AlexJacobson Heads up, JC. Your brother Paul is on his way to meet you at the dock. The NSF is raiding the island, and shots have been fired. I repeat: find Paul. I will monitor your situation from HQ.

AlexJacobson Not so fast, JC. Talk to your brother before leaving the dock. He has a map of the island.

JCDenton Paul! I thought you were in Hong Kong. PaulDenton Welcome to the Coalition, JC... I might as well start using your codename. Think I'd miss my brother's first day? JCDenton Didn't think you'd have a choice. What's going on? PaulDenton The NSF ── they hit one of our shipments. A few of them got away, but we trapped the rest in the Statue. JCDenton What are we waiting for? Looks like a textbook assault. PaulDenton The NSF took one of our agents hostage. The bots are holding the perimeter, but my orders are to hold back and send you in alone. I think someone high up wants to see how you handle the situation. JCDenton All I've got with me is a pistol and an electric prod. I don't mind a test, but UNATCO better issue some hardware. PaulDenton Remember that we're police. Stick with the prod. It will stun your opponents or knock them unconscious. A nonlethal takedown is always the most silent way to eliminate resistance. Just in case, though, Manderley wants you to pick an additional weapon: a sniper rifle, a GEP gun, or a minicrossbow. ┌JCDenton Never know when I might come up against │heavy armor. Give me the GEP gun. │PaulDenton The GEP gun might be useful. They │have a security bot on patrol near the Statue │entrance. JCDenton Great. What's the first move? │ ├JCDenton I like to pick 'em off from a distance. │I'll take the rifle. │PaulDenton This isn't a training exercise, JC. │Your targets will be human beings. Keep that in │mind. │JCDenton I get the idea. What's the first move? │ └JCDenton The crossbow. Sometimes you've got to ─make a silent takedown. ─PaulDenton Good thinking. With these tranquilizer ─darts, you'll have another nonlethal way to take ─down an enemy in addition to the prod.

─JCDenton I get the idea. What's the first move? PaulDenton I'm going to give you a map of the island. If you can get to the north dock, a UNATCO informant will give you a key to the Statue doors. He responds to the code─phrase "iron and copper." You could avoid a lot of fighting, though, if you found a back way into the Statue.

JCDenton I'll see how it looks onshore.

PaulDenton Your primary objective is the makeshift command center the terrorists installed at the top of the Statue, but don't forget about Agent Hermann. We think he's being held on the ground floor.

JCDenton What are my orders when I reach the command center?

PaulDenton Interrogate the leader. We don't yet know why the terrorists would risk an open assault.

JCDenton You just going to stay here?

PaulDenton There's been some activity at sea. I'm going to watch the coast.

JCDenton Why'd they bring you back to New York?

PaulDenton I don't know what they have planned. I messed up an assassination attempt on one of the Triad leaders in Hong Kong.

JCDenton UNATCO pulled you out?

PaulDenton It's a long story. You better head to the Statue.

JCDenton Which Triad was UNATCO targeting?

PaulDenton We'll talk about that later. How was your graduation?

JCDenton I want to hear what happened.

PaulDenton I wish I could have come. At the time I could have cared less that Mom and Dad came to mine, but it was a good thing. The U.N. threw a dinner in honor of me, the first nano─augmented agent.

JCDenton I didn't know that. Guess I must be old news.

PaulDenton Dad made a toast. I don't know if you remember his old brown suit...

JCDenton A toast? That doesn't sound like our father.

PaulDenton It was hard for him in front of the diplomats, but he savored every moment.

JCDenton Strange how proud he could be when so much was due to... our augmentations.

PaulDenton Yes, he was proud. I believe that much. It was nice to have done something for him and Mom. I wish someone could have been there for you.

JCDenton I'm used to being on my own.

PaulDenton One can be TOO self─sufficient, I'm coming to believe.

PaulDenton I'll keep watch on this side of the island.

PaulDenton You might be able to find some supplies in the comm van by the helipad.

PaulDenton Hard to believe this rock used to be a tourist attraction, huh?

PaulDenton Best thing is to let the bots handle the ground assault.

JCDenton What's your take on the situation, Corporal?

CorporalCollins The bots have them bottled up, sir. We'd go right in, if it weren't for the hold─back order.

JCDenton How'd they get one of our agents?

CorporalCollins Gunther went rogue on us. When the order came, he wouldn't pull back. Now you get to bail him out.

CorporalCollins Welcome aboard, Agent.

CorporalCollins If they come this way, I got 'em, sir.

