Official Summary[edit]
"The player has discovered evidence that Vae Victis knows about the Lazarus Plant. They return to MAST to confront him and he reveals the truth - he organized the attacks on New Atlantis and Tau Ceti. He requests the player lie for him, however, and tell everyone it was soley Orlase - the Warlock - who triggered the attacks.\n\nThe player can then report what they uncovered to Hadrian and Percival - or lie to them - and then proceeds to share what they found with the Cabinet - or lie to them too.\n\nThe quest then finishes with two other major decisions - how to handle the discovery of the Lazarus plant (destroy it, share knowledge of it, etc.) and how to handle the Terrormorphs - by deploying the Aceles or a microbe."
Quick Walkthrough[edit]
- Speak with Vae Victis.
- Speak with Hadrian.
- Address the Cabinet.
Detailed Walkthrough[edit]
Confront Vae Victis[edit]
During your visit to Londinion you learned that terrormorphs morph from heatleeches and that this process can be greatly accelerated through lazarus plant. You also learned that Vae Victis is aware of both these facts and that he ordered the bombing of londinion spaceport to keep them his secret. And finally you strongly suspect that the terrormorph attacks on Tau Ceti and New Atlantis were deliberately executed, and Vae Victus is you prime suspect.
So it't time to return to Subsection Seven beneath the MAST Tower in New Atlantis to see if you can get any information out of him.
In Subsection Seven follow the corridor until you are in front of a stack ob crates, the go right. If you have a companion with you the High-Security Guard will, as usual, tell you that they have to wait in this area. Go into the restricted area and activate the intercom.
Vae Victus is already aware that you and Hadrian went to Londinion. Initially he tries to deny your accusations but then confesses that the attacks on Tau Ceti and New Atlantis were indeed his doing. He also need to exhibit his intellect by making you guess his motive. I you guess correctly that his motive would have to be personal you deprive him of a chance to gloat. He then claims that first he wanted to keep the plant's potential a secret because he wanted to keep the information out of enemy hands. He then reveals his final motive to twofold: To execute revenge on the United Colonies because they agreed to his execution albeit all his merits, and making Hadrian into a hero with himself beeing exonerates and installed as her trusted advisor. To that end he would like to put all blame for the attacks on Reginald Orlase. He also reveals that it was Orlease who programmed the knowledge of the Londinion steam tunnels into Kaiser.
Vae Victis has already seen to that information was sent to the cabinet that make Orlease the culprit and withhold his own involvement. He just needs you to confirm these facts to the cabinet and presents the prospect of pushing information about ciminals and other threats to the United Colonies your way.
You can tell him you inclination, but this doesn't lock in your decision for later.
Discussing Options[edit]
After your conversation meet Hadrian and Percival in a conference room at interstellar affairs. It's directly to your left when you enter the Office of Interstellar Affairs. They have good news: Both the microbe and the aceles would be as effective against heatleeches as they would be against terrormorphs, so both plans are still on the table.
The conversation's course then depends on your pervious choice to inform Hadrian that Vae Victus is alive and your choice now to tell the truth or to blame Reginals Orlease. As before this does not lock in your final descision what you tell the cabinet.
You then have a final opportunity to discuss the pros and cons of both the microbe and the aceles. Percival prefers the microbe solution but Hadrian points out that there still is a risk, even if minmal.
The Cabinet[edit]
Go to the cabinet chamber. You will first discuss the attacks and the person behind them. You now can decide if you reveal Vae Victus' involvement or if you shift the blame to Reginals Orlease.
Second you discuss what to do about the lazarus plant. President Abello decides the plant's potential needs to be kept secret but you can suggest to reveal it to the Freestar Collective.
Finally the options to end terrormorps are discussed and the President asks for your recommendation. This decision will affect the composition of Unity you can enter during One Giant Leap.
President Abello then proclaims the founding of the United Colonies Terrormporph Management Division, the TMD, and makes you, Hadrian and Percival the three founding members. To display it's gratitude the Cabinet makes all three of you "Class One Citizens".
When you talk to Commander Tuala you get another 
12,000 May be level dependent, he informs you that you now benefit from further discounts in the UC and that the Cabinet gave you Mercury Tower Penthouse. You need to see Aphelion Realty regarding the penthouse.

- Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g.,
<Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Mission system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game. - Not all entries may appear in your log; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the mission is done.
- Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with missions that have multiple possible outcomes or missions where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
- If an entry is marked as "Finishes Mission" it means the mission disappears from the Active Mission list, but you may still receive new entries for that mission.
- On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the mission by entering
