Clear the Path & Gather Intel

The heavy trailers in the area were stocked with quite an arsenal of weapons. Psycho dumped his pistol and picked up two AY69 short-range micro machine guns. Now, this is the Psycho I know and have gone into battle with for the last few years.



The intel computer was nearby, but so were a bunch of KPA troops. Psycho wasn't near as skilled at hacking computer systems as me, so he opted to clear the path forward before gathering the intel from the system. After all, blazing a path is what he did and what he did very well.

Psycho was also great at hijacking vehicles. So taking control of a KPA Armored Scout Vehicle (ASV) was not a problem at all.



The ASV was loaded and was in great shape. A perfect path clearer for those who want to protect themselves. Even a renegade like Psycho would prefer to blaze a path under cover than to do it with only the protection of the Nanosuit.

To clear the path, Psycho had to eliminate a handful of KPA troops as well as another ASV and a couple of Hummers.



The KPA gunners were a bit better at using their vehicles than Psycho. So after the last vehicle was destroyed, Psycho jumped from the ASV, since it was pretty much ready to explode after one more hit. Maybe it was from him driving on the left side of the road, that crazy Brit!

On foot, Psycho cleared an area previously taken out by the Sierra air strike team, where only a few gunners remained. After making sure the area was clear, he headed back to the trailer and began to hack the KPA computer.



JSOC reminded Psycho how to hack these ancient systems. Within a few minutes the system was wide open and data was fully downloaded. The information gathered was far from good news.

Evidently, Colonel Lee had requested a delivery from Yongbyon-kun, which made us all shiver. We all realized that was where the KPA housed their nuclear research site. We realized that from previously unsuccessful covert missions in that very area over the last 5 or so years.

JSOC began to push further instructions to Psycho, but their transmissions were being jammed with some broadcast propaganda. The source of the jamming was nearby and easy to locate.



Before moving forward, Psycho had to reach and take down the radio station located on a small peninsula. This might be right up Psycho's alley too - one way in, no way out!
