*Meet with Niobe at the Zion Outpost in the Slums.*
Tyndall: Well, it looks like you've attracted some more attention from the Zion leadership! Niobe wants to meet with you. Get over to the Zion outpost in the Slums.
Operator: This is the outpost. Niobe should be in here somewhere...
Opposum: You seen the new firepower they're bringin' us?
Ether: Yeah, I'd love to see the look on one of those damn Exiles when I pull out--
Senta: Damn it! Do you guys really think it's more firepower we need? Stop thinking like coppertops.
We're in the Matrix, and it ain't pretty toys that are going to save Zion. It's smart operatives, who believe in the cause and know how to use their heads. You got it?
Ether: Yeah, sorry.
Opposum: Yeah, I suppose you're right.
Senta: These new recruits are going to be the death of me, I swear!
Listen, a good head on your shoulders is more important than anything, but it looks like you got that covered. There's an ammo case around here somewhere with a little something that might help you out. Be sure and talk to Churyumov about it.
Churyumov: Hey, take this key and have a look around the weapons room. Might be something useful in there.
Churyumov: Take care, Liosazer.
Senta: Ask around if you need any help. There are always people willing to help a fellow op.
Opposum: Be careful out there, Liosazer.
Ether: Maybe I'll see you out there, Liosazer! 'Course you might not be able to keep up with me...
Niobe: Liosazer, we've got another broadcast for you from Commander Lock. Talk to Shanghai.
Niobe: Go ahead and talk to Shanghai.
Shanghai: Patching Commander Lock through:
"Hello, Soldier. Commander Lock here. I have many operatives under my command, but very few have your degree of talent and dedication. Your continued service to Zion helps ensure the freedom, and in fact the very existence, of countless human beings.
It is my pleasure to promote you to the rank of Captain, with all the rights and privileges thereof. A Zion hovercraft is now at your command. Pick your crew carefully, and lead them with pride.
Congratulations, Captain. Carry on."
Niobe: We need more capable operatives like you if we're going to ensure humanity's survival... Captain Liosazer.
Shanghai: Wow, congratulations... Captain Liosazer.
Ghost: "In doing what we ought we deserve no praise, because it is our duty." Ever heard that before, Liosazer?
Niobe: Ghost!
Ghost: Yeah, well... You're doing okay, that's all I'm saying.