CorporalCollins Well, I certainly see the family resemblance.
CorporalCollins Those rebels are no match for our bots.

AlexJacobson NSF everywhere, JC. Your orders are to shoot on sight. A UNATCO informant on the North Dock can get you inside the statue. Look for a Bum. Identify yourself with the phrase 'Iron and Copper.'

AlexJacobson If you want to make a covert approach, remember the academy stealth course: stay out of their field of view, walk slowly to stay quiet, and crouch behind cover. Or if you have to get your hands dirty, remember that a headshot is a lethal takedown.

TechSergeantKaplan Afraid base is under lockdown 'til the danger's gone, Agent Denton.

JCDenton Right. How you guys holding up?

TechSergeantKaplan UNATCO command made us pull back, I guess for Gunther's sake. What's the deal? We're ready to go in.

┌JCDenton I can't speak for command, but I'm gonna │clean the place out.

│TechSergeantKaplan I hear ya. Manderley's right: │you nano─augs are born and bred killers.

│JCDenton I do my best.

│TechSergeantKaplan Better load up. There are some │crates of ammo stashed in the antenna shaft behind │the helipad. Might also want to check out the comm │van next to it. The code's 0451.

│JCDenton Thanks. I won't let you down.

│TechSergeantKaplan My tactic, when there's no │cover like this, is to pick 'em off from fifty or │a hundred paces with a scope. What do you think? │I scored an extra one from a couple of thugs we │dropped down by the dock; you can have it for 700 │credits. I also picked up 10 mm ammo and some │crossbow tranquilizer darts ── say 200 for one and │60 for the other.

│

└JCDenton We're taking a minimum─force approach. ─We're cops, after all.

─TechSergeantKaplan Ask me, I think we should frag ─'em all. You trespass on UNATCO property, you ─get pumped full of lead.

─JCDenton When due process fails us, we really do ─live in a world of terror.

─TechSergeantKaplan Thought you nano─augs were ─supposed to be badass killing machines. Guess I ─was wrong.

─JCDenton Guess so.

─TechSergeantKaplan Some advice. You get out ─there, you're gonna have to tangle with some real ─sons─of─bitches. Best thing is to pick 'em off ─from fifty or a hundred paces with a scope. I ─scored an extra one from a couple of thugs we ─dropped down by the dock; you can have it for 700 ─credits. I also picked up 10 mm ammo and some ─crossbow darts say 200 for one and 60 for the ─other.

JCDenton Shouldn't you turn that stuff over to the quartermaster?

TechSergeantKaplan Sure, I will, but 'long as command has the rest of us on parade drills, someone might as well put this hardware to use.

┌JCDenton I'll take the scope for 700.

│┌TechSergeantKaplan Figured you were a ││sharp─shooter when I saw the rifle. Just snap ││this baby into place, and you're in business. It ││works on other guns, but if I had my choice, I'd ││scope a rifle.

│└TechSergeantKaplan Just attach this baby to your │─pistol and you're in business.

│

├JCDenton 200 for 10 mm – sounds good.

│┌TechSergeantKaplan So much for that "minimum- ││force approach."

│└TechSergeantKaplan Time to clean house.

│

├JCDenton Here’s 60 for the tranquilizer darts.

│

├JCDenton I don’t have 700 for the scope.

├JCDenton Some 10 mm ammo would be great, but I │don’t have 200.

└JCDenton Even 60 credits for the tranquilizer ─darts is more than I have.

─┌TechSergeantKaplan They don't pay me so good. I'm ─│gonna wait for someone who's got the money.

─├TechSergeantKaplan If you're gonna clean the ─│place out, you're gonna need hardware.

─└TechSergeantKaplan Guess you’ll have to go with ──that "minimum─force approach," huh?

AlexJacobson Be careful; the NSF have set up patchwork security systems here.

┌AlexJacobson The NSF put a commercial─grade │security bot in this area. You can either avoid │its patrol route or, if you're feeling lucky, try │to take it out with EMP grenades or explosives. I │wouldn't recommend taking it on with small arms.

└AlexJacobson The NSF had a commercial─grade ─security bot in this area, but one of our soldiers ─zapped its electrical system with an EMP grenade.

AlexJacobson It all happened an hour ago ── the barge docked and the NSF moved right in on it, offloading the cargo into speedboats. Our undercover man Harley Filben should be somewhere out on the docks now.

HarleyFilben About time you showed up.

JCDenton Iron and copper. The statue is copper on an iron frame, right?

