[scene opens with Michael Ford communicating with the supposed terrorist Prometheus via computer]
FORD: All right, Prometheus, what's going on here? First you try to kill me, and now you're helping me? Who's side are you on, really?
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] I'm on your side, Michael. I know it's hard to believe, but hear me out. Adams has been using you since the beginning. Now that you've served your purpose, he wants you out of the picture.
FORD: Why should I believe you?
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] Right now, you don't need to. You just need to listen.
[a blueprint of the Library of Congress appears on the monitor]
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] There's a Drudge nest underneath the Library of Congress. It has to be destroyed before they infest the city, and you're the only one who can do it.
[the schematics for a suit of body armor appears on the monitor]
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] I've given you a suit of Trust armor that we confiscated from one of Adams' weapon caches. I haven't been able to completely activate all its functions yet, but it will protect you from some damage and slowly regenerate your health. I just hope it's enough.
FORD: Hold on a minute, you still haven't explained what's going on here.
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] There's no time, Michael. That nest is a ticking bomb, and this city is doomed if it should go off. You've got to hurry!
FORD: I'll go along with you for now, but if you're lying to me, I'll take you down ... hard. Do you understand me?
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] I would expect nothing less.
[cut to a shot inside the Library of Congress, as armed guards are stationed everywhere]
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] Be careful, Michael ... Adams has puppets stationed throughout this building, with orders to kill anyone they see.
[Ford takes out his weapon and begins killing the guards]
ADAMS: [via intercom] Mister Ford! What an unexpected surprise!
FORD: Adams, what sort of game are you playing?
ADAMS: [via intercom] Oh, this is no game, Mister Ford. It is deadly serious ... The Trust has guided this nation for over two hundred years. We shaped it into the pre-eminent superpower on the planet, and we will continue to improve it by any means necessary.
[Ford continues fighting off the guards, weaving his way around several display cases and climbing up the stairs in order to avoid gunfire]
ADAMS: [via intercom] I understand that our methods may appear ... extreme, but I assure you, the country will emerge from this crisis stronger than ever! If you truly want to serve your country, join us! The Trust could use people like you!
FORD: Go to hell.
ADAMS: [via intercom] Pity ... I'll keep the offer open, but I'm going to need that ASE back, one way or another.
["Objective Added" appears on screen, as Ford makes his way down a corridor]
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] Michael, come in! Michael? Are you there?
FORD: Prometheus? Where were you?
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] Sorry, Adams has some sort of jamming technology. I had to work around it ... To reach the Drudge nest, we'll have to hack into the Trust mainframe. There should be a data port in the Library's main reading room.
[Ford makes his way further into the library (passing several study tables and bookshelves), until he reaches a corridor where the walls are covered in extraterrestrial egg sacs]
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] Be careful around those. They are incredibly dangerous.
[he moves forward, when they suddenly "hatch" to reveal small alien creatures called "Tear-Mites"]
FORD: What the hell are they?
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] I suggest you prepare yourself. The incubation site will be crawling with them.
[the kills the Tear-Mites, then makes his way further into the library]
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] Keep moving, don't let them close in on you!
[he continues making his way towards the library's main reading room]
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] Don't stop, the reading room is just ahead!
[he kills some more Tear-Mites, then moves forward until he finds himself in the main reading room, as "Objective Completed" appears on screen]
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] I'm picking up signals from a Trust data port. Secure the room while I try to locate it.
[he kills the Tear-Mites and guards protecting the reading room, then "Objective Completed" appears on screen]
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] Found it. It's behind a secure door. You'll have to hack the door lock to open it.
[he uses the All Seeing Eye to open the door and activate the computer terminal inside the room, as "Objective Completed" appears on screen, then a timer appears and counts down from "1:30"]
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] You triggered the fail-safe. I'll need some time to keep it from wiping its memory core.
[waves of Tear-Mites suddenly fill the reading room, as Ford continues blasting away until the timer reaches the thirty-second mark]
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] Not much longer ...
[he kills more enemies, as the timer reaches the ten-second mark]
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] Few more seconds ...
[he kills more enemies, as the timer reaches zero]
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] I managed to salvage the access codes before the system shut down. Now clear the area of any remaining Drudge before you proceed.
[he kills the last of the Tear-Mites]
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] Enterin access codes ...
[cut to the middle of the reading room, as a secret passage in the floor opens and several flying aliens (called "Para-Mites") emerge]
[Ford kills the Para-Mites and enters the secret passage, leading to the sewer system beneath the library]
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] This is part of the DC sewer system. The nest is located deep within it.
["Objective Added" appears on screen, as Ford kills more enemies before reaching a set of steel bars blocking his entry]
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] The floodgate is as sturdy as any security door. You'll need to find the valve that controls it.
[he finds the valve and turns it]
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] Good. All the doors down here should operate the same way.
[he continues his way through the sewer system]
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] The ASE is detected Drudge DNA in the water. You must be getting close.
[he eventually reaches a room filled with egg sacs, as "Objective Completed" appears on screen]
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] These Drudge are nothing but monsters, Michael ... Abominations! Do whatever you have to do to bring down this entire nest!
[he destroys all thirty egg sacs in the room (as well as the various enemies that appear to try and stop him), as "Objective Completed" appears on screen]
PROMETHEUS: [via intercom] Good work, Michael! That should put a serious dent in the Drudge forces, but our work is just starting ... Get outta there, and we'll plan our next move.

