ARgh! Paul vanished and now I'm stuck.

For the mission where you send the nsf distress call, when I sent it and went back to Paul's room, he was gone. I had busted up his chair earlier, and when I had left he was standing near his coffee table. Now if I go in, then go back out, the raid is going on, but if I get killed I don't get captured. If I punch in the subway code (gotten online, cuz Paul wasn't there to give it to me, Anna Navarre and gunther will be there, but Gunther doesn't talk to me.

Is there any way to cheat past this? This is a pain in the butt.

There's a cheat to load up the MJ12 facility map, but it sets its own course as far as certain decisions you've made up to that point.

This happened to me at the Undersea Lab, where the only save since Everett's place got corrupted. I had originally found the bomb on Jock's helicopter, but when I loaded that up and got to Area 51, Jock died :grr:

The most viable solution is to pick an earlier saved game from before the level (say from your visit to Liberty Island right before Jock takes you to Hell's Kitchen).

I set Pauls health to 0 and prodded him, this gave the same effect.

The soloution is to cheat with Summon Pauldenton at the talk command line.

you can then have the proper conversations with him.

Okay, I'll try summoning paul. Now I just gotta figure out how to get cheats enabled.

Edit- summoning paul worked great! I'm at MJ12 HQ now, and paul survived! An interesting side effect of summoning him was that the MiBs didn't attack him. I used him for cover until they pissed him off enough to attack them back.

Thanks for the help everyone!
