Plot
The Missing Link will reveal what happened to Adam Jensen during his three day disappearance. Tied to a special chair whose electromagnetic pulses inhibit the powers of his mechanical augmentations, Jensen bears the blows of the ship's officers, who have uncovered his presence and believe him to be an illegal immigrant. After a brief chat with the Belltower agents, Jensen realizes that nobody is aware of his identity and why he snuck onto the ship. Left to himself, Jensen escapes when the power of the chair that holds him captive mysteriously stops.

While fighting for his survival on the ship, he uncovers another layer to the conspiracy that he never would have suspected. Adam befriends new, mysterious allies and fights ruthless enemies to discover what is happening in the shadows during the events of Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