HarleyFilben Password's enough, pal. Don't think you know something about the Lady I don't. My dad did tours out here.
JCDenton I heard that you can get me inside.

HarleyFilben Depends. You get your man out, take back the Statue, whatever, but I know the commander and I don't want to see him get hurt. Here's a picture so you don't make a mistake.

┌JCDenton I can't promise. In the line of duty I │may have to use force.

│HarleyFilben Buddy, I don't know. The commander's │not much of a soldier; he'll surrender right away.

│JCDenton I don't see anyone waving a white flag.

│HarleyFilben He's my main contact at the NSF. I │need him alive and out on bail, or I don't have │much of a business. You can forget the key.

│JCDenton We have an emergency here -- a terrorist │offensive on U.N. protected territory. Do you │work for UNATCO or not?

│HarleyFilben There's more than one way into the │Statue. You wanna kill rebels -- you're on your │own. Yeah -- you should sneak in from the back. │Less chance of a shootout that way.

│

└JCDenton You can trust me.

─HarleyFilben I'll take your word. Here's the key ─to the front entrance. The commander's not much ─of a soldier; he'll surrender as soon as he sees ─you. I need him alive because he's my main ─contact at the NSF. If he's dead, I don't have ─much of a business.

─JCDenton Thanks.

JCDenton You holding out for more money? What's │the deal?

│HarleyFilben Sorry. I'm not playing along this │time. But that doesn't mean I'm in love with the │NSF. I told 'em, "You bring guns into the Lady, │you're just as bad as UNATCO..."

│

JCDenton How do you know so much about the ─commander?

─HarleyFilben He's my main contact in the NSF. I ─need him alive and out on bail.

─JCDenton UNATCO will probably keep him in custody.

─HarleyFilben At least he has a chance if he's ─alive. I warned him, you know. I said right to ─his face, "Don't take weapons into the Lady. That ─makes you as bad as UNATCO."

JCDenton Don't forget that it was the NSF that C─4'ed the Statue in the first place. UNATCO's here to put the pieces back together.

HarleyFilben Ask me, I think the government did it. They want people to think the NSF are terrorists.

HarleyFilben None of these guys is like my best pal, but who wants to see a bunch of dead bodies, right?

HarleyFilben I'll come through next time. Don't worry.

AlexJacobson This power box must have been damaged in the raid. Don't cross through the arcs. I'm also picking up an EMP field here...if you're not careful it'll suck away your bioelectrical energy.

AlexJacobson Good thinking; you might be able to avoid some of the security by entering this way.

AlexJacobson I think Gunther is being held beyond this laser triggered alarm. If you don't want to set off the alarm, you can either hack the control panel in the doorway or find a way around... My blueprint of the Statue shows a few airshafts.

AlexJacobson This security setup is strictly amateur stuff -- keep an eye out for ways to bypass it. These old pre─millenial buildings are riddled with ventilation shafts and maintenance tunnels.

AlexJacobson Gunther's in that room. One of our top agents.

GuntherHermann Agent! Open the door.

GuntherHermann Get me a weapon.

GuntherHermann I am ready to counterattack.

GuntherHermann They had us surrounded. I was forced to surrender.

GuntherHermann Now everyone will see why I need a skull─gun.

GuntherHermann The rebels will soon wish they had killed me.

JCDenton Glad you're not hurt, Agent.

GuntherHermann Command should not have left us to be surrounded.

JCDenton Risk is part of the job. I think you lucked out this time.

GuntherHermann Agent Navarre and I were ready to go in, but for no reason they said pull back. I do not retreat. Please give me a weapon and move out of the way.

┌JCDenton First thing is to get you out of here. │I'll handle the enemy.

│GuntherHermann Excuse that I have forgotten your │brother Paul Denton and the infinite power of │nano─augmentation.

│JCDenton I just can't spare any arms. Please │retreat to a safe location.

│GuntherHermann Go ahead. Advance up the stairs to │the command center at the top. I will take my │rusty metal bones and sweep away into the junk │pile.

│

JCDenton Wish I could help, but I'm not very well │armed myself.

│GuntherHermann Then we will find weapons. I will │secure this level. You proceed up the stairs to │the command center at the top.

│

├JCDenton As you wish. Take my knife.

├JCDenton As you wish. Take my pistol.

├JCDenton As you wish. Take my stealth pistol.

└JCDenton As you wish. Take my assault gun.

─GuntherHermann That will be adequate. I will ─secure this level. You proceed up the stairs to ─the command center at the top.

┌GuntherHermann I will clean out the lower level.