From wikia.com:

"Trust" is the fourth mission in Nintendo Wii game "The Conduit". It takes place in the Library of Congress, where Prometheus sends you to search for any alien activity and deal with it accordingly.

When Michael Ford was a Secret Service agent, John Adams contacts him, and tells him that he is a part of a secret government organization known as The Trust, and that the President has given him permission to recruit Ford for a special assignment. A terrorist known as Prometheus stole a valuable Trust prototype. He and his men are on their way to Reagan National Airport, and Ford, along with Adams' men and U.S. military forces will be waiting for him. At the airport, The Trust agents turn against Ford, and Adams assumes they are working for Prometheus. Ford makes his way through the airport, encountering canisters of a strange orange gas along the way. This is how Prometheus has turned the Trust agents against him. Ford boards the train that Prometheus is supposed to be using, and fights his way to the front car. One of Prometheus's men, a scientist, detonates several bombs that destroys the train. Ford survives and recovers the prototype, codenamed the All-Seeing Eye (ASE).

Mr. Adams reveals that Prometheus was never on board the train, but he has located Prometheus' base under the city in a government bunker. He sends Ford in solo for his own safety. In the bunker, Ford discovers prototype weapons, advanced technology, a neuro-toxin, and a race of aliens known as the Drudge. The first Drudge he sees is identified by Adams' as a Drone. Ford manages to hack into the computer mainframe with the ASE and steals secret files detailing an alien invasion. Then he finds out that Prometheus' men are planning on releasing the toxin into the water supply. He manages to destroy all traces of the neuro-toxin. When he emerges from the bunker near the Jefferson Memorial, Adams praises him for his prowess, but then turns on him and leaves to die as a whole Drudge militia converge on the Memorial.

Ford is contacted by the "terrorist" Prometheus through the ASE who says he wants to help him. Ford decides to go along with him for now and purges the Memorial of the Drudge attack force. Prometheus then sends a helicopter to pick Ford up. He informs Michael of a Drudge nest under the Library of Congress. Ford arrives at the Library to find it overrun by Puppet Humans and Drudge forces. He slowly makes his way to the main Reading Room where Prometheus hacks into the Trust mainframe. This opens a path to the sewers, but also releases a swarm of flying Para-Mites. Ford manages to take them out and jumps down into the sewers below the Library. After navigating the twisting passageways and tunnels he finds himself in a huge room filled with egg sacs of every type. Ford manages to clear out the nest and escape back to higher ground.

Radio Locations and Transcripts
Trust (04)

Radio 4-1:

* Location: On a table in a small room right before the pillar hallway infested with Hatchers.

* Number of channels: 7

* Channel 1:

Gordon Wells: Where are all the bodies from the cemeteries being taken? Are they creating puppets to integrate into our society? Are we surrounded by agents of this conspiracy? What did we learn from Operation Ember Cliff? Were there great secrets kept buried somewhere? Did our government stumble upon some secret the Atlanteans deemed too dangerous to allow us to have? I think the 1984 Rajneeshee attacks were a prototype of the Bug. I think they are preparing us for conversion. Maybe we've been too thorough in uncovering mysteries. Before, we had Allen Dulles, J. Edgar Hoover, Earl Warren, Gerald Ford, Lyndon Johnson, Ben Franklin, and so many others, ALL Freemasons! Now who do we have? Have we rooted out the control of our government too much? Is this why we are being attacked? Experts say that humans can live to one thousand. ONE THOUSAND!! This sounds unworldly, does it not!? Restricting embryonic research, hmm? Maybe because it would uncover governmental manipulation of our very DNA? Maybe we are being forced to die! Some researcher seems to think so.

