Syndicate Wars Hints

Mission REF 9: New York

• MISSION OBJECTIVE: Persuade Jennifer Task
  
  BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
  A new syndicate in New York, the NAA (New Atlantic Alliance), is posing a threat to us. Jennifer Task, an Ex-EuroCorp media chief, is using her privileges to locate scientists for the NAA. And she is very successful. We want her to join us, and we want to know where she gets her scientists. The centre's security is tight; you will have to persuade someone who leaves the centre, to obtain a pass to get inside.
  
  MISSION TACTICS:
  This Mission is packed with flying cars and roads. It's quite overwhelming and you will have to deal with the cars first before you can start with your Mission objective.
  
  But first things first. We have to persuade a citizen to gain access to Jennifer's place. On the road to this building you'll encounter some operatives, which can easily be taken out with miniguns or long-range rifles. However, a taxi car will land containing some more operatives, and a flying car will attack you with pulse lasers. First take out the operatives on foot because their hit rate is much higher. Switch to long range rifles if you want to destroy the flying car and hide in a building (or in a small alley) to recover. It will take about 8 shots.
  
  Our target is in a building. It seems to be safe, but as soon as you near the target, three ex-EuroCorp agents and some operatives will appear and will start to attack you. Take out the nearest EuroCorp agent with the long-range rifle, and then switch to the minigun. The dead agent will drop a high explosive, and this will kill all other enemies including the two other EuroCorp agents who were also carrying explosives. If the agent died too close to the building of our target, pick up the high explosive because a dead person can not be persuaded.
  
  You can also find a parked car near the building. You can use it as transportation, but beware: there's an operative around who carries a clone shield. In other words: he looks like a c-citizen. He/She will drop a high explosive as you near the car. Take him/her out with the long-range rifle. You can recognise him/her because he will start to run towards you as you near the car. If you killed him/her, pick up the high explosive that he/she wanted to drop, and also take the clone shield. This weapon is not very useful in this mission, but you'll be glad to use it in REF 15.
  
  Persuade our target, and take the car. You can leave the persuaded person behind; it doesn't matter if he gets killed now. We have got the pass, so who cares?
  
  There are two roads that lead upwards: one to an area where another flying vehicle is parked and the other one to the area where Jennifer and lots of policemen are located. If you just drive into this last area, flying cars from everywhere will crush you. The easiest way to complete this Mission is to take out the cars first. Outside the Jennifer-area, on the ground level, there's a bank guarded with three agents. Take out the guards. Four flying police cars will appear. You can take them out with the long-range rifles or pulse lasers, and hide in the bank if you need to recover. Repeat this until the four cars are destroyed.
  
  Place a high explosive in the bank and pick up the 700000 credits in the three suitcases. Two flying cars left. Take the other road going upwards, drive into the area and take out the flying car with the long-range rifles. Don't stay in the car, because if it gets destroyed you won't be able to leave this area. (If you lose your car elsewhere, there are 2 other cars in town you can drive: a yellow car and a Bullfrog car.)
  
  When every car is destroyed, it's finally time to drive towards Jennifer. You must enter it by car: A high explosive would blow up the entrance, but also the road and you with it. You can park the car just before the entrance and the doors will open. Take out the nearest policemen (who are still unaware of your presence) with the long-range rifle. If you drive into the area, other policemen will start to fire on you. Drive far enough into the area, otherwise the automatic laser guns on the entrance will make you an easy target.
  
  The policemen and the ex-EuroCorp agents can very easily be taken out with the miniguns. It's now a safe walk to Jennifer (who's behind the last building). Persuade her to come with you and take the flying police car parked near here to fly to the IML point
