Walkthrough

A CUTSCENE begins. Loba open the door, and start to look around

• "This place... Why does it feel like I've been here before?"
• "Hell of a first trip to Salvo..."

As she approached the console, Valkyrie flys in front of her.

• "Someone call for a getaway pilot?"
• "Darling, we haven't done anything that warrants a getaway yet, but we might now with the spirited entrance you just made."
• "So you'd prefer me stealthy and fashionably late?
• (Walks to front of Loba and blocks her) "Oh wait... That's you"
• (Endearingly rubbed Valk's helmet-covered face) "They say opposites attract." (Head back to the console)
• "Where are the others?"
• "Back there. I just..." (Start to interact with the console)
• (Took off helmet) "Loba? Don't go zoning out on me again."
• "You should go, darline. I'll see you late."
• "Ugh. Copy." (Puts helmet back on) "See ya later..." (Jet out)

Loba (Player) can interact with the console, which will lower the platform she is on.

• (Arriving at the deeper level) "I see they rolled out the red carpet. Good thing I always accessorize."

The Jump Drive will now be activated with no cooldown. Player will have to navigate the walkways and ducts, using the tactical as needed.

Upon crossing the first chasm, the walkway collapse, and Loba almost fell down.

• (Gasp) "Ah! (Look down the chasm) Wonderful (struggling back up) I knew I didn't like this place. It seems the feeling is mutual."

Eventually, at a section of walkway:

• "These walkways, the echoes, it's just like... No, that can't be right."

Reaching a set of platforms:

• "It looks like... they were making something here..."

Midway through the mission, Loba will encounter a zipline puzzle. By carfully throwing her bracelet while on the zipline, she reaches Research Site B, and within discovers various simulacrum bodies on inspection bed, as well as an encased Simulacrum hand and a Hammond Datapad

• "This is Salvo, not Solace. This is just another heist."

Her Black Market is now activated, allows her to extract the Datapad, which she used to connect to Hammond's Node Network and unlocked deeper parts of the facility.

After slipping through a narrow opening in the door with jump drive, she reached a large chamber that resembles the former Revenant facility that was previously under Skulltown of Solace.

• "This... isn't the same place. It can't be."

Walking down the walkway, she reached an armored core similar to the one that contained Revenant's Source Code. The console in front of it indicated "TRANSFER COMPLETE".

• "Someone used this recently... and took something. What did you leave behind, Silva?"

Using the console, she opened up the container.

• "Empty! No! No!"

In her anger, she slammed the console's keyboard, which activated the facility's security systems, as well as starting something on the console with "INITIATE SEQUENCE". She then noticed a sparkling Revenant's head.

• "This is... the demonio's eye. (yanked an eye out) Silva is making his bodies? What is he doing with the demonio!"
