The year is 2022. Eager to complete the final stages of her training,
Carrington Institute agent-to-be Joanna Dark looks forward to graduation and
assignment to active duty. And as the CI's most promising student, she's
about to get just what she wants...and more.
For ger final field test, Agent Dark will be sent deep into the South American
jungle. Her mission: to destroy an illegal cyborg maufacturing facility. In
the process, however, she will uncover a much farther-reaching
conspiracy---one that will introduce her for the first time to the shadowy
dealings of the mysterious dataDyne corporation.

bidder.
dataDyne Corp. (Private Company)
--------------------------------
Description: Little is known of the dataDyne Corporation other than the
identity of its head, Cassandra De Vries. Addicted to power, Ms.
De Vries is prepared to do extremely unscrupulous things to get
ahead of her competition.
==============================================================================
= -Weapons- =
==============================================================================
Agent, your arsenal consists of 8 weapons, some more useful than others.
Review the following to get to know your weapons better. Remember to use the
appropriate weapon for certain situations!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Falcon 2
Weapon Type: Pistol
Shots to Kill: 3
Shots before Reload: 8
First Appearance: Basic Training
Your basic firepower. After you deplete all your ammo (including any Pistol
Ammo items), one bullet will regenate slowly and another one won't regenerate
until you fire that bullet. Very decent weapon, and can kill a guard with one
shot (if you're close and unnoticed). Otherwise, it'll take roughly 3 shots
to take out a guard. Also note that the Falcon 2 is the ONLY gun that is
silent enough to be able to kill a guard with his back turned w/o anyone
noticing.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MG1-16G
Weapon Type: Machine Gun
Shots to Kill: 3
Shots before Reload: 32
First Appearance: Search and Rescue
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shotgun
Weapon Type: Shotgun
Shots to Kill: 1
Shots before Reload: 8
First Appearance: Jungle Base
Now THIS is firepower! Kill ANY guard with one hit, regardless of whether or
not their back is turned! Of course, it's very noisy, so if there's more than
one guard nearby, the other guard(s) will be alerted. Preferably used with
lone guards.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KNF-27
Weapon Type: Machine Gun
Shots to Kill: 2
Shots before Reload: 32
First Appearance:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fantom
Weapon Type: Machine Gun
Shots to Kill: 4
Shots before Reload: 32
First Appearance:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disruptor
Weapon Type: Alien Technology
Shots to Kill: 1
Shots before Reload: Recharges over time
First Appearance: dataDyne Base
It kills in ONE hit! It never runs out of ammo! So what's the problem? It
recharges waaay too slowly! Use only as a last resort, and never take on more
than one guard with it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rocket Launcher
Weapon Type: Rocket Launcher
Shots to Kill: 1-2
Shots before Reload: 4
First Appearance: Illegal Cyborg Factory 1
WOW. This baby does MAJOR damage. The Shotgun is technically a better
choice, but if you're being hunted by multiple guards, the Rocket Launcher is
preferable because of the splash! The explosion is capable of killing more
than one guard.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6-YYY
Weapon Type: Uzi
Shots to Kill: 4-6
Shots before Reload: 32
First Appearance: Basic Training
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==============================================================================
= -Items- =
==============================================================================
The following are a list of items that you may pick up on you journey.
Med Kit
Description: Heals 25% of Joanna's health.
Pistol Ammo
Description: Ammo for your Falcon 2. 8 rounds per clip.
Machine Gun
Description: Ammo for the various machine guns. I guess the "Ammo" part was
cut off.
Shotgun Ammo
Description: Ammo for the beloved Shotgun (which rules in this game, unlike PD
N64).
Rockets
Description: Ammo for the awesome Rocket Launcher.
==============================================================================
= -Special Items- =
==============================================================================
Laptop Computer
Description: Needed to disarm bomb(s) in Advanced Training and the Carrington
Institute.

Here's what you've been looking for! Our extremely detailed guide will help
you fly through all those missions with ease! Of course, the walkthroughs are
full of spoilers (storywise, and otherwise), so use at your own risk!

T R A I N I N G - C A R R I N G T O N I N S T I T U T E
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daniel Carringoton: Joanna, after your many years of study and training, this
is the final test. Beyond this door is the Carrington Institute training
ground. It simulates urban combat conditions. Using nonlethal ammunition,
you must complete the tasks ahead of you. Success will reward you with the
license you so desire. Failure is not an option.
Joanna Dark: Yes, sir. I understand.
Basic Training
--------------
Objectives:
1)Complete target ranges
2)Reach exit
Alrighty, welcome to your first training mission (1 out of 5). You begin
with 100% health, a Falcon 2 (10 rounds), and 1 Pistol Ammo item (8 rounds).
Good luck!
A) Once the mission has started, immediately run to the left. You'll see an
arrow marked "Training Area" pointing at a door. Enter that door.
B) Once you've reached the next room, immediately WALK to the left and stay
to the right of that box. You'll see a guard walking back and forth
vertically. Wait until his back is turned and sneak up behind him (don't
run!). Try to be as close to him as possible before firing off a shot.
If you did it correctly, you should have been able to kill him with one
shot. If not, then the guard will be alerted and will start firing at
you. Another 2 shots (that's 3 shots total) and he's done (same for
every other guard if you're using the Falcon 2). However you kill him,
Carrington will talk to you through your watch afterwards:
