Operation: Anchorage - 40 pts

This is it son, the mission you've been training for. Get out there, disable that pulse field and send those Commie bastards back to hell!

Once again you'll find yourself at the American HQ, so make any changes you need to your team and weapons and get a move on. Head on out of the HQ and head towards where all of the shelling is. Watch your step! Head down into the trenches and when you come across Chinese soldiers, kill them. Shortly after entering the trenches and coming across your first Chinese soldier, you'll come to a shack. In the shack is your ninth piece of intel.

Keep pressing forward through the trenches and kill anyone who gets in your way. Flamethrower equipped Inferno Troopers will pop out behind you from time to time, making for a very painful and crispy departure from the simulation so check your six often. Soldiers will also fire upon you from above ground, so if you're taking damage and no one is above or behind you, look up. Once done in the trenches you'll come to some blasted out buildings that you'll have to move through before you can get to the Pulse Field. You'll have some American soldiers outfitted with Power Armor to help you out, so either hang back and let them do all of the heavy lifting, or sprint forward to get to the pulse field.

The Pulse Field is defended by a single bunker containing two soldiers and two turrets, so head in the back door, secure the bunker and then move down the path to the Pulse Field's control switch. Before hitting the switch to disable the Pulse Field, check next to the switch for your tenth and final piece of intel. Look at you, you're all covert and stuff. You won't get a special message about obtaining your new perk, but you will see it in your perk list upon completing the simulation. Hit the switch to disable the Pulse Field and then watch as the American soldiers head towards the Chinese base of operations.

Follow the American soldiers and enter the Chinese base to see that the battle has already started without you. If you want to get through this battle without taking a scratch, now would be a good time to save. The boss for this quest, General Jingwei is in the process of executing an American soldier with his fancy electrical sword. After killing the soldier, he'll address you directly. If you can pass the speech check, you can convince him to surrender and he'll kill himself. If not, you'll have to fight him. He can be pretty tough, so use everything in your arsenal against him as you can't take any of it with you. I backpedaled and threw down landmines, which did a good job, however it did piss off the American troops and they started shooting at me too. However you decide to take Jingwei out of the picture, once he's dead, General Grant will appear in front of you, tell you how awesome you are and the simulation will end.

Once back in the real world, head down the hall to where all of the Outcasts are milling about the closed door and nearby terminal. Use the terminal and open the armory door. Yay for you! You've completed Operation Anchorage, and have a shiny new achievement to prove it. When you head into the armory and start checking out all of your new gear, you'll hear Defender Sibley telling Protector McGraw that Sibley ain't taking none of McGraw's jibber-jabber, and is certainly not happy about a filthy local such as yourself taking all of those shiny new guns. McGraw and Sibley will continue to argue until eventually a fight starts. The rebel Outcasts can be killed without any Karmic penalty or fear of Outcast reprisals, so go ahead and take them out before they take you out. If Specialist Olin is still alive after the fracas, she'll repair your gear for a price. With a repair skill of 51, she has the best repair skill in the Wastelands, provided you didn't invest in the caravans. Of course, this comes at a price, but the increased effectiveness of your newly repaired gear is worth it.

In the armory you'll find all sorts of nice goodies including a scoped Gauss Rifle, a set of winterized T51-B power armor and your very own set of Chinese Stealth Armor. Now you too can look like the Crimson Dragoon at the next office Halloween party. General Jingwei's sword is also there if you're the type to take trophies from your kills. Once you have everything you need, head back to the freight elevator, take it up to the surface and go about your merry way content in the knowledge that Anchorage was safe because of you. Well, until the bombs blew it up.
