Part Two: Shut It All Down

Briefing

The Awakened have taken control of the Seer Network in First Ward. That's how they were able to take down those D.U.S.T. facilities so easily-- every Seer connected to the Network started working for them. I'm not sure how the Awakened did it, but we have to shut the local Seer Network down.

I'm not going to get all shot up again like last time, so I'll teleport in when you and 'Officer Orb' clear a safe passage to the Seer Network controls. Then we'll see if his bypass codes will let us access them.

  • Sounds like a plan, but he mentioned that the facility was full of Apparitions, too.

Yeah, I’m still trying to make that connection. Maybe the Apparitions are the ghosts of dead psychics…? But we can table all the speculation until after we shut the Seer Network down.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Why did we leave?

Mission Objective(s)

File:Map FW SEERNETWORK.png
Map: FW_SEERNETWORK

Officer Orb is waiting for you with the Seer Network access key.

  • Get Katie to the Seer Network
    • Rendezvous with Officer Orb
    • Lead Officer Orb to the Seer Network Controls
    • Destroy Apparitions
    • Speak to Katie
    • Wait for Katie to think
    • Guard the Seer Network Controls
    • Defend yourself against Katie and the Apparitions

Accompanied by Katie Douglas and Officer Orb, you shut down the Seer Network. The Awakened were using it to turn D.U.S.T.'s own Seers against them across the whole Ward. It turned out that the entire Network was infected with Apparitions. How they got inside it, and why, is still unknown, but it's obvious that Colonel Vargas (the head of D.U.S.T. special operations in First Ward) is the likeliest person to know how all of this started.

Briefing

Something is blocking my access to the Network!

  • The bypass codes were supposed to fix that.

Yeah, well no. Officer Orb's bypass codes are junk. The Awakened must have put up new security countermeasures after his team retreated.

I'll think of something else.

  • (Let Katie Think.)

Debriefing

Okay, so we should talk about how things went twenty kinds of crazy then you drew all those Apparitions to my house and all my friends got killed...but I totally don't feel like it.

But now I know what being possessed can do to someone, and it's... not cool.

Look. I'll stop calling you 'killer' from here on out. Fair? Fair. And that's about as good as its ever going to get between us, Character.
