[SPEECH: AmandaShays]
So let me get this straight.  The President is under the influence of some sort of alien mind-control device, so with the help of our little friend here, we're going to somehow disable the thing?

[SPEECH: Blue]
Controlled by the Greys, Mead is, yes.  Used for... how you say?  Diversion, yes.  Come to your world the Greys will.  Soon to come, yes.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
So they are able to control the President enough to cause the whole nuclear crisis with China?  Just as a diversion?

[SPEECH: AmandaShays]
I think he's saying that with all the world's attention on the crisis, it will be easier for some sort of invasion to begin.

[SPEECH: Blue]
Yes, yes.  Invisible to radar the Greys' craft are.  Through their jump gate, arrive they will.  But distraction helpful still.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
I don't understand.  Jump gate?

[SPEECH: Blue]
Not important now.  Get to Mead now you must.  Much important.  Yes, yes.

[SPEECH: Blue]
Device implanted into Mead, yes.  Greys do this.  Altered, his thoughts can be.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
So what can we do?

[SPEECH: Blue]
Disabled, the device can be.  If phrase "Thuban to Polaris, Aries to Aquarius" Mead hears, shut down, the device will.

[GOAL:]
Get to President Mead.

[SPEECH: AmandaShays]
Hmm, like the opposite of a kill switch.  How do you know all of this?

[SPEECH: Blue]
Modified to look like a Grey, one of our people was.  Among them he lives.  Much information gathered, but much to learn we still have.

[SPEECH: AmandaShays]
A spy.  Nice.

[SPEECH: AmandaShays]
It's not going to be easy to get to Mead.  I've been monitoring UNATCO transmissions in the area; they're expecting you.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Damn.  I was afraid of that.

[SPEECH: AmandaShays]
Yeah, well, they think you're trying to assassinate the President or something, so they've already sent some troops down.  They're being led by someone named Hela.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Hela.  I worked with her on an assignment once.  She's got some serious mechanical augmentations.  Very tough.

[SPEECH: AmandaShays]
Here, I've got some extra ammo you can have.  Well, better get moving before any more reinforcements arrive.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Right.  You do realize that when all of this finally sinks in, I'm probably going to lose my mind.  Talk about a surreal nightmare.

[SPEECH: Blue]
New things you handle better than others.  Open your mind is.  Good that is, yes.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Amanda, you should stay with the van.  I'll take care of this.

[SPEECH: AmandaShays]
I'm coming with you.  I'm not letting you have all the fun this time.  I can at least help you with the initial guards.

[CHOICES:3]

[CHOICE:]
Good, I could use some backup.

[CHOICE:]
No, it's too dangerous.  I don't want anything to happen to you.

[CHOICE:]
Sorry, Amanda, but you would just slow me down.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Great, let's do this.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Look.  I've got augmentations.  You don't.  It's just too risky.

[SPEECH: AmandaShays]
I can handle myself.  I've been on plenty of ops.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
I'm sorry, but I must insist.

[SPEECH: AmandaShays]
I suppose I should be flattered that you actually care about my safety.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
I might need you on a future mission.

[SPEECH: AmandaShays]
Can't actually admit that you care about someone, huh?  That's OK, I think I understand.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Don't get me wrong - I'm sure you were a good operative, but the reality is that you would be in my way.

[SPEECH: AmandaShays]
You know, Paul, I was starting to like you.  Right up until now.  Give me a chance, at least.  I think you're going to need some help on this one.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Negative.  The last thing I need is a non-aug dragging me down.

[SPEECH: AmandaShays]
You really are an arrogant, overconfident bastard, you know that?

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Maybe that's true.  You're still not coming.

[SPEECH: AmandaShays]
I'll do it your way.  This mission is just too important to be jeopardized by infighting.  Doesn't mean I have to like it though.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Fair enough.

[SPEECH: AmandaShays]
What about Blue?

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
He's pretty good in a fight, but he's way too valuable to risk.  He needs to stay out of this.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Blue, we need you to stay alive, so you'll have to sit this one out.  Better get back in the van before somebody spots you.

[SPEECH: Blue]
Understandings I have, yes.  Luck be with you.

[SPEECH: BrackishOkun]
I always figured the Greys were up to no good.  Read too much science fiction perhaps.  If we can use their own technology against them, maybe we have a chance.

[SPEECH: BrackishOkun]
I've heard rumors of secret underground labs where scientists and Greys are working together to develop cloning technology.  It sounded absurd until I thought about where I work!

[SPEECH: BrackishOkun]
I've even heard rumors that the President is being mind-controlled by the Greys.  Now that one's too far fetched even for me.

[Owner: BrackishOkun]
[Name:  meet_dr_okun]

[SPEECH: BrackishOkun]
Who are you?  What are you doing here?

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Name's Paul Denton.  I'm here to rock the boat.  Seems the... "people" that gave the government that advanced technology aren't playing nice any more.  So I'm not going to play nice either.

