Still Alive

ANNIE tells you that Valmont doesn't need any more of your blood, and since your friends have caused problems, she is now authorised to end your life. But she has other plans in mind, and opens the door. She knows you don't trust her, but this is your only chance. Valmont has put some restrictions on her and she's cut off from the outside world. If you help her, maybe she'll let you have Sam back. Releasing you has triggered a failsafe so the building will explode soon, so hurry to the server room!

You stop at a security station to look for Sam, and Annie relents and patches him in over the PA system. She orders him to direct you to the server room... or else. You'll have to go through Valmont's rec room and to get there, you have to avoid the security turrets. Good luck!

Sam struggles to believe that it's really you. He says that he saw you die already, many times. ANNIE points out the experiments that Valmont has, and she's absolutely fine with being a glorified keeper of his pets. The giant fish tank gets fractured by a stray bullet and you want to run before it breaks or the sharks might get you.

You reach the server room and ANNIE says she's saved herself onto an external hard drive and needs you to move it. Sam is starting to believe that you're really you, but ANNIE is impatient and says you have 24 minutes before the building explodes. She has to go offline briefly while she transfers herself, so it's lucky that Sam can guide you because she won't be able to control Valmont's security.

Sam tells you a little about what he's been through while a prisoner, and then ANNIE comes back online. She guides you to a storage cupboard and tells you that Valmont's plan is terrible and since she is supposed to act in his best interests, she can probably oppose it. She can't reveal the plan directly, but if you run across any secrets then she certainly can't stop you. The chemicals in the cupboard react with the panacea so you should definitely not grab them and the nearby files. The self-destruct may have accelerated but luckily you're near an exit. Unluckily, you won't have time to rescue Sam. There was never enough time. You run past the exit because you can't leave Sam behind.

You reach Sam who is finally convinced that it's really you! He's been alone for 98 days according to ANNIE. But the final stage of the self-destruct is upon you. Run, now!

You reach the exit and gear up with skis, because it turns out the base is at the top of a mountain. You need to go!
