Dialogue[]

The message found its recipient. Rats on a sinking ship began to scurry. The customers gave orders to destroy all evidence of ongoing developments. Your mission is to infiltrate TerraGroup's lab, find the data carrier containing the data we need, and deliver it to me. What are you waiting for, a candy for good luck? Hurry up!

Requirements[]

Objectives[]

Note: The "Search" objectives will appear after the "Eliminate" objective is completed.

Rewards[]

Do you have the recorder? Perfect, give it to me. It will take time to complete the decoding. I'll let you know when we're done.
