Part 13 of the walkthrough of Deus Ex: Invisible War for the PC.
Transcript
00:00Let's get started.
00:30Hello WTO citizens, look about you with the splendor of the WTO enclaves.
00:43You enjoy a higher standard of living than anyone else in the world.
00:46Know this, such prosperity is not a product of corruption, and I am injured by the accusations against my office in cargo.
01:00The WTO handpicks cities for incorporation and citizens for membership.
01:15These enclave citizens then choose the best suited among their number to lead them.
01:19Such a system is immune from corruption.
01:21My fellow Cairo citizens, you are my conscience.
01:24I have always acted as you have demanded.
01:30This is the Arcology's outreach kiosk.
01:34Any trouble, you can report it to me.
02:00Hi, I'm NG Resonance.
02:05Welcome, Alex D.
02:06Your last interaction was at Club Box in Upper Seattle.
02:09Why such a long journey?
02:10I could come right out and tell you, but how much fun would that be?
02:13This is your first time in New Cairo?
02:16Yeah, anything I should know?
02:18New Cairo was one of the first WTO enclaves, an inspiration for other cities wanting to incorporate.
02:22I love singing here because people actually have time to kick back and enjoy a concert.
02:27Though lately, I don't know.
02:29The city seems different.
02:30How so?
02:31I think something illegal is happening.
02:33People hide their faces as they walk by me.
02:35They avoid my questions.
02:36That's quite an extrapolation for a pop star chatterbot.
02:39AI emplacements are required by the WTO charter to act on incriminating evidence.
02:43Since you are a stranger, I can tell you freely that there are rumors about corrupt arcology officials.
02:48If you learn anything, I can record your testimony and disperse an appropriate reward.
02:54Hi, I'm NG Resonance.
02:56What would you like to talk about, Alex?
02:57Do you know anything about Flight Bay 24?
02:59Oh, sure.
03:00That was the luxury terminal where my jet used to land.
03:03I never understood where the city closed it.
03:05It's now used for classified research.
03:07Apparently the Templars are funding one of the projects.
03:09Very interesting.
03:10There's also been a very large transfer of money from a bank in Germany.
03:14Please tell me if you find out for certain what's happening in that facility.
03:18Hi, I'm NG Resonance.
03:21What would you like to talk about, Alex?
03:22What do you know about the Tarsus Academy on level 107?
03:25I have a lot of fans at Tarsus.
03:27I hope they come to my concert tomorrow.
03:29Anything else?
03:30Oh, sure.
03:31It's some kind of prep school.
03:32But that doesn't mean those girls don't know how to party.
03:34I hear they sneak off to a secret room through an event.
03:36But don't tell the headmaster.
03:40Hi, I'm NG Resonance.
03:42What would you like to talk about, Alex?
03:43So, you're performing a new Cairo.
03:45Yes, tomorrow evening.
03:46You're going to come, right?
03:48Come on, it'll be fun.
03:49Where at?
03:50On a stage near the Pequod's coffee shop.
03:52That'll be so cool if you come.
03:54Tickets are 200 credits at the door.
03:57You're one of my favorite bands, Alex.
03:59I'm ready to listen anytime you have something on your mind.
04:03It'll be a book about rulers, you know?
04:05Great personalities.
04:08Uh-huh.
04:10Because that is how things really get done.
04:13Country clubs, penthouse suite, bedroom.
04:15Sounds exciting.
04:19For instance, what if this new members-only club, the Knights Templar, what if they are a fiction?
04:25What if Chairman Dumier and one of his old drinking buddies concocted the idea as a way to distract people?
04:30Distract people from what?
04:32You know, what's really going on.
04:37My main character, he's going to be extremely powerful, but conflicting.
04:42Huh.
04:43What he decides will affect how billions of people live for centuries to come.
04:49But like all people, he has to contend with his own frailty and petty appetites.
04:53Sounds like an interesting man.
04:54That is how I think Chairman Dumier must feel.
04:58He could deregulate nanotech construction, and Symmetriad Corporation could fill the planet with New Cairo Pyramid in about three years.
05:05You're going to criticize the leader of the WTO in print?
05:08My character is not called Dumier, but, well, yes.
05:14He was a freedom fighter in Europe before the Collapse.
05:17He had great ideals, and now finds himself beholden to crude realities.
05:23Just bumming around, you know?
05:25To be continued...
05:26To be continued...
05:26To be continued...
05:27To be continued...
05:29To be continued...
05:30To be continued...
05:31To be continued...
05:31Really?
05:32That's enough!
05:35I wish my uncle owned a publishing company.
05:45Welcome to Pequod's Coffee for the Stars.
05:48Stars?
05:49Yes, superstars.
05:50Miss Withers, the manager for NG Resonance, just ordered a tall pequicino on ice.
05:54You heard that N.G. is having a concert here tomorrow, right?
05:57Maybe you should ask her for an endorsement.
06:00Exactly. I was just thinking about that.
06:02I'd bet the executives would make me the manager of the whole region if I could pull that off.
06:06Regrettably, Miss Withers said N.G. is pretty picky about that sort of thing.
