

After all enemies have been neutralized, move out onto the runway and break open a hatch so that you can drop down into an access duct.

Crouch down and move through the ducts. Use your DART overlay to locate a UAV in the ducts before you crawl into its ambush. Quickly breach its armor and then blast it. Continue to the end of the duct and drop down onto the landing observation deck.

The deck is on lockdown while the dropship unloads Lily and the enemy agent. As you watch them walk into the building, there is nothing you can do but note the locations of the enemies left behind to guard the platform.

Locate and Extract Lily Drawl

Once the landing sequence is complete, the lockdown is raised and the door opens. Don’t exit the observation platform just yet or you will fall to your death. Instead, clear off all of the enemies on the platform.

Breach the controls on the left side of the platform to override the landing platform and cause it to swing over toward you so that you can use it to get to the other side of the gap. Then drop down onto the platform and walk across to where the dead enemies are lying. Pick up any ammo from them.

Follow the walkway to the left and then around a corner to the right. Look up at the Cayman Global logo and activate your DART overlay to see the propaganda.

New Propaganda

CG: POWER

“POWER.”

—Cayman Global

Now move to the door and breach the controls to override the door lock. Unfortunately, while the door is unlocked, you have to wait for the elevator and more enemies are coming along the walkway.

A liquid soldier and a couple of jammer soldiers are headed your way. Try to shoot the jammers first if possible before the liquid soldier gets in close. If not, rush past him and execute a jammer with a melee attack.

Kill the second jammer and take cover along the walkway. Then breach the liquid soldier’s armor and blast away until he is dead.

Finally move back to the elevator which has arrived. Enter it to complete this milestone...
