You've been tasked with assisting Vitamin's Freedomers to take the Warlab for Freedom.

## Walkthrough

### Escort

After talking to Vitamin in Lukash's headquarters, head to Radar via the Barrier. Vitamin will be waiting immediadely at the location entrance with his squad. Talk to him and start heading up the road.

Try not to go too far from the squad, since they will simply stop moving until you get close enough to them again. Guide them up the road, which will generally have fewer enemies than the forest unless it has been recently cleared of enemies.

Once near the entrance to the lab, Vitamin will have some new dialogue.

### Laboratory

Enter the lab along with the Freedomers, and they'll clear it out from its wild dog infestation. Once Vitamin reaches the break room, speak to him for your reward.

### Extra stash from Cyclops

After finishing the mission, you receive a message from Cyclops, calling you for a talk in Undiscovered Land. When you arrive, he gives you one of his oracle riddles:

> There's a cache on the tree next to that one,
>
>
>
> Where a service was carried out once.
>
> Nearby the wagons lay empty
>
> Rested on the tracks stalled
>
> And the whole area is full of hills there,
>
>
>
>
> Where Geiger counter squeals like crazy.
>
>

This corresponds to the particular place in the Dump on the tree near the hangar, containing a coat with extreme Psi resistance.

### Klyonov talk

After finishing the quest, the teleports blocking the "secret" section of the lab will shut down. The "secret" part is accessible by a trick jump in one of the elevator shafts. Enter it and speak to Bum, a scientist in the room with the brain, then with Klyonov in the back room.

Klyonov turns out to be a rogue C-Consciousness scientist, so of course you ask him about the missing girl who is supposed to be a daughter of someone from C-Con. He tells you that she's no daughter of anyone, but the scientists somehow trust her. The girl managed to steal a unique artifact from C-Consciousness, and everybody's looking for her now.

You also ask him about whether he knows anything about the shards of the Monolith that Panther is looking for. Klyonov why your PDA had a note named Kill the Strelok on it, after your Death Truck crashed. It was actually a message for you to return the Poltergeist's Heart back to C-Consciousness. It's the only shard known to him. However, if there's really three shards in existence, then by combining three you can create a mega-absolute with exceedingly powerful properties. The missing girl probably stole the second one.

After finding out that Vitya the Hologram is still alive and is living in the infirmary at Undiscovered Land, Klyonov asks you to bring him into Warlab, to work as his assistant again. With his help, he might be able to recreate another Poltergeist's Heart. This leads to Accompaniment, part 2.

## Notes

* You lead 11 Freedomers into the lab, but enter it with 20 Freedomers. Magic!

## Bugs

* Vitamin's dialogue outside of the lab seems to imply that it's your job to clear the dog infestation while he waits for the second half of the Freedom squad, but the Freedom squad will spawn in as soon as you enter the lab and clear it out with or without your help. It's unclear whether this is a bug or simply misleading dialogue.