│GuntherHermann You go after the leader.

│GuntherHermann A recruit is very valuable when he │can operate in a team.

│

GuntherHermann Now I see the reason for the pull-─back. They wanted to show off their new ─nanoaugmentation technology.

─GuntherHermann Go ahead. Put on a show for the ─bureaucrats.

─GuntherHermann I will not interfere with your ─demonstration.

─GuntherHermann Enjoy yourself. Soon they will be ─tired of their new toy.

AlexJacobson A shame, isn't it? The French terrorist group Silhouette claims that France was wrong to give the U.S. the Statue. We think they planned the bombing.

Amos Did they find the shipment?

Jackson Yeah, we got the whole supply. You can see the ship's lights crossing the bay.

Amos Guess y'all were right. So why aren't we pulling out?

Jackson Mike's on the horn. JoJo wants a lead on the distribution network.

Amos Hell, we don't have enough men to protect what we've got.

Jackson That's what JoJo wants.

Amos I wonder. How's a guy with a tattooed forehead get to be an NSF colonel? Pardon me, but back in Alabama we wouldn't let a man who wears earrings plan a military operation.

Jackson I'd watch what I say about JoJo. He's got a temper.

Amos He's a punk and he's gonna get us all killed.

Jackson The NSF is strong because it represents everyone's interests.

Amos Yeah, yeah

Terrorist1 Let's get out of here.

Terrorist2 I'm standing my ground.

┌Terrorist1 Someone tripped the alarm downstairs. │They're closing in.

├Terrorist1 They sprung Hermann. We don't stand a │chance against a mech.

└Terrorist1 The troops pulled back; they must be ─sending agents.

Terrorist2 This is it, Private. We knew it might come to this.
Terrorist1 What good are we to the NSF if we end up dead?

Terrorist2 If UNATCO breached the perimeter, then it's already too late. Get ready to fight.

Terrorist3 That's the difference right there. Just take a look at him.

Terrorist4 Bad?

Terrorist3 They cut off his arm, replaced half of his face.

Terrorist4 Hermann, right? He's a good soldier. Killed three of our men.

Terrorist3 They'd've replaced his whole body if it would've improved performance. If that's how you judge a man -- by performance -- then eventually it's not about people but upgrades, versions, functionality...

Terrorist4 All I know is we could use a few mechs for ops like this.

Terrorist3 Soon as we buy into the cult of the machine we're just like them.

Terrorist4 Rhetoric, always more rhetoric.

┌AlexJacobson Good. You're nearing the command │center. Agent Hermann remains in captivity on the │ground floor, but we can probably get him out. │Keep moving.

└AlexJacobson Gunther has reestablished contact. ─He says you helped him escape. Good work.

AlexJacobson Some news, JC. The NSF targeted a shipment of the plague vaccine, Ambrosia. We can't locate it. See if the leader will surrender when you reach the command post. We'd like to interrogate him.

TerroristCommander Don't shoot! I surrender!

JCDenton So you think you know better than FEMA what to do with this month's Ambrosia shipment...

TerroristCommander You're too late. It's on its way back to the people, and you can't do a damn thing about it.

┌JCDenton Except send YOU back to the people -- in │a body bag.

│TerroristCommander I AM the people.

¦Attacks player.

│

JCDenton Tell me about the shipment and I'll order ─the troops to pick you up as a prisoner instead of ─a corpse.

─TerroristCommander Ask away. We already won this ─round.

─JCDenton Where are you taking it?

─TerroristCommander We're just giving ordinary ─people the same chance to survive as the ─bureaucrats in Washington.

─JCDenton You'll have to unload in New York because ─the choppers would spot you at sea.

─TerroristCommander I think the government made the ─plague on purpose to get rid of population growth.

-JCDenton Just answer the question.

─TerroristCommander Don't believe me? It's all in ─the numbers. For a hundred years, there's been a ─conspiracy of plutocrats against ordinary people.

─JCDenton Do you have a single fact to back that up

─TerroristCommander Number one: In 1945 ─corporations paid 50 percent of federal taxes. ─Now they pay about 5 percent. Number two: In ─1900 90 percent of Americans were self─employed; ─now it's about two percent.

─JCDenton So?

─TerroristCommander It's called consolidation. ─Strengthen governments and corporations, weaken ─individuals. With taxes, this can be done ─imperceptibly over time.

-JCDenton I guarantee you that the interrogation ─staff at UNATCO will not be as forbearing as I am.

