= Brea III = == Ups and Downs == === Set Spatial Charges === ''Tactical Officer:'' {{missiontext| Sir, the Romulans are trying to jam transporters, and there's a lot of ... particle leakage from the Iconian technology here. I can't identify the type of particles yet, but ... the rest of the senior staff are reporting in from different locations. Apparently the transporters are being diverted. You're on your own for the moment. Scans show that parts of the settlement are locked down with force fields. You'll have to disable them or find ways around them. Be ready, sir. Hakeev will be somewhere well-defended. {{missiongoal|Set charges at critical areas and find Hakeev.}} }} Proceed west, into the city. As you exit the square, you will be contacted by your ship again. <div class="leftcolumn"> '''Federation''' ''Tactical Officer:'' {{missiontext| Looks like the Romulans are using force fields and construction supplies to choke off access points. The Tal Shiar must have detected us in orbit and they've put the base on emergency lockdown. Our orbital scans show that a lot of these buildings have catwalks and balconies. You may be able to use those to get over some of the walls and barricades. Some of our tactical teams made it to the surface with beachhead equipment. You may be able to get support from them. Romulan ships will be here soon, though, so we'll have to raise the ''<Shipname>'''s shields and won't be able to use transporters. Good luck, Captain. }} </div> <div class="rightcolumn"> '''Klingon''' ''Tactical Officer:'' {{missiontext| Looks like the Romulans are using force fields and construction supplies to choke off access points. The Tal Shiar must have detected us in orbit and they've put the base on emergency lockdown. Our orbital scans show that a lot of these buildings have catwalks and balconies. You may be able to use those to get over some of the walls and barricades. Some of our tactical teams made it to the surface with beachhead equipment. You may be able to get support from them. Romulan ships will be here soon, though, so we'll have to raise the ''<Shipname>'''s shields and won't be able to use transporters. Fight with honor, Captain. }} </div> {{clear}} You will encounter a single Romulan Technician as you exit the square, which is not much of a combat challenge. Proceeding forward, you come to a courtyard with a fountain. There are a number of Romulans here, and you have the option to call for reinforcements if you would like. A group of NPCs from your faction will beam in and assist you in fighting the Romulans if you do. Once you have defeated the Romulans, any reinforcements you called in will beam out again. Set first spatial charge on the wall of a building on the North side of the courtyard. ''Tactical Officer:'' {{missiontext| That's the first charge, sir. I've downloaded virtual markers to your HUD that will show you where to go to place additional charges. }} You can utilize the virtual guide path to show you where you should be going. Your next destination requires you to climb up stairs to top of building. Once you reach the rooftop, an ambush of Romulans beams in to attack you. They are easy enough to defeat without calling for help (which is good, since you don't have that option here) After defeating this group of Romulans, your ship will contact you with an optional mission objective. ''Tactical Officer:'' {{missiontext| Sir, Romulans are massing reserves in multiple locations around the base. The ''<Shipname>'' is in synchronous orbit, Captain. We can provide fire support if you supply target coordinates. {{missiongoal|Call for orbital fire from high vantage points (optional).}} }} Proceed along the catwalks, passing over a square containing a group of Remans battling Romulans. Assist them from on high if you desire. At the end of the catwalk is the top of a rotunda, where you can place second spatial charge. ''Tactical Officer:'' {{missiontext| There's another catwalk on the other side of this rotunda. }} Head around the rotunda to the right and you'll find the first orbital strike location, indicated by a holographic starship silhuette. Go to that location and call in the orbital strike. A cutscene shows some Scorpion fighters on a nearby rooftop being taken out. Continue following the guide path, which leads to the new catwalk and down, though partway down the stairway there is a landing that leads up to the roof of another building. Following the guide path takes you down the stairs and into another courtyard; heading up the stairs will trigger the optional Engineering objective (see below); you can do this now, or tackle it later when you will have to cross that rooftop anyway. There is combat taking place in the alleys leading away from the courtyard. ''Tactical Officer:'' {{missiontext| To the right, ground level -- our scans indicate that the building houses a data facility. }} Place the third spatial charge on the wall of the data facility. Romulans will beam in to attack you once you have completed this task, but you can request additional support to deal with them. Once you are done, fight your way West down the alley and around the corner to the South. There will be numerous groups of Remans and Romulans battling each other in the alleys and squares. Lend what assistance you want as you proceed. At the base of a large tower, place the final spatial charge. === [Engineering] Remodulate Weather Controller to Depolarize Gravitic Lift (Optional) === Atop one of the buildings is a weather controller; it is located roughly