COMPLETE MISSION WALKTHROUGH:
We'll start off with a short cut-scene (#1). Fisher will have an unique opportunity to talk with Lambert. I'm sure that you remember him from the previous "Splinter Cell" games. Get ready. You will regain a full control over Fisher's actions in a few seconds (#2).
Start off by moving forward. Sadly, you won't be able to use nightvision goggles during this mission. Step up to a small container (#1). Climb up in order to get past the fence. You will find yourself near the garage. You will have to be very stealthy here. There are some terrorists here. Make sure that you avoid them. Turn right (#2) and enter the garage area.
Keep moving forward (#1). You should be able to remember this place from one of the previous missions of the game. Enrica will show up here in a few seconds (#2). You will have to listen to what she has to say.
Important! Just as before, a time meter will appear on your screen. You will have 25 minutes to fulfill all primary objectives. I seriously doubt that you'll be able to finish secondary missions as well. There's just too many of them. As a result, I'd strongly recommend that you focus on finishing Primary and Profiles objectives. You will also be able to take care of a body of a dead pilot. I've managed to do these things in about 18-20 minutes. You could spend the rest of the time, trying to get past the shooting range or the training course, however this won't be necessary. These missions are also going to be very boring. They are very similar to the ones from the previous JBA mission. The only main difference is that they're going to be a little more complicated. For example, you will have to score more points at the shooting range. The choice is yours. The most important thing is that you don't forget about the main objectives of this mission. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to proceed to the next level of the campaign mode.
Your first task is going to be very simple. You will have to follow Enrica (#1). Forget about the rest of the objectives. You should be able to reach your destination very soon. This is where you will have to assemble several bombs (#2). Listen to what Enrica has to say. Additionally, you will be given 25 minutes to complete the entire mission. SAVE your game. You won't be allowed to make any major mistakes here, because this would result in losing a lot of time.
We'll start with one of the Profile objectives. You will have to acquire voice samples of five JBA members. Position yourself by the machine (#1). You will have to wait for Enrica to open a door and reach the staircase. Emile will show up very soon (#2). You will have to use a microphone in order to record their voices. Additionally, make sure that you're aiming at a correct character. This will help to speed up the process.
There are two other JBA members for you to find. Start off by going back to the main area of the JBA headquarters (#1). Head on to the upper level. Turn right. You will have to reach a large staircase. That's where the first JBA level has started. Use the stairs to get to the upper level. You should notice that a single worker is standing here (#2). Go back to the main area of the headquarters.
Now you will have to wait for Jamie to show up here (#1). It'll take about a minute. Don't worry, you'll have plenty of time to take care of the rest of the given objectives. Follow Jamie to the staircase. You will have to be standing in a darker spot (#2). Record his voice. As you've probably noticed, you will have to wait for the second part of the conversation to begin. Once you've recorded his voice, save your game and go back to the lower level.
The next guy on your list is Moss. He should arrive here in a few seconds. Follow him to the lower level (#1). After that, choose the microphone from your inventory. You will have to be quick about it. Moss is looking for one of the guards. He will talk on the radio. It's your only chance to record his voice (#2). Once this is done, HIDE the microphone. It's very important that he doesn't see you with this object in your hand.
It's time to proceed with the first main mission objective. You will have to return to the bomb room. That's where you'll find a large machine. Step up to the console (#1). MAKE SURE that you have saved your game. It's important, because you'll probably make a lot of mistakes before you figure out how this stuff works. You will have to participate in a brand new mini-game. The goal is to place an object in a correct spot (#2). You will have to remember about a few important things:
1) Use the mouse to adjust the speed. You can't be doing this operation too quickly. Don't worry about the time limit.
2) Take a closer look at the cross-hair. You will have to make sure that it stays near the green area.
3) Use the movement keys. This will allow you to adjust the machine. You could also try holding your breath, however it won't be necessary.
Take your time to practice using the device (#1). Additionally, each time you successfully assemble the mine, you should exit the mini-game and create a quicksave. This will allow you to save a lot of time. You will have to assemble 10 mines in order to fulfill this mission objective. Once this is the done, exit the mini-game screen and return to the main area of the base. Use the stairs and turn left. You will have to enter the infirmary (#2).
You should have about 18 minutes left. It's plenty of time to deal with one of the secondary objectives. You will find a dead pilot here. Pick up his body (#1). You will have to carry it to the furnace that's located in the basement. You've got two choices here. You can either head on to a nearby ladder and drop his body or carry it to your destination. I would recommend that you choose the second option. You will have to use the stairs to get to the lower level. After that, turn right.
Keep moving forward. You should be able to enter a new room very soon. Turn right once again. You should notice a small staircase (#1). It's going to be located on your right. Use the stairs. Turn right. You will have to leave the body near the stairs (#2). Wait for a correct icon to appear on the screen. After that, go back to the main area of the HQ. I'd strongly recommend that you use the ladder, so you won't lose too much time here. You can ignore the rest of the secondary objectives (shooting range & training course). Return to the bomb room.
