Detailed Walkthrough
I need to get to the outpost near the zone B-27 border, where the mobilization was announced. Captain Riebel will meet me at the field headquarters to share the details of the operation with me.

Colonel Sabra has announced the start of Operation Whirlpool. I'm not sure how I ought to feel about it, but our unit will have a special role in it. While the main forces will be purging the zone downward, we need to descend to the maintenance level. Our task is to cut off the escape routes for the People's Wrath extremists, who were presumed to be involved with the explosion in Limb. Captain Riebel will take me to the entrance into the shaft.

We've descended into the maintenance level safely. Our objective is to find evidence of the extremists' presence.

We didn't have to search for long. We became involuntary witnesses to a video broadcast by the leader of People's Wrath being watched eagerly by a few ghetters. We need to scope out the situation.

I need to talk to Anerakh, the assault squad commander, to find out what is going on.

It turns out that the extremists have a much bigger influence on what's going on than what was thought at HQ. They managed to activate the emergency operating mode meant for situations when the zone is depressurized and block most of the doors. Now we cannot rely on backup from the surface. We need to find the Control Node and turn off emergency mode.

I have managed to turn off emergency mode, but the rebel leader still managed to escape. I need to get to the central elevators and report the results of the operation to Colonel Sabra.

Colonel Sabra announced the end of Operation Whirlpool. She doesn't expect the results of the operation to please the Autonomy Council, which is the reason for her sour mood. Sabra thinks that the Ordinate has ended up in a very unenviable position. Now the Committee will use every opportunity to overthrow the position of the General Command on the Council.
