Collar of Amplification Mission

From Anarchy Online Wiki [AOWiki]

BiomareBannerCollarOfAmplificationQuest.jpg
For both Clan and Omni, this is a mission in Biomare to remove the renegade leadership of the facility. For the player, it ends in the acquisition of the Collar of Amplification. Some parts of it run parallel to the Security Card Mission. Neutrals can choose to start with either Investigator - Ace Starr (Clan) or Dr. Hercules Lincoln (Omni).

Clan: "What sort of job?"
Investigator - Ace Starr: "Well, lately the tension between Omni-Tek employees and the Clans has been rising. It all started after the assault on Philip Ross."
"Suddenly old friends were enemies. Omni-Pol must have felt pressured to find the people behind the attack, and started blaming various members of the Clan. Even Jacobi of the Vanguard was a suspect. While we agree to finding the guilty, we don't like the hostility this manhunt has brought.
"Our investigations have given us indications that the responsible persons were someone on the inside."
"The Biological Materials Research facility in The Longest Road has previously been spearheading Omni-Med research initiatives, with its nano technology expertise. Not long ago, all personell in this facility was told to leave the area and to immediately report to Omni-InternOps. However, there are still personnel left, and we want you to go in and get us the evidence we need to build a case to prove the innocense of the Clans, and to make Omni-Tek take responsibility for the crime."
Clan: "I'm not surprised. Omni-Tek has blamed others for their mistakes in the past and gotten away with it. Not this time, I say! What do you want me to do?"

Investigator - Ace Starr: That's the spirit! First of all we want you to contact our insider. You will find the details in your mission contract. Return to me with information from him, and we'll give you further instructions!

At this point you can continue with the Security Card Mission, to get your Security Clearance ID Card Blank transformed into a Security Clearance ID Card - Gamma Clearance, which will be invaluable for the following missions.

This can be achieved in minutes: Located outside the entrance to Biomare dungeon are two Security Card Encoder devices that can be used to upgrade the Security Clearance ID Card Blank to Alpha Clearance.

After reporting to your investigator you will be sent in again to rescue Analyst Theresa Cameron, who is cut off in the shuttle hangar of Biomare. She holds some important data that is to be retrieved. Escort her past enemies and use your Encryption Key on the Encrypted Data Cube; bring the Decrypted Datacube back to your Investigator.

You will receive an Encryption Key that will help in retrieving the data.

Data Analyst - Theresa Cameron hides in the big shuttle hangar with the two shuttles. She seeks cover between some crates at position 255,35. After talking to her she will start walking, which is less haste than an agent might hope of another operative, or an escort might hope from their client, towards the emergency exit on the other side of the hangar. She is slow enough that some of the mobs that you disposed of before will respawn.

Gunbeetle
At the moment you talk to Theresa, all personel nearby is going to aggro you and Theresa. It is your job to guarantee Theresa's safe passage to the emergency exit. She will help a little, and can take a hit or two, but obviously you cannot count much that, as you are not able to view her stats much.

Theresa is totally allergic at being attacked by players. If she takes damage from a player, she will cast a very big nuke of 50.000 damage. So take care with damage shields and AoE damage near her.

When she reaches the exit, she will leave an Encrypted Data Cube on the ground. You will immediately receive XP, but this is not all of it. First find the Encrypted Data Cube she left on the ground; it will stay there for some minutes. Use your Encryption Key on it, and you will retrieve a Decrypted Datacube to hand over to your investigator.

Decrypted Datacube Decrypted Datacube

But before running back with the Decrypted Datacube, you should go through the doors on the other side of the hangar to the right area to retrieve some tissue samples for the next mission. Just get one of each "Sample" from these mobs: Alpha Bio Construct, Shadow Mutant, and Chemical Vindicator. If you postpone returning until then, you need not run back and forth.

Tissue Sample Mission[edit]

From the results of Theresa Cameron's data, your investigator will learn that he needs some tissue samples from the underground of Biomare. If you were wise, you have the samples right in your pockets and simply hand them over to your investigator. If not, go and retrieve them now, you will find a Pulmonary Tissue Sample, a Liver Tissue Sample and a Cardiac Tissue Sample. These must be handed over, out of sequence with their source's placement in the instance; ie Chemical Vindicators appear last, but their Livers are asked for by the contact second.

Pulmonary Tissue Sample Pulmonary Tissue Sample
Liver Tissue Sample Liver Tissue Sample
Cardiac Tissue Sample Cardiac Tissue Sample


You will receive 30000 XP for each of the first two samples and 90000 XP for the last one.

The different mutants where the tissue samples come from can be found right after and below the shuttle hangar in the mutant caves. At the first window on the right side you can jump through the glass down from the bridge into the middle of the mutant jam. Expect several adds! The Medic-type NPC in mask and armless shirt cannot be targeted without pets unless he is walking; he drops level 55 meds.

Analyzing the samples brings new clues about the things going on in Biomare. You will be sent down there again to retrieve even more data from the secret labs down there. You get some Secure Terminal Hacking Protocols which will help you to retrieve Sensitive Data from some computer terminals.

There are eight terminals located on the walls of the lab after the third security teleporter. These are guarded by four Bodyguards and there are some technicians (that drop level 70 meds) in the room too. Beware for some nasty snares and roots here. Loot the Bodyguards for the Damaged Gamma Clearance, Gamma Ejector, etc.

Not all the terminals will yield the right data. Some give you useless Routine Data, so you will have to continue your search until ending up with green Sensitive Data.

Now hurry to show this to your investigator.

Kill the Director Mission[edit]

With this last piece of the puzzle your investigator begins to see clear. So he orders you for a last mission. The Lab Director is to be "Identified". In a world where machines can restore your soul to a cloned body, it is not entirely clear if this is a euphemismistic way to say, "Kill", or expediently concise. At any rate, he has to be reduced to zero HP and looted. Mission duration 9 hours.

With your Security Clearance ID Card - Gamma Clearance you can get easily to the third security teleporter. After working through the lab again, you pass throgh the corridor where Captain Rik-Rak Jones peacefully watches you passing by and enter the eastern tower. Go up the ramp and through the door and you will see a corridor with a door in the middle, guarded by two Bodyguards. Thats the director's office.

When attacked, tha Lab Director will spawn two or more Executive Protectors, making heavy radiation damage and get respawned on kill. Best bet is to mezz them.

When the dirctor goes down all team members will receive a Director's Identification Card directly into their inventory.
