Kill everyone on the station (including yourself) and let humanity decide its own path without interference.

In the "Complete Edition/Director's Cut," the story includes a segment where Jensen is captured by Belltower Associates while stowing away on a ship to Singapore.

Returning to work, Jensen is sent to a Sarif manufacturing plant taken hostage by "Purity First," an anti-augmentation extremist group. He discovers a hacker with a neural hub who is remotely controlled by a third party, suggesting the attack was more than simple activism. Part 2: The Global Conspiracy (Hengsha & Montreal)
