Complete walkthrough for Mission 1, 'dataDyne Research: Investigation (2)' in Perfect Dark (2000). Includes objectives: Holograph Isotope, Start Maintenance Cycle, Shut Down Experiments, and Locate Dr. Caroll.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Holograph Radioactive Isotope: Exit the elevator, go left down the hallway, and through the door to your right. Immediately turn left, then right, and go through the next door into a large room. Head right and through the door with the Caution sign. After the second door, eliminate the two guards. Equip your Camspy and move it through the next door into the radioactive room. Navigate it straight ahead to get a clear shot of the green radioactive isotope and press the Z trigger to holograph it.
  2. 2
    Start security maintenance cycle: Return to the mission's starting area. In the room where you encountered the first guard, find a steel door with grates. Wait for the small floating robot to unlock it, then proceed through. Run down the hallway, past the right turnoff, and through the door at the end. Kill the guards inside, continue straight past the large screen, turn right, and locate another screen. Press B to activate it, then go to the first screen and press B to activate that one.
  3. 3
    Shut down experiments: Go back to the large room that led to the Radioactive Isotope. Exit all Caution doors until you are back in the large room. Head right and through the large door labeled "Sector 2". Eliminate the guard on the other side, then go through the door on your right. Approach the scientist to shut down one experiment. Leave and go through the very last room to the left. Approach the scientist inside the next door and hold your gun to their head to shut down another experiment. Proceed through the large metal door at the other side of this room, then through the next door. Approach the scientist here; they will activate the alarm and run. Follow them until they stop at a control panel, knock them out, and press B to activate the panel yourself.
  4. 4
    Locate Dr. Caroll: Return to the main room and proceed through the only door you haven't entered yet. Be prepared for a large number of guards. After defeating them, go to the end of the corridor, turn right, and go through the door. Kill the guards inside, then proceed through the next door labeled "Sector Three". Wait for the small robot on the ground to deactivate the lasers blocking your path. Go through each doorway until you reach a smaller door also labeled "Sector Three". Head through it. Continue through the next door to encounter guards with Dragons. Defeat them, take the Dragon and ammo, and use the Data Uplink on the nearby computer next to the door to unlock all Security doors. Enter the door, deal with the guards in the next room, and proceed through the door labeled "Restricted". Continue through the subsequent doors, past the sentry guns, and through the large door at the end to complete the mission.