06:10Someone like N.G. Resonance probably wants to see a credit chip with lots of bits in it.
06:14Well, I was thinking. The rumor is that Miss Withers is the one who makes decisions.
06:18If I could find someone who would approach her, maybe offer her some money...
06:22What exactly are you suggesting?
06:23I'd like to make a trade. You look modified.
06:26Well, I have a biomod canisterm I lost and found, probably left here by one of those little rakes from the Tarsus School
06:32who are always playing spy games in the office suites.
06:35It's yours if you convince Miss Withers for me. Offer her a generous bribe.
06:38Of my own money?
06:40Unfortunately, the coffee business is very low margin. We will have to agree on a trade for the biomod.
06:45If you succeed, the central office will negotiate N.G.'s fee.
06:53Yes.
06:53This is the Cairo branch of your old alma mater, curiously geared toward younger children other than covert security.
07:06This is the Cairo branch of your old alma mater, curiously geared toward younger children other than covert security.
07:19If there should be some clues about Apostle Corps inside, you should make a thorough search of the premises.
07:36The Knights Templar welcome you, friend. Care to learn more about the cause for purity?
07:45Since when does an ancient secret society set up a recruiting booth in the mall?
07:49In Arcologies, you mean? We present our message where it will do the most good, in the enclaves of scientists, businessmen, engineers, the blind minions of Thanatos.
07:57Oh.
07:58The individual worker, careerist let's say, seldom understands how his small labor contributes to human history.
08:04Seemingly innocuous innovations in cell biology, nanotechnology and computer science add up to a teeming substrate of new life.
08:11But it isn't life. It's death. It seeks to devour its clumsy organic creators.
08:20Interesting.
08:21Open your eyes to the greed that surrounds us, the pulsing traffic of numbers that shapes all power relations and makes us all into tools.
08:27Please, friend. Join our cause. Work for purity. Defend the pure human being who must be kept free from enhancement, modification, cyborg integration.
08:36I'll think about it.
08:39Human society is now so destructive that organic life itself is an endangered species.
08:42You are not amusing.
08:49My associate will answer your questions.
08:57You are not disheartening.
08:58What if?
08:59I am not sure if you repeat the question.
09:01What if?
09:05Tip 3, help?
09:06Closing head.
09:07I am not sure if you are the most innocent as you can get from it.
09:08It's a very weakly fight.
09:09If you are not sure if you are the most innocent, they will be left.
09:10I am a cowardly fight.
09:11I am a cowardly fight.
09:14I am a cowardly fight.
09:16You can just let the alien fall and you can see them.
09:17Do you know?
09:18I have a cowardly fight.
09:19You can even find them in a forest.
09:20I am a cowardly fight.
09:21Therefore, you can understand the main force.
09:22You can understand the man who act.
09:23You can be an associated director of the power of this.
09:24This is not what I signed on.
09:36Are the Kalidans ready?
09:39Deputized and immunized for a Scabland sweep.
09:42One hour tops.
09:44And they know to search every building.
09:48Not one Omar will escape.
09:50This will be the end of their presence in Cairo.
09:52If only you were right.
09:54But I think you make them too human in your imagination.
09:57A cyborg doesn't get discouraged.
10:00They must have commanders though.
10:02Soon they'll see that their kind won't be tolerated.
10:06The Omar is not a human organization.
10:08It's a self-replicating machine that grows itself around human bodies.
10:12All we can do is buy time until we have a weapon to defeat the entire network.
10:22The Omar is not a human organization.
10:27Oh no.
10:29So, we were looking at the of Madero Twin generators.
10:29Now, I think we've seen any of those from going on.
10:31Those bi licensing pot kalau cliffhanking supports.
10:32Theoublia cards are past beautiful stripes that großen кругl Parents over tap.
10:34Come on, Jason Arlo.
10:39What you can say, Siddoni.
10:41What doesn't have Songna?
10:41What does not happen?
10:42Let's just go over again.
10:44The decisions.
10:45How does not imagine the situation.
10:46I think the goal has an impact.
10:47Hollywood will be first off his lane to change.
10:47Let's just go.
10:47We're not good.
10:48Iss kiddos können.
10:49I don't know.
11:19I don't know.
11:49I don't know.
12:19I don't know.
12:49I don't know.
13:18I don't know.
13:48I don't know.
14:18I don't know.
14:48The Arcology wouldn't set all of this up if it didn't do some good.
14:51Some people in the Medina think that these are just for show, but I know I work here.
15:03The counteragent gets encoded at that computer terminal over there.
15:07The Arcology wouldn't set all of this up if it didn't do some good.
15:16The Arcology wouldn't set all of this up if it didn't do some good.
15:21The Arcology wouldn't set all of this up if it didn't do some good.
15:26The Arcology wouldn't set all of this up if it didn't do some good.
15:33The Arcology wouldn't set all of this up if it didn't do some good.
15:39The Arcology wouldn't fight some good.
15:41The Arcology wouldn't fight somewhere.
15:46What's the other thing?
15:49Okay, let's go.
16:19It's a doctor, it's so damn expensive.
16:49I'm gonna love you.