─TerroristCommander Yeah, the secret police. ─You're just bullies for a completely illegitimate ─government in Washington.

─JCDenton We will locate that shipment one way or ─another.

─TerroristCommander The entire executive branch is ─hand─picked. Nineteen of the last twenty─three ─U.S. presidents have been members of the ─Trilateral Commission. The Trilateral Commission ─is financed by the Rockefellers and the ─Rothschilds. Don't tell me -

─JCDenton That's a think-tank. Anyone can become a ─member.

─TerroristCommander But not everyone does. That's ─why they call it the "secret government."

─TerroristCommander UNATCO teaches teenagers to ─fight when it still seems like a game, and -- look ─at you! -- you're a killing machine!

─TerroristCommander Who's the scary one, huh? Me ─or you?

─TerroristCommander Do you ever ask what it's for? ─The surveillance, the police, the shoot─on─sight ─laws? Is that freedom?
─TerroristCommander You can't fight ideas with ─bullets.

─TerroristCommander The more of us you kill, the ─more that seccessionism lives in the hearts of the ─people.

─TerroristCommander Ever wonder why big car ─companies pay two percent tax while the guys on ─the assembly line pay forty?

─TerroristCommander Corporations are so big you ─don't even know who you're working for. That's ─terror. Terror built into the system.

AlexJacobson That might have been over the line, │JC. I don't know... Better head back to base on │the west side of the island. Objective complete.

└AlexJacobson Well done. I will pass on your ─orders to the troopers. Report back to base on the ─west side of the island. Mission complete.

│JCDenton Clear, sir.

JosephManderley Don't despise training, my boy. Even you would be worthless without the shaping touch of drills and studies.

JCDenton So the NSF took a shipment of the Ambrosia vaccine? Give me a chopper and a pilot and I'll handle it.

JosephManderley I'm sure you could! Yes indeed! But we're having your brother head up the recovery team. You'll work with Agent Anna Navarre. Why don't we meet when you've seen Jaime for a medical checkup and received your equipment from Sam Carter? You'll be briefed at that time.

SamCarter I'm not a general anymore. Just call me Carter.

JCDenton I can't believe what the NSF did to your family.

SamCarter Enough of that, soldier. We each have our troubles. I lost my children, but you've had to grow up without your parents. Which requires more courage? I don't think it matters.

JCDenton My parents died in a car accident. That's different.

JCDenton You look like the real thing. They actually let you operate on people?

JaimeReyes They actually let you point a gun at people?

JCDenton We'll have to catch up later. I've got to leave for New York right away. Could you send Manderley whatever it is he wants?

JaimeReyes No problem. Listen, JC -- about your augmentations. You know they're preparing to roll out the technology worldwide, right?

JCDenton As long as I don't turn green and grow a pair of antennas, as I understand it.

JaimeReyes Yeah, well, the design's pretty modular, which means you'll soon have access to upgrades from standard "augmentation canisters."

┌JCDenton I think I picked up one of those at the │top of the Statue.

│JaimeReyes Maybe you did. My order from Versalife │was on the ship the NSF captured. You'll need to │take it to one of the medbots for installation.

│

└JCDenton Great. Have anything for me?

─JaimeReyes Not yet. But remember if you find one ─of these canisters that you need a medbot for ─installation.

JCDenton I'll do that.

JaimeReyes The canisters contain a colloid of ROM modules. Some are generic upgrades; others require you to make permanent choices about how to configure one of your subsystems.

JCDenton It's about time they implemented some of this stuff.

│┌JaimeReyes Have you met your partner yet -- Anna ││Navarre? I think --she and Gunther are upstairs ││in the break room.

││JCDenton Haven’t run into her.

││JaimeReyes A real piece of work. Maybe you ││should compare notes before the operation. You ││never know -- she might go easier on you.

││JCDenton Sure, maybe I'll introduce myself.

││JaimeReyes Then report to Manderley. He told me ││to send you back to him on the double.

││

¦└JaimeReyes Report to Manderley. He told me to │─send you back to him on the double.

JCDenton One more thing before I go, since you've been briefed on my augmentations. What can you tell me about the Infolink

JaimeReyes Let's see... microreceiver exostructure in the sulci, mechano─carbon threads on the axons... for queuing, you know, packet routing.... Anything particularly interest you?

JCDenton Is there a way to turn it off?

JaimeReyes The Infolink?

JCDenton Yeah, or is someone at UNATCO tuned in 24 hours?

JaimeReyes This might sound a little funny, JC, but I'm not permitted to answer that question.

JCDenton Your clearance is higher than mine?

