Mechanic — briefing
You know, I've thought it over again and I'm definitely positive there's a hidden layer to TerraGroup's connection with Knossos. Granted, we don't know what they were hiding yet, but that just means we haven't searched hard enough. We need to double-check everything again. Try to examine the Knossos facilities from the list again, you can also check out the adjacent buildings. Although last time my advice didn't lead you to a proper result... This time, you'd better trust your skills and intuition. Maybe we'll get lucky this way.
Objectives
- Locate a good lead related to Knossos LLC
- Find a way inside the Knossos LLC facility
- (Optional) Locate and obtain the Knossos LLC facility key
Tactical notes
- The whole task stays on one map: Shoreline.
- You will need a key: bring it into the raid, you will not find it there in time.
On completion
Mechanic: Why didn't I think of that before? Knossos didn't purchase the whole territory of Azure Coast, but only the basements under it! That's why I thought this playground was our target. A door like this is unlikely to be accessed with a regular TerraGroup keycard. Considering they, meaning TerraGroup specifically, disguised that place as a Knossos facility, the keycard to access it should probably also have a suitable design. I'll try to find out more about these keycards and secure access to them, but it will take a considerable amount of time. If you don't wanna wait, try to find some other useful information, or better yet, the keycards themselves.
