Part 22 of the walkthrough of Deus Ex: Invisible War for the PC.
Transcript
00:00The Templars are one step ahead of us, but not for long.
00:09Prepare the gates with the sequencing module.
00:11Find your long-lost older brother on the other side, then wait for my orders.
00:15Come to the tavern. I have more to tell you about JC's condition and why you were so important.
00:21Remember my advice, Alex. You will need it.
00:24What's happening? I've heard strange stories about Her Holiness.
00:30Like what?
00:31Just rumors. But is it true? Did she make a secret alliance with the WTO?
00:41Someone is reading too much into Chairman Dumier's concern for your leader.
00:45He was simply being a good statesman by authorizing a rescue attempt.
00:48When I say that to people, they laugh and call me naive.
00:50Just another conspiracy theory. Does anyone have proof?
00:54All I want is to understand what happened.
00:56The kidnapping? Saman leaving the Church? A Templar army?
00:59It's a hard time for the Church. But this is when Her Holiness needs your support.
01:03Tell her your concerns. She will put your mind at ease.
01:06Perhaps you're right. May she forgive my doubt.
01:08I grew up in post-collapse Hong Kong.
01:10My parents were Max Chen and Maggie Chow, conspirators involved with MJ-12.
01:14My worst fear is that I'll give my allegiance to a deceptive cause.
01:18May order prevail.
01:20Thank you. You've put my mind at ease.
01:24Thank you. You've put my mind at ease.
01:50Thank you. You've put your mind at ease.
02:20Have you ever seen such a mess?
02:34Dark, my friend. Are you this the summit?
02:37Your followers haven't expelled you yet?
02:39Word is leaking out that Her Holiness and I have been secretly working together.
02:43I think we can spin that into diplomatic ties.
02:46Or private negotiations. What does that sound, darling?
02:50No need for people to have the perception that we started these organizations for some other purpose.
02:55Unless somebody tells them.
02:57I could tell them myself. They would think it was the same old story.
03:01The Illuminati secretly controlling the world.
03:04Some might believe it, but everybody else would laugh in my face.
03:09People want to believe certain things about their leaders. That's always been our key to power.
03:13You said you had a map of the Templar compound.
03:15Yes, of course. Here you are. Find the sequencing module. Go through the gateway to J.C. Sanctuary.
03:22We have our own interest in protecting J.C. Denton from the Templars.
03:25I would think that you and Apostle Corps would be bitter enemies.
03:29We are, but first the clam must give up its pearl.
03:32Good luck, Special Agent Denton. We will call on you when the time comes.
03:35Yes. In case you need a pilot to take you to the compound, the Nine Worlds Tavern is a good place to hire one.
03:41Too late. They left already. I guess we can watch the news to hear what they talked about.
03:47Your followers haven't expelled you yet?
03:50Word is leaking out that Her Holiness and I have been secretly working together.
03:54Or, what is that?
03:55No need.
03:55Unless I could tell people want to.
03:56You said you had a guess.
03:57I would think that you...
03:58We are.
03:58This was a historic day.
04:01There was a pretty low trick you played on the world.
04:03Taking advantage of the Collapse to seize power, and then deceiving people with a phony conflict between business and idealism?
04:09No society is without this conflict.
04:11Our intention is to develop both principles and then integrate them into an open, secular society.
04:16One puppeted by the Illuminati.
04:18Our work has always done more good than harm.
04:21The Collapse would have been far more devastating if Chad and I hadn't served the memory of my mother and of my family's history by rebuilding the Illuminati organization, which was nearly destroyed by MJ-12.
04:32There was a time when we were the rebels.
04:34The older generation had failed us in so many ways.
04:37But now we see that the flaw was in their methods, not their intentions.
04:41Their intention to disguise tyranny with so-called free institutions.
04:44The average citizen in a society of billions is never free, whether because of tyranny or simply because of the contrast between his small size and the size of the government.
04:53We plan to give people a sense of freedom and a prosperous world.
04:57In practical, historical terms, that's about as good as it gets.
05:00Be there for us, Alex.
05:02The critical time is approaching.
05:04First holiness gets taken, then found.
05:06Another day.
05:14I just wanted to give all the freaks what they deserve.
05:44Meanwhile, we have been accused of theft, which is ridiculous.
06:14We were only following Luminan Saman's directives.
06:17We had no idea it would come to this.
06:27Hello.
06:27The Nine Worlds is a no-weapon zone, strictly in force since the riots.
06:31So you want me to disarm in the middle of a war zone?
06:33No, you've just got to consent to the standard deactivation procedure before entry.
06:37I'll transmit the encrypted safety lock bytecode, which will effectively freeze all your weapons.
06:41Sensors at the exit will automatically reactivate everything you're carrying when you leave.
06:47Here you go.
06:48Thanks for your cooperation.
06:49Come on in.
06:50The whole reason I joined the order was to get away from factory metal thinking.
07:05When you go to Antarctica and find JC, remember what hangs in the balance.
07:20I haven't told you just how powerful JC has become.
07:23One of the other trainees, Billy Adams, has already gone through the gate.
07:26She has signed her soul over to the Luddites, the haters of technology.
07:30Protect JC, or she could plunge the world into another dark age.
07:33Trust me.
07:34I was like her 20 years ago, and I still share some of the blame for triggering the collapse.
07:38I thought you said JC was powerful.
07:40He is.
07:41But the merger with the Helios AI has been problematic.
07:44He has fallen into a state of near-cadatonia and will be vulnerable until you can revive him.
07:47How do I do that?
07:49By transferring your biomod architecture to JC, you will complete his interface to the AI and bring him out of the coma.
07:54This is a job we intended for Paul, but now it falls on your shoulders.
07:57Paul Denton?
07:58He too is helpless and in need of our new systems.
08:01We thought we had the infusions perfected three years ago, but his body rejected them violently.
08:05He had to be cryogenically frozen until we could finish the design.
08:08The leader of the Cairo facility, captured by the Templars?
08:11Exactly. JC will tell you more.
08:13Please, don't delay.
08:14Every passing minute brings your friend Billy one step closer to murdering the only sincere leader humanity has ever had.
08:21I never imagined that all four of our facilities would be compromised at once.
08:28How is it going?
08:53Hey.
08:54Hey.
09:12You! Hey!
09:14Hey.
09:23Hey.
09:38Not so fast!
10:08You must have no idea who you're messing with!
10:38You've already turned on the generator, so now you must upload the sequencing module
11:02from the gauge control group.
11:05This is the main control group.
11:10You should be able to install the sequencing module at the commuter terminal.
11:16Wonderful!
11:17The device is operational.
11:19Now I'll simply take a deep breath and step inside.
11:23I'm willing to bet that this thing actually works.
11:30I'm willing to bet that this thing actually works.
11:37I'm willing to bet that this thing actually works.
11:44I'm willing to bet that this thing actually works.
11:51So let's go!
11:52I'm willing to bet that this thing works.
11:53It's very important.
11:54I'm willing to bet that this thing works.
