Notable Events in Hidden Missions
Meeting the Player
In the previous season, the player received a job offer for the position of special agent in the Acropolis Special Intelligence, to which they accept. Upon arriving in the airport, the player was introduced to the Acropolis Special Intelligence by agent handler Ethan Cruz. However, the player and Agent Cruz were immediately put on duty when they received a report of a murder in a plane.
After solving the case, it was revealed by A.S.I. Director Jonathan Fellowes that the player is not the only new agent to arrive in Acropolis, the director asked for the player to accompany him to meet junior agent Kate Wong. Upon finding out that she left to stay in the Grand Oasis Hotel, Agent Wong claimed that no-one was there to pick her up and decided to stay in a hotel. Agent Wong and the player jump into action when scientist Carla Hagan sought their help to find her missing tablet.
BioSafe-Osprey Conspiracy
The A.S.I. managed to uncover a smuggling operation in the airport after arresting a flight attendant in the act of smuggling. The team then approached Osprey Airlines' CEO, Alastair Hahn, to initiate an investigation in his company, Reed managed to create an inspection strategy out of a flight crew allocation plan to inspect every flight crew and passengers' luggage to oust smugglers. Meanwhile, Dr. Woodley discovered that scientist Carla Hagan is researching the deadly Valencian virus. Concerned about the research, Dr. Woodley had Director Fellowes to allow an investigation on Dr. Hagan by surveilling her meeting with a colleague in Restaurant Dempsey.
The suspicion of a conspiracy between Dr. Hagan and the smuggling operation arose when the A.S.I. team found the vial case used to contain infectious substances and learned that it perfectly fits in the hidden compartment of the smuggler's luggage, the case also belongs to BioSafe, Dr. Hagan's research group. Although, this was circumstantial evidence, as scientists normally use them to transport substances, it also cannot be proven that the vial case did come from the incriminating luggage. The team also found out that Alastair wanted to make changes in his airline's exclusive destinations, which suspiciously creates an alternative route to avoid luggage inspections.
A mysterious woman (later identified as Sarah Alvarez) tried to inform the team about BioSafe's suspicious activities, but ended up getting murdered. However, the A.S.I. team learned about Sarah's discovery - Dr. Hagan is interested in the enhancement of the Valencian virus. The A.S.I. also identified biotechnological genius Darius Frost as a collaborator to Dr. Hagan's research in creating a vaccine against the Valencian virus. Upon finding a list of vaccine volunteers' names, Dr. Woodley tested each one of them if they were infected, to which he finds out none of them carried the virus.
Solving the murder of Leonard Tate allowed the A.S.I. to make full progress in their ongoing investigation - they found out that Leonard's killer, Veronica Lieu, was infected by the Valencian virus, causing Director Fellowes to lockdown the airport temporarily. The A.S.I. also managed to arrest another smuggling participant, who then confessed that Alastair ordered him to transport smuggling luggage to Dr. Hagan.
In the last case of Acropolis Airport, the A.S.I. arrested Dr. Hagan and Alastair for smuggling and public endangerment. During the investigation, Agent Wong became infected by the virus, causing Dr. Woodley and Candy to look for a cure and for Agent Cruz to accompany the player in the remaining duration of the investigation. Eventually, they learned that Veronica was a guinea pig for the Valencian virus enhancement experiment, arresting BioSafe researchers Jemima Harper and Mick Ackroyd for their participation in illegal human experimentation (and the latter for committing Veronica's murder).
The team found the laptop that contained incriminating files describing Dr. Hagan and Alastair's conspiracy - to release an enhanced version of the Valencian virus and create a vaccine so that people would worship science for saving their lives, it also revealed that Alastair was the ringleader of the smuggling operation. The player also discovered that Dr. Hagan and Alastair frequently met in Sunshine Resort. Dr. Woodley managed to create a medical treatment that could eliminate the virus, the medicine was then distributed to hospitals in case any infections may appear.
In the end, BioSafe and its research data was given to Darius Frost and Agent Wong fully recovered thanks to Dr. Woodley's medical concoction. Director Fellowes then ordered for the team to shift their focus on Sunshine Resort to find out how and why Dr. Hagan and Alastair met.
