Message In a Bottle

Amelia explains that eight months ago, a top secret message for Abel Township from General Bakari was intercepted. It included instructions to link to a satellite for more information, but that satellite is failing. There's only once chance to link with it and they need Amelia's personal approval, so you're heading to New Bletchley. You'll need to make a quick detour to reset a McShell Tower first.

You enter the village where houses are being built on Amelia's orders. She says that the message came from Tunisia and it's some of the first contact with the world outside the UK in years. Amelia adds that she has been studying the Edda and discovered that there may be other places with red fungus. The Edda mentions five deposits, of which Mor Island was the smallest. But the McShell lane is just ahead!

The Edda mentions red fungus in an area that corresponds with Tunisia and Bakari claims he sent the message from a top secret base set up to research an ancient biohazard. You reach the old motorway where McShell Towers have been built. If a horde approaches the area one tower will broadcast an alarm to lure the zombies in, then the towers on either side both broadcast noise to trap the zombies there to be led away or destroyed. And if a V-type shows up, then the area can be flooded with concrete. You hear a noise ahead: the McShell tower is mallfunctioning and broadcasting an alarm. Quickly, before it lures the zoms!

You reach the malfunctioning tower and head up the stairs inside. Sam spots a train on the tracks along the outer wall of the McShell lane and Amelia explains that she's building a rail network. It's for moving troops to eradicate zombies for now, but eventually it will become a national rail system. She tells Janine that Bakari has requested a team, but the Tunisian political situation is unclear, so it can't be official. Janine says that she can't leave her responsibilities in Abel again. You reset the tower and Amelia says they'll discuss it more when you reach New Bletchley.

You arrive at New Bletchley. Janine insists that she cannot go to Tunisia, but Amelia says the message was specifically for Janine and Tom. Bakari said it could prevent countless deaths and that he is the closest thing to family that Janine has now. Janine denies this and says that Bakari was her mentor, but had betrayed them all. Amelia guides you into the lab.

Amelia outlines Bakari's plan: Red Scorpion base is hiring a special ops team and Bakari will rendezvous with them a year from the date of the message. You'll need to masquerade as the special ops team, but you'll have to improvise because it took so long to get the message. You reach the main lab and help to connect the machinery cables. The computers start to receive the message: CCTV images from the base in Tunisia showing a familiar figure. Professor Van Ark is alive!
