Episode[]
RSV Gasoline Station[]
After the assassination at the Maibatsu Plaza, Leo and Daniel managed to escape the Project Militia. Shortly after, Leo led Daniel to Watkins Trainyard, where the Project keeps its old records stored in a nearby warehouse named Cortex Storage.
They stop by a RSV Gasoline gas station to collect some fuel to be used to burn down every file the Project has with the names of Daniel and Leo.
Once the player gains control of Leo at the gas station, they'll be provided with a Glass Shard to be used to eliminate a civilian who has a gasoline can.
At this point, the player will be instructed to use the can to pour gasoline and lure enemies towards the gasoline puddles to perform an Environmental Execution.
Security Guards hired by the Project to patrol Cortex Storage appear as a hunter group in this area. Leo must use the gasoline can to his advantage, placing gasoline puddles in strategic places and luring them into a trap. Two guards must be executed in order to reach the next area.
Gate D[]
After getting past the first two guards, a third guard is seen entering the Gate D security station from the other side, informing another guard about a notice from the office asking if they are aware about how the intruder lockdown system works.
The guard giving the notice suspects their employers are expecting intruders, while the other jokes about the employers calling about the fire drill next. This gives Leo an idea on how to get their attention - creating an actual fire to get them out of the security room.
Leo must use the gas can to pour gasoline on the pile of papers outside the warehouse and set it on fire and quickly hide in the shadows. The gas can is discarded after this action.
With the guards lured out of the security room, Leo can get access and use the panel to open the gate to the next area.
Freight Depot[]
Leo arrives in a depot full of conteiners, patrolled by more security guards. Crates can be used to climb on the conteiners and perform executions from an elevated platform.
The Ten Four Trucking company warehouse is open, identified by the company logo on a while truck trailer. Inside the warehouse, Leo must climb the crates placed on a platform to reach an open window leading directly to the front entrance of Cortex Storage, where the Project files are stored.
Conveniently, a gasoline pump with another gas can is located across the street from Cortex Storage, which can be used to burn the files.
Cortex Storage[]
Cortex Storage's doors are locked and the passage is blocked by a parked Linerunner truck. In order to get inside, Leo must climb the Linerunner and enter the adjacent Ten Four Trucking offices. A security guard is inside the offices, and must be eliminated to get open the doors. A circuit breaker box can be used to perform an Enviromental Execution.
Once the doors are unlocked, a confirmation sound will be heard. Leo enters the Cortex Storage, also guarded by security guards.
The files are located in two locked behind shutters, which can only be forced opened using a Crowbar. Leo must climb the crates placed outside one of the storages and get access from an opening on the top. Inside a storage, Leo must collect the Crowbar and open the shutters.
At this point, Leo is free to use the Crowbar to open shutter doors and gates in the area. The main objective is to bring two gasoline cans inside Cortexa Storage - one located at the aforementioned gas pump in front of the warehouse, and another located in the rear side of the warehouse accessed via shutters.
With the gasoline can, Leo must burn the piles of files marked with the names of Daniel and Leo in any order. After the first pile of files are burned down, the fire alarm will be triggered. The Watchdogs will soon arrive in a Watchdog Kuruma and go inside the warehouse.
Leo may use his weapons and elevated platforms to his advantage and eliminate the hunters before burning down the last files and finishing the job.
With the Project files of both Daniel and Leo gone, their history is officially erased and they can finally start a new life. However, Leo tells Daniel that they need to silence one last person before they can earn their freedom.

Trivia[]
- Originally, Daniel would be the playable character in this level, there are audios of Leo instructing what to do.
- The level had a different music that can be heard in the PSP 0.01 Prototype and also in its intro cutscene.
- Still in Prototype 0.01, the Cortexa warehouse was originally a Pickman Industries warehouse.
- In the gate D part you can activate the fire alarm by closing the gate and failing the episode. The interesting thing is that Leo will release a speech where he says "That wasn't clever, now was It?".
