Morgan Everett's Home

Morgan Everett's Residence is located at an undisclosed location in Paris, and is the home of both current and former leader of the Illuminati, Morgan Everett and Lucius DeBeers respectively. It is an extensive compound overlooking the Paris streets from the top story of a large building and, apart from the standard rooms of an apartment, contains several laboratory setups, an aquarium, cryogenics facilities and a helipad.

Deus Ex
JC Denton was brought to Everett's house by Toby Atanwe, an associate of Morgan Everett. JC was rendered unconscious for the duration of the trip by a neuro-paralytic gas administered by Atanwe at the discretion of Everett, to keep the location of the compound a secret. Upon being revived, JC learns about how paranoid the Illuminati is getting from Atanwe, and that the uplink JC transmitted from the Majestic-12 network in the Knights Templar Cathedral provided the missing encryption key that Everett required, to complete the work Tracer Tong began on the synthesizing of Ambrosia.

JC then encounters Everett's maid Carmela, who alludes to someone named Lucius DeBeers and requests JC not disturb him. When pressed about the identity of DeBeers Carmela resists and only reveals he is a sick friend of Everett's. He is revealed to be a former leader of the Illuminati in the 20th century, and is located in a hidden room behind a mirror in Everett's bedroom. He is partially frozen inside a cryogenic case and only has the ability to speak. He claims that the Illuminati's decline is the result of his own, and once technologies that will restore his body are created, he will assume the leadership again. He also requests that JC tells Everett that he is too cold. Through talking to Everett, JC learns that the desired technologies are already available but that he has no intention of restoring DeBeers' body, preferring instead to keep him as an incapacitated advisor. Upon learning this JC can either reveal this information to DeBeers and subsequently assist in his suicide, or falsely reassure DeBeers of Everett's good intentions and leave.

In the cryogenics room, where Lucius DeBeers is, there is a Datacube on the bench. It contains the access code for Morpheus' chamber. In this chamber [accessed through a door in the hydroponics lab near where Alex Jacobson is] JC can talk to Morpheus, one of the games most infamous characters. Morpheus was a prototype AI for Echelon III, and when JC first enters the chamber, Morpheus begins reciting information about him, his age, residency, ancestry. When JC confronts Morpheus about his knowledge and function the two begin a deeply philosophical discussion about the nature of humanity, observation and worship.

JC finds Alex Jacobson in one of the labs, who tells him that officially he was sent by Tong to help Everett with the decryption, but is also keeping an eye on Everett due to Tong's mistrust of the Illuminati. They also discuss the first signs of what will later be revealed to be Tong's infection with the Gray Death, and his resentment of the advanced technologies that have led to the global unification of communications, which he attributes as a major catalyst for the chaotic and turbulent state of the world.

JC then meets with Everett and learns that Daedalus is his creation, and that Everett was the mentor of Bob Page and a good friend of Stanton Dowd. JC then leaves for Vandenberg to contact Gary Savage of the X-51, a group of former Area 51 scientists, who are close to completing a Universal Constructor, which would be needed to synthesize the Ambrosia in sufficient quantities.

On the helipad JC encounters the dead body of a mechanic and another mechanic acting suspicously. If JC returns and talks to Everett, he will discover the mechanic is an imposter and needs to be killed. If JC then kills the mechanic and talks to Jock, he will discover a bomb hidden in the helicopter. Alternatively, if the player won't take out the mechanic and talk to Jock, the helicopter will be blown up at Area 51.

Trivia

 * In Everett's bedroom, on a cabinet in one of the corners is a Nanokey that unlocks a hatch in Everett's lab, which leads into the aquarium.


 * Hacking the computer Alex is sitting at will reveal an email with two codes, which open containers in Everett's lab containing augmentaion upgrades.
