'''Mission 2:'''
!Morning Comes Too Soon
In a nondescript boardroom, [[AncientConspiracy members of the Illuminati]], including [[VideoGame/DeusEx Bob Page, Morgan Everett, Lucius Debeers, Stanton Dowd and Elizabeth DuClare]] meet to discuss current matters.
Everett informs the group that their plan to seize the weapons during the meet was a disaster, and all of the assets are dead. Another member of the group named Rand express optimism and says that they can use the attack to their advantage because Interpol will be confused for weeks, and asks everyone else to have patience. Debeers reminds everyone that [[AStormIsComing things are getting worse by the day]], and they need to act quickly to take care of the offending elements. Rand offers to go to New York and personally ensure that the "[[ContinuityNod Human Restoration Act]]" is passed by the United Nations. Debeers authorizes it, and tells Dowd to go with him before the latter two men and Duclare hang up, revealing that they were holograms.
After this, Everett tells Debeers that Rand's plan won't succeed because the government is too weak and ineffectual, and casts doubt on [[Recap/DeusExChildrensCrusade Nathaniel Brown's unmentioned plan]]. Debeers reassures him that they have an alternate strategy, and [[CallForward authorizes Page to]] [[APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil put his own plan into motion]]. While Everett expresses skepticism that Page's plan is secure because of the machinations of [[Recap/DeusExHumanRevolutionMission09TheMissingLink Janus and the Juggernaut Collective]], Debeers tells them that he will take care of Janus. He orders Page to activate his sleeper cell before all of the participants deactivate their holograms...
[[TimeSkip One week later]], Adam wakes up with a start onboard a train pulling into Ruzicka Station in the city of Prague, Czech Republic. He radios Miller and tells him he's just getting off the train and will be at the office soon.
As Adam walks through the station, he notes several augments being harassed by heavily-armed police officers, along with floating cameras that are scanning people. Adam stops to help a woman who dropped some papers, but it is revealed that this is actually an undercover contact, [[Recap/DeusExTheFallMission03CostaRica Alejandra "Alex" Vega]]. She expresses happiness that he's alright after what happened in Dubai, but expresses surprise that Task Force 29 was sent to Dubai in the first place. When Adam says that Miller told him they were the only team available at short notice, Alex says that it was a lie.
The pair walk through the station and show their identification at two checkpoints. Alex proceeds to tell him that the Juggernaut Collective has been keeping their eye on all of Interpol's Task Force teams, and suggests that it may be an Illuminati front, but doesn't understand why they would send their own unit into an ambush. Adam muses that the Illuminati may be [[SpottingTheThread steering the team]] towards seeing what they want to see.
After telling her that he won't be surprised if there's another extremist attack, and seems unwilling to fight against it, claiming that it didn't work too well [[VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution the last time he tried to stop one]]. Alex expresses indignation and says that they can't just give up and let hatred and prejudice take over. He tells her that his only goal is to find TheManBehindTheMan and see justice brought to them.
As they walk through the mezzanine, Alex begins to wonder aloud about who gave [=TF29=] the order to mobilze, and wonders if someone is using a [[{{Foreshadowing}} system called the "Neural Subnet"]] to plan their operations. She hands him a wiretap device and says that Janus has built it to fit into a motherboard at the Task Force headquarters. Before she can continue further, their conversation is cut short when an explosion rips through the terminal, knocking both of them to the ground. They get up a few moments later and realize that someone bombed the terminal.
Adam tells her to get clear, while he goes to help a young boy who is screaming for help. When he goes to the boy's location, he discovers that his mother is inside a pile of debris. Despite his efforts, he's unable to dig her out before she dies while holding his hand. He stands back up and looks around in shock, while the boy continues to plead for her to [[PleaseWakeUp wake up]]...
A day later, Adam is recuperating in his Prague apartment. He wakes up and discovers that [[BagOfSpilling several of his augs are malfunctioning and don't work anymore]]. He gets up and checks a stash beside his bed, which includes an email from [[VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution David Pritchard]] sending him links to news stories about anti-aug sentiment, and a pocket secretary from [[Recap/DeusExHumanRevolutionMission09TheMissingLink Quinn]] that originally put him in contact with Alex. He opens the blinds, then hears a voicemail from David Sarif, who wants to catch up with him and see how he's doing after the bombing.
After taking a shower and watching a Picus broadcast, he calls Sarif, who expresses relief that he's alright. As they catch up, Sarif reveals that he was thankful to be rescued at Panchaea, and laments that the Sarif Industries building was broken into by looters and razed to the ground, before Tai Yong Medical took over the rest of the company. When he inquires about Megan Reed, Sarif tells him that she moved to San Francisco to work at [[CallForward Versalife]] at an offshore facility called Roccasecca Beach, then tells him to move on with his life. Sarif also mentions that he's planning to meet with representatives from the Santeau Group -- and Nathaniel Brown. Adam expresses doubts that Brown's plan to build ghettos for augs will work, but Sarif says that things will get better before ending the call.
Adam radios Miller to let him know that he's going to go into the city to get his faulty augs checked out before reporting to the office, and leaves the apartment...
!!Tropes:
* AncientConspiracy: The Illuminati, obviously. Notably, its leaders are people who were seen and spoken about in [[VideoGame/DeusEx the very first game]], including Bob Page, Morgan Everett, Stanton Dowd, Elizabeth [=DuClare=] and Lucius Debeers.
* BadassLongcoat: Lampshaded. It's stated in an email that Adam has ordered a new longcoat from a local manufacturer, along with custom specifications (likely so he can use his augs).
* BlatantLies: At one point, the player can choose to sit and watch television in Adam's apartment. Doing so brings up Picus Television, with Eliza Cassan proudly proclaiming that they offer "fair, impartial and unbiased news".
* BusCrash: It's stated in an email Pritchard sends to Adam that Belltower Associates (the antagonists of ''Human Revolution'') went bankrupt in-between games after the Juggernaut Collective leaked information to the public about one of the company's black site facilities. This appears to be a nod to the AbortedArc that was set up at the end of ''VideoGame/DeusExTheFall'' (which had Ben Saxon and Alex Vega heading off to investigate one of Belltower's secret facilities in Australia).
* CallForward: The Illuminati council scene is a large-scale one for the original game. Aside from all of the major players from said game being present (including [[BigBad Bob Page]], Morgan Everett, Lucius Debeers, Stanton Dowd and Elizabeth [=DuClare=]), a large number of references are made to events that would eventually be told by Dowd to J.C.

