I attempted to bypass locked security doors but was ambushed by Hiss soldiers. After discovering my keycard lacked sufficient clearance for the NSC Control Room, I navigated through a haunting red room to reach the Power Plant, where I met Chief Arish and agreed to fix the facility.
I decided to get to the ventilation area where some doors were left unlocked because I didn't have the higher security key. However, some Hiss soldiers ambushed me on my way, forcing me into a sudden and violent confrontation.
As far as I remember, I fought them before, and here I went fighting them again. They even managed to take me down once, so I had to try a third fight with them to finally clear the hallway.
Then I went to this NSC control room door that I thought I would be able to unlock this time since I had a level 2 security keycard. Unfortunately, this door needed even higher clearance, making my journey backward feel like it was for nothing.
I went back to the janitor's office and used his back door to get towards the NSC power plant. On my way, I went through a red room where I saw the disturbing shadow of the former director.
I had to use an elevator to get to the lower level of the maintenance sector. After navigating around for a moment, I reached the massive NSC power plant at last, hearing the hum of the machinery all around.
As soon as I saw some armed people there, I thought they would shoot me, but I understood they were not Hiss. They were real people protecting this place, and one suggested me to talk with Chief Arish in the security booth.
Then I found this control point that I claimed. With this secured, I upgraded my gears and abilities to better handle the growing threats within the Oldest House.
I was not sure where the security booth was, so I started exploring around the vast Department of Maintenance. I spent a long time searching through the pipes and industrial machinery that filled the area.
After exploring for a long time, I noticed the security booth was hidden in plain sight. I found Arish there, who explained the systems were failing; Jesse said she would take care of the water and electrical repairs herself.