* Channel 2:

John Wayne Guy: This situation shows us that we have to be prepared for attacks at any time. We have scattered reports of huge unrest throughout the D.C. metro area. We have callers referring to some possible mutation of the Bug, or a new wave of terror attacks possibly aimed at our government. They speak of people becoming erratic or psychotic in their behavior. All people still inside the D.C. metro area should barricade themselves in their homes and do not answer their doors. Rescue personnel will find you once the city has calmed down and the National Guard have established control in your area. I repeat, all listeners still inside the D.C. metro area, barricade yourself inside your homes. Do not answer your door. Do not check on your neighbors. I have consulted with a former Homeland Security agent who's advised that all civilians get to the lowest level of their homes with a flashlight, canned food, and water for three days, and a first aid kit. Portable radios are advised, and inhabited buildings should place a large "X" using duct tape or other materials over their doors to indicate to rescue workers where you are. Do not answer your door for anyone. Remain inside during this crisis. Those requiring medical attention are advised to tie a strip of red fabric to their door handles in addition to the "X". The National Guard is ill-prepared to meet this onslaught of violence. Mark my words, this type of attack could lead to a lengthy clearing process by which we establish a cordoned area around the D.C. metro area. With requirements for CDC testing, as well as security of the area in general, we could be looking at more than a year before we are even able to return to our homes.

* Channel 3:

Jared X. Fulton: It has been reported that the fire has been heavy in the northwest pavilion of the Library of Congress. No word yet on any casualties. Suspicions have quickly surfaced that the fires were deliberately set by terrorists in the recent series of attacks that have swept Washington, D.C. National Guardsman have been notified and are ready for any kind of response. Multiple gunshots have been heard at the Library of Congress. This, compounded with the fire, makes this a likely terrorist attack.

* Channel 4:

[Random messages]

* Channel 5:

Fang Jorgensen: I've got more news on Mitch Angst of local metal band Crash Murder. He was infected recently with the Bug and now it looks like he's gone missing from the Bradley General Hospital. Surely he has gone to do the bidding of the Dark One ... Strange, the Library of Congress is under attack by the demonic horde. They seem to be burning into the ground with their blessed hellfire. But why? Who knows what rare books may be housed in that building. Perhaps the demons were sent there to find a rare, arcane tome for their master, and to lay waste to all that stands in their way.

* Channel 6:

Autumn Wanderer: Hello, my children! This is Autumn's Earthly Delights, and I am Autumn Wanderer. Today I'm excited to say we have entered a glorious new era as we have finally made contact with extra-terrestrial visitors. Communication, though, was initially flawed, due to the visitors being attacked by government agencies. The visitors arrived here from across the cosmos, choosing the Jefferson Memorial as a location to land upon Mother Earth and make peaceful contact with the world. But the patriarch sent his bloodthirsty dogs to attack our visitors. All they were trying to do was defend themselves. Don't believe their lies! Well, I wouldn't doubt that the memorial's destruction was, in fact, the government's fault. I believe this is a horrible conspiracy perpetuated by the government in order to control the masses. The visitors are not our enemies. The people in power want to enslave us so they can live their over-indulgent lifestyles. These beings are not trying to kill us, they are our friends.

* Channel 7:

Timothy Browning: If you're just joining us, folks, there has been breaking news of a fire at the Library of Congress. Reports are sketchy, at best. But word is that this could be another terrorist attack. If so, this will be a costly blow to the American taxpayer. The costs of these attacks, in their own right, is staggering. Of course, these costs go straight to the taxpayer, which will make life even harder in these tough times. I believe that we should explore sponsorships from private industries to make sure that our national landmarks are repaired and maintained. Reports have come in that, in addition to a fire at the Library of Congress, now we have gunshots. There definitely is some sort of conflict happening there. Hopefully we can get more information on the terrorists.

Radio 4-2:

* Location: After descending a granite stairwell, right before the Organic lock that blocks the main reading room.

