(5) Aggressive solution: Finding Eric Koss Deus Ex: HR Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Note! Three scientists located by Pritchard can be reached in any order and this has no influence on further course of the quest. In a description below I assume that you've already met Declan Faherty (Step 3) and Nia Colvin (Step 4). So you should start your present actions on second level of the northeastern Micro-Gen lab (otherwise scroll up to the description of Step 4 for detailed instructions on how to get there).

Return to the central balcony and find the stairs leading to the top, third level of the building #1. Watch out, because there might be some guards in the area #2. Do not let them surprise you and remember about shooting at them being hidden behind some good cover.

Your mission goal is the door leading to the room G-33, located in the northwestern part of this floor #1 (screen above). Walk freely through the laser barriers and then make sure that there are no more enemies in this area. Open the door leading to the room G-33.

Go to the southern room and examine the adjacent room G-34, finding a computer terminal and an e-book. Walk towards Eric Koss now (screen above) and start the conversation. Its course may slightly differ, depending on the fact if you've already talk with one of the other scientists, or you've reached Eric first. If you've followed this guide, then you had visited Declan and Nia already, so Koss is the last scientist you're talking to. Jensen will share with Eric details about planned diversion. You should also get a disc with copy of the Sevchenko's virus, which will paralyze the local system.

Reward: 250 experience points.

Note! A description of further actions can be found in the description of Step 6 (Uploading a virus to the security computer).
