I fought through waves of Hiss to fix three NSC energy converters before reaching the darkened control room. After lifting the internal lockdown via the directorial override, I returned to Emily Pope. Jesse revealed the truth about the slide projector and her missing brother, setting her next sights on finding Marshall in Research.
Right after reaching the converter room, I faced some Hiss soldiers there. I had to take them down quickly before I could even think about starting the repairs.
I started fixing the NSC energy converters and noticed there were three in total. I had to fight off aggressive Hiss soldiers in waves during every single stage of the process.
Once the converters were fixed, I had to reach the NSC control room to lift the lockdown. The room was shrouded in darkness and packed with Hiss soldiers I had to eliminate.
While taking down the Hiss, I got a little lost and ran around the control room for a bit. Eventually, I realized I was in the right place and needed to cleanse the point first.
I reached the console for the directorial override. Jesse used the Service Revolver as a tool to initiate the sequence, and it looked like the lockdown was finally lifted.
With the other sectors now accessible, I used fast travel to get to Central Executive. I headed straight for the boardroom to speak with Emily Pope and finish the mission.
Emily was happy that I survived the override. This time, Jesse decided to be honest with Emily about her past and why she was truly at the Bureau.
Jesse explained finding an old slide projector in Ordinary's landfill as a kid. She talked about the being they found through one of the doors and her missing brother, Dylan.
Pope mentioned Trench and Darling's involvement, noting that Marshall went to the Research Sector for HRA production. A cinematic then showed Ahti reminding Jesse that she now owes him a favor.

Fixing those converters while being swarmed by the Hiss looked like a high-pressure moment. It should be a relief when that last one finally clicked into place.
The control room looked so eerie in the darkness. Getting a bit lost is totally understandable, as the architecture of the Oldest House is meant to be confusing.
That cinematic with Ahti at the end was perfect. You definitely do not want to be in debt to the janitor, but he is so helpful.
The fight around the NSC converters sounded very dangerous. The Hiss waves during each repair stage must have been stressful but you handled the pressure well.
I like the moment when Jesse Faden used the Service Revolver for the directorial override. It was important, like a true Director taking control of the Bureau.
