Finale: ...Doesn't Mean You Should.

Briefing

Character, I've had to make a lot of very difficult moral choices in my time as a physician and scientist. I've had to weigh the life of one patient against another, question the implications of my research more times than I can remember, and even struggle with the bliss a lie can give, versus the dread the truth can cause.

But this... this is a crossroads for me. On the one hand we have here the chance to give the Resistance control of the Ghouls, turn them against Cole's forces and gain the edge we need in this ideological war. But to do so would invalidate everything we are fighting for. We don't even know for sure who the Ghouls are, or where they came from. To use them as our enemies would is both immoral and unthinkable.

  • Ask Steffard what he wants to do.

There is no choice to be made. The data needs to be destroyed. If I take it, no matter what good I might be able to do with it, I would eventually feel pressured to use it as intended, a weapon.

I want you to go back to M.I.C.I.R. and delete the data and any Seers that may be equipped with devices similar to the one implanted in Seer 0293.

Speaking of which, Rebecca is awake and doing well. She asked me to thank you for freeing her from the network. It will be some time before she is herself again. In the meantime I'm going to try and find her family.

Those Loyalists who are truly loyal to the safety and peace of Praetoria would do well to speak with Provost Marchand about events that are happening.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Remember, you'll need to delete the data not only from the main database, but any Seers possessing prototypes of the technology will have to be eliminated.

Mission Objective(s)

Map: P_Tech_Bio_45_Layout_01_01

Security has been heightened since your last visit.

  • Raid M.I.C.I.R.
    • 4 experimental seers to defeat
    • Destroy Data

You destroyed the data from the M.I.C.I.R. database, ensuring that Seer controlled Ghouls won't be a reality, at least, not anytime soon.

Data Destroyed
Dr. Steffard believes that this data is better off being destroyed, rather than allowing it to fall into the wrong hands.

If you contacted Provost Marchand

  • (Copy all files, then delete them.)
Using a wireless transfer device, you quickly copy the files from the computer, then go through the laborious process of deleting all copies and revisions of the data.
  • Leave

Unnecessary Solicitation

You've already deleted the files you were sent here to delete.

  • Leave


Debriefing

Ah, Character, you've returned successful I trust... That's good. That's very good...

You can tell something is disturbing the doctor immensely, so you inquire as to what's wrong.

Rebecca, Seer 0293, she's dead... They sent a kill signal to her. I... I couldn't save her. If only I'd removed all of the implants instead of researching that accursed Ghoul control implant, then she'd still be alive...

No. No! This is not my fault! I didn't pull the trigger, I didn't do anything but help that girl. Whoever is behind that wretched control technology is responsible, not me...

From now on, Character, I'm going to do whatever it takes to make sure that the Seers are in control of their own lives. Nobody will ever choose when they live or die but themselves.
