**Britannia** is the final quest of *We Happy Few's* first act. It takes place in the Parade District and begins right after completing A Malpractice of Doctors.

## Objectives

* Go downstairs to Apple Holm Station
* Head down to the platform
* Find a way across the blockade
* Go down in the Motilene mine
* Power up the machine
* Escape the Motilene mine
* Escape Wellington Wells

## In-Game Description

All aboard the Great Western for Chippenham, Swindon, Newbury, Reading and London Paddington Station!

Hopefully it won't have been colonized by large mutant rats.

Of course they mined right under the train tracks. Of course they did.

At least it won't be raining.

I think I can cross that gap if I can get that machine going.

Well, this is it. The light at the end of the tunnel. I've just one bridge to cross and then I'm out of Wellington Wells.

Just a stroll across the tracks and I'm free as a bird.

Oh, and I can find Percy, and take care of him like I promised.

## Walkthrough

Arthur makes his way to the Broadcast Tower, telling the Bobby that the gate has been un-quarantined, granting him access. This will complete the Letter of Transit quest.

The player must make their way inside the lobby and towards the station door. Attempting to enter through the door will prompt a message, warning that this is a point of no return.

After entering, the player must pass an inactive Downer Detector booth, and deal with the two Bobbies on the right side; they can easily be dispatched quietly. There is also a Fire Extinguisher that can be picked up for later.

The player must then scale some scaffolding and crawl underneath a broken set of tunnel filled with broken Motilene pipes. Near the end of the tunnel lies the deceased Prudence Holmes. Exiting the tunnel will lead to a giant Motilene Mine.

The player will have to be careful when going up the platform, as there is gas that turns on and off periodically. If the player is caught in the blast, they'll fly off to the edge of the tunnel and fall into the abyss, killing them as they fall.

It is recommended to just jump up to the platform and avoid the gas pipe altogether.

Travelling deeper into the mine, Arthur encounters Jim Watt, the Chief Engineer of the mine. Jim then gives him the keycard needed to take out the "activator". Entering the control room and activate the excavator; this will create an escape route for Arthur, however, it will also alert everyone in the mine and make them hostile. After reaching the exit, an explosion knocks Arthur out.

Walking through the abandoned security checkpoint and reaching the closed metal door will complete Arthur's playthrough, unlocking Act II: Sally.

## Transcript

### **Entering The Tower**

Open/Close

Bobby: I'm sorry sir, the Broadcast Tower has been quarantined.

Arthur: I think if you examine the gate, you'll see that it's been unquarantined.

Bobby: Oh! So it has. Well, then. I'll just bugger off, shan't I? Enjoy your visit.

### **Bobbies 1**

Open/Close

Jeremy: Took a V-meat sandwich off a Downer this morning.

Patrick: How on Earth did a Downer get V-meat?

Jeremy: I haven't the foggiest, but I'll tell you, it was the best meal I've had in days.

Patrick: I'll imagine.

Jeremy: Sandwich wasn't bad either.

Patrick: Sandwich wasn't bad either, hah hah! You're a wit!

### **Workers**

Open/Close

Worker 1: Look at that one! It's almost in the shape of a camel.

Worker 2: By God, it does look like a camel.

Worker 1: Or a weasel.

Worker 2: It has a back like a weasel's.

Worker 1: Or like a whale.

Worker 2: It's very like a whale.

Worker 1: I wonder if you can do this with clouds?

Worker 2: Don't even joke about that! The sky would fall on us!

### **Bobbies 2**

Open/Close

Bobby 1: You know where I'm going on holiday? Spain!

Bobby 2: I've not been to Spain. Except Gibraltar, once.

Bobby 1: Next holiday. Maybe after Christmas. Wouldn't want to miss Christmas.

Bobby 2: Oh, no, with the turkey and the roast beef...

Bobby 1: And the fruit cake and the wassail.

Bobby 2: Ahhhh, wassail.

Bobby 1: Everything goes better with wassail.

Bobby 2: Do you think we'll ever get out of here?

Bobby 1: Oh, there you go spoiling it. And we was having so much fun.

Bobby 2: Sorry. I can only suspend my disbelief so long.

Bobby 1: A word to the wise, Constable. Sincerity is the most important thing. The better you can fake that, the better you'll do in life.

### **The End of Our Time**

Open/Close

Peters: Mr. Hastings. Just when I'd given up all hope of seeing an engineer.

Peters: You know, sir. We've come to the end of our time.

Peters: Some of us can't run. Some of us stand by our post. Some of us take care of our brother.

Arthur: My brother? What are you saying?

Peters: All men is brother, sir.

Arthur: Right. Of course.

Peters: Damn thing's so itchy.

Peters: It's times like these what try men's souls, sir. They try men's souls.

Arthur: I ... know you.

(speaker) Please keep your hands inside the train. It's very dangerous...

Peters: You must get back on the train.

Percy: ARTHUR! WHERE DID YOU GO? ARTHUR!

Peters: You must get back on board.

Young Arthur: No, I'm... just here to take my brother to the train.

Peters: Mr. Percival Hastings...

Young Arthur: Th-that's me. Percy. People call me Percy.

Peters: Someone has written on this card that you are a bit dim... and you can't be roaming about on your own.

Peters: You don't seem dim.

Young Arthur: Right, well... Mum thinks I can't... Mum thinks I can't... Mum thinks I can't take care of myself. But I can.

Percy: ARTHUR! ARTHUR! ARTHUR! ARTHUR!

Young Arthur: To tell the truth ... I really did want to go to Germany. With my brother, Arthur. See, we'd sort of take care of each other. So I tried to sneak on. But then Arthur said no, we have to follow the rules.

Peters: Is that so?

Young Arthur: I'll just run along home. Mum's probably worried sick.

Young Arthur: Can I go?

Peters: This is a day we may all come to regret, Mr. Hastings. But I am not gonna put one more child on that train than my duty obligates me to do.

Percy: NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

Peters: Run along, then!

Young Arthur: Percy...

Peters: Sir? Are you alright?

Arthur: I'll best be... on my way.

Arthur: I did something... terrible.

Peters: We have all done things we regret, sir. Some of them we regretted as we done'em. Some of them never quite go away.

Arthur: I told him we'd go to Germany together. I told him I'd hold our passports, and then I walked off the train - with his passport! ... He didn't know how to talk to anyone but me. ... I can't make it up to him now, can I?

Peters: No, sir. I imagine you cannot.

Arthur: Then who is there to forgive me?

Peters: Some try to forget.

Arthur: I can't do that Not any more.

Peters: I suppose you must treat it as a gift. To know who you are.

Peters: Without that, there's no hope for wisdom.

Arthur: I wish I still believed in ... some sort of mercy.

Peters: Life goes on. That is the mercy.

Peters: Come on, sir. Once you're out there, you'll know what to do.
