Break on Through

Power Element Training

**Break on Through** is a mission in *Saints Row IV*.

*There's lot of ways to disrupt the simulation.*— Quest description

## Overview

As soon as the player starts this mission, an AI can be heard talking to Playa. The AI said he can help finding and rescuing Playa's friends, provided that if Playa met him at his rift and complete it. Once the AI finished talking, the player needs to head to the rift, which is near Kinzie's warehouse for this mission. The AI explains the player has to jump to each platform to make the connection to the simulation remains open. The closer the player lands (or simply jump onto the center) the stronger the connection would be (which scores you more points to complete the activity easily).

The AI says he could navigate to the Zin systems and travel between them. Playa still doesn't trust the AI, then the AI says he was once a Zin prisoner too and that he hated the Zin. The AI has been stuck in the stimulation and is creating rifts to cause chaos for Zinyak, which Zinyak has to shut them down to prevent further damage. The AI ensures he gains Playa's trust so he can have the rifts stay open permenantly. The AI explains his body has died long time ago when Playa asked if he could do this on his own. He said he implanted his consciousness into the main simulation computer years ago.

The AI said he couldn't help Playa until he finds a suitable mobile form for AI so he can upload his memory. The AI seems to have a problem with humans that he thinks they couldn't keep their promises well and that he himself can.

Upon finishing the rift, the AI tells Playa his Access Code, being '1331' when he finds a shell for the AI. Mission completed.

## Transcript

### Prologue

*Greetings. If you want to find and rescue your friends, you will meet me at my rift. Goodbye.*— Phone Call, "Pre Mission Phonecall"

+**Playa - Male 1**: "*That was odd...*"

-**Playa - Female 1**: "*Great. Listening to the creepy blocked caller could never go bad...*"
**Playa - Female 2**: "*As a rule I'm not a fan of disembodied voices...*"
**Playa - Female 3**: "*That was just bizzare...*"
**Playa - Male 1**: "*That was odd...*"
**Playa - Male 2**: "*We can all agree that was fucked up, right?*"
**Playa - Male 3**: "*This should be interesting...*"
**Nolan North**: "*That was odd...*"
**Kinzie**: "*No kidding. Does this guy really think we would just trust some random ghost in the machine?*"

+**Playa - Female 3**: "*If there's a chance that this guy can help save our friends it's worth the risk...what's the worse that can happen?*"

-**Playa - Female 1**: "*We don't have much of a choice...fuck it, what's the worse that can happen.*"
**Playa - Female 2**: "*We're not really in a position to turn down help...what could go wrong?*"
**Playa - Female 3**: "*If there's a chance that this guy can help save our friends it's worth the risk...what's the worse that can happen?*"
**Playa - Male 1**: "*Well, if he can help it'd be worth it, right? Besides, what's the worse that can happen?*"
**Playa - Male 2**: "*If this guy has a line on our friends, we have to check it out. Besides, what's the worse that can happen?*"
**Playa - Male 3**: "*Well if it's a trap what's the worse than can happen?*"
**Nolan North**: "*Well, if he can help it'd be worth it, right? Besides, what's the worse that can happen?*"
**Kinzie**: "*I die. You die. We all die. Any combination that involves death at all really.*"

### Cutscene

*You will need to leap from platform to platform. By changing the red platforms to blue, the power connection to this simulation will remain open. The closer you land to the center, the stronger the connection.*— CID, "Mission Brief"
### Gameplay

+**Playa - Female 1**: "*If you don't start telling me how you can help me save my friends I'm walking.*"

-**Playa - Female 1**: "*If you don't start telling me how you can help me save my friends I'm walking.*"
**Playa - Female 2**: "*Don't waste my time: how can you help me get my friends...*"
**Playa - Female 3**: "*I want my friends back...how can you help?*"
**Playa - Male 1**: "*Look, I showed up to your "rift", so start explaining how you'll get me to my friends.*"
**Playa - Male 2**: "*All right I'm here...now tell me how you can help me find my friends...*"
**Playa - Male 3**: "*I'm not doing shit until you tell me how you can help my friends.*"
**Nolan North**: "*Look, I showed up to your "rift", so start explaining how you'll get me to my friends.*"
**CID**: "*I know how to navigate the Zin systems and travel between them. If you can find the right simulation, I can open a gateway between that one and yours.*"

