Scene summaries may contain spoilers
1
Amelia has sent you to a server site which allows Veronica to control things nearby, including the water treatment plant. Someone is going to sabotage it today. There have been attacks on multiple sits containing copies of Veronica, and intelligence suggests this is where the next one will be. You're going to let the hacker strike and then shadow them to find out who they're working for. One of the sentry guns just went down, and they must have set up a transmitter to jam signals. Follow them!
2
The hacker may have spotted you and will probably try to lose you where the canal branches into tunnels downstream. Follow the path along the canal. There are many theories about the attacker, but Amelia suspects someone else; with so many small fires, nobody notices an arsonist. She suspects Valmont, and is sure that Slava is working for him. Be careful on the gantry, Five! Valmont is a collector, and for a collector, nothing is ever enough. Amelia has to leave to give a eulogy, but keep following the hacker.
3
Amelia is back and she's spotted the hacker entering a tunnel up ahead. You follow, but Amelia cuts out, and Slava takes over the radio. She warns you that there's a V-type on your tail but she will help you out... for a price. Look for a service door and follow the stairs up. Run!
4
You reach the motorway and the abandoned cars should slow down the V-type. Slava wonders what you're doing out there. She thinks you got played. She talks about how Valmont pays better than New Canton and you don't owe anything to Amelia. You know how to survive on your own. The Marfield barrier is ahead. If you climb over it, you'll lose the V-type.
5
You start to climb over the barrier, and Slava says that barriers like that make people complacent. Did you know that V-types can climb? Because this one is following you. Safety in numbers just makes you a bigger meal and– You can hear the sound of the funeral procession, and Slava says you're leading the V-type right to them. There's a McShell lane ahead, the concrete still wet. You can trap the V-type there.
6
You reach the special lane which uses sound to lure zombies in. You jump the barrier and the V-type gets stuck in the wet concrete. Of course you're stuck in the tunnel too. There should be a ladder but it seems to have been removed. And the concrete is flooding the tunnel. Sorry Five, she'd prefer a bullet to the head, but that would be too suspicious. Slava is intercepting all of Amelia's reports, and once you and Zoe are out of the picture, even Amelia will come round. Just think of this as becoming part of something bigger. As the concrete engulfs you, you hear Slava calling for help.
