Labyrinths Finale

**Labyrinths Finale** is the final Labyrinths mission, in which Kaguya wants PA\_0022 to be crashed. It has no actual name, and it starts after all Bibliotheque contracts were done. The conclusion of this mission is player-determined.

Once this mission has begun, the player gets only one chance to complete it. If the plane crashes, the game is concluded, with no chance of trying again.

## Summary

Kaguya informs you that, with Coel, they've been sabotaging a chemical weapon research, and they have deleted all digital backups. However, a hardcopy of the data exists in a plane, PA\_0022, which Kaguya wants to be crashed to prevent the weaponization of the data. PA\_0018, the other plane, has the research's reports, and the decision is left up to you.

D3f4ult accepts the mission and attempts to crash the first plane, however Coel goes rogue and asks you to save the plane while she's holding D3f4ult and Kaguya off. You can decide whether to crash the plane Kaguya asks you to, crash both planes, or save them.

## Walkthrough

**Save ending**:

1. Hack PA\_0018
2. Copy FlightSystems/747FlightOps.dll
3. Upload 747FlightOps.dll to the FlightSystems directory on PA\_0022
4. Hit the "Reload Firmware" button in order to save the plane
5. Optionally, hit "Pilot Alert"

Unless the plane is at or below the point of no return, it will be saved. Afterwards, Coel will tell you to delete the /bin and /sys folders on Kaguya\_Gateway.

**Crash ending**:

Do nothing. PA\_0022 will crash.

**Double crash ending**:

1. Hack PA\_0018
2. Remove FlightSystems/747FlightOps.dll
3. Hit the "Reload Firmware" button in order to crash the plane

Both planes will crash.

In every case, you will be given a link to Kaguya\_Projects.

## Trivia

The existence of the chemical weapon research is disputed. Following the save ending, you gain access to Kaguya\_Gateway, which contains two files, KTH.txt and LabyrinthsTodo.txt, on the /home/projects/ directory. These files suggest that Kaguya had some other goals for the attack, like punishing an unknown CEO and using a public attack to inject a backdoor that allows access to target machines, possibly other planes or computer systems.

### Possible Spoilers (read at your own risk):

However, if you complete the DLC before the end of the main game (have at least two/three contracts that are not complete before you get the Bit -- Foundation mission), you receive a CSEC contract called Subvert Psylance Investigation, in which you're asked to help the posters' friend, who is being framed for an attack she did not commit. The attack is mentioned as the PA\_0022 incident, with the poster asking you to "COVER TRACKS WELL" and signing off as -K.

During the mission, you hack into Psylance Internal Services to replace the incident report with the one from CSEC, where you can find a file in the /projects/clients directory, Nisei\_MK\_III.txt, that references the Nisei MK III project Coel was tracking for Kaguya. This could suggest that the chemical weapon threat was, to an extent, true.

Additionally, by running DECHead on the file provided by CSEC, you can see that it was encrypted on Kaguya\_Gateway, making Kaguya or Coel the only people that could have given you the mission. Based on the other clues, it is widely believed the poster is Kaguya.

## Bugs

* ~~After a plane is crashed, it can still be accessed by adding DCLOC: in front of its IP. Such IP change is done because it is impossible to remove node from Hacknet.~~
* ~~Plane IP can be changed without using DCLOC: IP by going to ISP server, looking for IP and changing it when plane disappears from server list.~~ (There doesn't seem to be a DCLOC command)
* If you upload 747FlightOps.dll to PA\_0022 before the firmware is reloaded by D3f4ult, the mission will not progress. You'll need to reload the firmware with the file missing, and then continue with the upload, in order for the mission to complete successfully.
* If you choose the double crash ending, D3f4ult will claim PA\_0018 is down even if it hasn't crashed yet. This happens because the scripts only check whether the planes have valid firmware loaded, and activate once PA\_0022 has crashed (without waiting for the other plane to crash too).
* The planes' altitude will be reset once you quit your session. This applies to the "PILOT ALERTED" message as well (if you alert the pilot).
* The planes will always be shown in flight at the same location. As the locations (origin and destination) are hardcoded in the game's files, this could be a limitation of the game.
