'''Mission 4:'''
!Claiming Jurisdiction
Adam walks into a [[CovertGroupWithMundaneFront front business]] and takes a hidden elevator down to the [=TF29=] offices. Alex calls him on the way down and asks him to plant the [[Recap/DeusExMankindDividedMission02MorningComesTooSoon whisper-chip she gave him at Prazicka Station]] on the motherboard in the NSN Server Room.
On his way in, he runs into [=TF29=]'s quartermaster, Aria Argento, who [[ShipTease expresses relief that he's alright and wants to talk with him later]]. She gives him a card for the shooting range before leaving. Adam gets into the server room and plants the whisper-chip successfully.
Adam also takes the time to visit [=MacReady=] in his office and ask about the identity of the extremists who hit them in Dubai. Though [=MacReady=] believes that they were just another dime-a-dozen jihadist groups, [[SpottingTheThread Adam is suspicious and says that heavy augmentation would go against Muslim beliefs]]. [=MacReady=] acts dismissive and chides Jensen for overstepping his bounds before leaving.
Miller pages Adam to his office, and asks if everything's alright with his augs. Adam affirms that he's alright and won't cause a problem. Miller says that the state police are trying to push them out of the Ruzicka Station bombing investigation, and orders him to go to the station and meet with [=TF29=]'s crime scene technician, Fletcher. Alex also radios him covertly and says that she got him information from the server and will need time to decrypt it.
While heading out, Adam finds Peter Chang, the organization's cybercrime specialist. Chang tells him that he's getting paranoid because an unknown party is investigating the front company, Praha Dovoz, and asks him to check out a signal from a nearby building. When Adam does so, he discovers that it's coming from a group of journalists from the Samizdat newspaper. Upon meeting with them and learning their motives, Adam negotiates with them to stop investigating Praha Dovoz in exchange for some classified information on Picus Television.
Adam reaches the station and Miller calls in a favor so that he can get a private subway car to Ruzicka Station. When Adam arrives, he finds Fletcher, who expresses anger at being stalled out of the process and being accused of tampering with evidence by the police. Adam offers to help, and Fletcher says that he found something that will be able to break the case wide open but needs to get the portable drive the info was stored on. Adam decides to sneak in through the [[AirVentPassageway maintenance shafts]], and past several heavily-armed policemen.
He eventually finds the portable drive and sneaks back out. Miller radios to inform him that they've got a new lead in the case and are planning an operation in the aug ghetto called Utulek Station, a.k.a. "Golem City". Miller asks that Adam meet with [=TF29=]'s psychologist, Dr. Auzenne, before he's cleared for full duty.
At the [=TF29=] headquarters, Alex says that she had the data decrypted and wants to speak with him in person later. Adam goes to the office of Dr. Auzenne, who offers to give him Neuropyzyne for the pain. Adam [[ContinuityNod points out that his body doesn't reject augs]], leading Auzenne to [[ArbitrarySkepticism laugh it off and say he can believe whatever he wants]]. When she asks him a series of psychological questions, she points out that ARC's actions may make officials and citizens look down on him, despite being a member of the task force. Adam reaffirms his commitment to the job and protecting innocents before leaving.
He goes to meet Alex at a bombed-out LIMB clinic a short distance away from the office. Upon arriving, Alex shows him audio evidence of Miller talking with a higher-up, who is ordering him to officially claim that all of the bombings were the Augmented Rights Council's fault, even though he doesn't have concrete information. Adam says that Miller is just doing his job, and is more interested in [[TheManBehindTheMan his superiors]]. He realizes that the Illuminati are setting up ARC and pledges to get to the bottom of it.
Miller orders him to a nearby airpad. When he arrives, Miller tells him that his mission is to go to Golem City and find and bring in ARC's leader, Talos Rucker, for questioning. Though Adam pointedly tells him that it seems suspicious that ARC would be behind all the bombings, Miller tells him there's no way to be sure until they find and extract him. He also officially introduces him to [=TF29=]'s AcePilot, Elias Chikane, who comes out in person. After Miller leaves, Chikane gets annoyed by Adam's questioning and insinuates that he has no interest in becoming an aug, despite sporting a prior leg industry.
With that, Adam climbs onboard Chikane's VTOL as they head off to Golem City...
!!Tropes:
* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: The sewers are not only huge, but cultivate entire communities living in them. It's also the spot where the Samzidat journalists run their underground newspaper. Various storage spaces can also be seen throughout the system.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Dr. Auzenne refuses to believe that Adam doesn't suffer any rejection systems from his augs. However, Adam is telling the truth, as a key part of the previous game was his unique biology (which caused Megan to take his DNA samples in the first place). When Auzenne tries to give him Neuropozyne, he acts dismissive of it.

* ChekhovsGun: If the player disabled the terrorist's comms system in the prologue mission, Agent Singh's cover is maintained. [=MacReady=] thanks Jensen and says that Singh will be able to get them more intel in the near future.
* ContinuityNod:
** Adam points out to Dr. Auzenne that his body doesn't create rejection systems because of his augs, a key part of Megan Reed's research on him from the previous game.

* Some newspapers have an article on Panchaea, with the author [[SpottingTheThread questioning]] why it blew up on the same day that the Aug Incident happened.
* CovertGroupWithMundaneFront: The front business for the [=TF29=] offices is a import company called Praha Dovoz. One of the side-missions is to throw off a group of journalists inquiring about the company itself.
* IntrepidReporter: The staff at Samizdat are ProperlyParanoid and write about government corruption and the tendency of the news media to obfuscate the facts. Depending on the player's interaction with them, Adam can either reason with their leader, K, and trade confidential information on Picus for a guarantee not to investigate Praha Dovoz, or kill all the staff because TheyKnowTooMuch.
* KungFuProofMook: The goons who wear heavy Exo-Suit armor can't be taken down with combat moves, despite a prompt claiming otherwise.
* ObstructiveBureaucrat: Miller states that the head of the United Security Council is stonewalling [=TF29=]'s investigation of the bombing, under the claim that it falls under "homegrown" terrorism. This is what leads him to send Adam out to recover the evidence for Fletcher.
* OnlyKnownByHisNickname: Fletcher is normally referred to by almost everyone (including Adam) as "Smiley".
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Despite the ability to push back against his commands, Jim Miller is a very fair and by-the-book leader, who appears to be getting pushed by higher-ups to steer the Dubai investigation a certain way. In a conversation with Alex, Adam can choose to blame TheManBehindTheMan instead of Miller for the stonewalling.
* ShoutOut:
** The [=TF29=] quartermaster, Aria Argento, is a shout-out to actress Asia Argento. Both women were born in Italy.
