Operation: Squeaky Clean

**Operation: Squeaky Clean** is the second mission in *I Expect You To Die*.

Acting natural.

## Synopsis

The Handler's briefings of the mission are as follows:

> Zor's people recognize you now, so you'll be going undercover for this mission. I hope you're not scared of heights. Data retrieved from Zor's car confirms information linked to us from a 'Doctor Lincoln'. We've also heard news that Zor's lieutenant, Daniel Sans, has been researching a supervirus. We need you to infiltrate the lab and destroy that virus.

The mission then opens up to the player standing on the side of a building, looking through a glass window into a laboratory. The player must use the chemicals and formulas provided to them to create an antivirus while dodging assassins, deadly gas, and incorrect formulas.

## Walkthrough

The player must first break the glass of the window to reach the chemicals. This can be done by shooting it with the gun or smashing it with the thermos. Security lasers will then appear and an identification podium will ascend into the middle of the room. The spray bottle or the smoke bombs (the green and purple canisters at the back of the room) can reveal the lasers. Either use a small glass shard to cut the wires underneath the podium, or grab the key card out of C.C.'s locker and maneuver it to the top of the podium. Once the podium is disarmed, the lasers will disappear, giving you full access to the panels in front of you.

First priority should be to tilt the green lever for the chemical up so the player has access to that. Open A.L.'s locker and grab the chemical list, child's drawing, and periodic table off the wall for reference. The colors on the periodic table and child's drawing correspond directly to the chemical colors. The player's first combination should be the green chemical, the red chemical, and the blue chemical to eliminate the copper chain holding the yellow lever down. Make sure to put everything down after the chain is burned off, because an assassin will appear in a window behind you. There are three ways to avoid this: act like a normal window washer (you can spray the spray bottle and wave the sponge in the air a few times or pour some coffee from the thermos into the cup), use the gun and shoot the window where the silhouetted assassin is to scare them off, or continuously block their gunshots with something (ex. the periodic table, the clipboard in the compartment to your right, etc.) until they give up.

After that, turn on the yellow lever if you haven't already and create the combination on the child's drawing. The combination is yellow, red, and purple in any order, or "ReNnY". Then take the combination and insert it into the far canister transporter and press the button underneath to scan it. The concoction will not go through, and a voice message will play. Let the antivirus sit in the transporter to keep it safe from any flying debris. The villain monologues for a few moments before the super virus gains its metal casing and starts to set out for just outside the building. There are many ways you can take down the metal casing, and this part is not timed, so take your time choosing. You can either create the combination of yellow and blue to create a mixture that will explode when it comes into contact with anything and drop that above the metal casing to explode most, if not all, of the panels off. You can shoot each panel off with the gun, but the gun only has 9 bullets, so conserve them. You can also take off the panels with your telekinesis. Once enough panels are off, then create another concoction of the red, green, and blue chemicals to destroy the copper chain holding the cap of the super virus down. This will start a 10-second timer where you have to take off the super virus cap and place the antivirus into the super virus. It must physically enter the super virus, placing it on top of the super virus will not count. Once it is in, a voice message will play, mentioning that the super virus has been neutralized. Let the timer run down and let the supervirus fly away into a building.

## Souvenirs

There are 5 souvenirs, along with one speedrun, for this mission.

### Doctor Freeze

Make any chemical combination and place it into the freezer below the periodic table and close the door.

### Plane To See

Grab the clipboard to the very right of you and press a button on your controller while holding the clipboard to create paper airplanes. Fly every single one you can make. This button may vary depending on your platform.

### Laser Mister

Use the spray bottle to reveal the lasers.

### You're Toast

Grab the sandwich in the drawer to your right. Light the Bunsen burner on the very far right and burn the sandwich.

### Undercover

Grab the sponge and actually wash the windows. Both of the windows to the side of the main one can be cleaned if you've already destroyed the middle window.

### Speedrun

The speedrun for Operation: Squeaky Clean is 2 minutes.

## Debriefing

The Handler's debriefing is as follows:

> A bit of bad news- your test scores for window washing came back. It seems breaking a window is generally frowned upon while washing it. But, hey. What's a broken window to saving 500,236 lives? Quite a bit, actually. It's coming out of your paycheck.

## Trivia

* See Operation: Squeaky Clean (Developer Commentary).
* A.L. on the locker is referenced in Operation: Friendly Skies as a "Ms. Lincoln". Support Agent, in the mission briefing, will address her as Ashley Lincoln.
* Throwing some objects off the side of your play-area will elicit different responses depending on what you throw. If you throw money, somebody from below will either shout in joy or exclaim something akin to "free money". Throwing a smoke-bomb concoction off the side will have a group of people screaming and coughing.
* Having Support Agent comment on the books in the lab will give small tidbits to lore.
	+ Security Laser Installations: "Could've used THIS book during the London Incident."
	+ Evil Chemistry- Advanced Study: "A dastardly tome."
	+ Guidelines: Minion and Henchman Benefits: Either, "It appears Zor's minions have unionized. Good for them!" or, "I hear that henchmen executed for failure are not eligible for death benefits."
	+ Secret Formulas And You: "Ah, excellent find Agent! Toss that off the platform and we'll analyze it later."
* Burning the paper in the sandwich drawer reveals an advertisement for Squeeky Clean, a window glass washing service. Their motto is, "You'll barely know we're there!" The paper says to call today, but no phone number is provided.
* In the city view behind you, there is a sign on one of the buildings titled "SCHELLCO". This is a reference to Schell Games, the creator of *I Expect You To Die*.
* The virus bomb's internal Zoraxis name is "Operation: Toxic Rain".
