Transcription recorded from private Exodus comms.] ZAIN: I know why you’re here. You believe Project: Silver Spear is a weapon. That’s a lie. [[Codex/Profiles/Noah Wolff|Wolff]] cannot be trusted. He’s using you, and will stop at nothing to kill Oz. I’ll prove it to you. Activate the transmitters. Oz planted a special signal beacon at this facility. When activated, a GPS tied to his personal codes will falsify his location tag. Wolff will think you’ve found Oz and bomb what he believes is your location. You’ll see that, to him, you are nothing more than collateral damage. \[comms offline] \[Wolff launches missile barrage at [[Codex/Organizations/Nordvik|Nordvik]] facility.] WOLFF: No hard feelings, Exodus. As it stands, No-Pats fall under “acceptable losses” if we toe-tag Oz in the process. Know that your sacrifice has saved the free world. You can take that to your graves. \[Zain comes back over comms.] ZAIN: Zero hesitation. This is who Wolff is. He used you, but you’re not the first. We need to get moving, but we can’t return to your ship. Not while Wolff thinks you’re dead. We go by land. Caju can give us safe passage to the port. \[comms offline] ZAIN: [[Codex/Organizations/The Dark Market|The Dark Market]] gave Oz a storage container here. It has everything on Project: Silver Spear. You just need to unlock it. Project: Silver Spear was never a weapon. It’s our future. The Shearwater technology. [[Dr. Gedeon Voros|Dr. Voros]] fixed the coding mistakes and unlocked its full potential: a geoengineering machine, one that could transform the land and build us a new home. This has been our plan. To create a place to unite us, the abandoned and forgotten: the No-Pats. Oz's laptop has everything. In Wolff’s hands, it would destroy us. But in yours, we can turn the tide of our fight. \[comms offline] \[Exodus No-Pats recover intelligence on Project: SILVER SPEAR. Oz comes over comms.] OZ: So now you know the truth. Wolff will destroy the future I'm building for the No-Pats at any cost. It's not about nations or superpowers – it's about revenge. Exodus... Irish: I can't change what I've done, but perhaps now you understand why. Let us finish what we started. Together. Help me bring Silver Spear online. Return to where Voros’ work began. \[comms offline] ZAIN: For Silver Spear to work, you must move Shearwater-2 into position. Dr. Voros built a special Satellite Control switch here at Black Ridge. He left instructions for how to activate it. The coordinates are set. All you need to do is initiate realignment. \[comms offline] \[Exodus No-Pats realign Shearwater-2. Wolff comes over comms.] WOLFF: Well done, Exodus. First you make me show my hand, now you're helping “Oz” and hijacking Shearwater-2. You’ve been declared an enemy of the United States and all her allies. Congratulations: you just put the biggest fucking target in the world on your backs. I'm going to hunt you and Oz to the end of the Earth— \[Zain comes back over comms.] ZAIN: —Our cover is blown. We need to get somewhere Wolff can't chase us. There’s a drilling site in enemy territory. We can hide there. \[comms offline] ZAIN: That crate has a communications device with a secure connection to Oz. We can use it to contact him and request evac to his base of operations. It’s time you joined the fight, Exodus. \[comms offline] \[Exodus No-Pats activate comms device.] ZAIN: Eden-1, this is Sentry Sierra, request emergency exfil. Eden-1, do you copy? “There is a star that will lead us home.” \[Oz comes over comms.] OZ: “And that star will brighten your way home.” Good to hear your voice, old friend. Exodus: the Impávido is inbound for escort to Eden-1. I look forward to your arrival. A new world is waiting for all of us, but Wolff will make us fight for it. Welcome to the real war.
