Part 1 of the walkthrough of Deus Ex: Invisible War for the PC.
Transcript
00:00I don't know.
00:30The infusion lab?
00:42Evacuated.
00:43Trainees?
00:44Gave the order myself.
00:46What did you tell them?
00:48I told them to run.
00:50That's all they need to hear until we reach Seattle.
00:52Agreed.
00:53Anything new on the terrorist?
00:55He's in the city. No ID yet.
00:57Unclear whether we're the target.
00:59An academic distinction if he really has a nanite detonator.
01:03Sorry.
01:05Survey to make you clear.
01:20The security bots have acquired the target.
01:22We're too late!
01:29Helipad. Let's go.
01:31Move!
01:32No! No! No!
01:56Go, Char!
02:02Jesus, did they destroy the whole city to get at us?
02:17Our enemies aren't that desperate.
02:19Perhaps we made a new enemy.
02:23What do they already know about the Seattle facility?
02:26We have other options.
02:28We aren't equipped to fight a war.
02:30We're going to change the terms of engagement.
02:33It's our war, not theirs.
02:35We don't need cities or armies.
02:37We have the cells of human bodies.
02:39An invisible weapon for an invisible war.
03:00Welcome, Alex.
03:08I see that you're awake.
03:09Just trying to sleep off the chopper ride.
03:11What happened?
03:12The guards practically dragged me to the roof.
03:14Let me introduce myself.
03:15Layla Nassif, director of the Tarsus Academy here in Seattle.
03:19I've been moved to Seattle?
03:20What about Billy?
03:20Is she here too?
03:22Alex, I'm afraid something happened in Chicago.
03:24A terrorist attack.
03:25We evacuated you and Billy just in time.
03:27No one told me anything about an attack.
03:29How bad is it?
03:30I have friends in Chicago.
03:32You don't want all the details in one dose.
03:34Trust me.
03:34First, pick up your map to the facility.
03:36It's stored in a data cube inside the chest.
03:39Then I'll unlock your door and tell you what I can about the disaster.
03:42What was that noise?
03:43Nothing to be concerned about.
03:45You have your assignment, Alex.
03:46Goat, now I'd like you to come downstairs and meet the other trainees.
04:09Billy Adams, you know from Chicago.
04:12Check in with her in apartment 454 on your way down.
04:14To be who I can show you, doctor.
04:18It's no longer.
04:19I can tell you what I can show you now.
04:23I can show you.
04:25Attention, training.
04:27Self-setting, hospital.
04:29Do not let you go.
04:32We need a mission.
04:35We need a mission.
04:39We need a mission to the future.
04:42We need a mission to the future.
04:42Who are we?
04:43A mission to the future.
04:44Until our security assessment changes, the process will be operated in some closed cameras. Please remain in contact.
04:55You looking for me, huh? Looking for Leo Chankowski? I'm probably in the wreck area working out. We're already on a plane for Horde RCP Special Security Division, and I bet you wish it was you. Huh, plebe?
05:25I don't know.
05:40Until our security assessment changes, Tarsus will be operating as a closed campus. Please remain in the main complex. Proceeding with routine patrol.
05:55Oh, God. He's really dead.
06:04Attention, trainees.
06:05What happened?
06:06Mike and I, we've worked here for years. Usually nothing makes it past the turrets.
06:11Do you know what's going on? Dr. Narsif acted like nothing's wrong.
06:14I-I'm sure SSC will be sending help any minute now!
06:24Yeah, who's there?
06:25It's me, Alex.
06:26Finally! It's about time you woke up. Come on in. We've got to talk about what's been going on around here.
06:35I take it you heard the disturbance.
06:37Any idea what's going on around here? This Dr. Narsif is telling me to ignore what sounded like an explosion, and I just saw a man killed in the hallway.
06:44I tried to get answers out of Dr. Narsif, but all she'd give me is the elevator code. It's 28901 if you need it. I don't know what's going on, but it's clear we're not safe. We don't know anyone here, so we'd better watch each other's back.
