JC finally leaves New York, and Jock takes his to Hong Kong with a stolen stealth chopper, trying to locate Tracer Tong. But MJ12 is forewarned and intercepts the helicopter, directing him to the MJ12 helibase via remote control.

As JC makes his escape from the MJ12 complex, he finds himself in the Wan-Chai marketplace. On his search for Tracer Tong, he finds out about a feud between the Luminous Path and the Read Arrow. Suspecting Maggie Chow is playing a part in this, he heads off for Tonnochi Road where she lives. On the way he pays a visit to the Hong Kong waterways:

The schoolgirl is actually from Tonnochi Road. you can see her through the exit point, but can not reach her. I managed to leave the regular game area from the bridge near the two sampans. I put one metal crate on the railing, mantled it, and used the level 4 speed augmentation to jump onto the huge metal gate blocking the waterway from there you can take a trip around the outside of the level. The schoolgirl is surrounded by an invisible box, but there is a hole in the roof. Again with the speed augmentation you can easily jump on it, know her out and take her back into the regular area. Note that her copy in Tonnochi Road vanished too after I knocked her out.

Arriving at Tonnochi Road, JC decides to take the front entrance to visit Maggie Chow. He takes the elevator, but she is not at home. Frustrated, he knocks down the housekeeper, steals the Drogon's Tooth, and gives everybody a nice big welt on the head.

On his way back to the market, JC gets lost and blunders into a confrontation between the Lominous Path and the Red Arrow in the remains of the Canal Road tunnel. Being the peacekeeper he is, JC tries to talk them into a truce - but nobody listens. Swords are drawn as they prey upon each other. Words may fail, but not the baton, so JC prevents than anybody gets hurt (seriously, that is). As a patrol of the military police happens to pass by, he takes them out too, out of habit:

Cool lighting effects from the police cars :cool:

Back on his way, Gordon Quick sends JC to the Lucky Money club to show the eveidence found at Chow's apartment to Max Chen, the Red Arrow leader. But the meeting is disrupted by an MJ12 raid. JC is hard pressed to knock out everybody, not allowing anybody to get killed.

Now *that* was fun. Took out 43 AIs without anybody panicking. Thanks to the military police I was never short of gas grenades. :)

Finally, Tracer Tong is ready to meet JC. Tong manages to disable the killswitch and sends JC on a mission into the VersaLife building to steal the plans for the Dragon's Tooth sword. JC arrives at the VersaLife lobby shortly and begins his work.

*spoiler*
Moving every Body in HongKong to one location is proving deathly Slow
it also requires you kill each person in a preordaind order.
AFAIk the order should be
Helibase
Canal road
Tonnichi Road
Canals & retrieve Body from Canal Road Tunnel Cave In
Lucky money
Market
Tongs Lab
VersaLife
MJ12 Labs Need to Knock Out MIB's and WIB's
UC & retrieve Body From cooling System
Versalife
MJ12Labs
Then Arrange them all nicely in some location or other.
My first Attempt I got fairly far and realised that all the Triads/Red Dragons were
missing from the Canal road Tunnel and I had to start all over again.
I'm also cheating using infinite energy and Aug speed to make the play more bearable
also God Mode and Probably will have to use Aug targetting to knock out the MIB's.
Hint anyone trying to move bodies out of the UC best take note. Maggie chow is best killed
ealier in the game, otherwise you wont get both her and the diver out through the Pipes in
one go and will need to make a perilous reentry into the UC.
Similarly the two MJ12 Troopers and the scientist should be taken out through the lift before
descending to the UC as reaching this point has been known to seal off the lift even though
the code has not been entered.

With a stolen security pass, JC makes his way into the MJ12 labs in the VersaLife Building. The place is crowded, but luckily nobody is upset by his presence. Among other useful things, he finds some cool augmentation modules and decides to celebrate this by knocking everybody out.

JC returns to Tracer Tong with the plans. Always fond of giving orders to others, Tong tells JC to visit the VersaLife facility once more, steal data about the Grey Death and Ambrosia and destroy the Universal Constructor on the way. Damn pen pusher! Just big with his mouth, but when there is some real work to do he sends his lackeys :mad:

Back at Tong's HQ, JC teaches him a lesson about respect and commanding others while safely sitting at home:

Tong is sending JC back to New York to intercept a supertanker full of Grey Death virus containers. Before he leaves, though, he has some wor left to do in the Wan-Chai marketplace:

SJamieson:
What do you mean with "kill"? The real art is *not* to kill anybody. Clubber them with the baton, tranquilize them with the crossbow or make them dance the riot-prod-dance ;)
Note that I not only did not kill *anybody* yet in any of the SP screen shots, except Anna Navarre, but I also prevented that anybody got killed by someone else. All the dead people on my screen shots were already dead at the start of the level.

Fantastic. I am in awe
I wonder if there are any other games this Silent Project could be applied to... :confused:

Trivia: I found 187 KO-able AIs in Hong Kong. I *definitely* would not want to collect them all on one map - even if it worked in my game. It's already unbearably choppy with 40 bodies on screen.
santaClaws on 20/1/2003 at 11:51
What the hell is an invisibility box?
..
But it figures I can play the game without having to care about things like that.
Hirnwixerei. :D
Luthien on 20/1/2003 at 13:01
It's like invisible walls that enclose the area. JC can not get through them (with out a cheat), but AIs, bullets and objects pass right through. You can even attach grenades.
Azal on 20/1/2003 at 14:18
Like when you return to the Energiser Bunny Park and confront Anna and Gunther. If you get up to the surface with all the troops and bots you'll find the area around the subway entrance surrounded by invisible walls.
As Luthien said, you can shoot through them, but cannot walk through them. The AI has no trouble doing so however.