[SPEECH: BrackishOkun]
Well they don't tell us much about where that stuff came from.  We're just supposed to figure out how it works.  You probably know more about what's really going on than I do.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
I know that they must be stopped.  Whatever it takes.

[SPEECH: BrackishOkun]
What little we know of "them" doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.  So I'm not surprised.

[SPEECH: BrackishOkun]
I can give you something that will help you if you ever run into any of "them."  The scientists here don't know much about the Greys' motives or history, but we have been given detailed anatomy data on them.

[SPEECH: BrackishOkun]
Using that data in conjunction with some of our findings from studying the alien technology, we have been tasked with creating a weapon specifically designed to do maximum damage to the Greys.  Part of a government contingency plan I imagine.

[SPEECH: BrackishOkun]
I'll spare you the technical details, but suffice it to say that its beam disrupts a Grey's cellular tissue most effectively.  In fact, it's even possible for the beam to cause a Grey's body to ignite.

[SPEECH: BrackishOkun]
It's an energy rifle that is still in the prototype stage.  There's no official military designation for it yet; its code name is the JOSHUA Weapons Project.  Only a few prototypes of the JOSHUA have been created so far, but I can get you one.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
But you're not handing them out like party favors, right?

[SPEECH: BrackishOkun]
You mean do I want something in return?  Well, yes.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Yeah, well I'm used to it.

[SPEECH: BrackishOkun]
Dr. Abrams has been working on high density data storage research, and has had phenomenal success.  Most of it stems from studying samples of alien biomatter.  His project team has been granted exclusive access to those samples, and he is focused solely on using it for data storage.

[SPEECH: BrackishOkun]
I'm convinced that there are other applications for it.  I think that studying that material might even lead to the development of extremely advanced fuel cells.  I want a sample of that biomatter.

[SPEECH: BrackishOkun]
Dr. Abrams' office is on the opposite side of the main lab.  He keeps a sample locked up right in his office.  You should be able to get in through the ventilation system.

[SPEECH: BrackishOkun]
The ventilation shaft that leads to his office is secure, but I know the bypass code.  3843.  Think you can handle it?

[NOTE:]
The keypad code for the ventilation shaft leading to Dr. Abram's office is 3843.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Not a problem.  I'll be back with that sample in no time.  One more thing.  Can you get me into the hangar with the alien craft?  I want to check it out.

[SPEECH: BrackishOkun]
Sure.  Just go through the round door and you'll figure it out from there.  The key's on my desk.  Watch out for the sentry bots.  There's usually a ZODIAC commando or two on patrol too.  I suppose you already know about ZODIAC.  You can use the "orac" account on the security console.  The password is "blake7."

[NOTE:]
Use ID "orac" and password "blake7" for the lab security console.

[SPEECH: BrackishOkun]
You may be disappointed though.  We've been studying that ship for decades and have come up with nothing.  It just hovers there and makes a humming noise, but we can't get it to do anything else.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
I think I'll take a crack at it.

[SPEECH: BrackishOkun]
Knock yourself out.  Just get me that biosample.

[GOAL:]
Return a sample of the bio-storage matter that Dr. Okun has requested.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Owner: BrackishOkun]
[Name:  return_to_dr_okun]

[SPEECH: BrackishOkun]
Nicely done.  Can't wait to start examining this.  Hold on and I'll unlock the JOSHUA prototype vault.  While I hope you won't have to use it, I have to admit that part of me is curious how well they work in practice.  We've only had simulations to depend on so far.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Something tells me it'll get a real world workout soon enough.

[SPEECH: BrackishOkun]
Good luck with your boat rocking, Paul.

[SPEECH: BrackishOkun]
Talk to me when you've found that sample.

Hey, you're the guy the whole base is looking for, right?  Don't worry, I won't say anything.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Why not?

[SPEECH: OfficeGuy]
I'm just a civilian contractor here for a short job.  No way I'm going to play hero.  Not today.  In fact, I may be able to help you if you're looking for the same thing I've been wondering about.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
What would that be?

[SPEECH: OfficeGuy]
You don't know?  Jeez, I hope you're not really here to assassinate the President like they're saying.  I don't know, maybe I shouldn't tell you any more.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Got no assassinations on today's agenda.

[SPEECH: OfficeGuy]
I can tell you what I know and even give you an access code, but you've got to do something for me first.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
How did I know you were going to say that?

[SPEECH: OfficeGuy]
General Hammond keeps a daily diary in his office safe.  I'd love to take a peek and see if my suspicions have any merit, but he's got a security camera on it 24/7 and I don't want to get fired.  Get back to me with something juicy from his diary and then we'll talk.

[SPEECH: OfficeGuy]
His office is right across the hall.  I managed to acquire the code for the door: 8328.

[NOTE:]
The code to General Hammond's office is 8328.

[SPEECH: OfficeGuy]
You wondering why a general has the same size office as a contractor?  Mead's military budget cuts.  Funny that he's now reversing his decisions on that.  It's like he's not the same person he was last year.

