your next mission.

Your next mission in Quake IV: Report to General Harper and Lieutenant Voss for your briefing, then gear up to disable the Strogg Nexus.

Alright, let's get you set up for your next mission in Quake IV. We're going to be heading into the hangar bay first. Take a look around at the marines working on those Walkers, it's a pretty cool sight. Then, keep an eye out for a door labeled "D.4 Decontamination." Head through there, and after that, you'll be ready to enter the ship proper.

As you make your way through the ship, you'll see plenty of marines just going about their business, maybe even catching up on some gossip. From the main hallway, you've got a couple of options. You can turn right towards "Drop Pod Command," or you can keep going straight. Both paths will eventually lead you to the same place, just via different routes. I'd suggest checking out both just to soak in the atmosphere and catch some of the chatter.

You'll know you're on the right track when you spot the "Sector D.4 Medical Bay." Take a peek through the windows to see what kind of cutting-edge research those brilliant doctors are up to. After that, you'll find yourself in a hallway with three doors. Go for the one marked "D.4 Briefing | Armory." You'll pass through a noisy room, and then you'll see a sign for the "D.4 Rhino Briefing Room." That's your destination! It's a good clue that you're in the right place because most other doors on the ship will be locked, except for the ones you need.

Objective Complete: Report to Briefing

Once you're in the briefing room, you'll meet General Harper and Lieutenant Voss. General Harper will explain the operation's name, "Advantage," and its significance. Lieutenant Voss will then fill you in on the Strogg communication network, the Nexus, and why disabling it is critical. Your task will be to take an EMP bomb into the Hub where the Nexus is located.

Objective: Gear Up
