John Smith works in a cubicle on the 3rd floor of the Data Entry Facility. He is paid to falsify records of VersaLife's activities, but is getting increasingly suspicious of his superiors. According to him, every person to hold his job prior to him has caught the Gray Death virus and been shipped to a camp shortly afterwards (including W. Gibson, the previous owner of his workstation).
Deus Ex 6th Mission: Hong Kong: Fearing for his life, he will give JC Denton a free pass into the Pacific Rim Research facility, so long as JC manages to silently eliminate his boss, Mr. Hundley. Whether JC does so or not depends on whether or not he wishes to spend the 2000 credits to get in, and whether or not he wishes to take out Hundley. It is also possible to simply enter the code on the keypad without attracting anyone's attention.
Behind the scenes[]
If JC doesn't kill or knock out Hundley when infiltrating VersaLife, his body is meant to be found later floating in the Hong Kong Canals, however the game mistakenly looks for the flag "HaveROM" instead of the correct "Have_ROM", preventing him from spawning.
VersaLife staff only turns hostile when JC goes down the elevator after getting the ROM. Using grenades to clip away and back to the floor will not trigger the alarms, keeping everyone friendly and unaware of what just happened. The cops in the security room are an exception as they will also turn hostile if the player trips the trigger by the keypad.