You will have to use a nearby console (#1). If you have managed to record some of the voices (I assume that you've already taken care of this problem), you will be able to open the door. Use the stairs to reach the higher platform. I would recommend that you choose a corridor that should be located on your left. This will allow you to collect some important documents. Bear in mind, however, that there's a security camera here. You will have to grab a pipe in order to avoid it (#2).
You will have to press the use key once again. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to get past the camera. Start moving forward (#1). Make sure that you're in a safe spot before you decide to climb down. Turn left. You will come across a door. Open the door (#2). I'd strongly recommend that you save your current progress here.
You will have to keep quiet here. Make sure that you're not moving too fast. Otherwise Enrica would probably hear you coming. Turn right. There's a tight spot between the tables (#1). You will have to get there. There's a file cabinet on your left. Acquire the necessary documents (#2).
Important! Enrica should be sitting by the table, however she may decide to leave her post for a few seconds. You will have to be ready for that. Go back using the same path as before. Additionally, make sure that you have closed the door to her lab.
You will have to use the pipe once again (#1). You will have to be very careful here. Make sure that you aren't spotted by the camera. There's a single door in front of you. Open it and use the stairs to reach the upper level of the compound. Once you're there, I'd strongly recommend that you flip the switch (#2). This will allow you to open the second door without having to worry about enemy guards. Save your game here.
You will reach a new section of the headquarters. This area is being guarded by two enemy soldiers. One of them is sleeping, so you won't have to about him too much. Start off by going to your right. You will have to use the switch (#1). Head on to the main part of the corridor. The sleeping guard is sitting here, so you will have to keep quiet. Position yourself near a large box (#2). You will have to wait for the second guard to show up. He will be heading towards the light switch. This means you will only have a few seconds to reach your next destination.
Wait for the guard to move past your position. Start moving forward. You've probably noticed a pool room along the way. You might as well ignore it. Turn left. You should be able to find a locked door here (#1). As you've probably suspected, you will have to use one of your tools to open it. Enter the new room. Additionally, make sure that the light has been turned off. Head on to the second room. One of the terrorists is sleeping here. You will have to use the microphone (#2) in order to be able to record his voice.
Important! You can't make too much noise here. Otherwise the terrorist will probably wake up!!
Don't leave this area just yet. There are two drawers here. They are located near the beds (#1). You will have to open them. Each of the drawers contains an important document. Once you've acquired these objects, go back to the main door. As you've probably noticed, one of the guards has returned to his post. He is sitting on the sofa, so it would be very difficult to get past him. You will have to wait for him to return to previously explored corridor (#2). Additionally, you should know that Jamie's heading this way. You can't stay here for too long. Otherwise you would have been spotted.
You will have to explore a new part of the corridor. It's located on your left. You will come across a second locked door (#1). Open it and enter the room. Start off by opening one of the nearby drawers (#2). You will find a document here. Turn left and open a second door. This will allow you to enter the bathroom.
You should be able to notice an open window (#1). You will have to use it to reach the courtyard. Once you're there, start running forward. There aren't any guards in this area, so you won't have to worry about making too much noise. Locate a small crate that's going to be located on your right (#2). Climb up and use the pipe. This will allow you to reach a large balcony.
Once you're at the top, start moving towards the right edge of the screen. You will have to jump over a balustrade (#1). Thanks to that, you will be able to reach a balcony. Turn left and open the door. You've probably noticed a safe, however DON'T get too close to it just yet, because this would trigger a new scene. Instead, choose a door that's located on your left. You will find a document in the bedroom. The last file is right here, near the large clock (#2). Make sure that you have collected all of these objects.
The next important thing to do here is to use the computer. You will have to approach it from the right side. Hack into the system (#1). This will allow you to acquire a combination - 1337. You'll use it during the next JBA HQ mission. It would also be wise to save your progress here. Step up to the safe. You'll notice that some of the terrorists are heading this way. This means that you will have to hide. A nearby locker seems like a good idea (#2). Just make sure that you do this quickly.
You won't be able to do anything else here. You will have to wait for Emile and his colleague to end their conversation. Take your time and observe what's happening in the room (#1). Emile will finally use a nearby chair. That's when you'll be able to leave the locker. Move up closer to the safe (#2). I'm sure that you know exactly what has to be done here. Solve the mini-game in order to be able to take a look at what's in the safe.
Once you've solved the riddle, open the safe and perform a second action. You will have to make a copy of the plans (#1). Once this is done, close the safe and move towards the large chair. It's very important because Emile will stand up (#2). He will then start moving towards the bedroom area. If you're hiding behind his computer, you should be just fine.
This is the last part of this mission. You should have about 5-6 minutes left on your timer. You might want to consider taking on some of the secondary objectives, however this won't be necessary. If you want to proceed with the next mission, you will have to go back to the balcony. Climb down and go back to Enrica's bathroom. Make sure that you climb up properly (#1). Thankfully, you won't have to worry about being seen by anyone. Once you're in the bathroom, head on to the second room. This will trigger a final cut-scene (#2).
Finishing all of the star marked assignments will allow you to unlock two new objects: Sonic Grenade - Attachment and Hacking Device - Force Hack Upgrade. The second upgrade will allow you to skip hacking mini-games. This is going to be happening automatically from now on.
