Hover Over Dialogue:
Captain Briggs: Command, this is Briggs over at American History.

True Sons Soldier: Go ahead, Briggs.

Captain Briggs: We've got us a Hyena big shot that's been spilling all kinds of interesting stories.

True Sons Soldier: Awful friendly of him.

Captain Briggs: Command, It's a her, but that's beside the point. I'm sending over a nice long list of targets. Mostly Hyena supply stashes. But I also have info on a few ops the fuckers are planning.

True Sons Soldier: Against us?

Captain Briggs: Command, us and the chickenshits at the Theater. Which, whatever, let them beat the crap out of each other. But I fugred y'all might want to set up a nice little surprise party for when the Hyenas come for us.

True Sons Soldier: Abso-fuckin-lutely.

Briefing
Manny Ortega: During the crisis, JTF set up a temporary stockade in the basement of the American History Museum and now the True Sons runs the place. Odessa says there's a treasure trove of high-value intel in there: transcripts and notes from the interrogations of True Sons prisoners. Mostly Hyenas, which is why Odessa is so interested. If you can release the prisoners, True Sons will have their hands full of a full-scale riot, giving you an easier shot at the prize.

Transcript
ATTENTION: SPOILERS AHEAD!

Transcript: The Agent enters the area.

Manny Ortega: Your goal is a collection of transcripts and notes from months of prisoner interrogations. The information is stored on a military-grade laptop, kept in the main holding area downstairs.

BLANK

Manny Ortega: Your first priority should be to release the prisoners to keep the True Sons busy. Look for some kind of security terminal.

The Agent secures the area and finds the terminal.

Manny Ortega: Find the terminal and patch ISAC in.

Manny Ortega: Now to open the cells… and the cells are open.

The Agent moves through an intake area, killing three True Sons troops.

Manny Ortega: The main holding area is downstairs. Get moving.

The Agent moves through the Journey Through America Exhibit, defeating True Sons forces that have taken up residence.

Manny Ortega: The True Sons seem to be in control of the holding area. The Hyenas are knocking out security cameras. Pretty smart of them.

The Agent moves through the Patriotism and Protests Exhibit, defeating True Sons forces that attack in the process.

Manny Ortega: Just lost the feed from the holding area. There was a bright flash and then static.

The Agent heads down the elevator shaft, killing three Hyenas and two True Sons fighting in the entrance to the holding area.

Manny Ortega: Picked you up on camera again. The holding area is just ahead. Once you find that laptop, grab it and get the hell out of there.

The Agent finds the laptop and kills the warring True Sons and Hyenas in the holding area.

Drone Operator: Ok, Looks like you’ve got True Sons reinforcements headed your way.

Manny Ortega: North or south side?

Drone Operator: Both. Heavier concentration to the south.

Manny Ortega: With all those gates sealed, the North exit should be closer.

The Agent fights through several more brawling Hyenas and True Sons in the medical bay that escaped the cell block and heads to the North Courtyard, engaging the breaching True Sons forces.

True Sons Soldier: They’re trying to break through!

The Agent kills several True Sons until Captain Briggs appears on the upper walkway.

Captain Briggs: Sweet galloping Jesus, what the hell is going on here? Put these fuckers down!

The Agent fights and kills Briggs and all other True Sons forces.

Drone Operator:  No more contacts. All clear.

Manny Ortega: You just recovered intel that’s going to be a whole lot of help to Odessa in the short term, but to all of us in the long run. You also effectively put this hellhole out of commission.
