Missions

An Ounce of Hope, a Pound of Despair

An Ounce of Hope, A Pound of Despair is both a cutscene and a training mission. During your training you will learn how to ride a motorcycle. During the briefing Archer's success in the previous mission is hailed, while the loss of Tom Goodman is lamented. The training prepares you for the upcoming mission Rescue Attempt.

Briefing

A bittersweet success, to be sure, but a success nonetheless. Recovering from Agent Goodman's death will be no easy task, but you can be sure H.A.R.M. will not sit idly by while you grieve.

The information you recovered from the headquarters of Dumas Industrial Enterprises may prove to be the break you have needed. Report to the War Room for a full briefing.

At the shooting range, Archer recalls her last encounter with Goodman and remains quite distraught over having now lost two partners. She is called to the War Room where she has a brief discussion with Mr. Jones who commends her efforts and reminds her that these are risks that every operative must be willing to take.

Mr. Smith arrives and informs them of a new lead of Dr. Schenker's whereabouts. It is possible that H.A.R.M. is keeping him captive in a secret facility in North America. Archer will have to covertly infiltrate this facility and liberate Dr. Schenker for a second time.

Mr. Smith also mentions the fact the Baron's wife appears to have changed her maiden name from Farnsworth to McClain before getting married. Archer recognizes Felicity Farnsworth as the daughter of a disgraced banker who, soon followed by his wife, committed suicide when she was eight. After the fatal accident of the aunt who took her in, she lived with a foster family before disappearing without a trace at the age of 14. Archer is sure that she is somehow involved with H.A.R.M. but still lacks the evidence to prove it.

At the training facility, Archer learns some new skills before departing on her next mission.

Objectives

Report to the advanced field tactics area.

Watch the briefing as Cate, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Smith plan a recovery from last mission's devastating turn of events. After much discussion, you are sent to the field tactics area to receive two new items - an acid gas perfume and a camera disabler. Finally, Cate gets to train on a motorcycle in preparation for the next mission.
