Quick notes
- Choose tools as well as a protagonist. Jill has a lockpick and access to the grenade launcher; Chris lacks those advantages and must use different keys and weapons.
- Listen to Barry and Rebecca. Barry is Jill's recurring partner, while Rebecca joins Chris's story.
- Treat wounded teammates as urgent. Finding a S.T.A.R.S.
Follow the scenario you selected; Barry’s and Rebecca’s assistance is not interchangeable.
