Walkthrough
- 1Holograph Radioactive Isotope: Exit the elevator, go left down the hallway to a door on your right. Go through, turn left, then right to another door. Enter the large room, go right through the door with the Caution sign. After the second door, kill the two guards. Equip your Camspy, move through the next door into the radioactive room. Move the Camspy straight ahead to get a clear shot of the green radioactive isotope and press Z to holograph it.
- 2Start security maintenance cycle: Return to the starting room. Wait for the floating robot to unlock the steel door with grates. Go through, run down the hallway, past the turnoff on your right, and through the door at the end. Kill the guards, keep going straight past the large screen. Go right to another screen and press B to activate it. Then go to the first screen and press B to activate that one.
- 3Shut down experiments: Return to the large room that led to the Radioactive Isotope. Exit the Caution doors back into the large room. Go right through the door labeled "Sector 2". Shoot the guard, 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 he will shut down another experiment. Go through the big metal door, then the next door. Approach the third scientist; he will activate the alarm and run. Follow him to a control panel, knock him out, and press B to activate the panel yourself.
- 4Obtain experimental technologies: There are three technologies to retrieve. For the first, return to the main room, enter "Sector 2", go through the next door, take the second right, and enter the room at the end. Kill the guard and scientist, then take the experimental weapon. Leave, go into the door to your left across from you. Take the platform down, kill the scientist and guard, and take the experimental weapon he drops. Return to the main room, and go through the only door you haven't used yet. Kill the numerous guards. Go to the end of the corridor, right, and through the door. Kill the guards, then head through the next door labeled "Sector Three". Wait for the robot to deactivate the lasers. Go through the doorways until you reach a smaller door that reads "Sector Three." Head through it. Continue through the next door until you reach guards with Dragons. Kill them, take the Dragon and ammo. Use the Data Uplink on the nearby computer to unlock all Security doors. Go through the door, take care of the guards in the next room. Go through the door labeled "Restricted". Head through the doors to your left labeled "Security" until you reach the room with the last experimental technology.
- 5Locate Dr. Caroll: Continue through the next sets of doors, past the sentry guns, and through the large door at the end.
