Hint: Chung's datapad contains records of illegal activity here. Special objects like this are often useful later.
The warehouse manager believes that Syndicate agents are about to leave the facility with an armored truck. Commander Griffin has ordered Shinatama to coordinate your operation with a TCTF assault team. In the meantime, find the truck.
Hint: Locate the truck in the main cargo bay, and Shinatama will direct you from there.
The armored truck here must be the one the warehouse manager mentioned. With the evidence you've uncovered, Commander Griffin has authorized a TCTF team to seize the facility. You must detain the Syndicate and their contraband until the assault team arrives.

Begin your search of Musashi Manufacturing. Look carefully for any evidence of illegal Syndicate activity.

Hint: The plant is divided into two main sections connected by a flyway in the foyer.
Avoid the automatic laser defenses, and keep moving. Musashi Manufacturing wouldn't have set up this much security unless it had something to hide.
Hint: If a turret can't see you, it will stop firing, and then reset itself.

Make your way across the roof and get to the top of the Security Control Tower. Once the tower is secure TCTF officers can storm the lobby.
Hint: There are unidentified types of Syndicate operatives participating in this attack!
The Syndicate Bomb Trooper disabled the lab's security sub-systems. But, thanks to you, a small group of TCTF officers has made it into the lobby.

There's nothing you can do to save Shinatama. Clear the blast zone ASAP!
Hint: There's no turning back! Run through the blast door above you for protection from the explosion.
Shinatama is gone. Her self-destruct command was broadcast from the control center in TCTF Regional HQ, and they must have known you were within the blast radius. Whatever secrets Muro was trying to learn from Shinatama, Griffin didn't want you to find out either. There's no one left to trust.

Hint: The center's data consoles access useful information, and its workers can help you operate equipment.

You have found a possible weakness in Muro's plan. If the Sturmanderung Pulse can be activated before all the orbital transmitters are aligned, some of the Atmospheric Conversion Centers will survive.

You've disrupted Muro's plans, but you must still face him in combat.
Hint: Now your own Daodan-enhanced combat skills will be truly tested.