* Number of channels: 3

* Channel 1:

Alpha 1: Delta 6 is rogue, Delta 6 is rogue! Overwatch, he's shooting us! Request permission to return fire. Oh my God, oh my God! Overwatch, Delta 6 is down. Delta 6, KIA. Please advise.

Overwatch: Alpha 1, Sector 7 clear. Reporting no Tangos. Repeat, Sector 7 clear.

Alpha 1: Proceeding to Sector 8.

* Channel 2:

Unit 20: Dispatch, Unit 20 and I are at the Library of Congress. We think we've found a stash of strange-looking weapons? I don't recognize it, but, it's in this tunnel behind a false wall. Please advise.

Unit 6: Unit 6 here, 3rd floor is secure. I've got a suspicious man wandering around in the north courtyard. Awaiting orders.

Unit 20: Dispatch, this is Unit 20. I've got some guys here acting like Feds but refusing to show identification. They're obviously armed and...whuh, wha? THEY'RE SHOOTING US! REPEAT, SHOTS FIRED! SHOTS FIRED!

* Channel 3:

Emergency Alert System: *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* This is a bulletin from the Emergency Alert System. The following agencies of the Federal Government are not in operation due to lack of attendance: U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, Department of Agriculture, Department of Commerce, Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Labor, Department of State, Department of the Treasury, Department of Veterans' Affairs.

Emergency Alert System: *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* This is a bulletin from the Emergency Alert System. Washington Metro bus service to the Adams, Morgan, and Dupont Circle neighborhoods is canceled due to flooding.

Emergency Alert System: *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* This is a bulletin from the Emergency Alert System. All residents infected or suspected of being infected with the Bug must be added to the new National Registry of Infected Persons before receiving treatment. Failure to comply may result in fines up to ten thousand dollars and eighteen months in prison for the infected persons and the medical professionals who treat them without permission.

Emergency Alert System: *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* This is a bulletin from the Emergency Alert System. A terror suspect, known as the "Jade Emperor", has escaped from a United States detention center. He is also known to have used the alias "Qin Shi Huang". This suspect is considered armed and dangerous.

Radio 4-3:

* Location: After entering the D.C. sewer system, on an orange shelf in a barred area, before descending the rusty double staircase to the Hatcher infested sewers.

* Number of channels: 7

* Channel 1:

Gordon Wells: We are being cut off from the outside world. My broadcasts are not reaching the rest of my listening nation. Is it because we have some huge cover-up? The storm so CONVENIENTLY blanketing us restricts air travel and the broadcasts are limited in range. We need to get word to the outside world. I have reports that there is some sort of disturbance in the waters off the coast of Puerto Rico. We need more information. Any listener with information on this matter, PLEASE contact the station. I suspect the clouds of the storm to be seeded with the Bug. If it begins to rain, seek shelter immediately. The National Archives need to be protected. We KNOW that many secrets are held there in the secret wing held by the Masons. Anyone who has information, please relay such updates to me directly via my website. My signal seems to be experiencing some interference. I'll be off the air shortly while I try to track down the nature of the disturbance. The revolution continues.

* Channel 2:

Jared X. Fulton: Several sources, and confirmed video, show that individuals inside the Library of Congress, dressed in creature costumes, are setting fires and attacking police. What the hell is going on? The fires have been said to be under control for the moment, but gunshots are still being heard coming from the national landmark. More to come, after this.

* Channel 3:

Timothy Browning: We have just received information that the terrorists are apparently ... (*silence*). Sorry for the interruption, folks. We'll have more information as it comes in. The D.C. Fire Department is on the scene and it seems that the fires are under control. No word yet of any further gunplay. Perhaps when the damage has been assessed and the costs of repair are tallied we can obtain a corporate sponsor for the Library's repair.

* Channel 4:

John Wayne Guy: Baffling reports of inhuman attackers are reaching us. Personally, this indicates to me that a hallucinogenic agent or some manner of mass hysteria seems to be gripping our survivors. Those owning gas masks and water filtration methods should be employing them. We can not be too careful. But if you do begin to see these alien images, lock yourself in a bathroom or basement and remain calm. Try to regulate your breathing, review what you've consumed in the last twenty-four hours. If this is indeed some new chemical attack on our people all possible information as to the root of the matter will be necessary. I have reports that submarine forces are supporting the National Guard refugee efforts. Citizens are being quarantined for the time being. Those fears of chemical or biological agents infecting the populace at large have been noted. Please co-operate with these officials. We are experiencing some bleed through on our signal at this hour. Concerns that subversion or interference due to this attack is being performed caused us to investigate this matter. Our technicians are checking the signal tower and we should have the matter resolved soon. Anyone knowing information can...their... ...anyone has been scanning other channels and noticed similar interference, please record the exact frequency of the interruption or rogue signal.

