*Recruit your first potential redpill.*


Tyndall: You've impressed me, Warrior! Because of this, you have been given your first recruitment assignment. I know that you will live up to Commander Lock's expectations.

Meet with Blixen at the Zion base.

Operator: Once you've spoken to Blixen, she will have additional instructions for you.

Zion Operative 1: Have you spoken with Blixen yet? She's waiting for you.

Zion Operative 2: Some of the Awakened think it's unsettling to be back inside the Matrix... Oddly enough, it still feels like home to me.

Zion Operative 2: I guess I'm just funny like that.

Alstede: Greeting, Liosazer. Before I can help you, you should speak with Blixen first. When you're done, come back and I'll have something for you.

Blixen: Welcome to the ranks, Liosazer! Tyndall tells me that you'll be picking up a potential redpill today, so I'll be providing you with the necessary tools and a crew to assist you in the extraction. Take this red pill item from me.

Operator: Take the pill from Blixen.

Blixen: You may take the red pill from me, Liosazer.

Operator: Blixen just gave you one of two pills that you will need; a red pill. Before you leave, you must pick up a blue pill from Alstede. Go speak with him.

Blixen: Here's a red pill. Before you go pick up the potential redpill, you must get a blue pill from Alstede in the other room. Go speak with him now.

Zion Operative 1: You should really go talk to Alstede. He has something that you may need for your mission.

Donny Ibach: > Run Program combat_sim.exe
> Target selected.
> Waiting to attack...

Alstede: Greeting, Liosazer. I have a little task for you. There's a locked desk in this room and I want you to open it.

I've given the key for the locked desk to my simulacra, Donny Ibach. I want you to defeat him and take it off his body.

Operator: The simulacra program has the key on it. Double-click on the corpse of Donny Ibach and take the key. This key will allow you to unlock the desk and take the blue pill.

Operator: That's the key to the desk. Unlock the desk by double-clicking on it now that you have the key.

Operator: That's the blue pill in the desk. Take it!

Operator: Once you exit the area, I will send you the address of the potential redpill.

Alstede: Well done!

Blixen: Good luck with the rest of your assignment, Liosazer.

Zion Operative 1: What are you waiting for? Go recruit your first redpill, Liosazer!

Tyndall: I'm sending you the address of Lorenzo Ackerman. Go to his apartment and speak with him about the Matrix. If he is ready to see the real world you will be presenting the red and blue pill before him. If all goes well and he takes the red pill, you'll be escorting Lorenzo to an REP, or Redpill Extraction Point. Good luck!

Operator: This is Lorenzo's apartment complex. I've indicated the front door to his apartment with the waypoint on your HUD. Go there now!

Merovingian Operative: We've been waiting for you, Liosazer!

Operator: We've got hostiles!

Lorenzo Ackerman: That freak broke into my apartment! Stop them!

Operator: Nicely done, Liosazer! The Merovingian won't be harassing Lorenzo any time soon.

Lorenzo Ackerman: While you were fighting I had time to think about my decision and... I think I'm ready to find out what The Matrix is.

Operator: Now give Lorenzo the red pill.

Operator: Lorenzo has taken the red pill! Now we need you to get him to the Redpill Extraction Point so we can extract his body from the Matrix.

Lorenzo Ackerman: Okay, I'm ready... Show me the way, Liosazer, and I will open the door.

Tyndall: Watch your back on your way to the REP. I'm detecting a lot of activity in the area so be sure that Lorenzo Ackerman arrives there safely.

Lorenzo Ackerman: Where to?

Operator: Inside this apartment complex is one of our many Redpill Extraction Points. Ankar and his crew are waiting for you and Lorenzo. Do not delay!

Porpoise: Ankar is waiting for you in the back.

Birch: Welcome to the Redpill Extraction Point, Liosazer.

Birch: You may recognize this place from when you were extracted.

Porpoise: Just go on through to the back. Ankar and Dobra are waiting for you.

Dobra: I'll take the blue pill from you. Lorenzo Ackerman won't be needing it.

Ankar: Is Lorenzo Ackerman with you?

Operator: Ankar will take over from here.

Ankar: Liosazer, I see that you brought your new friend with you. I'd like to personally thank you for bringing him here.

Lorenzo Ackerman, are you ready to find out...what The Matrix is?

Lorenzo Ackerman: Thank you for your help, Liosazer. I hope that we will see each other again.

Dobra: I'll make sure this gets back to Alstede.

Porpoise: Don't get yourself killed.

Birch: Good luck out there.

Tyndall: All of Zion, and especially Lorenzo Ackerman, thank you for your efforts today. With your aid, we can prepare the ground for the battle that will surely come!