06:55Thanks. I guess I should meet our hostess here already. Not much else I can do, and maybe I can get some better answers in person. You coming?
07:02No, not yet. I've got things to do.
07:06Until our security assessment changes...
07:08I'm sure you've already made a good first impression on Dr. Narsif.
07:11Yeah, she wasn't exactly thrilled to catch me rifling through her office.
07:15You've always been good at making friends.
07:17There were an awful lot of strange files in Narsif's office. All this stuff about test subjects and observation. I can't imagine what that has to do with Tarsis. You should see if you have more luck poking around.
07:27I'll let you know if I learn anything.
07:29Two trainees. Self-study will last only until the top of the hour.
07:34Have you met anyone else here besides Narsif?
07:36Yeah, I've met two of the other trainees. I wasn't impressed. Just like our first day at Chicago Tarsis years ago. There's never any decent competition.
07:44That bad?
07:45Trust me. You and I must be the best Tarsis has to offer right now.
07:48Until our security assessment changes, Tarsis will be operating as a closed campus.
07:52Please remain in the main complex.
07:59the main complex.
08:00Let's go.
08:11Attention trainees. Self-study will last only until the top of the hour.
08:14Alert. Cleaner bot present.
08:30Until our security assessment changes,
08:32presses will be operating to close to campus.
08:35Please remain in the main complex.
08:38It is known that the city is suffering from some sort of disintegrative explosion.
08:42Nanotech is suspected.
08:43An excessively high mortality rate is expected.
08:46No known organization has yet taken responsibility for the attack.
08:50When you drink a cup of coffee, you drink Pequod's.
08:53Because Pequod's is a pioneer of the economy.
08:56Efficient, modern, clean.
08:58Pequod's is on the cutting edge of nutrition and biomedicine.
09:02Our coffee will whiten your teeth and protect against ulcers.
09:05Pequod's, coffee for your kind of world.
09:08Until our security assessment changes,
09:14persons will be operating as a closed campus.
09:17Please remain in the main complex.
09:20Hi, this is Clara.
09:22Sorry I'm not in my quarters right now.
09:23I'm probably on the lower level for training.
09:25But thanks for stopping by.
09:34Attention trainees.
09:36What's going on?
09:36I saw one of your troopers killed.
09:38All part of SSC duties.
09:40I can't come and accept to say the situation will be under control shortly.
09:43What do you mean no comment?
09:44I saw a man die.
09:45Move along.
09:46I know you have your orders and I have mine.
09:48Now let me do my job.
09:49I've got just as much training as you do, if not more.
09:52Why don't you let me help out?
09:53Why don't you keep your mouth shut and just stay out of SSC's way?
09:57Persons will be operating as a closed campus.
09:59Please remain in the main complex.
10:00I know what you must be thinking.
10:18Don't worry.
10:18This won't be a repeat of Chicago.
10:20The facility's under attack.
10:22By who?
10:22No one.
10:23Just an isolated incident.
10:24Listen, we want the trainees to stay in the wreck area.
10:27You'll be safe down here.
10:28Doctor!
10:29Doctor!
10:29We have a code yellow.
10:31Uh, hello Stan.
10:32Are you sure?
10:33One of the guards turned up dead.
10:35I'll be right there.
10:37You'd better introduce yourself to the others.
10:39Clara's just down the hall and Leo's running laps around the track.
10:42What's going on?
10:42I have a right to know if I'm in danger.
10:45You'll be safe in the wreck area.
10:46Go, Alex.
10:47I don't have time to debrief every one of the trainees.
10:59Hello there.
11:00You must be Alex.
11:06I'm Clara Sparks.
11:07Hi.
11:08What's going on?
11:09It looks like this facility is under attack.
11:11Probably just more demolition.
11:12That's Upper Seattle, you know.
11:14Always growing.
11:15We hear it all the time.
11:16Hey, you must be overwhelmed.
11:18I mean, Chicago.
11:19The whole city.
11:20What's your family from there?
