// DX1 EVENTS - JC Denton in Area 51

Twenty years ago, JC Denton caused the Collapse by shutting down the Area 51 Aquinas router that linked the world's communication channels.

Twenty years ago, JC Denton shut down the Aquinas Router, which paralyzed global communication and returned civilization to a simpler, decentralized existence.

Twenty years ago at Area 51, JC Denton agreed to join an AI construct known as Helios to create a consciousness capable of managing the new world order.

Twenty years ago, the Illuminati convinced JC Denton to neutralize Bob Page in Area 51 before Page could achieve his plans of global dictatorship.

No one has heard from JC Denton since he destroyed the Area 51 facility twenty years ago and brought about the Collapse.

// DX1 EVENTS - The Collapse

JC Denton's destruction of Area 51 plunged the world into a period of depression and war known as the Collapse.

The Collapse shattered the global powers. It would be two decades before those with visions of a new world order would again vie for dominance.

// DX2 GAMEPLAY TOOLS - EMP attacks

Many weapons use electromagnetic pulse (EMP), which is used to disable bots and other electronic devices.

EMP weapons can reduce your bioelectric energy supply if you are within the blast radius when you use them.

// DX2 GAMEPLAY TOOLS - Medkits

Medkits provide the means for anyone to restore health instantly in the field.

Use medkits often to keep your health high. This will help you survive combat and keep you prepared for unexpected conflicts.

// DX2 GAMEPLAY TOOLS - Bioenergy Cells

Energy cells store the bioelectric energy that powers the nanotechnology in biomods. Use them to replenish your power when you run low.

// DX2 GAMEPLAY TOOLS - Weapons and Ammo

Most ranged weapons have alternate fire modes that may consume different amounts of ammunition.

Ammo clips are compatible with all weapons, but different guns deplete ammo at different rates. Watch your ammo counter to avoid running out.

Your crosshairs indicate a target's alliance. Green represents allied targets, red represents hostile ones, and blue means neutral.

Weapon mods increase the effectiveness of your weapons by making them more potent in combat or adding a new ability.

// DX2 GAMEPLAY TOOLS - Multitools and Doors

Multitools disable electronic and mechanical devices like security cameras, keypads and locks.

It isn't always necessary to use a multitool or keycode to open a locked door. Some doors can be destroyed with explosives.

// DX2 GAMEPLAY TIPS - Stealth Tactics

When trying to sneak, be aware of the surface you're walking on. You make less noise on carpeting than on metal or concrete.

You are harder to see while crouched than while standing, whether you're crouching behind something or in plain sight.

The Cloak, Move Silent, and Thermal Masking biomods improve your stealth movement abilities.

// DX2 GAMEPLAY TIPS - Bots

Scrambler weapons produce an electronic transmission that temporarily causes bots to attack their allies.

Bots are quite resistant to bullets, fire, and poison.

The Bot Domination biomod gives you remote sensory control over cameras, turrets, and some bots.

You can access a security computer if you have a valid login or the Neural Interface biomod.

// DX2 GAMEPLAY TIPS - Cameras, Turrets, Alarms

Security turrets are normally dormant but can be activated by alarms.

You can sneak past a camera by avoiding its field of view or by using the Thermal Masking biomod.

When a camera detects an intruder it sounds an alarm, alerting guards and activating turrets.

Cameras and turrets are resistant to bullets but more vulnerable to explosives, EMP attacks and multitools.

Using the Neural Interface biomod, you can control or shut down cameras from a security computer.

When a camera or a guard sounds an alarm, security systems such as turrets are activated and nearby guards are summoned.

// DX2 GAMEPLAY TIPS - Misc

Two or more people may give you conflicting goals so weigh rewards carefully before deciding which option to pursue.

// ORGANIZATION - Omar

The Omar are an underground society comprised of cyborgs. They originated in Russian science labs in the years following the Collapse.

Biomodification makes the Omar look monstrous, but they still run a thriving business in black market armaments.

The biomodified Omar share a group consciousness but each member was once an ordinary human.

The shared Omar consciousness facilitates the delivery of rewards and penalties for a customer's actions toward the group.

The Hunter-Seeker Bot is smaller and more maneuverable than a military bot but its energy weapon system makes it almost as lethal.

Hunter-Seeker bots are the most agile and stealthy of all bots. The Hunter-Seeker defense is enhanced by its ability to cloak and avoid prox mines.

// CHARACTERS - Security Bot

The Security Bot (also known as "the bulldog") is small enough for use indoors and outdoors. Its riot shotgun makes it a strong deterrence force.

// CHARACTERS - Aero Security Bot

// CHARACTERS - MedBot

The MedBot can heal even the most serious injuries. It is programmed to attend to the wounds of anyone in its vicinity.

// CHARACTERS - RepairBot

The RepairBot can fully recharge a depleted bioelectric energy supply. It is programmed to replenish the bioenergy of those nearby.

// CHARACTERS - NG Resonance

NG Resonance is an international pop star, popular with young and old alike.

The pop star NG Resonance has holo-kiosks all over the world where her fans can talk to AI constructs resembling her.,// load text for mission 1

// LOCATIONS - Seattle

After the Collapse, Seattle chose not to raze its ruins. Pillars in old "Lower Seattle" hold up the platform on which Upper Seattle rests.

A massive elevator (called the Inclinator) connects Upper and Lower Seattle.

Seattle's WTO charter was ratified one year ago, to the dismay of many Lower Seattle citizens. Upper Seattle has since prospered.

Seattle is home to world-class facilities like the Mako Ballistics Weapons Lab and the Tarsus Academies Intermediate Training Center.

// ORGANIZATION - Mako Ballistics

Mako Ballistics is the premiere manufacturer of firearms, from small conventional pistols to cutting edge high-tech weaponry.

// DX2 FICTION - The Order warring with the WTO

Each time the WTO incorporates another city, the Order raises an impassioned outcry against the spread of materialism and consumerism.

Tension between the WTO and the Order has been mounting. What began as friction and criticism has erupted into riots and armed attacks.

The WTO offers tangible solutions and real wealth. The Order promises internal balance and peace.
