2. Operation—Smackdown

Objectives

Hack into Pr0-Lapz’s apartment

Brief

An Internet troll named Pr0-Lapz has been using DedSec’s tag while swatting Internet personalities. This is the kind of thing that makes us all look bad, so we’re going to go deal with him.

Location

2865 Greenway Drive, Residential building, two blocks southeast of Coit Tower, San Francisco.

Drive to the indicated location where Pr0-Lapz is residing. Find the ctOS box, which requires a physical hack. You can:

  • Plan A: Find the planters in the northeast corner of the apartment block. Climb up and run south along the lower roof, to the gazebo. Climb to the roof where the box is.
  • Plan B: Or complete the same route with the RC Jumper.

You’re in! Now, who is this tool? Some basement troll and amateur swatter. Cycle to the camera on the shelf, and begin a little payback. The order you hack the various objects in Pr0-Lapz’s room influences the outcome of your smackdown:

Plan A

Start by calling 911, then hack the tower PC to upload the scary picture, causing Pr0-Lapz to scream. This worries the 911 operator.

Overcharge the E-Cig vaporizer on the stand so it pops, and the 911 operator mistakes it for a gunshot. She radios about a possible 246 in progress.

While Pr0-Lapz yells at his monitors about killing somebody, interrupt his Internet connection. The dispatch mentions the police are “coming in hard,” and sure enough, a SWAT team bursts down the door and really does a number of Pr0-Lapz.

Plan B

If you fail to hack all items in the room, a community police officer knocks on the door instead, and Pr0-Lapz turns all meek. It’s not quite the same as the “pants-soiling” option, but it gets the job done.

Sitara works on expelling Pr0-Lapz from DedSec, and the operation now concludes.