between the locations you place the third and fourth spatial charges, and is accessible via several stairs which lead up to it from several directions. If you have not done it already, the next set of objectives in the hunt for Hakeev will take you directly across this rooftop, so you will have the opportunity to do it then. When you reach the rooftop, a Scorpion fighter will fly overhead, blasting one of the catwalks with a photon torpedo, causing it to catch fire. Engineering captains can hurry to the weather controller console and remodulate it before the Scorpion fighter comes around for another pass. All members of the team will receive the accolade {{accolade|Gravity Kills}}, and the weather controller will interfere with the Scorpion fighter as it fires another photon torpedo at the weather controller console area. If you are able to shoot down the Scorpion fighter, either using the weather controller or doing sufficient damage to it (or both), you will receive the accolade {{accolade|Grounded}}. === Find a Way to Reach Hakeev === ==== Scan for Hakeev ==== You now need to figure out how to reach Hakeev. Perform a quick scan to locate him. ''Science Officer:'' {{missiontext| Hakeev's in the promenade outside of a building Southwest of your location -- but you're separated from him by one of those force fields. There's an access gate on the walkway, but you'll need to disable the force field. If you create a massive power draw at one of the other large facilities, it should temporarily disrupt the field. If you get back on the rooftops, it will give you a better vantage point. {{missiongoal|Reroute power to disable one of the force fields.}} }} ==== Disable Force Field by Drawing Power Away ==== Head up to the rooftops and go North; note that a force field prevents you from proceeding South anyway. The first rooftop you reach will be the one holding the weather controller, where you can complete the optional Engineering objective if you have not done so yet (see above). Proceed across this rooftop and take another catwalk North to the roof of the data center building. Use the console atop the data center to queue a power drain. ''Science Officer:'' {{missiontext| The data center is now drawing emergency power. The force field is compromised! }} ''Engineering Officer:'' {{missiontext| Sir, Hakeev's in a reinforced section of the base. You'll need an access chip or else the doors won't open. We're reading a forward observer team on the highest building in your area. If you can get the officer's access chip, that should get you into the heart of the base. {{missiongoal|Acquire an access chip from a Romulan officer.}} }} A number of Romulans will beam onto the roof of a building to the North of the data center and begin attacking you. You cannot get over to that rooftop, but it is in range of your weapons. You can engage in a firefight with the Romulans, or ignore them and run, but the most effective way of dealing with it is to destroy the Scorpion fighter that is parked on the rooftop next to the Romulans. It will explode, taking all the Romulans out, and grant everyone on the team the {{accolade|Shooting Romulans in a Barrel}} accolade. ==== Acquire an Access Chip from a Romulan Officer ==== The forcefield that prevents you from proceeding to Hakeev's location in the South should now be down. Retrace your steps and follow the guide path to top of the building on which you placed the final spatial charge. Here you will find the location from which to call in the second orbital strike. Call in the strike and watch a cutscene of the orbital strike incinerating a Heavy Disruptor Turret and the Romulans standing nearby. Climb up to the top of a large building just East of where you called in the orbital strike, and take out the Romulans there. You can call in support if you need it. One of the officers will have the access chip you need. ''Engineering Officer:'' {{missiontext| You should be able to use the officer's ID chip to bypass the security lock on the access gate in front of the central plaza. Hakeev is directing defense operations from there. }} === Defeat Hakeev and His Guards === Follow the guide path, retracing your steps back around and down. Take a catwalk heading South and you will reach some stairs leading back to the ground. ''Tactical Officer:'' {{missiontext| You're in the section with Hakeev's personal offices. He should be just ahead! }} You'll have to fight your way through some Romulans that are engaged in battling Remans at the foot of the stairs however. Take an alleyway running South towards the arched entrance to a large paved square. As you approach this square, which contains Hakeev and his guards, you will be hailed from your ship. ''<Shipname>'': {{missiontext| We have a problem up here, Captain. Over the past few minutes, the ship has started to suffer a series of cascading system failures. It's nothing serious yet, but it looks like we're being hit by an Iconian virus. We'll purge the computer memory and restore from archives, but that will take some time and we'll continue to have system problems until the work is complete. Even if it works, Hakeev can simply send another virus our way. You'll need to find and destroy the Iconian transmitter before the ''<Shipname>'' will be secure, sir. {{missiongoal|Defeat Hakeev and then locate and destroy the Iconian technology.