Event Details:

"The Space City incident, the AZ3 crisis, ambitious Hudson's flagrant disregard for the rules, and his daughter Cami's doubts and accusations have thrust Haavk Security Director Desmoulins into a double crisis, both professional and personal. Will she keep playing by the rules and the Adage, climbing the ranks one step at a time? Or will she embrace radical change and strike Hudson down by any means necessary? Follow the Polaris's guidance and see how this iron-willed director holds the line on both fronts as everything threatens to fall apart!"

● Identity Requirements:

● Desmoulins's Squad Ability Overview:

○ "Security Director — Anais Desmoulins":

■ Tactical Gear: Neural-Controlled Vehicle

Deploys and controls a Haavk cutting-edge Neural-Controlled Vehicle for remote combat operations. The vehicle is equipped with a multi-function Broń Station, featuring combat modules such as an MG, Grenade Launcher, Threat Imaging System, and Seeker Bomb Vehicle.

■ Tactical Gear: Threat Imaging System

Activates her imaging system to scan and mark nearby threats, and share target data with squadmates. While active, gains increased handling and ADS movement speed based on her equipped weapon, along with additional buffs. When in a vehicle, she can lock onto enemy targets, enabling lock-on for certain vehicle weapons.

■ Tactical Gear: Seeker Bomb Vehicle

Deploys a Seeker Bomb Vehicle that moves forward, searching for enemies. Upon detecting a target, it automatically locks on, pursues the target, and detonates after a short delay.

■ Weakness Analysis

Desmoulins applies a lasting Weakness effect to enemies hit. Affected targets have reduced armor repair speed and slower use of certain medical items, increasing recovery time. If a target enters the Dying state, their Bleed Rate increases and their mobility while Downed is reduced.

○ "Adjutant — Athos Leal":

■ Tactical Gear: Remote Bomb

Throws a remote bomb that can be manually detonated after attaching, or detonates automatically after a longer delay. It can attach to the Neural-Controlled Vehicle, greatly extending the automatic detonation timer while attached.

■ Tactical Gear: Smoke Grenade

Fires a smoke grenade that bursts on impact. The grenade can attach to the Neural-Controlled Vehicle, continuously releasing smoke from the attachment point for a set duration.

■ Operator Trait: Haavk Elite

Drags allies to safety. When the Adjutant is near Desmoulins or the Neural-Controlled Vehicle, direct damage dealt by either one to an enemy operator briefly increases the Adjutant's movement speed.

○ "Adjutant — Aramis Orgueil":

■ Tactical Gear: Flare

Fires a flare that hovers in place after traveling a set distance, periodically scanning for enemy operators. The flare can attach to the Neural-Controlled Vehicle and periodically scan from the attachment point.

■ Tactical Gear: Airburst Grenade

Fires an airburst grenade that detonates after a fixed delay, dealing damage. The grenade can attach to the Neural-Controlled Vehicle without changing its detonation delay.

■ Operator Trait: Haavk Elite

Drags allies to safety. When the Adjutant is near Desmoulins or the Neural-Controlled Vehicle, direct damage dealt by either one to an enemy operator briefly increases the Adjutant's movement speed.

● Mission Overview:

○ By decoding the special neural frequency band used by Haavk Security Director Anais Desmoulins, we have successfully simulated her neural device's perspective and behavioral patterns, hoping that intensive, in-depth simulation will help us reverse-engineer the story behind Polaris Patrol...

○ Desmoulins File: Sealed within the protection of a Safe Box, Desmoulins's cherished personal memories slowly unfold. What secrets lie hidden in the past she watches over? Explore the five memories within the box—sync, feel, and understand.

○ After completing the Desmoulins File, you'll unlock the Desmoulins identity option in Polaris Patrol mode, as well as access to Director's To-Do tasks in Polaris Challenge.

By completing these challenges, experience a story unfolding within the Haavk workplace, and earn exclusive operator voice line rewards.

○ Prywatny Mailbox: We have obtained access to Desmoulins's Haavk corporate email account. As you progress through Polaris Challenge and raise your Performance Rank, you'll continuously receive various emails from Desmoulins' social network. Put yourself in her shoes and consider: if you held a position of power like Ms. Anais Desmoulins, how would your every word and action deeply affect your friends, enemies, and even family...
