Background
You have shaken off years of WEC conditioning and gone over to the Resistance. Your reasons are your own, although you were pushed over the edge when the WEC treacherously slaughtered your squad for refusing to massacre unarmed civilians.
Many in the Resistance are sure that you're a WEC plant β a double agent β but ultimately the Resistance cannot afford not to take a chance on a combat machine like you. Your former employers want to kill you and your new allies don't trust you, but that's fine. You know what needs to be done.
Missions
Before you begin a mission, your commanding officer will give you your mission objectives in a video briefing. You can review your objectives at any time during the mission by using the datalink in your Item Inventory.
Mission Objectives
When you use the datalink you'll be given a readout of your current mission objective. It's a good idea to check your datalink multiple times during a mission, because many missions have more than one objective.
Your datalink is continually updated by the Resistance as the situation evolves. Once all your mission objectives are completed, you will be contacted by a Resistance extraction specialist and given instructions on where to go to teleport back to the rebel base.