}} }} As you enter the square and approach Hakeev, a cutscene will precede your confrontation. Hakeev: {{missiontext| As much as A would relish the opportunity to explain my strategies, I'm afraid the subtleties would be lost on you. A lowly being such as yourself cannot even recongnize the true power the Iconians represent -- and that any future will depend on a place in their regime. As the Borg would state, 'resistance... is futile.' }} Fight Hakeev and his guards. You can call in support to assist you. Watch out for his use of Thalaron mines. Once all his guards are down, another cutscene will play as Hakeev calls for reinforcements of his own. Hakeev: {{missiontext| Fool, I can call as many reenforcements as I need. }} Obisek: {{missiontext| Not now. My ship has placed an interference field around this plaza. It's over. }} Hakeev's reinforcements have beamed in, but so have Obisek and a group of Remans as well. Battle until all the Romulans, including Hakeev, are down. === Check Hakeev === Once the Romulans are all down, go search Hakeev's body. ''Hakeev:'' {{missiontext| {{missionnote|Hakeev is too badly injured to speak. He struggles only for a moment before he is finally still.<br><br>His PADD is tightly encrypted, but the file that is open references an Iconian gateway only a dozen meters from this very plaza.}} }} Once you have acquired Hakeev's PADD, the camera pulls back for a cutscene as Hakeev expires. {{missiontext| {{missionnote|Hakeev end comes without any desperate speech or furious diatribe.<br><br>As his plans collapse around him, only silence follows him into oblivion.}} }} === Speak with Obisek === Now that things have quieted down a bit, have a word with Obisek. ''Obisek:'' {{missiontext| The road to Reman independence will be long and bloody, but this is a significant step. While I do not seek your approval of my methods, the crossing of our paths has been fortuitous. It's a pity you cannot aid us further in our liberation. You have my respect, and the respect of my crew. If in the future we encounter one another again as allies, I would find this ... gratifying. I must return to the Zdenia. I recommend you finish what you came to do, and leave quickly. }} Obisek and his guards beam out, leaving you to deal with the Iconian gate. The Iconian gate is located inside a building on the East side of the square. The Science optional objective is located opposite this, on the West side. You can perform them in whatever order you like, but dealing with the Iconian virus before blowing everything up, rather than after, seems to make a little more sense... === [Science] Deploy a Worm to Overwrite Iconian Computer Virus (Optional) === Enter the building and you'll find an alien console. ''Science Officer:'' {{missiontext| That's an Iconian interface -- maybe you can use it to counteract the Iconian virus! }} Science captains can use the Iconian interface to deploy a worm to counteract the virus. All members of the team receive the {{accolade|Worms}} accolade. === Plant Spatial Charges on Iconian Gate === ''Tactical Officer:'' {{missiontext| Sir, our analysis of Hakeev's PADD shows references to his use of Iconian gates, and he's been receiving messages from the Iconians as well. He must have a gate in this facility; you have to find and destroy it! {{missiongoal|Find the Iconian gate and use spatial charges to destroy it.}} }} ''Science Officer:'' {{missiontext| We've located the Iconian computer systems. They're in a research room near the courtyard -- just back the way you came. }} Stay where you killed Hakeev, just Head back toward where you entered the square. ''Science Officer:'' {{missiontext| Now that you have Hakeev's PADD and his access codes, you can get into these research areas! }} Enter the building to the East (white doors for science, blue doors for tactical). A single Romulan Technician sees you... ''Technician:'' {{missiontext|Hnaev!}} ...and runs into the Iconian gateway, vanishing. Plant the spatial charges on the gateway and head back to the plaza. === [Delta Recruit] Scan the Iconian Gate === [[File:Delta_objective.png]] ''Temporal Agent Phillip Crey:'' {{missiontext| Hakeev was trying to use that gateway to escape. It was set for a location in the Delta Quadrant, but our sensors haven't shown anything in that area but empty space? Obviously, there is something there. I'll make sure we send a ship to check it out. }} === Return to Plaza for Beam Out === A cutscene shows a massive archway in the plaza to actually be... the second largest Iconian gate you have ever seen. {{missiontext| The arch... it's a huge Iconian Gate! }} === Order Bombardment === ''Science Officer:'' {{missiontext| Sir, we have your coordinates but we can't beam you up until the gate is destroyed. We're still getting strange interference. We are prepared to destroy the large Iconian gate with an orbital bombardment. We'll target the warhead yield, but you should get to an area away from the blast. {{missiongoal|Reach a safe distance and call in bombardment to destroy the large gate.}} }} Head to a safe location before you call in the bombardment; there is a sheltered spot amongst the rubble in the South-west corner of the plaza. Once your team has reached this safe location, the holographic ship silhuette which indicates you can call in an orbital strike will appear. Call in that strike, and a cutscene will show the arch being destroyed by a salvo of photon torpedoes. ==== Return to Ship ==== ''Science Officer:'' {{missiontext| With the gate destroyed, we can get a lock and beam you up whenever you're ready, sir. }} Beam back up to your ship and you can deal with the huge space battle that is now brewing above Brea III