11:22My foster parents.
11:23Your parents?
11:24Oh, that's terrible.
11:25I'm so sorry.
11:27If I can do anything to make you feel more at home, let me know.
11:30I'm not kidding about an attack.
11:34I saw a guard die in an explosion.
11:36Really?
11:36I haven't heard any shooting.
11:38Are you sure it wasn't an accident?
11:39No, but the man who interrupted Dr. Nassif mentioned a code yellow emergency.
11:44Does this sort of thing happen a lot?
11:45Ask Dr. Nassif.
11:46I'm just a trainee.
11:47They moved me here a couple weeks ago.
11:49After the attack on Chicago, aren't you a little nervous?
11:51Why so many transfers?
11:53Actually, Leo and I requested to be sent here because this is where you finish training
11:57and get briefed on your first assignment.
11:58Isn't it exciting?
11:59I wonder what company I'll be working for.
12:03So, you've been here two weeks.
12:05Any advice?
12:06Just do your best and I'm sure you'll get a good rating.
12:08We have drills in the morning, exercise and self-study in the afternoons.
12:12Oh, and you'll be getting a suite of biomods.
12:14They give you the infusions during the first week.
12:16Sounds as though you like it here.
12:18Oh, sure.
12:19In the evening, we're usually free to move about the city.
12:21This building is at the edge of Upper Seattle.
12:23You'll be amazed at what a nice enclave the WTO has built.
12:26Yeah?
12:26Actually, I feel a little guilty when I think about all the people still living in post-collapse
12:31shanties.
12:32My family's from Lower Seattle.
12:34Billy and I are from old Chicago.
12:35We had sector passes to go to the Tarsus school in the new Chicago enclave.
12:39Guess all that's going now.
12:40Billy and I, we always plan to send money home once we got assigned.
12:45Take care of yourself, Alex.
12:47You've been through a lot.
12:48So, they let the Chicago transfers out of their cages.
12:58You're looking at Leo Jankowski.
13:00You train here now, so I guess you can call me Leo.
13:02Alex, I just talked to Dr. Nassif.
13:04Know anything about a code yellow emergency?
13:06A security guard has been murdered.
13:08Would I be running if there was an emergency?
13:10Me?
13:10You never heard the name Leo Jankowski in Chicago?
13:13Oh, sorry.
13:15I'm the one with the perfect special ops rating.
13:18They didn't tell you this?
13:19Why would they keep it a secret?
13:20Ever heard the name Alex D?
13:22They told me the same thing.
13:23What?
13:24Really?
13:25Just kidding.
13:25Listen, I'm serious.
13:27You didn't hear the explosions?
13:28I saw a guard killed right in front of me on the apartment level.
13:31Probably staged.
13:32A test for the new transfers.
13:34They rewrote the exercises because of my performance.
13:36If there was trouble, they'd notify me immediately.
13:38The guard was dead.
13:42I'm sure of it.
13:43Better look again.
13:44They did the same thing to me during summer recon.
13:46I got a perfect score because I kept my cool.
13:49Sounds like you're in this for the adventure.
13:51Why'd you sign up?
13:52Money?
13:53My foster parents enrolled me at a Tarsus Middle School.
13:56I never thought about it much.
13:57An orphan?
13:58You were pretty pampered for an orphan.
14:00Why not be a banker or something?
14:01I grew up in old Chicago.
14:03Not some cozy enclave.
14:05My parents made it clear I was going to have to make it on my own.
14:07When I got picked for the Covert Ops program, I figured, what the hell?
14:10What the hell?
14:11What kind of assignment do you expect with that attitude?
14:14A risky one.
14:15With a big salary.
14:17Let me finish my run.
14:23Facility is under attack.
14:25Alex, please get the med kit and the multi-tools from your equipment locker next to the basketball court.
14:29Just a precaution.
14:31I'm transmitting the softkey ID to your datacord right now.
14:34More details when they become available.
14:37I hope it's nothing serious.
14:40Red alert.
14:41There has been a severe security breach.
14:42Maybe it's just a drill.
14:50Doctor Nath.
14:50Always on the clock.
15:00Red alert.
15:01There has been a severe security breach.
15:01I'll watch your back.
15:02Dr. Nassif, please report to A-17.
15:15I can show you a lot of them.
15:20Red alert.
15:21There has been a severe security breach.
15:25Terrorists seem to belong to the order.
15:27Religious fanatics.
15:27Their exact objective is unclear.
15:30All trainees will evacuate the facility immediately.
15:32Use the elevator in my office.
15:34Warning.
15:35Autonomous security systems have been compromised.
15:40Red alert.
15:40There has been a severe security breach.
15:43This is not a drill.
15:44I repeat, this is not a drill.
15:47Intrunkers are storming the facility.
15:48Evacuate immediately.
15:49We've got trouble.
15:50I spotted a seeker coming our way.
15:51Look, there's no reason for me to drag a trainee into a firefight.
15:54Why don't you try to slip out before I start shooting?
15:56Sounds like a good way to become a target.
15:59Not if you're careful.
16:00Just stick to the shadows, crouch, and move slowly.
16:02You'll come through just fine.
16:03This is not a drill.
16:04I repeat, this is not a drill.
16:07Intrunkers are storming the facility.
16:08Evacuate immediately.
16:09Any more pointers?
16:10Sure.
16:11Want to keep a low profile?
16:12Manage the line of sight situation.
16:14Hide behind things.
16:15Watch where the enemy's head is facing.
16:16And listen.
16:17I'm always surprised how much these amateur commandos give away by talking to themselves during a fight.
16:22This is not a drill.
16:24I repeat, this is not a drill.
16:26Don't be ridiculous.
16:27We can handle one order secret.
16:28Those are pretty big words for a rookie.
16:30Go ahead, you first.
16:31I'll bring up the rear.
16:34Warning.
16:35Autonomous security systems have been compromised.
16:41I'm gonna get you.
16:43This is not a drill.
16:44I repeat, this is not a drill.
16:47Intrunkers are storming the facility.
16:48Evacuate immediately.
16:51Thanks for the help.
16:52I guess they weren't kidding about you, Tarsus recruits.
16:55Warning.
16:55Autonomous security systems have been compromised.
17:02This is not a drill.
17:04I repeat, this is not a drill.
17:07Intrugers are storming the facility.
17:08Evacuate immediately.
17:14Warning.
17:15Autonomous security systems have been compromised.
17:22This is not a drill.
17:24Intrugers are storming the facility.
17:28I repeat, this is not a drill.
17:34Warning.
17:35Autonomous security systems have been compromised.
17:42This is not a drill.
17:44I repeat, this is not a drill.
17:46Intrugers are storming the facility.
17:47Intrugers are storming the facility.
17:48Evacuate immediately.
17:55Warning.
17:55Autonomous security systems have been compromised.
18:02Billy, what are you doing?
18:04We all got the same orders.
18:05Get out of the facility through Nassif's office.
18:07Forget that.
18:08How do you know they won't just cut us loose
18:10given all this trouble at their facilities?
18:11Grab what you can now.
18:13Get your biomods installed.
18:14Well, Tarsus owes us that much.
18:15I got mine, and they're worth the trouble.
18:17How?
18:18The facility's being locked down and evacuated.
18:20Go back to your apartment.
18:21You'll be able to get to the biomod lab
18:23to have breached the order made in the residential area.
18:25Wait, do you know what's going on?
18:27The orders contacted me in Chicago
18:29and told me how to uncover Tarsus's treachery.
18:31We're not trainees.
18:32We're test subjects.
18:34Finding out I've been used like that?
18:35I don't feel so bad about disobeying orders.
18:38But where does the order fit into all this?
18:40I thought they were a world church,
18:41not private investigators.
18:42I need to know more before I start making decisions.
18:45The order believes in natural balance,
18:47and they see Tarsus's operations as a violation of that.
