0 A milk run


A milk run. Not much to say.It's an introduction to the rest of the adventure. As soon as u get the file in matrix u need to escape the building without dying. The 3 guyz with you should die during the run

1 Debriefing in parking
Intermede scene. U form an alliance with Linda Green. u will go to your appartement to get her civilian clothes before heading to Seamstress union

2 Your Hideout
Time to make money and get some equipement. If you are a decker there is a small run in matrix to get 10k nYens. Don't hesitate to borrow money to Mrs Kubota because there will be a small adventure at the end to pay her back the money.
Only choice after this scene: go to seamstress union


3 Seamstress union
U go there to get clues about your Johnson and/or the Trolls in the Shiawase facility. A Troll got the same idea and attacked Coyote to get info about you. He dies but u find a picture with an adress in barrens on it. The corpse of the Troll is sent at a mortuary and Green asked the coroner to tell u if somebody comes to claim the body.

4 Your Hideout
Now is the good moment to hire 2 runners. U will need a decker. there is a message on the phone from the coroner. Someone came to claim the body ...
U have 2 choices: go to barrens or to mortuary. If u don't go now to the mortuary u will arrive too late and the coroner will be dead, ( it's not a problem just a different scene)

5 Mortuary
Not much action on this scene. If u go there directly after receiving the phone call u will find Mc Klusky trying to steal the body for Dr Schwartzman. That gives you a lead to a clinic with suspicious activities. U can go to barrens, clinic or your appartement after visiting the mortuary (if u didn't visited barrens or clinic)
If u go there after visting barrens u will just find the coroner dead with some lonestar investigating

6 Barrens-Troll hunt

The first real action scene.
-U need first to talk to 3 guys in the street in any order to find clues on the troll on the picture u found in Seamstress Union. After talking to the 3rd A sinless will come to you and show u the location of a shaman that has the power locate anybody.
-On the way to the shaman, 2 optional encounters.Some punks harassing a girl and the little red hood that can't go home because of wolves....
-The shaman tells you the Troll on the picture is in the west part of the area near 2 ruined houses. A van is blocking the way with some dwarfs. If you are strong enough u just push the van on side, if not u will have to fight them. When last dwarf dies he drops a key and u can move the van out of the way.
- When u find the Troll (SW part of the map) u need to shoot him until he stops fighting. When all his teammates are dead u can talk to him.

Dialog is not the same if u visited clinic before going to barrens
If u came to barrens first u will have a lead to the clinic of Dr Schwartzman
If u visited Schwartzman's clinic he will tell his sergent the truth about Schwartzman

After barrens u can go directly to Schwartzman's clinic if u haven't already been there or to your appartement


7 Schwartman's clinic
Decker needed

1) floor0: Schwartzman is in basement. u can fight your way after talking with the receptionist ot be more subtil. anyway when u arrive at basement's door a voice in speaker order the guards to attack you....looks like the same voice than your Johnson's one....
kill the guards but the door is locked. There a computer not far from the locked gate. U need to enter the matrix, unlock the basement door and find the files on Shwartzman. U can unlock the leader office door too in matrix, inside the room is a safe with 10k nY If go to basement without the files mission will be a failure

2) floor-1, basement
U were right about the voice on the speaker, Schwartzman is the Johnson that hired you. To resume he swindled money out of the Trolls and hired you to help make the story true. he hoped u would kill each other too.

U can choose any option he will manage to escape trough the tunnel. U need to talk to linda Green. After talking with her, a timer is starting. U have 4 rounds to go out.
[uu]U zone to your hideout after clinic[/u]

optionnal; free the girl in jail. U need to click the locked door to shoot the lock !! there are clothes in the cell in front of her.


Your Hideout

U will need to visit the barrens, the clinic and the mortuary to get next scene.
U will get a phone call from the Troll sergent. Schwartzman is cleaning out the mess and the Trolls need your help.

8 Trolls Hideout
Big fighting scene. U need to fight the Ares mercenaries. The goal is to talk to Sergent at other side of the map.
There is a discussion trigger on the computer to kill all ares mercenaries left on map in case u forgot one at other side of the map. (officially it is: u hear a message on radio ordering ares solders to retreat)
When they are all dead u can talk to the sergent. At the end of the dicussion u go back to your hideout. he can't help you much to get Schwartzman but Linda Green tell the player and the Sergent it's over because Lonestar will handle this....of course it's not true !!!


