COMPLETE MISSION WALKTHROUGH:

This mission is going to start near the garage area. You will have to listen to what Emile has to say (#1). After that, start following ham. I'd strongly recommend that you save your game here. You will have to make a final decision very soon.

You've probably heard that special forces are getting ready to storm the headquarters. Thankfully, you won't have to worry about them right now. Additionally, there aren't any time limits, so you will be able to plan your each action. You should be able to reach the interrogation cell in a few seconds (#1). It looks like that JBA members have managed to capture Lambert (#2). You will have to make a very important choice here. You can either kill or save Lambert.

I guess I should tell you about a few important things. This choice will probably affect the entire ending of the game. Here's what may happen:

A) If you destroyed the ship and killed Hisham, you won't be able to see the best possible ending, however killing Lambert will help you to witness the worst one.

B) If you've done only ONE (or none) thing wrong (blew up the ship or killed Hisham) then there's still hope. You will be able to witness the best ending, however you won't be allowed to killed Lambert.

I'd strongly recommend that you save his life. As a result, you will have to kill Jamie who should be standing on your right (#1). As you've probably noticed, you will lose all your trust with the JBA organization. This means you're going to be attacked on sight. Ignore Lambert (you can't help him right now). Instead, use one of your tools to acquire a retinal scan from Jamie (#2). You shouldn't have any problems doing this.

Important! You will have to perform the scan action QUICKLY. I guess I won't surprise you by telling that there are some thugs heading your way. Once you've acquired the retinal scan, leave the room (ignore the alarm sound) and turn RIGHT (#1). Start running towards the cellar. Use the stairs. Once you're close enough to the furnace, turn right. There's a ladder here (#2). I'm sure that you remembered it from the previous JBA missions. Use the ladder to reach the upper floor. Save your game there,

Now you will have to reach the armory. This will allow you to retrieve some of your equipment. Head on to the room that's located on your left. You will find nightvision goggles here, as well as the silenced rifle (#1). Pick up these objects and go back to the main corridor. You will have to reach a gate that leads to the server room. Sadly, the central area of the base is going to be guarded by at least one terrorist (#2). Additionally, more bad guys may arrive here very soon. You can try killing, neutralizing or avoiding enemy troops. I should warn you, though. Being stealthy is going to be very difficult here.

I'm sure that you know exactly where the server room is located. Thankfully, you won't be returning to the central area of the HQ, so it'll be a lot easier once you get past it. Get closer to the gate (#1). You will have to acquire a second retinal scan (from Dayton). You can wait for the terrorist to leave the server room (#2) or go in there and neutralize him right away. The choice is yours. Just make sure that no one sees you.

Now you will have to head on to the scanner (#1). Use the stairs to reach the upper level. You won't have to examine the lab, so use the right door. Head on to the second staircase. Flip the light switch and open a new door. As you've probably noticed, this corridor is going to be guarded by three terrorists (#2). You may consider killing them (make sure you're standing in a dark spot), however you could also try and avoid being seen. You would also have to use several other switches.

Your current objective is the high security corridor. I'm sure that you remember the entrance from the previous JBA mission (#1). Fisher will come across Enrica (#2). She will open an elevator door for you, however it would be best to ignore it just yet. Sadly, you will have to grab Enrica and neutralize her. This is the only way to acquire a retinal scan.

Ignore the elevator and head on to the left corridor. You should be getting closer to the armory. Be careful, though. One of the terrorists is guarding the conference room (#1). You should neutralize him. After that, enter the armory. You'll find plenty of ammunition here, as well as some smoke grenades (#2). Make sure that you have picked up these objects.

Go back to the elevator and use a nearby panel (#1). You shouldn't have any problems opening the elevator door. You will only need one retinal scan to complete this action. Enter the elevator and press a button (#2). You will have to wait for the game to load the second part of this mission.
