Chief Financial Suites are a type of mission which can occur in both Campaign modes and Endless modes. The primary objective of a Chief Financial Suite mission is to locate the Financial Executive, knock him out and conduct a brain scan for a number of turns. The reward for successfully completing the brain scan is a Vault Access Card.

The executive has been located. Disable him and get his cerebral implant ready for the interrogation.

When the Financial Executive is KOed while an agent is a Euclidian distance of 3 or less from him for the first time, a 6-turn counter will begin. You will be able to track its progress using the 6 bars under “Brain scan in progress” under the “Objectives” tab. Once the 6 turns have elapsed, a Vault Access Card will appear on the tile where the executive is. The corporation's Security Response is triggered after the 3rd turn of the scan has elapsed.

The Financial Executive will always be KOed for 6 turns.

If any of the following happen, the brain scan will fail, and you will be unable to retry (and therefore unable to get the Vault Access Card this mission:

• At any point during the scan, there is not a non-KOed and non-lethally wounded agent whose Euclidian distance from the Financial Executive is 5 or less
  • Central will warn you when you move your closest agent further than a Euclidian distance of 3 from the Financial Executive. This means that you sometimes can move one more step when this warning occurs.
• The Financial Executive is killed.
• The Financial Executive wakes up during the interrogation. Note that the Vault Access Card will still be dropped if he wakes up on the same turn that the scan finishes, and that along with the 6 turn KO the chief executive always suffers when KOed means this can only happen if the Jolt daemon is triggered during the scan while the chief executive isn't pinned, or if you initially KOed him from more than 3 tiles away and didn't get within 3 tiles of him the turn you did so. In either of those cases, the Financial Executive will need to be pinned for some time for the Vault Access Card to be obtained.

Dammit! He got a signal out. Expect more company soon.
