1
Some subterfuge is needed to convince a Ministry handler that Zoe is actually Ellie Maxted, but Zoe and Phil are late. To kill time Ellie suggests you take this Ministry person to pick up artefacts from a nearby museum.
2
Intercepting Ollie, the man from the Ministry, Ellie introduces you and 'Joanie' aka Jody, as loyal Ministry runners over comms. The three of you must grab artefacts from Mallory museum without delay.
3
Ellie may have misremembered that Mallory Museum is not, in fact, full of 17th Century ceramics, but instead houses videogame memorabilia.
4
With a little help from Jody, Ellie bluffs her way through an academic knowledge of 80s videogames. Given there are zombies here Ollie wants to leave, but you ignore his pleas and continue on.
5
You grab the completely necessary copy of Manic Miner from the 80s section, as zombies close in. Thankfully Jody spots an exit and you beat a hasty retreat, leaping over some Frogger machines.
6
Phil and Zoe have finally arrived, but Phil meets you while Zoe hangs back in the van. He continues the ruse that you must pick up items of vital historical importance before you can leave.
7
Once outside you meet up with Zoe, and successfully fool Ollie. Unfortunately both she and Phil have been signed up to give a very involved lecture in Sudbury, and that's your cue to go to the real Ellie.
8
Ellie's excited about seeing the Viking artefact, but a clip of Sigrid explaining how she's going to 'fix' humanity brings her back to earth. Ellie's the only one who can help you stay one step ahead of the Ministry.
