Sink or Swim!

Location
left green phone outside the Scientist Research Center, Dominatrix
Reward
$30,000, +1 score multiplier, Scientists respect

Dr. LaBrat wants back the secret SRS data some Zaibatsu operatives have taken. Steal a Taxi Xpress, pick up four of them around the district and drive them to the South-East Dock Crane.

Before you start

The green phone only needs minimum respect with the Scientists.

Drive gently. Too much damage to the Taxi alerts the Cops, and wrecking it fails the mission.

Objectives

  1. Steal a Taxi and keep it in one piece.
  2. Pick up the first Zaibatsu at the Clock Tower.
  3. Pick up the second Z-Operative outside the Motel in Belmont.
  4. Pick up the third Z-Man outside the Hospital in Morton.
  5. Pick up the last Z-Operative in front of Alma Mater Prison.
  6. Drive the Zaibatsu operatives to the South-East Dock Crane.
  7. Get out of the car and let the crane take over.

Sink or Swim! walkthrough

Find a Taxi

Dr. LaBrat explains that Zaibatsu operatives have secret SRS data and that he wants it back. Steal a Taxi Xpress and keep it in one piece, because too much destruction will alert the Cops. Taxis often cruise the streets near the Research Center, so one should not be far away.

The Clock Tower

The first Zaibatsu man waits by the Clock Tower and suspects nothing. Pull up beside him and sound the horn so he gets in. He asks about the others, so move on to the next stop quickly.

Belmont and Morton

The second operative waits outside the Motel in Belmont. The third is outside the Hospital in Morton. Stop close to each one and honk. Take corners gently, because bumping other cars damages the Taxi and the passengers inside.

Alma Mater Prison

The last operative stands in front of Alma Mater Prison. Pick him up the same way. Once all four are in, LaBrat tells you to take your Zaibatsu friends to the South-East Dock Crane at the Research Center. Avoid the police on the way.

The crane

Drive to the dock crane at the Scientist Research Center, close to the Car Crusher crane. Stop in the marked spot and get out. The crane lifts the Taxi with the Z-Men inside and drops it into the sea.

What fails this mission

Besides dying or being arrested, the mission ends if any of these happen:

  • the Taxi Xpress is destroyed
  • the Zaibatsu passengers are killed

After the mission

Dr. LaBrat pays $30,000 and your score multiplier goes up by one. Scientists respect rises and Zaibatsu respect drops.
