After being teleported out of the abandoned facility and back to SIRCAA in The Forge Progress mission, Dr. Dalin will contact you via radio. You will then have to go to the D1 Hall to meet up with him.
Once at D1 hall, go straight and head up the stairs to your left to get to the D2 Level. You will hear Dr. Dalin having a conversation with Col. Korshunov, and the game will transition into a cutscene.
Exit the room where the Dr. Dalin and the Colonel are talking. Go down to the lowest floor and head to the monolith at the middle of the room. Interact with the two blue figures kneeling down. Eventually, a third blue figure will be standing by the monolith. Interact with it to progress the mission.
Defend yourself from a huge wave of hostile Ward soldiers until you wake up and transition back to reality. During the fight, you will be extremely outnumbered. You can use the pillars, staircases, and other structures in the room as cover if ever you need to heal up.
As soon as you snap back to reality, head back upstairs to meet with Dr. Dalin and Colonel Korshunov who will be right by the entrance of the D2 level. Listen to Dr. Dalin's dialogues to progress the mission.
Leave the D1 Hall, enter the room labeled B2, and take the stairs to go up to the C1 room. From there, keep going forward until you transition into a cutscene with Prof. Hermann and Agatha. From here, you will have to make the choice to let Hermann go or kill him.
| Choices | |
|---|---|
| Let Him Go | He Has to Die |
Sparing Hermann means that he will continue to be part of your story. It is still uncertain what the late game implications of this are.
Killing Hermann removes him from the story moving forward. It is still uncertain how this affects the story later on.
Follow the marker that will be moving around in your PDA Map to get to the Cryptobiology Lab entrance and approach Sgt. Mykhailov. Immediately after talking to the Sergeant, head down to the Cryptobiology Lab.
Talk to Dubny, and exhaust his dialogue. You will eventually have to choose whether to side with the Noonstriders or the Ward.
| Choices | |
|---|---|
| I'm With You | I'm With the Ward |
If you choose the I'm With You option, you will have to eliminate all the Ward soldiers in the room behind Dubny. By siding with Dubny, you will also be siding with Strider, the Noontide faction, and the Spark faction.
Choosing this option also has a different set of objectives towards the end of the mission.

If you choose the I'm With the Ward option, you will have to eliminate all the Noontiders in the room, including Dubny. Siding with the Ward means you will be siding with Dr. Dalin, Col. Korshunov, and the Ward faction.
Choosing this option will also have a different set of objectives towards the end of the mission.
▼ Jump to I'm With the Ward Objectives ▼
After killing the Ward soldiers, you will have to enter the passageway leading to X11. You'll then encounter Strider and you'll have to help him detonate a wall beside him. On the other side of the wall is Dr. Dalin, and a heated confrontation will ensue.
You will then awake in a sewer drainage system and the mission, To the Last Drop of Blood will commence.
To the Last Drop of Blood Walkthrough
After eliminating Dubny and his fellow Noontide soldiers, follow the marker on your PDA Map and Compass, which will move around as you get closer until you reach the elevator that will take you down to the X11.
Approach the bunker door, and the game will transition into a long cutscene. This marks the end of the Wishful Thinking mission and the start of the Law and Order mission.

| Mission Description | |
| Turns out Hermann was the one behind the mayhem at the Cryptobiology and Psi-Medicine Lab - the very same Hermann who led me into the Zone and gave me the Scanner. He's alive, and this device is his invention. As for Dalin... it was his unbridled ambition that left me without a home. Well, now I know who's gonna pay the price. | |
