Hong Kong



Hong Kong is a location visited in Deus Ex.

It is composed of three main locations: the canal, Wan Chai market, and Tonnochi road. Other areas of interest include the MJ12 Helibase, Lucky Money nightclub and the VersaLife and MJ12 administrative and research facilities.

Events in Deus Ex
UNATCO originally intended to send JC Denton to Hong Kong to assassinate Tracer Tong. Events involving Jock and Paul Denton led JC Denton to learn of MJ12 and the true purpose of UNATCO. As such, JC Denton's primary motivation for making his way to Hong Kong is to meet Tracer Tong who he hopes will be able to disable his recently activated killswitch.

JC Denton first lands in the MJ12 Helibase. Jock's helicopter's navigation computer is overridden and directed to land at the helibase. JC Denton must disable the weapon lock before making his way out of the helibase and to the rest of Hong Kong.

After making his way out of the helibase, JC Denton must find Tracer Tong. Tracer Tong is inside the Luminous Path compound, inside his laboratory to the east of the Wan Chai market. After speaking to Gordon Quick, JC Denton learns that he must recover the Dragon's Tooth Sword to be given access to the compound and to meet Tracer Tong. The sword is found in a small hidden MJ12 facility hidden behind Maggie Chow's apartment.

After recovering the sword JC Denton is given access to the compound, is able to speak to Tracer Tong and have his killswitch deactivated and is offered the opportunity to share drinks with Gordon Quick and Max Chen, the dragon heads of the Luminous Path and the Red Arrow.

JC Denton's next mission is to recover the ROM to construct further Dragon's Tooth Swords from the MJ12 research facility. This is located underneath Versalife's data entry facility, located north of the Wan Chai market.

JC Denton then collects data on the nanovirus that causes the Gray Death and destroys the Universal Constructor. Both of these are located on level two, the Nanotech containment facility, below the MJ12 research facility. He learns that there is a new, large shipment of the virus heading to New York, so leaves Hong Kong for New York City to cut it off.

MJ12 Helibase
Before first arriving to Hong Kong JC Denton's helicopter is diverted to a secret MJ12 helibase.

Wan Chai Market
Points of interest include:
 * The Luminous Path compound to the east. This includes Tracer Tong's laboratory which is accessed through the lower levels of the compound.
 * The entrance to the Versalife facility to the north.
 * The Wan Chai market stalls, including the police station.

Protection Racket
Both of the two main Triads in Hong Kong operate protection rackets. When JC Denton first visits the Wan Chai market a boy is threatening the newspaper stand vendor (to the north of the market).

Similarly, when JC first visits the Wan Chai tea house, just south of the newspaper stand, the owner is threatened by a member of the Red Arrow. The gang member threatens to put him out of business by causing him to fail his next health inspection. The tea house is later seen infested with rats.

Police Station
Wan Chai features a police station of the Chinese military police. Inside there is a datacube that documents the police monitoring of conflict between the triads. Within the police station there are also weapons and munitions as well as evidence that links Maggie Chow to MJ12.

Canals
The Hong Kong canals feature the Old China Hand bar and provide access to Tonnochi road.

Lucky Money nightclub
The Lucky Money nightclub is the headquarters of the Red Arrow triad.

VersaLife
VersaLife has its main headquarters in Hong Kong. This includes VersaLife's data entry facilities, secret MJ12 research facilities and a Universal Constructor.

Tonnochi Road
Tonnochi road features the queen's tower luxury suites. This building houses the apartment of Maggie Chow. Both luminous path and red arrow triad members roam this area. Jock's apartment is also on Tonnochi road. There is a sniper rifle on one of the buildings on Tonnochi Road, accessible from Jock's apartment. There is also an email on Jock's computer that discusses the possibility of him assassinating Maggie Chow.
