Quest Group: Main Missions
Type: Albion Mission
Prerequisites: To play this mission, you must first complete the mission Bloody Mary Kelley.
This is the first mission of Albion chapter - "Zero Tolerance" and you will be able to play it after completing mission "Bloody Mary Kelley".
With their investigation into Mary Kelley's operation put on hold, Dedsec opted to look into Albion's role in the Zero-Day terror attack. Bagley found a possible ally who could be useful in uncovering Albion's plans; a former Albion employee who was once close to CEO Nigel Cass.
Get to the safehouse and listen to Bagley’s pitch, then contact this ex-Albion insider.
Hamish's Flat
London
Return to the safe house to discuss with the rest of the team members there. During the meeting you will learn about a former co-worker of Nigel Cass, who can be useful to you. You will decide to find him.
Head to Battlebridge Basin. When you get there you will have to get near the ctOS hub that is standing on the roof of one of the buildings. To do this you can use two window cleaning platforms.
When you get to the roof then approach the hub and deploy the rootkit.
You will gain access to the camera inside the apartment where you will notice a trap for uninvited guests. To deactivate it, hack the tablet and then solve the network bypass. To gain access to all the nodes of the puzzle you will have to switch to the camera mounted under the ceiling.
Walk up to the edge of the roof and your character will jump down into the water below. Swim to the other side of the marina and approach the door to enter the Hamish's Flat.
Once inside the apartment, you will be able to talk to Hamish for a while using the computer.
Unfortunately, your conversation will be interrupted by the arrival of Albion soldiers. Your character will leap outside through the balcony and Hamish will remotely blow up his apartment.
When you regain control of your character, the Albion soldiers will be approaching you. You must try to lose the enemies (soldiers, drones, etc.) chasing you and stay hidden until they stop looking for you. Start by quickly moving away from your location. You can for example try to find a car and use it to get away, but be prepared that patrols will appear on the streets.
You can also try to hide in a backstreet or somewhere like that and wait there for the end of the hunt. Skills that allow you to deactivate searching drones will be very useful during your escape. I might have just been lucky but I managed to lose the pursuit very fast after hiding on the scaffolding in the backalley of the nearby marina and deactivating one of the drones that got too close to me. Then I flew away safely on a cargo drone which can be called there.
The mission will end even if your agent is caught. In that case you just have to switch to another operative. When this mission is completed you will automatically receive the next one - "Inside Albion".
After completing this mission, you will be able to play the mission Inside Albion.
