A longer talk awaits you, this time with David Sarif. If you've hurried up, you will learn from him that all hostages are still alive. The worst scenario is that eight of them now are dead, and the only remaining one to be saved is Josie Thorpe.
Whatever the situation with the hostages is, you have to decide in a conversation with Sarif how you want to prepare for the mission (screen above):
Option 1 - Do not kill
This is the best solution if you want to remain hidden and avoid enemies or, at most, make them unconscious. Available items for this option are:
A short range weapon - You'll get a stun gun with ammunition.
A long range weapon - You'll get a tranquilizer rifle with ammunition.
Option 2 - Kill
This is the best solution if you intend to actively participate in the fighting, killing enemies with without the possibility of sneaking (total or partial). Available items for this option are:
A short range weapon - You'll get a revolver with ammunition.
A long range weapon - You'll get a combat rifle with ammunition.
