 Reporter makes her way to the [wiki:aur_32 accounting floor] where she finds evidence that HBC is laundering millions of dollars. Through further snooping through classified emails, she discovers reference to a secret door in a conference room to an area not shown on the building's blueprints.
 
-Examining the referenced door, she discovers a [wiki:aur_32#Lair large area] that appears to be a base of operations for [wiki:caecus Caecus Group], a terrorist organization thought to be stationed in [wiki:team#JeffMOD Canada]. While gathering evidence she learns that the group has become aware of her presence and Caecus troops have arrived to silence her. Aided by the MT's hacking skill, Reporter fights through the Caecus forces and escapes through the building's loading dock. Shortly after stepping outside, Reporter finds police surrounding the building and is taken into custody.

 Having been given instructions to access the main server in the IT Operations department on the [wiki:aur_20 20th floor], Reporter makes her way up the building, without arousing suspicion thanks to the IT disguise. Connecting the USB drive to the server, a backdoor is installed to the HBC company web server, giving MT access to the office's internal network, granting them access to some general security systems throughout the building, and allowing them to register Reporter's smart glasses as an approved company device on the building's wireless network. '''(CHRIS NOTE: lol.)'''
 
-MT explains that the evidence Reporter wants is located on the [wiki:aur_32 32nd floor] - accounting - but the IT disguise only authorizes access to floors 1, 20, and 25. In order to reach the floor unnoticed she'll need to go through areas she's not permitted to access overnight as an IT employee. Furthermore, security is making their rounds with the specific intent of checking up on her, and while they won't boot her from the building, won't allow her to leave the area, '''(CHRIS NOTE: Why is security alerted? Why won't they be suspicious if they're alerted? Why won't they allow her access to areas she's authorized to be? Is this supposed to make sense?)''' ''(JEFF NOTE: It's more of the guard is just doing his rounds, maybe making a special trip because he's a horndog and heard there was a lady present over the radio. You won't be allowed to go to floors you don't have security clearance for while security has their eye on you, because it's kind of their job to make sure that doesn't happen. Perhaps if you don't follow MT's instructions fast enough the guard chats you up for a while, then goes to wait by the elevator/stairwell to escort you downstairs for a coffee, giving you a second chance to escape through the floor.)'' so she'll have to find a way around them. Following instructions from MT, she traverses the false floor in the server room and climbs down through the ventilation network to reach the [wiki:aur_19 mechanical floor] which contains maintenance access to an elevator shaft. Using the elevator shaft, Reporter climbs into an elevator and rides to the [wiki:aur_25 25th floor], the only remaining area her IT disguise authorizes her access to.

 After sneaking around HBC security and climbing floors in the building, Reporter reaches the 32nd floor. Snooping around on the floor she discovers logs of huge amounts of money flowing through the company with unexplained origins. She takes to examining confidential emails where she discovers not only evidence of but also direct references to money laundering within HBC as well as a hidden entry point to a secret part of the floor, hidden in the executive conference room.
 
-MT claims to be examining building blueprints, and that floor plan shows nothing in the referenced area '''(CHRIS NOTE: Perhaps instead the documented floor plan could be entirely different than actual floor?)''' ''(JEFF NOTE: Could be better. More room for us.)''. Searching the conference room, Reporter stumbles across a hidden staircase leading into the undocumented area. '''(CHRIS NOTE: How come you writer guys didn't include any details regarding this super important area (barring an implied execution) in the original documentation? FIRED.)''' ''(JEFF NOTE: Well there's more ''now.'' Happy?)''

 Investigating the area, Reporter gradually learns that HBC is a front for Caecus Group, and that this largely undocumented floor is actually a base of operations for the group, containing a soundstage for propaganda and broadcasted execution (which contains a fresh body), a holding cell, a control room for coordinating operations, a compact, soundproofed firing range, and multiple small combination office/quarters, as well as secret entry points and an elevator not marked on blueprints or floor plans. As Reporter collects evidence, MT realizes Caecus has discovered her intrusion and that troops are arriving to give her the ol' shooty shooty. '''(CHRIS NOTE: Been holding humor to ensure clarity, but this one's staying.)''' MT sends Reporter's smart glasses a [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HandWave combat-oriented firmware update] shortly before Caecus troops cut the building's power.
 
-With the power out, MT can't assist Reporter with security measures, so she's instructed to make her way to the [wiki:aur_35 rooftop] to restore power to the building by activating the backup generator. '''(CHRIS NOTE: Does that second half really make sense?)''' ''(JEFF NOTE: Added the bit we decided on about the backup jenny. Does it work now?)'' Fighting through the troops, she restarts power to the building, reconnecting MT to the network. MT begins using HBC's security against the Caecus troops to keep as many of them out of Reporters path as possible.

 Fighting back down to escape the building, Caecus takes further measures to ensure Reporter can't escape and disables elevators and begins barricading stairwell, leaving her with no way to leave the dining floor or escape the building. With Reporter trapped and fending off troops, MT begins searching blueprints for an escape plan. They piece together that an unmarked corner on each floor of the building must be the secret express elevator for furtive access to the Caecus segment of the building. MT informs Reporter of a Caecus supply cache containing trooper explosives which she can use to blow a hole in the elevator shaft wall. MT remotely calls the elevator to the dining floor allowing Reporter to escape the floor.
