the same trick as in the last mission by getting on top of the buildings.

Learn how to use the same building-topping trick from a previous mission in Front Mission 3 Remake to gain a strategic advantage. Master network access and wanzer upgrades.

Hooray for quality pacing: you're about to have a ton of Network stuff dumped on you, as well as the introduction of the wanzer parts purchase and upgrade systems all at more or less the same time. Brace for impact.

On the sub, the Operator will give you the address for the Da Han Zhong military web site. Other things are afoot on the Network, if you care to check them out. Go to the Crew Room and talk to Miho, then have Alisa go to the bridge.

[Network] Check your email to find that you've been noticed by a man named Jinguji, as well as a hacker/anarchist organization known as Armored Kinkakuji. Visit the latter's stylish website (I especially like their dinky "Kinkakuji Now!" 88x31 button) and access the "Download" section for a decryption program and a couple documents. Also visit the BBS section to learn of some new software available at Network Computing Systems. At the NCS site, you can download the "Kaleidoscope" graphics program.

[Network] Take a look at those files you downloaded from Armored Kinkakuji (Desktop, then Data List). The "Trial Report" has two passwords for the OCU Intelligence site you got access to not long ago. The Search password will get you in, and you can use the JDF password from the Trial Report and the CIU password from Jinguji's email to access those sections. The CIU section has a link to the CIU website, which is password-protected for the moment. You'll find an interesting morsel by viewing the "NCS Document" picture. Use that password at the "Server" link of the NCS website to find out some useless but amusing inside info (check out that second memo and insert your own Enron joke here).

Once you talk to Bamarm, speak to the Operator, who will happily point you to the rebels' web site. After that, talk to Bamarm two more times to finish things up and get the Phillipine army's web address. You've also received two emails, both of which can be replied to. Once in the crew room, talk to everyone and then head out to hit the only two places worth visiting in any city in Front Mission 3--the bar and wanzer parts shop. At the bar, the Businesswoman will give you the address to Jade Metal Lyman's website if you talk to her twice. At the shop, you'll need to talk to the Snotty Girl to quell her tantrum and watch both the parts purchase and upgrade tutorials before you'll be able to buy anything. To save cash, just buy the HP and booster/dash upgrades for now--it's unlikely your pilots have enough extra AP to allocate to other upgrades anyway. Make sure that anyone who's using only one weapon also equips a shield, and also try to get everyone up to at least Ace Rank 2 in the simulator (which will take care of the money problem too).

When you're satisfied with your new setups, go back to the rebel HQ. Talk to Liu to find out his plan, then to Pham. After that, talk to Bamarm to get the password to the rebels' website (BEFREE). You have yet another email, this one for Miho.

[Network] Using Kaleidoscope on the photo attached to Miho's email will reveal a password for a site we don't have access to yet. For whatever reason, a completely different picture is now available as desktop wallpaper.

Tell Liu you're ready to finally get back to blowing stuff up.
