Operation: Deep Dive

**Operation: Deep Dive** is the third mission in *I Expect You To Die*.

Underwater, under pressure.

## Synopsis

The Handler's briefing of the mission is as follows:

> Your next mission will take you to the beautiful Caribbean- but this is no vacation. I already told you we can't afford that. You'll need to destroy Zor's top-secret submarine, but don't count on using an escape pod. We find those things at the bottom of the ocean all the time. The people inside are usually pretty dead.
>
>

The player will then spawn inside the escape pod. The player's objective is to make it to the surface while keeping the escape pod as stable as possible.

## Walkthrough

There are many ways to start off your tasks, so don't feel obligated to do these in perfect order. Reach up to the green valve and spin it until the water stops running. Then, open the top drawer to your right and grab the sealant gun. Wait a few seconds for the glass of the windows to crack, reach over, and seal the cracks. This only happens twice, so watch for a second window crack before putting the sealant down. This task has been finished. Then, reach into the top drawer again and grab the screwdriver. Unscrew the water pump lid and grab the green lever underneath the water pump. Put it in place and pump it until the A.I. mentions that the escape pod has been drained. This task has been finished. Now, look to your left and grab the flare gun. Use it to bash open the fire extinguisher. This can also be done with the sealant. Avoid firing the flare gun, but if you do by accident, there is another flare gun in the bottom right drawer with grenades. Put your glass-breaking weapon of choice down. Grab the pin from the fire extinguisher, then reach to the door next to the engine and open it. Grab the grenade and insert the pin. You can drop the grenade now. Next, take the cap off the engine and spin the fuel pipe around to meet the hole and turn the valve to fill up the engine until no more fuel comes out. This task is done. Reach into the lunchbox and grab the bottlecap opener. Very far to your right, there should be a knob sticking out of the wall with no valve. Place the bottlecap opener onto the knob and spin it until your cabin hisses. This task is done.

Pull the ascend lever and arm yourself with the sealant gun and fire extinguisher. The pipes to the player's top right will start bursting, so prepare to seal those off quick. The voice over the intercom will also glitch and electrical sound effects will play before the front panel explodes. You can extinguish the fire with the fire extinguisher (You can also put out the fire by closing the oxygen valve for a few seconds and cause the fire to suffocate, just make sure you open the oxygen valve back up after the fire has been put out). After that, you may drop the fire extinguisher, you will not need it anymore. A third window will crack, and you'll need to seal that, but no other widows will crack after. The voice will say that the engine is overheating- just turn the green valve that originally stopped the water from flowing in briefly before closing it again. Do not panic when the voice says they're venting oxygen, nothing bad will happen. Wait a few seconds and a light will start flashing with the self-destruct code coming up on the dash. The self-destruct code is 7Q, 2Z, 5Q, 3Q, 8Z. After inputting that, your escape pod will surface and you can open the hatch above you and shoot a flare out to call Support Agent to your location.

## Debriefing

The Handler's debriefing is as follows:
