Part 72 of the walkthrough of Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut for the PC.
Transcript
01:59You think Bell Tower kidnapped her, don't you?
02:02You want to tell me you didn't?
02:03I wish I could.
02:05But after what I've seen this past year, all I know for certain is she's not on the base.
02:10Not anymore.
02:11What's that supposed to mean?
02:12Not what you're thinking.
02:14Listen, Rifleman Bank Station supports all Bell Tower operations in this region, Jensen.
02:19Regular contract and special ops.
02:22Six months ago, I received orders to pull every regular grade soldier and civilian contractor away from the airstrip.
02:28Two Black Hawk helicopters set down minutes later.
02:31I thought it had to do with Australia, especially when I saw covered stretchers coming out.
02:35How many?
02:36Five.
02:37Guarded by a heavily augmented special ops team.
02:40Burke went out to meet the leader and the whole group disappeared inside the detention camp.
02:45There's some kind of black project going on in there, Jensen.
02:48Something involving prisoners and scientists.
02:52And I need you to find out what it is.
02:54Why me, Keitner?
02:58That is your name, isn't it?
03:00The one Burke used back on the ship?
03:02Natanya Keitner, yes.
03:04And it has to be you, because any movements I make are noted and logged.
03:08I can't risk blowing cover.
03:10Cover?
03:10Who are you working for?
03:11A few months ago, an Interpol agent approached me.
03:14They've had Bell Tower on their radar for some time, but they've never been able to prove anything.
03:19The things that agent pointed out about this base, it opened my eyes to a lot of things.
03:26So you see, Jensen, I really am playing the good cop and the bad cop.
03:32Tell me more about these scientists.
03:34Technically, I'm in charge of operations here, so I keep tabs on people coming in and out.
03:39Burke keeps meeting with doctors and researchers, telling me it's part of his interrogation technique.
03:44You got any names?
03:45None that I trust, unless the Doe family suddenly expanded into Australian Asia.
03:50Thing is, I don't always see how they leave.
03:52Yet you're sure that Megan did?
03:54The Blackhawks did.
03:56Without the stretchers, but loaded with five stasis pods this time.
04:02I'm gonna need more information than that.
04:04Tell me about this Black project.
04:06I wish I could, but it's been classified.
04:09So classified, every BT suit I've talked to refuses to even acknowledge its existence.
04:13But you've seen something.
04:15Only the edges.
04:16This station is part base, part military stockade, and every week a new shipment of belligerents arrives.
04:22Only, Interpol says they're not on anyone's terrorist watch list.
04:26Most are just civs.
04:27Harmless civs.
04:29Burke takes them into a restricted wing of the detention camp, and they just disappear.
04:36Fine.
04:37What do you need me to do?
04:38Hold still for a second.
04:40What the-
04:41Relax.
04:41I'm just compiling your biometric signature.
04:44Retinal scan, pulmonary and vascular imaging, the works.
04:47Once I upload it to the network and give Corporal Alan Tyler a security rating, you'll be able to pass through specific checkpoints in this sector.
04:55Only this sector, why not others?
04:57Because you're a fugitive, Jensen.
04:59The less room I give you to maneuver in, the more likely it is you'll stay alone.
05:03I can get you into the detention camp, but the interrogation wing is going to be a problem.
05:07Only Burke can give clearances for that.
05:09And I assume you don't want me to go ask for one.
05:11Still the comedian.
05:13There's a security mainframe inside the detention camp's central command tower.
05:18You'll need to upload this copy of your biometrics there by hand.
05:21Contact me using your infolink once you do.
05:24Any more questions?
05:25I'd like a little clarification here about you and Burke.
05:30I take it he outranks you.
05:32Technically, yes.
05:33But this station is only part military stockade.
05:37And while he and his unit have 100% control over the detention camp, I have authority over the base.
05:42So I don't need to worry that this is all just some creative attempt at mutiny.
05:47Mutiny?
05:48You think I'd risk so much because...
05:52Listen close, Jensen.
05:53Burke is a sexist, chauvinist pig.
05:55And yes, he outranks me.
05:57He's also been in Bell Tower a lot longer than me, so he's got more connections.
06:01Which he's used to undermine me at every turn.
06:04But that is not why you and I are standing here right now.
06:08People are getting hurt.
06:10Innocent people.
06:11And we have to find out why and expose it.
06:15Exposure could destroy Bell Tower.
06:17Bell Tower used to have honor.
06:19We do this right, it might again someday.
06:23The guards in the prison complex.
06:25Are they Burke's men or yours?
06:27Definitely Burke's.
06:28Highly trained, special operatives.
06:30So if you start a firefight in there, don't expect to live long.
06:34I'll keep that in mind.
06:37I could use some more hardware.
06:39Any chance Corporal Tyler will have access to the armory?
06:42You're still a fugitive, Jensen.
06:43I suggest you keep a very low profile.
06:45Still, there is someone who might be able to supply you.
06:49One of the base mechanics, a civilian named Quinn.
06:52He runs a nice sideline in procurement.
06:55I know the type.
06:56Why should I trust him?
06:58Because I do.
06:59And because he has no love for Burke.
07:01He's in the lower level maintenance area near the elevator.
07:04He'll get you what you need.
07:05That's all I need to know.
07:09Good.
07:09I'll upload to the security network from here, so get going.
07:13Alan Tyler will exist by the time you reach the prison security port.
07:17Just be careful, and try not to draw too much attention.
07:20Anyway, thank you.
07:22For sacrifices for the community.
07:23You keep on moving on.
07:24I'll make sure you'll be safe.
07:26Away Park heels.
07:27That might be fair.
07:28Poki.
07:30Alright.
07:31Sure.
07:33Go away.
07:36trespass.
07:37Take aial.
07:38Go away.
07:39Get your agreement.
07:41I'll take you.
07:43Go away.
07:44Go away.
07:45Go away.
07:46I'll take you.
07:46So, let's go.
08:16Civilian contractors must stay within designated areas.
08:34Entering restricted areas will result in termination and prosecution.
08:46Security credentials must be carried at all times.
09:04You may be asked to produce said credentials by security personnel.
09:09Please comply.
09:16Thank you, sir.
09:25No.
09:27Human responsibility must be taken minuscidious but not theFT.
09:32Citadel from the tower, which is the field of the tower.
09:35The control of the tower and the avons.
09:38You might not have to.
09:39You're not going to make a new number.
09:41You're not going to make a new number.
09:44You're not going to make any new numbers.
09:46Access granted.
10:16One hand to the power of his strong burn.
10:23One hand to the power of his strong burn.

10:40All grounding orders have been rescinded.
10:50New flight schedules will be distributed as soon as possible.
10:58Access granted.
11:10Any word on when that shipment of mobile turrets is going on in the OZ here?
11:15They've been up there gathering dust for a while now.
11:18Warden, have you seen them?
11:21Civilian contractors must stay within designated areas.
11:25Entering restricted areas will result in termination and prosecution.
11:31Guards, mobile turrets, pretty soon they won't need us at all.
11:35There's one guy in central port.
11:37They'll always need someone to go out and hire us.
11:40If only they'll run out of the cities.
11:53Be advised, new personnel should report to security central for biometric scan.
12:00I just hear something.
12:07Cargo crew to Sector Alpha. Cargo crew to Alpha.
12:14Cargo crew to Alpha.
12:16Cargo crew to Alpha.
12:19Cargo crew to Alpha.
12:28Cargo crew to Alpha.
12:30Cargo crew to Alpha.
12:32Cargo crew to Alpha.
12:33Cargo crew to Alpha.
12:39Cargo crew to Alpha.
12:44They're all shooting.
12:51Be advised, new personnel should report to Security Central for biometric scan.
13:21Security credentials must be carried at all times. You may be asked to produce said credentials by security personnel. Please comply.
13:51Civilian contractors must stay within designated areas. Entering restricted areas will result in termination and prosecution.
14:13Access granted.

14:39All grounding orders have been rescinded. New flight schedules will be distributed as soon as possible.
14:45As soon as possible.
15:15It's been wordt enough.
15:17I'm just saying a lot.
19:01I ain't exactly a fucking Armory Quartermaster down here.
19:04I'm just a savvy contractor trying to make ends meet.
19:07This ain't a bleeding charity.
19:08Considering the circumstances.
19:10Circumstances?
19:11What?
19:12You're a fugitive and I'm risking my neck just talking to you.
19:15What are you trying to pull here?
19:16Although, I don't suppose you had anything to do with a stasis pod that was saved back on the ship.
19:21How do you know about that?
19:22Ah, so it was you, eh?
19:24Well, let's just say I have my sources and your little random act of kindness didn't go unnoticed.
19:29Tell you what.
19:30I'll give you a discount on me wares.
19:32Just no freebies or handouts.
19:34But now that I think of it, if you're looking for a little something for nothing and don't mind a little light work,
19:40I've got an errand I could use running.
19:42Consider it a special offer of sorts.
19:45Interested?
19:52What exactly do you do here, Quinn?
19:54In a more civilized world, you might say I pass for the base's lead maintenance engineer.
19:59But if you look at it from Beltar's point of view, I might as well just be a glorified janitor.
20:04Pay is good though, so, you know, not complaining.
20:07If the pay is good, why the underground market?
20:09Well, why not?
20:10You see, civilian contractors operate under different jurisdiction when it comes to bringing outside goods into the base.
20:16So while the rank and file grunts can only order and receive essentials, toothpaste and the like,
20:20I, being the entrepreneurial chap that I am, offer a more robust catalogue of goods and services.
20:26You know, the sort. Smokes, beverages and, eh, gentleman's literature.
20:30How does this involve weapons?
20:32Now, let me finish.
20:33As an enterprising fellow, I require an exchange of valuables for these slightly less than essential supplies
20:38and often receive some very non-civilian contractor-regulated equipment and exchange, if you catch me drift.
20:44Now, normally, a lot of my stocks are at contact on the mainland, but a deal in Shanghai recently fell through,
20:50so, lucky for you, I've got some excess inventory to move.
20:53Consider this whole arrangement, eh, a matter of fortunate timing.
20:58And Kuykner is okay with all of this?
21:00Eh, not exactly.
21:01You see, some time ago, the commander got wind of my little operation down here.
21:06But before she could throw me in the brig, I offered her something I knew she couldn't refuse.
21:11Information.
21:12I ain't bragging, but, eh, I'd managed to build myself quite a little network of sparrows and gophers.
21:17I'd known for a while that she'd been at odds with that prick, Burke.
21:20In the end, it reached a rather simple mutual agreement.
21:24I keep her in the loop, and she keeps my neck out of the noose, so to speak.
21:31What can you tell me about this base?
21:33Nothing you don't know, probably.
21:35To the outside world, it's about our naval logistics headquarters and supply point for their Pacific operations.
21:40Beneath the surface, though, it's much, much more.
21:44How so?
21:45Look, nothing personal yet, but I prefer the commander to most of the informing.
21:49As far as I'm concerned, the less I know, and, more importantly, the less I say in this matter, the better off we all are.
21:57Tell me about the commander, Kuykner.
22:00Lieutenant Commander, officially.
22:02But the grunts don't pay no mind to that.
22:04She's the commander, as far as they're concerned.
22:06It's the Reds who stick to the formalities, you see.
22:09Because they're Burke's boys.
22:10The spooks.
22:11Special operations.
22:13You might say there's a bit of a division of loyalty among the troops.
22:17Between Kuykner's men and Burke's?
22:19Aye.
22:20Since Time Immortal has always been a rivalry of sorts between grunts and spooks,
22:24I always assumed it came down to ego.
22:25But it's different here.
22:27Probably because Burke's different.
22:29What do you mean?
22:29Well, for a start, the man might be a righteous prick, but he's got the respect of his men.
22:34And the higher-ups think he's a visionary based on some fancy tank he drummed up a few years back.
22:39In other words, the man's got a lot of influence and a lot of power, and, uh...
22:43But I don't think that old proverb needs to be beaten here.
22:45All right, tell me about this special offer.
22:54Look, I don't know if you've noticed yet, but this base is packing some serious heat.
22:59Especially in the form of those walking brick shithouse boxcars.
23:01If you give me a few odds and ends, I might be able to whip up a little something to make getting around easier.
23:06If you catch my meaning.
23:07What kind of something are we talking about here?
23:09Nothing fancy.
23:10Just a 329 series NPRS.
23:13A rocket launcher?
23:14That's right, mate.
23:16And custom-built.
23:17But yours truly, of course.
23:19You see, while I might be able to get my fingers on some low-level arms,
23:23I'm a little restricted when it comes to military-grade bells and whistles.
23:26And I'm itching to try out a new trigger-propulsion mix.
23:29Maybe even recalibrate the guidance system for some extra punch.
23:32I like the sound of this.
23:38Fucking right, you like the sound of this?
23:40It's the bollocks.
23:41Look, all you gotta do is find me some components.
23:44I'll do the rest.
23:45An earlier boat had a shipment of 329s.
23:48But I wasn't able to poach any of them before they made it to the armory.
23:51Luckily, a little sparrow and my employee managed to lose one through maintenance circulation.
23:55But he got himself shit-canned before I could collect.
23:58Now my little beaut's lying around the base somewhere in bloody pieces.
24:00The launcher, I mean. Not the wee man.
24:04Though I have no idea what really happened to him.
24:06Right. So, long story short, you need me to find the parts and bring them back to you.
24:10Yeah, that about sums it up, I'd say.
24:12Just find me the trigger module, scope assembly, and launch apparel.
24:16And we're in business.
24:17I could sweep up the rest from leftovers here in the shop.
24:20I think I already found one.
24:21Aye. Let me see what you got there.
24:24That's the 329s trigger module.
24:25Let me know when you find the other two.
24:29What are you buying?
24:30Satisfaction guaranteed.
24:58Unless, of course, you fuck it up yourself.