9 Your Hideout

U get news from Linda Green after few days. She found Schwartzman but Lonestar has hands tied because he's on ares territory. Guess who's supposed to get him ?


10 Ares Docks - Preventing Schwartzman's escape

U need to get Schwartzman alive if possible but he can die. If u down his HP enough he will start talking and order his bodyguards to stop fighting. U can get 100k nY during conversation if u choose the good option.

After u get Schwartzman alive or not , some Ares soldiers arrive with 3 helicopters.

U need to go back to the helicopter and exit alive


11 Debriefing in your hideout

If Schwartzman is dead the adventure is ending. There is an option in dialogue to continue as if he was captured in order to continue the game without having to replay the Ares docks scene.

If Schwartzman was delivered to Lonestar u get a phonecall from Linda Green. She's not pleased with the outcome of her investigation. Her superiors put her on side while Schwartzman made a deal with them in order to frame Ares. She 's asking you to come in her office with some runners to kill Schwartzman. The sergent will come with you and u need to hire A 4th man (a decker if u have no decking skills)

12 Lonestar building
Decker needed
This scene is a matrix run. U need to prepare the assault on Schwartzman. To do this u need to hack all matrix nodes on the map. If u jack out without completing the goals the mission will be a failure.

13 Hit and Run - killing Schwartzman

The objective is simple. Kill Schwartzman. After he dies u will have to launch a smoke grenade by clicking on the objective on map to call for the antigrav. 2 rounds after doing so the exit will appear on the north side of the map. No need to kill everybody on the scene

14 Your hideout again. It could be the end but u forgot to pay back the money u borrowed to Mrs Kubota !!!

Kluwe is interrupting your 2 weeks with green at your hideout. Kubota will ask u to do a job to pay back the money u owe her

15 Seamstress Union

Kubota is asking you to help a guy that lost her daughter. The guy, Mr Zane,is working for Agrex Internationals. The daughter is an ork and the corp is anti-metahuman. He has been hiding her for years in his appartement and she disapperared few days ago. he suspects his boss , Mr Bates a polyclub humanis member to be behind this and asked you, (between the lines) to kill him.

16 Downtown Seattle - Agrex Internationals area

No hard part here. When u approach the gate, the guards open the door to attack Green because she's a cute elf. When they all die u can zone in Agrex building.

17 Agrex Internationals appartements

There are 3 levels on this map. Basement, 8th floor and 10th floor.

8th floor Zane's appartement. U can find in Lisa Zane computer some interresting info. if u have a decker in team u will learn that the guy that hired u to find his daughter tried to kill her several times....yeah i know, never trust a Johnson too.... There is an optionnal part with the neighboor but he has nothing to do with her kidnapping.

10th floor Bates appartement. 2 tough bodyguards there. The dead body of the girl is in the bathroom and tons of humanis polyclub flyers lie in the appartement.
U can talk with Bates after u find the corpse. If u discovered that Lisa Zane's father tried to kill her u can suspect that Bates is innocent and let him live. In fact the father killed the girl but didn't wanted the mother to know the truth. He is member of polyclub humanis and not Bates.

U can kill Bates or not. If u let him live u will discover that Zane and Security guards are doing strange business in parking at night (with metahumans prisonners)

Some reinforcements arrive when u leave 10th floor.


18 Seamstress union - Debriefing with the father of the ork girl

U can kill the guy or not depending on what u discovered. The results of your last runs make u sink into alcohol at Cherry's bar while Green is trying to cheer your moral up. While u pass out, she gets the good idea to help the metahumans kidnapped by the polyclub humanis members.



19 Polyclub Humanis Hotel (or Arena !!)

Linda Green got the good idea to spy the parking of Agrex with you sleeping on back seat and u finish in jail.

They force you to fight in an arena. U have to fight 10 ghouls barehanded. If u kill them u get a troll with awesome stats coming in arena....

The goal of the scene is not to win....The other prisonners will come help you when your life or Green's life drop behind 25 or 30hp. They have Docwagon kits in case u fell down.

One girl manages to take the control of one guard. The other will drop a key when u kill him.

With this key u can exit the area. Near exit u will meet the boss of the polyclub humanis. If u're talkative u will learn u have a cortex bomb in your head. U need to take it out before exiting the scene or the mission will fail.

19 Seamstress Union - The end

The end. The moral of the story is : "Don't drink too much if u don't want to wake up without your pants in jail with a Troll ! I know u can anwer me that after that u will be ready to deal with any Johnson....
