**Operation: Eaves Drop** is the third mission in *I Expect You To Die 2*.

## Synopsis

The Handler's mission briefing is as follows:

> Let's see, so Juniper's been working with the Fabricator. As you saw at the theater, she builds... Well, call them "luxury death traps" for Zoraxis. I wonder what she's been doing with Juniper... Agency intel says she operates out of a high security workshop in Barcelona. We've left it alone because, frankly, she's VERY good at her job. Well, there's nothing for it... Let's find out what Juniper's up to.

The mission opens up to the player in the workshop. The player's mission is to bug the mask while avoiding security.

## Walkthrough

Grab the large ball on the podium underneath the lasers. Bring it up to you while avoiding the lasers and put it into the empty hand next to the bear. The lasers will deactivate, allowing you to lower into the workshop. Open the drawers to your right and line up each red square with the square opening on the inside wall of the desk. Open the desk cover up and grab the knife and put it into the drawer on your left with the star on it. Turn the dial on the inside until it shows the left corner of the triangle in the center of the desk. Open the drawer that's inside of that drawer you just opened, find the wire cutters, and take them out. Very carefully open the bottom drawer from the inside of the desk on your left and cut the tripwire inside, allowing you to grab the chisel (you may also grab it without cutting the tripwire, but it is risky). Put it into the door on the right of the logo puzzle with a badge on it. Once the door opens, take the chisel out of its compartment and unscrew the panel behind the door with it. Turn the knob until it shows the right corner of the triangle on the puzzle. Open the sliding door in the desk below the logo puzzle and grab the wheel on the wall behind the desk with a triangle on the back of it. Insert it into the gear mechanism you opened up and turn it until it reveals the compartment above the desk. Open the left drawer and grab the screwdriver, and place it into the last door with a Z on it. Turn the dial until the logo puzzle shows the full Fabricator logo.

When the tracker comes down, take it out of the mini briefcase. Remove the battery and cut the wires for the Zoraxis module on the right of the mask and remove it. Place the tracker where the Zoraxis module once was, then put the module back over the tracker. Grab the solder gun off the wall behind the desk and solder the wires back together, then place the battery back into the mask. A guard will come into the workshop, suspecting something is off. Put the mimic mask on and play the default test for the mask- it's in the center of the compartment above the desk. Once her line finishes playing the guard will leave. Put the mask back in its original spot and leave the workshop.

## Souvenirs

### Hidden Trophy

When riding the chair down, the trophy is on your left on top of some boxes. While you can still access it after you've ridden to the ground, it is much easier to see and grab when you are still in the chair.

### Audiophile

Find and play all 6 audio tapes in order.

### The Bear Did It

When the guard enters the room, put a dart in the bear's crossbow.

### A Vintage to Die For

When the guard enters, open or break the poison gas bottle on top of him once he uses his flashlight.

### Hard Hat Area

Put the metal helmet laying on the shelf on the mannequin behind the player or the bear archer.

### Not That Kind of Bug

Put the tracker in the plant in the right compartment of the desk.

## Debriefing

The Handler's debriefing is as follows:

> From the mimic mask, and everything else we saw in the Fabricator's workshop, it looks like Juniper's been impersonating Heads of State to siphon their nuclear codes to Zoraxis Defense. At this rate, he could have the world at his feet by the end of the week. We need to stop Juniper, and fast.

## Trivia

* Tape 2 in this level seems to witness a conversation between the Fabricator and one other person. Between this Tape and the contents inside, referencing "re-entry" and "new projects", and the mentions of her name on the blueprints around the room, it seems to conclude that Commander Solaris survived the Death Engine and is still alive.
