The Root Cause

Therapist — briefing

Greetings. I figure you're already aware of the recent situation, granted you've found the blood samples Jaeger brought me. I've analyzed them, but it's not sufficient. In order to get started, I need a sample of the virus itself. This is extremely dangerous, so use every precaution during the mission! Come and see me as soon as you find it. This is to minimize the time the virus is out in the open.

Objectives

• Locate and obtain the virus sample in The Lab
• Hand over: the virus material

Tactical notes

• The whole task stays on one map: The Lab.

On completion

Therapist: Only when you know what you're up against can you make an effective remedy. But that will take time. The information that may have been stored on some TerraGroup devices would help speed up the process. I have contacted Mechanic. If he finds anything useful, he will contact you himself.
