Needle In a Document Stack/Transcript

*[The mission starts inside a casino in Augustine, in a bar area. Joey and Charles are sitting at the bar, drinking. Chris approaches them.]*

**JOEY**: Hey, man!

*[They fist-bump.]*

**CHRIS**: Hello, Charles. I see you’re still doing your stuff on the computer.

**CHARLES**: Of course. When am I not?

**CHRIS**: I’m sure the casino can monitor that stuff.

**CHARLES**: They could if I was using their WiFi. Why do you think I’d be stupid enough to use an external internet source? I use my own private router, cannot be traced.

**CHRIS**: Shit, aight. Now. Father Time can’t track us anymore. But if I head into his lair the same way I did before, through the house, he probably set something up and would be alerted.

**JOEY**: So we go in a different route. Easy.

**CHRIS**: No, not so easy. The lair’s underground, remember? As far as I know, there’s nothing else underground near the lair that can serve as an alternate way in.

**JOEY**: Hmm, well then. Wait a minute. What about the sewers?

**CHRIS**: The sewers? Damn, I ain’t getting all smelly in there.

**JOEY**: Chris, cut it out. What’s worse: the entire city, and maybe even the world, being devoured by this evil villain, or your clothes getting a bit smelly?

**CHRIS**: Yeah, you’re right.

**JOEY**: I know I am. Charles, can you pull up a diagram of the Atlantic City sewer system map? Hopefully it runs near the lair.

**CHARLES**: Lemme see.

*[Charles starts typing on his laptop, but all of a sudden, the screen starts flashing red and beeping, and windows are popping up.]*

**CHARLES**: Damn it! Someone’s tracking me. My access is being denied.

**CHRIS**: So what should we do?

**CHARLES**: Lemme see... ha! Damn, this guy’s sloppy. He blocked my access to the documents, but I got his IP.

**JOEY**: Alright Chris, track down the IP and teach this guy a lesson.

**CHRIS**: With pleasure.

**CHARLES**: I’m sending you the IP now. You know what to do.

*[The player must exit the casino subtly without making disruption, and head to the location of the IP. The location is a large sewage and water treatment plant in East City, mainly the center building. Chris calls Joey and Charles.]*

**CHRIS**: Yo, I’m at the location. The water and sewer plant.

**JOEY**: Do you see the guy?

**CHRIS**: Nah, he’s inside.

**CHARLES**: Alright, well, infiltrate the place, get to him, and take him out. Then cancel the program running on the computer. Then I’ll have access once again.

**JOEY**: Yeah, and this time, play it stealthy. You set any of them off, the guy will probably leave and the mission’ll be busted.

**CHRIS**: Aight, chill, bruh. I got this.

*[The player must now infiltrate the building, starting from the outside water plant area and heading inside the building, up through each floor and eventually to the main control room, WITHOUT BEING SPOTTED. Once the player gets there, Chris uses his Radius Detection to see through the wall, and sees a Mercenary sitting in the room on the main computer.]*

*[Chris busts through the door, and as the Mercenary turns around and aims a gun at Chris, the player must kill the Mercenary via a Projectile, but again, must react fast or else Chris will be killed, failing the mission. Chris approaches the computer.]*

**CHRIS**: I’m in.

**JOEY**: Alright, Chris, shut down the program running on the computer. This’ll allow Charles access back into the system.

*[The player must actually X out the hacking program running on the main computer. Once they do, the player is prompted to shoot the computer screen with a Projectile once, destroying it, and then to shoot the three computer towers three times each to destroy them. We hear Mercenaries shouting from outside the room.]*

**MERCENARY**: Quick! Lock the place down! Get this fucker!

**CHRIS**: Looks like I’ve got company.

*[The player has the option to stay in the area and defeat all Mercenaries, or to escape the area. Either one will be good.]*

**CHRIS**: Alright, I think we’re good here.

**JOEY**: Good job, man! Charles is back into the system.

**CHARLES**: I’ve got access to all these documents. I’ll look through them and try to find this map. I know it exists, just have to find it.

**JOEY**: Yeah. Like trying to find a needle in a document stack!

**CHRIS**: I think you need to work on your jokes, man.

**JOEY**: Yeah, I know. I could, but the corny jokes is what makes me, well, me!

**CHRIS**: Yeah, you got that right.