+**Playa - Female 2**: "*Why should I trust you?*"

-**Playa - Female 1**: "*Why would you want to help me... You don't even know me.*"
**Playa - Female 2**: "*Why should I trust you?*"
**Playa - Female 3**: "*What's your stake in all this? Why are you helpin' me?*"
**Playa - Male 1**: "*How do I know you aren't just one of Zinyak's goons fucking with me?*"
**Playa - Male 2**: "*I know you're not doing this out of the kindness of your heart...why are you helping me.*"
**Playa - Male 3**: "*That's real convienent. Why should I trust you?*"
**Nolan North**: "*How do I know you aren't just one of Zinyak's goons fucking with me?*"
**CID**: "*Because I have no love for the Zin as I was once their prisoner too. I have been stuck inside the Zin simulations creating rifts which cause chaos for Zinyak, though the Zin inevitably shut them down.*"

+**Nolan North**: "*Then why am I here doing this?*"

-**Playa - Female 1**: "*Looks like you already got this covered, what do you need me for?*"
**Playa - Female 2**: "*If you can open rifts, why do you need me?*"
**Playa - Female 3**: "*You seem to be doin' fine on your own...why do you need me?*"
**Playa - Male 1**: "*Then why am I here doing this?*"
**Playa - Male 2**: "*What do you want from me?*"
**Playa - Male 3**: "*So what, you want me to be your errand boy?*"
**Nolan North**: "*Then why am I here doing this?*"
**CID**: "*Your help ensures I am able to keep them open permanently. A benefit to us both.*"
 — "Begin Activity"

+**Playa - Female 3**: "*Can't you do this yourself?*"

-**Playa - Female 1**: "*This doesn't seem dangerous, why don't you do it yourself?*"
**Playa - Female 2**: "*So why do you need my help?*"
**Playa - Female 3**: "*Can't you do this yourself?*"
**Playa - Male 1**: "*So why don't you do this yourself? Where are you anyway?*"
**Playa - Male 2**: "*So why aren't you doing this yourself?*"
**Playa - Male 3**: "*Couldn't you have done this on your own?*"
**Nolan North**: "*So why don't you do this yourself? Where are you anyway?*"
**CID**: "*My body has long since died. I implanted my consciousness into the main simulation computer many years ago.*"

+**Playa - Female 2**: "*So how do plan on helping me without a body?*"

-**Playa - Female 1**: "*How can you open a gateway if you're dead?*"
**Playa - Female 2**: "*So how do plan on helping me without a body?*"
**Playa - Female 3**: "*So even though you're dead you can still open these gateways?*"
**Playa - Male 1**: "*Then how can you open these gateways for me?*"
**Playa - Male 2**: "*If you don't have a body, the fuck are you gonna help me?*"
**Playa - Male 3**: "*But even though you have no body you're still going to help me, right?*"
**Nolan North**: "*Then how can you open these gateways for me?*"
**CID**: "*I cannot. That is, not unless you find me a physical, mobile form I can download my memory matrix into first.*"

+**Playa - Female 3**: "*So I'm just supposed to trust you?*"

-**Playa - Female 1**: "*What, I just take your word for it?*"
**Playa - Female 2**: "*So I find you a body and I'm supposed to just trust that you'll help me?*"
**Playa - Female 3**: "*So I'm just supposed to trust you?*"
**Playa - Male 1**: "*So I find you a body and I'm supposed to just trust that you'll help me?*"
**Playa - Male 2**: "*There's always a catch...*"
**Playa - Male 3**: "*That sounds like a lot of work for a vague promise...*"
**Nolan North**: "*So I find you a body and I'm supposed to just trust that you'll help me?*"
**CID**: "*Unlike humans I keep my word and pay my debts. Besides, you know you need me.*"

+**Nolan North**: "*There, I've finished your rift.*"

-**Playa - Female 1**: "*I jumped on the flashy lights, now can you help me kill Zinyak already?*"
**Playa - Female 2**: "*Done.*"
**Playa - Female 3**: "*I did my part...now it's your turn...*"
**Playa - Male 1**: "*There, I've finished your rift.*"
**Playa - Male 2**: "*I jumped through your hoops...what's next.*"
