Walkthrough

A CUTSCENE begins. Loba open the door, and start to look around. As she approached the console, Valkyrie flies in front of her.

Dialogue 1

• Loba: This place... why does it feel like I've been here before? Hell of a first trip to Salvo.
• Valkyrie: (Lands in front of Loba) Anyone call for a getaway pilot?
• Loba: Kairi, we don't have anything that warrants a getaway yet, but we might now, with the stunning entrance you just made.
• Valkyrie: So you prefer me stealthy and fashionably late? Oh wait, that's you.
• Loba: (Caresses Valkyrie's helmet) They say opposites attract. (Pushes Valkyrie's forehead away as she approaches the console)
• Valkyrie: (Removes her helmet) Where are the others?
• Loba: (Begins typing and swiping on the screen) Back there. I just...
• Valkyrie: Loba? Don't go zoning out on me again.
• Loba: You should go, darling. I'll see you later.
• Valkyrie: (Scoffs) Copy. (Puts her helmet back on) See you later... (Flies off)

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

Dialogue 2

• Loba: (Sees a bridge blown apart in the middle) Looks like they rolled out the red carpet. Good thing I always accessorize.
• Loba: (Throws her bracelet and teleports to the other side, a part of the platform she is standing on falls off, but she grabs the ledge at the last second) Wonderful. I had a feeling I didn't like this place. I guess the feeling is mutual.

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

While navigating past a series of ziplines and finally reaching Research Site B, Loba came across several simulacrum bodies on an inspection bed. Additionally, she discovered an encased Simulacrum hand and a Hammond Datapad. With her Black Market now activated, Loba was able to extract the Datapad, which she used to connect to Hammond's Node Network and unlock further sections of the facility.

Dialogue 3

• Loba: These halls... these walkways... why are they so familiar?

Upon successfully maneuvering through a narrow opening in the door using a jump drive, she found herself in a spacious chamber that bore a striking resemblance to the former Revenant facility, formerly located beneath Skull Town in Kings Canyon on the planet Solace. As she walked along the walkway, she eventually arrived at an armored core that closely resembled the containment unit housing Revenant's Source Code.

Dialogue 4

• Loba: (Bewildered) This... isn't the same place. It can't be.

The console in front of it indicated "TRANSFER COMPLETE".

Dialogue 4

• Loba: (Seeing the message of the console's screen) Someone used this recently. And took something. (Begins typing a code to open up the core) What did you leave behind, Silva?
• Loba: (In anger after seeing that the core was empty) Empty?! No! NO!

Due to slamming the keyboard, Loba inadvertently activated the facility's security systems, as well as starting something on the console with "INITIATE SEQUENCE". She then noticed a sparking head of one of Revenant's bodies.

Dialogue 5

• Loba: (Picks up the Revenant head and rips an eye out of it) The demonio's eye... Silva is making his bodies...? What is he doing with the demonio?!