* ContinuityPorn: The opening folds in characters from three different games (members of the Illuminati from [[VideoGame/DeusEx the original]], Janus (from ''Human Revolution'''s ''Missing Link'' DLC, and Alejandra Vega from ''VideoGame/DeusExTheFall''), with plenty of continuity nods and {{Foreshadowing}} for future events in later games.
* FantasticRacism: Alongside in-game advertisements subtly throwing shade at augments by marketing their products to pure humans with sly putdowns towards the former, augments are treated as pariahs in public. They are routinely gawked at, insulted and threatened by citizens and the police. The fact that ''another'' bombing occurs doesn't help matters.
* {{Foreshadowing}}:

** When Adam watches television in his apartment, a news broadcast appears talking about Nathaniel Brown, the head of the Santeau Group which is authorizing construction of Rabi'ah. As Brown is also an associate of the Illuminati (and was TheManBehindTheMan in the ''Children's Crusade'' comic tie-in), this serves as foreshadowing of his motives.
* HeartbrokenBadass: Adam still seems to harbor sadness for what happened with Megan, if his conversation with Sarif is anything to go by. After telling him that she's working with Versalife in San Francisco, Sarif tells him to push her out of his life completely and stop thinking of her.
* HolographicTerminal: The Illuminati use one to run their meetings, with the caveat that none of the members involved in the meeting are actually present in the boardroom.

!Morning Comes Too Soon
In a nondescript boardroom, [[AncientConspiracy members of the Illuminati]], including [[VideoGame/DeusEx Bob Page, Morgan Everett, Lucius Debeers, Stanton Dowd and Elizabeth DuClare]] meet to discuss current matters.
Everett informs the group that their plan to seize the weapons during the meet was a disaster, and all of the assets are dead. Another member of the group named Rand express optimism and says that they can use the attack to their advantage because Interpol will be confused for weeks, and asks everyone else to have patience. Debeers reminds everyone that [[AStormIsComing things are getting worse by the day]], and they need to act quickly to take care of the offending elements. Rand offers to go to New York and personally ensure that the "[[ContinuityNod Human Restoration Act]]" is passed by the United Nations. Debeers authorizes it, and tells Dowd to go with him before the latter two men and Duclare hang up, revealing that they were holograms.
After this, Everett tells Debeers that Rand's plan won't succeed because the government is too weak and ineffectual, and casts doubt on [[Recap/DeusExChildrensCrusade Nathaniel Brown's unmentioned plan]]. Debeers reassures him that they have an alternate strategy, and [[CallForward authorizes Page to]] [[APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil put his own plan into motion]]. While Everett expresses skepticism that Page's plan is secure because of the machinations of [[Recap/DeusExHumanRevolutionMission09TheMissingLink Janus and the Juggernaut Collective]], Debeers tells them that he will take care of Janus. He orders Page to activate his sleeper cell before all of the participants deactivate their holograms...
[[TimeSkip One week later]], Adam wakes up with a start onboard a train pulling into Ruzicka Station in the city of Prague, Czech Republic. He radios Miller and tells him he's just getting off the train and will be at the office soon.
As Adam walks through the station, he notes several augments being harassed by heavily-armed police officers, along with floating cameras that are scanning people. Adam stops to help a woman who dropped some papers, but it is revealed that this is actually an undercover contact, [[Recap/DeusExTheFallMission03CostaRica Alejandra "Alex" Vega]]. She expresses happiness that he's alright after what happened in Dubai, but expresses surprise that Task Force 29 was sent to Dubai in the first place. When Adam says that Miller told him they were the only team available at short notice, Alex says that it was a lie.
The pair walk through the station and show their identification at two checkpoints. Alex proceeds to tell him that the Juggernaut Collective has been keeping their eye on all of Interpol's Task Force teams, and suggests that it may be an Illuminati front, but doesn't understand why they would send their own unit into an ambush. Adam muses that the Illuminati may be [[SpottingTheThread steering the team]] towards seeing what they want to see.
After telling her that he won't be surprised if there's another extremist attack, and seems unwilling to fight against it, claiming that it didn't work too well [[VideoGame/DeusExHumanRevolution the last time he tried to stop one]]. Alex expresses indignation and says that they can't just give up and let hatred and prejudice take over. He tells her that his only goal is to find TheManBehindTheMan and see justice brought to them.
As they walk through the mezzanine, Alex begins to wonder aloud about who gave [=TF29=] the order to mobilze, and wonders if someone is using a [[{{Foreshadowing}} system called the "Neural Subnet"]] to plan their operations. She hands him a wiretap device and says that Janus has built it to fit into a motherboard at the Task Force headquarters. Before she can continue further, their conversation is cut short when an explosion rips through the terminal, knocking both of them to the ground. They get up a few moments later and realize that someone bombed the terminal.
Adam tells her to get clear, while he goes to help a young boy who is screaming for help. When he goes to the boy's location, he discovers that his mother is inside a pile of debris. Despite his efforts, he's unable to dig her out before she dies while holding his hand.