[SPEECH: OfficeGuy]
Government conspiracies.  Abductions.  Secret technology.  It all sounds like stuff from one of those wacky paranoid web sites.  If I find out any of it is real, I'm going to have a hard time sleeping at night.

[SPEECH: OfficeGuy]
Did you get find anything good?

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Hammond thinks there's something strange going on related to a maintenance corridor.  Something about ventilation maintenance in a tunnel.

[SPEECH: OfficeGuy]
Excellent.  That confirms it.  I've heard rumors about that since I've been working here.  I think they're hiding something down there.  I'm going to check it out one of these days.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Knock yourself out.  But you'd be getting yourself in way too deep.

[SPEECH: OfficeGuy]
Sounds like you know some things.  Well I'll tell you what else I've heard.  Major Vaughn told me a story when I first got here.  At first I thought he was just messing with me.  But now...

[SPEECH: OfficeGuy]
Now I'm not sure.  OK, so he starts with the classic Roswell UFO landing, right?  So right off the bat, I'm rolling my eyes, but I had just started here, so I humor him and listen to the whole story.

[SPEECH: OfficeGuy]
Says his grandfather was a scientist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory at the time of the supposed landing in 1947.  Worked on neutrino detection methods or something.

[SPEECH: OfficeGuy]
So get this.  An alien survives the landing and an Air Force rescue team finds him.  They bring him to Los Alamos.  They figure the eggheads there can figure out what to do with him, right?

[SPEECH: OfficeGuy]
A few select scientists, including Grandpa Vaughn, were given special security clearance and worked with the alien, which they nicknamed EBE-1.  EBE means extraterrestrial biological entity.  I guess "alien" wasn't fancy enough for those smart guys.

[SPEECH: OfficeGuy]
So anyway, they managed to work out a communication system and that's when some government people got involved.  EBE-1 made a deal that the aliens would provide the U.S. government with advanced technology.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
In return for?

[SPEECH: OfficeGuy]
In return for covering up the fact that the aliens even existed and for looking the other way when they needed the occasional human to experiment on.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
What kind of experiments?

[SPEECH: OfficeGuy]
Vaughn didn't know.  But get this.  He claims that in 1959 the aliens made good on their part of the bargain.  They delivered some of their technological toys to this base.  Yeah, right here at Holloman.  Supposedly the Air Force has been attempting to reverse-engineer that stuff ever since.

[SPEECH: OfficeGuy]
Said that the integrated circuit, stealth technology, and much of our nanotechnology stems from their findings.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Before today, I'd say that was a bunch of BS.

[SPEECH: OfficeGuy]
But now?

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Let's just say that today I have an open mind about these things.

[SPEECH: OfficeGuy]
Tell you what.  You helped me out, so here's the key to Vaughn's office cabinet.  Maybe something in there will help you.  His office is right next door.

Hello, Mr. President.

[SPEECH: PhilipMead]
What the...?

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Thuban to Polaris, Aries to Aquarius.

[SPEECH: PhilipMead]
I feel... strange... what is... happening...?

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Your disorientation should clear in a few seconds.

[SPEECH: PhilipMead]
Where... where am I?  And who the hell are you?

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Mr. President, my name is Paul Denton.  You're at Holloman Air Force Base.  I have reason to believe that you've been under the influence of some sort of mind control for some time now.

[SPEECH: PhilipMead]
Mind control?  That's ridiculous.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Take a look at your watch.

[SPEECH: PhilipMead]
Somebody's playing a trick on me.  They've set the date on my watch ahead eight months.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
I take it you don't remember your decision to give Taiwan weapons-grade plutonium?

[SPEECH: PhilipMead]
Are you insane?  I would never allow something like that.  We support Taiwan's desire for independence, but we do not arm other nations with material for creating nuclear weapons.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
You'll realize what's going on soon enough.  At least I know that you're in control of yourself again.

[SPEECH: PhilipMead]
This is unbelievable.  Do you know who is behind this?

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
I do know something about the, uh, "people" who are directly responsible.  But frankly, sir, you wouldn't believe me if I told you.  I do have reason to believe that an organization called ZODIAC is also involved, however.

[SPEECH: PhilipMead]
For now I'll at least order everybody to stand down.

[SPEECH: PhilipMead]
I'm going to go out on a limb here and take the chance that you've got the country's best interests in mind.  Hell, possibly even the world's.  Here, take this key.  It'll grant you Seraphic/8X clearance, which will let you get past any military security up to level Red 9.  I hope it does you some good.

[SPEECH: PhilipMead]
I've heard rumors of a top secret lab somewhere down here, but I have not been able to get specific information on it.  It's pretty frightening when things are hidden from even the Commander-in-Chief.

[GOAL:]
Find the secret lab.

[SPEECH: PaulDenton]
Thank you.  Sir, I believe you are in danger here.  A number of ZODIAC personnel managed to infiltrate this bunker and I'd bet they're not happy that you're no longer being... influenced.

[SPEECH: PhilipMead]
In that case, I better get to my secured quarters.  We call it the panic room.  I could use some assistance.
