- 1Holograph Radioactive Isotope: Exit the elevator, go left down the hallway, and through the door to your right. Immediately go left, then right to a door straight ahead. Enter the large room, go right, and through the door with the Caution sign. After the second door, kill the two guards. Equip your Camspy and move it through the next door into the radioactive room. Move it straight ahead to get a clear shot of the green radioactive isotope and press the Z trigger to holograph it.
- 2Start Security Maintenance Cycle: Return to the mission's starting room. Find the steel door with grates and wait for the floating robot to unlock it. Go through, run down the hallway, past the right turnoff, and through the door at the end. Kill the guards, continue straight past the large screen, go right to another screen, and press B to activate it. Then, go to the first screen and press B to activate that one.
- 3Shut Down Experiments: Go back to the large room that led to the radioactive isotope. Exit all Caution doors until you are back in the large room. Go right through the door labeled "Sector 2". Shoot the guard, then go through the door on your right. Approach the scientist to shut down one experiment. Leave and go through the very last room to the left. Approach the scientist in the next door and he will shut down another experiment. Head through the big metal door and the next door. Approach the scientist, and he will activate the alarm and run. Follow him to a control panel, knock him out, and press B to activate it yourself.
- 4Locate Dr. Caroll: Return to the main room and go through the unexplored door. Kill the numerous guards. Proceed to the end of the corridor, go right, and through the door. Kill the guards inside, then head through the next door labeled "Sector Three". Wait for the robot to deactivate the lasers. Go through each doorway until you reach a smaller door labeled "Sector Three". Head through it. Continue through the next door until you encounter guards with Dragons. Kill them, take the Dragon and ammo, and use the Data Uplink on the nearby computer to unlock all Security doors. Go through the door, kill the guards in the next room, and proceed through the "Restricted" door. Continue through the sets of doors, past the sentry guns, and through the large door at the end to complete the objective.
