10: Air Base - Espionage

Mission 5: Air Base - Espionage Air Base Espionage: Overview 1: Obtain disguise and enter base 2: Check in equipment 3: Subvert Security monotoring system 4: Obtain flight plans from safe 5: Board Air Force One Background - Trent Easton has flown to meet the President at the air base in Alaska preparing for the President's foreign visit. From the evidence gathered in Chicago, we assume that this is the start of his move against the President, and as such, it must be prevented. DetErest - A mission where you start off stealthy and then posing as an innocent stewardess. But mere seconds after completing your third objective, the music shifts, and it's an all out blood bath, in a race to complete the level, alive. Your biggest challenge of course, will be the heavily armed guards that attack you with high power K7 Avengers. About the best trick to eliminating them, is staying far behind a corner, and sniping them with head shots with your scope. There are also two exits to this level: Boarding the Air Force One through the underbelly, which is difficult, avoiding guards, and flickering laser grids, but will save you a few seconds in the next level to earn the cheat. Or the safer method, and most practical, entering the Air Force one from above. I prefer the second method.   You'll start at the side of the base. Strafe around the corner, to shoot this guard waiting in an inlet with your crossbow. Next, head out, past the base's door, and into the inlet after that, to nail the guard before he hits the alarm. Turn around, and another guard will be ahead, somewhere. Take him out, and head forward, into the tunnel visible in the left screenshot. The stewardess is a woman dressed in blue, and she is normally accompanied by two Alaskan Guards. You can shoot her with your crossbow, as long as you use the first function, which is sedate. Always use Sedate, as you'll fail the mission for killing too many guards. Pick up the up the bag that the stewardess drops. Switch to unarmed, and select the disguise to wear. Objective 1: Complete. Head back, and this time you may enter the base. A secretary and two armed guards await, but as you are "the stewardess", they greet you. Head left, and up the elevator, which is near a small side entrance to the base. At the top of the elevator, two men in suits sit around a table. Punch them both out, and grab the suitcase that is at the end of the room. You'll need this suitcase on Secret Agent and above. Head back downstairs, to where the secretary is at the desk. Enter the door behind the two guards, look around the corner, and switch to your DrugSpy. Knock off the guard who is right ahead, then take the escalator to the right. At the bottom is an NSA Lackey dressed in black to shoot, and a patrolling white guard is nearby. The white Alaskan Guards will sometimes shoot and destroy the DrugSpy, so be careful. Also, for this method, you'll only have two spare shots, so don't miss more than twice with the DrugSpy. Head across the room, and into another hall, turning right at the intersection. Another guard patrols this hall. At the end, head up the stairs, and shoot the NSA Lackey dressed in black first, then shoot the white Alaskan Guard. Leave the DrugSpy, and return to Joanna's eyes, by pressing "B". As Joanna now, head forward, and down the escalator straight ahead. A guard patrols this area, so knock him out from behind. Find the conveyor belt on the ground, and throw your newly acquired suitcase on it. Objective 2: Complete. You must move quickly now to complete your next objective, or fail the mission. Back up, and head forward, into this brightly lit hallway. Exiting the hallway, leads you into the big room where you drugged the Lackey at the bottom of the stairs. Be sure to grab his gun, as well as the gun of any other nearby guards you knocked out, and quickly head right at the next hall's intersection, and up the stairs. Being fast is critical, because you must shut down the security monitoring system that will scan your suitcase. Be sure to switch to armed after recovering a weapon. Up the stairs, grab the guns from those fallen guards, and deactivate the computer there by pressing "B". Objective 3: Complete. This is where the tempo of the level changes. Race down the stairs, and head straight through the intersection, to the dead end with the elevator, killing the NSA Lackey who awaits at the end. Turn around, and paste the guards who round the corner. Head shots are important, with your high power weapons you can easily take care of the swarming guards. The flow of guards will eventually stop, and you can head back to the big room with the escalators. Just step in, fire a few shots at a guard, and retreat, ready to knock off the guards as they chase you around the corner. Guards also await at the top of the escalator, so be sure to get their attention as well. Once the coast is clear, head back to the escalator room, and through the door visible in the left screenshot. You'll go through a hall, then a room, and another hall with an elevator door at the end. Head into the last entrance of this hall, and lure the guards into the hallway where you can easily kill them. Head into that doorway, and into another room, to find a mine placed on a door. Shoot the mine from a safe distance, and it will shatter the glass on both sides. You can now crouch to get inside the windows, and activate the switch on the wall to open the safe, and collect the flight plans from the safe. Objective 4: Complete. Head back to the hall, and take the elevator down. There are a few different exit points, and if you end up on the bottom floor, you'll be facing the Air Force One, with the backs of some guards. Don't step out, but just head back up a floor, until you reach this area, in the right screenshot. From there, you just exit the elevator, and head left, to find yourself on a bridge leading to the Air Force One. Just step inside to exit the level. Objective 5: Complete.
