The mission starts with a brief cutscene about Hotspots. The Protagonist has to go to one of the Hotspots, disable shield generators and the main controller.Broken {{ref}} (outdated style)
The Protagonist: "And what's a Hotspot?" Kinzie Kensington: "Basically a giant work station. A system like the simulation you're in probably requires constant maintenance, which is what these seem to be for." The Protagonist: "And this is the only one?" Kinzie Kensington: "Of course not."
The Protagonist: "Look at the size of the bloomin' thing." Kinzie Kensington: "Focus on the shield generators, otherwise you'll never get to the main console."
The Protagonist: "Blind luck and bravado for the win." Kinzie Kensington: "With the shield down you can get to the console at the base of the structure." The Protagonist: "Right. Piece of cake." Kinzie Kensington: "Focus on the shield generators, otherwise you'll never get to the main console."
The Protagonist: "Ready, steady..." The Protagonist: "Yaaaaaahhhhhhh!" The Protagonist: "Sorted." Kinzie Kensington: "Um, I'm showing some strange readings close to you." The Protagonist: "Strange? It's rainin' bloody FIRE..." The Protagonist: "Oh, joy. What IS that thing?" Kinzie Kensington: "I don't know, but it isn't reading like a normal Zin. I think... I think you can intergrate your code with it." The Protagonist: "Meaning...?" Kinzie Kensington: "It means once you take him down get close enough and I think you can absorb him." The Protagonist: "Right, because I want THAT inside me."
Kinzie Kensington: "Hey, it worked!" Zinyak: "Yes, bravo... Perhaps my Wardens underestimated you. I won't let them make the same mistake twice." Kinzie Kensington: "That can't be good." The Protagonist: "To Hell with him, Kinzie. Set me up with one of those training rooms." Kinzie Kensington: "I think I can do that."
The Protagonist: "And what precisely is a Hotspot?" Kinzie Kensington: "Basically a giant work station. A system like the simulation you're in probably requires constant maintenance, which is what these seem to be for." The Protagonist: "There is only one?" Kinzie Kensington: "Of course not."
The Protagonist: "Mon Dieu, it is massive." Kinzie Kensington: "Focus on the shield generators, otherwise you'll never get to the main console."
The Protagonist: "See? A triumph of brute force." Kinzie Kensington: "With the shield down you can get to the console at the base of the structure." The Protagonist: "Of course. No problem..." Kinzie Kensington: "Focus on the shield generators, otherwise you'll never get to the main console."
The Protagonist: "Here I go..." The Protagonist: "Yaaaaaahhhhhhh!" The Protagonist: "Finis." Kinzie Kensington: "Um, I'm showing some strange readings close to you." The Protagonist: "It looks like the apocalypse..." The Protagonist: "And what on Earth is THAT?" Kinzie Kensington: "I don't know, but it isn't reading like a normal Zin. I think... I think you can intergrate your code with it." The Protagonist: "And what do you mean by that?" Kinzie Kensington: "It means once you take him down get close enough and I think you can absorb him." The Protagonist: "You care to rephrase that?"
The Protagonist: "That was exhilarating!" Kinzie Kensington: "Hey, it worked!" Zinyak: "Yes, bravo... Perhaps my Wardens underestimated you. I won't let them make the same mistake twice." Kinzie Kensington: "That can't be good." The Protagonist: "Ignore him, Kinzie. Can you set up one of those training rooms for me?" Kinzie Kensington: "I think I can do that."
The Protagonist: "So what did I get? Teleportation? Laser vision? Bone claws?" Kinzie Kensington: "Looks like the ability to freeze people and objects with an ice blast." The Protagonist: "That sounds awesome!" Kinzie Kensington: "Let me load up a few targets from the simulation for you." The Protagonist: "Hang on, you're not putting in people who'll try to kill me?" Kinzie Kensington: "Don't worry, these are safe programs. You can't die from them."
The Protagonist: "What am I looking at?" Kinzie Kensington: "It looks like data clusters can be hidden inside walls. Use your blast to knock them out." The Protagonist: "Shit! Helluvan entrance there, guy." Kinzie Kensington: "I'll see if I can help with that." Kinzie Kensington: "Okay. You should be able to recover from being knocked back now." Kinzie Kensington: "Hold on, it looks like Zinyak added a shield to the warden code. I guess you pissed him off." The Protagonist: "Occupational hazard. Now how do I get around it?" Kinzie Kensington: "You'll need something more powerful than a weapon, so use your super powers to deactivate the shield for a short time. Then you can shoot him."

Kinzie Kensington: "Don't worry, these are safe programs. You can't die from them."
The Protagonist: "You see this wall here, Kinzie?" Kinzie Kensington: "It looks like data clusters can be hidden inside walls. Use your blast to knock them out." The Protagonist: "Shit!

Kinzie Kensington: "Hold on, it looks like Zinyak added a shield to the warden code. I guess you pissed him off." The Protagonist: "Well, we are not B.F.F.s. Now how do I get around it?"