JaimeReyes Regarding your systems. I AM your physician.

JCDenton No big deal. I was just curious.

JaimeReyes You better head out.

JaimeReyes I think there's a medkit in the storage closet.

JaimeReyes I think they're waiting for you at the dock, JC.

JaimeReyes Carter’s out the door and round the corner. He’s got your stealth pistol.

JaimeReyes I wouldn't keep Manderley waiting if I were you. His office is on Level Two.

AlexJacobson Getting colder.

AlexJacobson You're getting warm.

AlexJacobson You're red hot. Looks like you found me.

AlexJacobson Like leading a mouse to cheese.

JCDenton This thing is starting to give me a headache.

AlexJacobson Don't worry. We shut it down when you go off-duty.

JCDenton I suppose you already know who I am.

AlexJacobson Getting there. You're certainly quicker on the up-take than your brother Paul ever was.

JCDenton Thanks.

AlexJacobson You're late for your medical exam. See Reyes on Level Three.

AlexJacobson Better arm yourself, JC. See Carter on Level Three for your stealth pistol.

AlexJacobson Go to Manderley's office on Level Two for a briefing. Your brother Paul is there.

AnnaNavarre Are you sure you pressed the right button?

GuntherHermann I do not make mistakes of that kind.

AnnaNavarre Your hand might have slipped.

GuntherHermann No. I wanted orange. It gave me lemon─lime.

AnnaNavarre The machine would not make a mistake...

GuntherHermann It's the maintenance man. He knows I like orange.

AnnaNavarre So you think the staff has some kind of plot...
GuntherHermann Yes. They do it on purpose.

AnnaNavarre My new partner, JC Denton. Don't tell me you're going to wear those sunglasses during a night operation.

JCDenton My vision is augmented.

┌GuntherHermann At least it is a way that we know │when it's not Paul.

└GuntherHermann Better to look good than to have ─distractions of another agent who needs backup.

┌JCDenton Forgive my interruption. I just wanted ¦to say that I look forward to working with you, ¦Agent Navarre. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got ¦to get to the boat dock.

JCDenton Forgive my interruption. I just wanted │to say that I look forward to working with you, │Agent Navarre. Could you tell me how to find Sam │Carter's office?

├JCDenton Forgive my interruption. I just wanted │to say that I look forward to working with you, │Agent Navarre. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got │to be briefed by Mr. Manderley.

└JCDenton Forgive my interruption. I just wanted ─to say that I look forward to working with you, ─Agent Navarre. Could you tell me how to └find ─Jaime's office?

AnnaNavarre I do not expect you to perform as well as Agent Hermann, but the mission will require us to do more than frighten the NSF with our baggy coats that make us look bigger than we really are.

JCDenton I am prepared to perform my duties.

─┌GuntherHermann For instance, not to be a man ┌┤running into enemy lines without coordinated ││military assault.

│└GuntherHermann For instance, not to wipe out the │─enemy and then leave agents still captured in a │─locked cell.

│JCDenton No problem.

│

└GuntherHermann He will not be the equivalent of ─his brother. I have seen that he knows the ─procedure of a good offensive.

─AnnaNavarre Let us hope you are right.

─JCDenton I won't let you down, Agent.

JosephManderley Yes, get moving. Here's your op bonus for the great job you did in the Statue, plus 250 for rescuing Agent Hermann. That's 1250. We take care of our people around here.

JosephManderley Yes, get moving. Here's your op bonus for your work in the Statue. I'm docking you 200 for killing the commander against my orders, but you get a bonus of 250 for rescuing Agent Hermann. The total is 1050. Obey orders next time.

JosephManderley Yes, get moving. Here's your op bonus for the great job you did in the Statue, 1000 credits. We take care of our people around here. The bonus for rescuing Agent Hermann goes to one of the troopers, though. I'm sure you understand.

JosephManderley Yes, get moving. Here's your op bonus for your work in the Statue. I'm docking you 200 for killing the commander against my orders, so that leaves you with 800. Obey orders next time. The bonus for rescuing Agent Hermann goes to one of the troopers.

Scott Wish I was going with ya.

PrivateLloyd Good luck out there. Man, two Dentons in the field. The NSF won't know what hit them.

Postmissiontroops Good luck, Agent.

Postmissiontroops Hit'em hard, sir.

Postmissiontroops Take care, sir.

Postmissiontroops Be careful, Agent ─ the city's an NSF hotbed.

Postmissiontroops Good luck with Agent Navarre. She's a handful.
