    Jonas Balkar
    Club Vertica is an extremely public place. We have to get you through the casino and up to the penthouse without any bloodshed. That's where my friend Niall Piv comes in. Niall's our top slicer here. He'll make sure nobody hassles you on the way to the penthouse.
    Meteor
    Pleasure to meet you, Niall.
    Niall Piv
    Hm... oh, yes, thanks. It's nice to meet you, too.
    Jonas Balkar
    SpecForce gave us their best, so it's the least we can do. Club Vertica has a "safe list" - a list of people allowed to go in and out of the penthouse at any time. It's Niall's job to get you added to that safe list. But he needs your help.
    Niall Piv
    Hm? Oh, yes, Club Vertica's systems are highly secured. The only way to add you to the safe list is from inside the system.
    Jonas Balkar
    There's a substation down in the Lower Industrial Sector. It belongs to the casino, so its computers are tied into the casino's systems. We need you to get Niall inside.
    Meteor
    What kind of opposition should I expect?
    Jonas Balkar
    Security for the substation is heavy - the casino's contracted some of the priciest mercenaries around. Good luck to you.

    Niall Piv
    Okay, okay, let's see here. Good... good... okay, perfect. The primary access protocol is bypassed. Now we just need to start with some priority data changes to cover our real moves....
    Meteor
    Does that mean things are going well?
    Niall Piv
    Sorry? Oh, yes. They're using the old 15-Rs, so this shouldn't take long.
    Meteor
    We can't stay long, Niall. Finish as quickly as you can.
    Niall Piv
    Huh? Yes, yes, I'm going as fast as I can. Don't worry. I'm making a few system changes before I add you to the safe list, which should keep their technicians distracted from what we're really doing. Hmm... daily income reports, year-by-year earning estimates, VIP profiles....
    Club Vertica Mercenary
    There they are! Take 'em down!
    Elara Dorne
    Sir! Incoming hostiles!

    Niall Piv
    Okay. Okay... okay! There! That should do it. That should do nicely.
    Meteor
    Are we ready to move out?
    Niall Piv
    What? Oh, no, sorry. That was just the fund transfer. I moved some credits around so it would look like someone skimmed the casino's accounts, so no one would check the safe list.
    Aric Jorgan
    We got a lot more trouble coming in, boss!
    Niall Piv
    I'm adding you to the safe list now... just a little longer....
    Meteor
    We'll try to keep you covered. Just keep your head down and keep working, Niall.
    Club Vertica Mercenary Captain
    Kill them! Kill them all, now!
    Meteor
    Keep your head down, Niall! Havoc Squad! Suppressive fire!
    Elara Dorne
    Yes, sir!
    Aric Jorgan
    You got it!

    Niall Piv
    All right... all right... I can make it. I can make it from here. Whew! Thank you. Thanks for covering me. You really are the best.
    Meteor
    No problem.
    Niall Piv
    You'd better head for Club Vertica, up in the Promenade. I'll let Jonas know everything went okay. And after that, I'm taking a week off. I'll see you around. Good luck.

 were located. Club Vertica was an extremely public place and storming it directly wasn't an option, but fortunately it had a "safe list" - a list of people allowed to go in and out of the penthouse at any time. Unfortunately, Club Vertica's systems were highly secured, and the only way to add someone to the safe list was from inside the system. In the Lower Industrial Sector was a substation owned by the casino, and its computers were connected into the casino's systems. Agent Balkar asked the Havoc squad

to escort SIS slicer Niall Piv inside the substation so he could access club's systems and include Havoc members to the list. It was decided that Niall Piv would wait for the Havoc squad at the entrance to the Club Vertica security station.
Havoc Squad met with Niall Piv outside of the Club Vertica security station and escorted him to the access terminal inside the station, protecting him from Club Vertica's mercenaries

 while he was slicing the access terminal. Piv managed to add Havoc members to the "safe list" and cover his tracks so that the changes would not be discovered too early. As they retreated from the substation, Piv promised to let Balkar know that everything went well and urged Havoc to infiltrate Club Vertica before the changes to the safe list were discovered.
