Scenes[]
Tense Birdy
You've arrived back in the UK with Maxine and, along with Ernie, you're approaching the house of Ernest Van Ark. Maxine isn't happy about trusting Ernie, but right now Valmont is the bigger problem. Valmont is controlling the Green Types with tones, and he probably stole that idea from Van Ark. You create a zip line over the gorge and approach the house where Slava meets you. She is looking for the same thing you are, but she doesn't trust and she will shoot if she has to.
Options Open
The house is prompting Ernie's memories of Van Ark. Valmont speaks to you through Van Ark's surveillance system. He's sending Green Types to the house. He tells Slava that if she kills you, he'll spare her. She's keeping her options open.
Elephant Statues
There are a couple of Van Ark's fast zoms left in the house and Valmont is calling them with the tones. Get moving!
Access Granted
Ernie leads you to a false wall in the library which leads to a vault door. It accepts Ernie's handprint but declares his voice print insufficient. You have thirty seconds before the floor is doused in acid, and the Green Types and fast zoms are rapidly approaching. Slava shoots Ernie's arm which gets him angry, which is apparently the key to opening the vault. You grab a tone box and attempt to use it against the zoms, but it doesn't seem to work. Head up to the roof!
Thin the Herd
Ernie thinks the tone box requires an amplifier, and Maxine thinks you can use the comms shack at Abel since Amelia had it linked to every repeater station in the country. Valmont tries to sweet-talk Slava, but she is being her own boss now. She's leaving, and taking some of the stuff from the house as payment. Don't follow her.
Trust
You're on a turret roof and Ranger Five is on the other side of the gorge. You strap the tone box to a drone and send it over. It won't take the Green Types long to climb this high so you have to trust your friends to move quickly.
