Yesterday, I played some more, and the game keeps pleasantly surprising me. It seems that by killing Navarre I have opened a new story path. First, I ran around UNATCO HQ. I found Reyes as Manderley's secretary asked me, he was talking to Walton Simons. As if his hideous face wasn't already a dead giveaway, Simons admitted he had augmentations like me. In the talk with Reyes, they were discussing about whether batteries should always be 100% charged... Reyes said they shouldn't, that it was like normal batteries which would get weaker if they kept getting recharged while they were still almost full. Maybe a hint for my eventual showdown with Simons? We'll see... Anyway, Simons also said that UNATCO was going to be overhauled, and that's why he was here. He said he wasn't after me, but someone higher up. Probably Manderley... There's nobody else I can think of.



Then I met that woman who was butthurt that I went into the ladies' bathroom getting all wet over some grunt's story about how he carried the last mission and stuff. All the while the guy who actually carried the mission was in front of them. The audacity! Well, all the more proof that people who don't like me are idiots! Then, I talked to Jacobson, the computer guy. Although he didn't outright support it, he showed understanding for my killing of Navarre. Pretty much nobody liked that bitch. He also said he still trusted Paul despite his defection, and it was reasonable to assume he had good reason to defect. I'm not sure yet, but I think I might be able to trust this guy. Then, I talked to the military vet guy who provides ammo. He's pretty cool. He told me I acted in accord with my conscience, so I shouldn't worry too much.



I was ready to leave for Hong Kong, and headed to Jock's helicopter... Only for him to tell me he was taking me to New York, instead, where my brother wanted to meet me. Of course, I didn't mind (not that I had a choice). We landed on the roof of the hotel where Paul was staying, and he most certainly wasn't dead. But he seemed injured, as he was sitting on a chair and groaning. It seems the "kill switch" was no joke, but it wasn't something with immediate effect. They'd just program the nanomachines to grow infinitely, until they eventually kill you... So Paul probably IS doomed, but at least has some time left. And I'm probably doomed, too, should they find out my true intentions. Unless I find a counter-measure in the meantime.




Paul asked me to investigate the captured NSF HQ and send a distress signal to NSF affiliates in the world, such as Silhouette in France. He said I'd also find evidence of UNATCO corruption. I said I couldn't promise I'd send the signal. Paul said that after looking at the corruption evidence, I'd do it. So I headed to that building, and waltzed in without trouble as UNATCO troops let me in. However, when I headed to the third floor and overheard a couple of soldiers talking about erasing evidence that Simons was financing UNATCO and the one explaining to the other that Simons had no ulterior motives, and was just a "good to the bone philantropist" (lmao), they told me I shouldn't be there. Whatever you say, dudes. I entered a computer room, hacked a computer and opened a shaft in the floor on the ground floor. Then, I went down there and blew a door up in order to access another computer and open a few other doors. There was heavy security with lasers and stuff, but there were also a few handy TNT boxes laying around which I threw at the lasers and guns near them, destroying them.