18:50It's impossible to live a balanced life
18:51if your actions are secretly manipulated
18:53by a lab with its own agenda.
18:55Now you have a chance to see the real Tarsus.
18:57Explore the facility, starting with your apartment.
18:59If you want to avoid confrontations in the hall,
19:12you can crawl through a vent shaft I found earlier.
19:15It connects Clara's and Leo's apartments.
19:17Enter the apartment on your immediate left to get to it.
19:19Never thought I'd see people die.
19:25Our Seekers are securing the building on the planet.
19:28We have programmed your security systems
19:30to neutralize threats to our cause.
19:31We were friends.
19:32There's a Seeker down there.
19:33I guess I've got to take him down.
19:35Sounds like a plan to me.
19:36Cover me when I charge him?
19:38I mean, I can handle it by myself.
19:39It's just that, in training, we always had backup.
19:41We are here to rescue you from an inhumane scientific experience.
19:44You stay here.
19:45I'll take care of it.
19:46Right.
19:47What was I thinking?
19:55Order be praised.
19:56May Her Holiness watch over and guide you.
20:01Probably nothing.
20:03You'll take more than that.
20:04You will sow no more chaos.
20:11This is the order.
20:12We are now in control of this facility.
20:17Inspecting surfaces.
20:25Our Seekers are securing the building on the front.
20:28We have reprogrammed your security systems
20:30to neutralize threats to our cause.
20:32Proceeding with routine patrol.
20:41We are here to rescue you from an inhumane scientific experiment.
20:45Hear us.
20:46Greetings.
20:46Greetings.
20:47Greetings.
20:47Greetings.
20:47Greetings.
20:47Reject Tarsus and the tyrants who established it.
20:55Order be praised.
20:56May Her Holiness watch over and guide you.
20:58This is the order.
21:13We are now in control of this facility.
21:16Expecting surfaces.
21:25Our Seekers are securing the building on foot.
21:27And we have reprogrammed your security systems
21:30to neutralize threats to our cause.
21:37Proceeding with routine patrol.
21:41We are here to rescue you from an inhumane scientific experiment.
21:45Hear us.
21:46You have been brainwashed.
21:47Reject Tarsus and the tyrants who established it.
21:55Order be praised.
21:56May Her Holiness watch over and guide you.
21:59Inspecting surfaces.
22:11This is the order.
22:13We are now in control of this facility.
22:15We are now in control.
22:17Alright.
22:18stated for entry.
22:20We are now in control.
22:21Pardon me?
22:24Get in control.
22:25Wait.
22:25Our Seekers are securing the building on foot.
22:28We have reprogrammed your security systems to neutralize threats to our cause.
22:32This is the amount ofook patrol.
22:34We are here to rescue you from an incubate scientific experiment.
22:45Hear us, you have been brainwashed.
22:47Reject Tarsus and the tyrants who established it.
22:55Order be praised.
22:57May Her Holiness watch over and guide you.
23:04You will each be interviewed individually in the near future to determine your interests and how they position you within the company.
23:13Please keep in mind how important security has become.
23:16We are looking for assurances that moving you into these new positions is the right thing at this time.
23:22No one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack on Chicago's.
23:26We don't know with any certainty whether it was an accident, an ideological strike against the WTO enclave there, or something else.
23:33Fortunately, we were able to evacuate the trainees there.
23:36They will be joining us at this location and you will be meeting them shortly.
23:39We appreciate your patience during this stressful period.
23:43We will each be interviewed individually in the near future to determine your interests and how they position you within the company.
23:49Please keep in mind how important security has become.
23:52We are looking for assurances that moving you into these new positions is the right thing at this time.
23:57May Her Holiness watch over and guide you.
24:03Now watch the ceiling while I cut the power.
24:10That's the best of my subjects.
24:12This is the order.
24:13You are now in the D.A.C. of the service.
24:17Not just a sound barrier.
24:19He can see us.
24:21What do you think you'll do?
24:25Which one is it?
24:28D03.
24:29I didn't get a chance to read the file.
