Seeking Asylum

The focus returns to Hank as he traverses throughout the Commercial District to find Hoffnar. He searches through logs that lead to a secret door in a store. Hank enters the area and finds an asylum full of untreated, mentally insane Patients.

Briefing
With the entrance to the Nexus Asylums open, the only thing left to do is find Dr. Hoffnarr's office within. With any luck, he may have left some clue of what happened to Project Nexus before Director Phobos died, or even how to shut the Project down permanently.

Objectives:
1) Find Dr. Hoffnar

The Stage
Hank is greeted by a security checkpoint. A gate prevents him from proceeding, and only approved staff can pass through. If they try to pass through through the main entrance without clearance, turrets instantly kill the person. Hank instead, decides to leap the counter to avoid the entrance.

After, a gate with spikes blocks him again, but this time with Patients on the other side. They beg for Hank to flip the lever and let them out. Having no choice with him needing to pass, he flips the lever. The Patients however, are hostile and attempt to kill Hank. He has to survive for 45 seconds with Patients flooding the room for the door to unlock. In the same room, a false restricted door can be passed through, which leads to the sewers. A Firebug can be found there.

The next room is a "personality analysis" where they send tons of Patients into a single area. Guns can be found in the following room, along with Orderlies first showing up. A bunch more are doing things to the Patients. A terminal contains an order that says that no official Nexus Core personnel should be remaining in that facility. Hank continues until he's stuck in another room similar to the "personality analysis" earlier in the level.

Finally, Hank reaches the room with documents that contain information on Project Nexus. As Hank is about to leave, Jebediah Christoff shows up and stops him. He tries and fight him, but Hank still wins. Jebus was mistaken that Hank wanted power, and not to destroy Project Nexus. Relieved, he assists Hank in trying to find Hoffnar.
