1. This voice is … familiar.
2. The intro sequence shows a hidden collection of people and introduces the first hints of conspiracy.
3. What a big monitor!
4. The news from Picus isn’t encouraging.
5. And finally, Adam Jensen, helping to prepare Megan Reed to prepare to give a talk on her research.

When you get to wander around Megan’s office, you can interact with a few things here. Finding them all gets you the Old School Gamer achievement. The first is an eBook about "Patient X". It doesn’t count toward collecting all the eBooks, however. Then a toy car, a nearby book, the news, a photograph, and finally read the emails on Megan’s PC. |

6. When you’re ready to go, "talk" to Megan.

You play very little part in the next 5 minutes of being guided through the facility to David Sarif’s office. It does introduce you to some people like Declan Faherty, Eric Koss, Nia Colvin and Vasili Sevchenko |

7. ...and Frank Pritchard.
8. Your boss' office is rather nice.
9. As the cutscene comes to an end, you recite the code for the elevator - 0451. Use it to access the elevator on the left.
10. Your task - investigate the disturbance. What follows is to get you used to the basic ideas of gameplay. Follow the corridor round to this point. The big guy with the gun is Lawrence Barrett. In the office on the left you can move a crate to slip into a vent to the other side, but you can’t actually kill him during this level!
11. At the first door is your first combat experience. As you open the door, 2 guards appear at the top of the stairs and proceed to patrol the room. Keep to the right and crouch behind the cover to the far end of the room.
12. You can kill most of the guards you meet, but it will sacrifice the Pacifist achievement. Sneaking past them is possible. Slip up those stairs to the right when these two have their backs turned.
13. Through the door at the top of the stairs, and round the corner, you reach this point. There are two ways into the next lab…
14. ...You can clamber over the obstruction and follow the corridor to this door…
15. ...Or you can climb on top of the obstruction to this open vent on the top left.
16. The vent comes out here. Quietly slip down and take cover. Three guards patrol this room.
17. Whichever way you entered, your destination is that door on the left. Sneak through when the guards' backs are turned.
18. Once again follow it round to witness another murder. When Yelena Fedorova has finished, you can go through the door.
19. Four guards this time. You can knock them all out by shooting some gas canisters near to where they’re all collected in this shot - it’s a non-lethal way to get past. Or you can sneak to the open door they came through.
20. You can’t avoid meeting Jaron Namir next. In fact, it’s what sets up the whole game plot.