* Channel 5:

Fang Jorgensen: We've received reports that the police and military are trying to combat the demons. Brave, but pointless. They cannot be stopped. There is no way to fight the inevitable. The darkness is approaching, and we are charged to join with it. The Fourth Gate has revealed our fate. The Fifth Gate has placed us on its path. Will you go through the Sixth Gate? We've got Said Velocity, Demenics, and Kilgore comin' up in a second. You are listening to the Fang Bang Metal Show with Fang Jorgensen. Stay tuned.

* Channel 6:

Autumn Wanderer: Listen to the silence and hear the truth from the Earth spirits. The other-worldly beings are here to help us see the error of our ways, and to bring us the greater truth of our existence. Allow Gaia to help you understand! It seems that the military has needlessly attacked our visitors yet again. This time, the Government troops have chased the visitors into the Library of Congress. Eyewitnesses believe that the troops are trying to choke the extra-terrestrials out with tear gas. Let us PRAY to the mother for our visitors' safety. In order to prevent the cruel treatment of other-worldly beings, I believe we should stage a protest on the steps of the Library of Congress. We have to let the Government KNOW that the people will not tolerate their lies any more. People from another planet have rights, too! Let's stop shooting them and start loving them.

Hidden Messages Within the Library of Congress

10. "MDCCLXXVI"

Location: After the second organic lock, you enter a second, rectangular library area with five staircases on both sides of the room. Look to your right and you'll see two American flags. Scan the wall between the two American flags.

Explanation:
MDCCLXXVI is the Roman numeralization of the number 1776, the year that the Declaration of Independence for the United States was signed.

11. "Under the terms of the treaty the Shugurra was returned!"

Location: In the third rectangular library area with all the red pulse boxes, there is a Therm-Mite hatcher on the far wall between two American flags. Face the hatcher and turn 90 degrees to the right. Scan the wall between the last right-hand set of stairs and the door that you can't go through.

Explanation:
In Sumerian myth, the 'Shugurra' was a crown; the term means 'that which makes go far into the universe'. The character in the myths who wore the crown was Mari, who is comparable to Christianity's Mary, mother of Jesus; however, Mari predates the Virgin Mary by about 3000 years. The treaty, potentially, refers to every 2000-3000 years there is a different 'age' of mankind, and how Mari ascended to the heavens upon the conclusion of that age.

12. "The Condon Committee was ours!"

Location: After the ghost mines, you enter an area where you have to go down a set of granite steps with a statue of a lady holding a torch/lamp in her hand. As you head down the steps, make sure the statue of the lady is on your right hand side, and scan the granite wall straight ahead.

Explanation:
The Condon Committee was an informal title given to the UFO project at the University of Colorado, established to study claims made about UFOs as well as potential sightings.

13. "Fight and die for the NWO!"

Location: At the end of the first sewer system tunnel there is a large circular opening on the left that you enter. Before entering the circular sewer, scan the wall to the right of the circular sewer opening.

Explanation:
NWO stands for 'New World Order'. There exists a conspiracy theory that uses the term 'New World Order' for the advent of a one-world government slowly being created.

14. "Humans should fear the world they call Eris"

Location: At you exit the circular sewer section, you see an alcove on the left, next to a rusty staircase that leads down. In the alcove, scan the wall to the left of the rusty staircase.

Explanation:
Eris is the largest (known) dwarf planet in the Solar System, approximately 27 percent larger than Pluto. The idea that humans should fear it implies that Eris harbors hostile alien life. It is interesting to note that Eris was almost named 'Xena,' after the famous TV series warrior princess; Xena: The Warrior Princess is a spin-off of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, which starred Kevin Sorbo as the titular character- Sorbo voiced 'Prometheus' for the game.

15. "The Ducaz came before the Drudge"

Location: After you exit the circular sewer area with the tentacles, turn to your left and you'll see a Drudge turret. Take out the turrent, and scan the concrete section of the left hand wall. This scan is in the area before you get locked in the Drudge Hatchery fight.

Explanation:
The Reptilians or Ducaz were sent by their "masters", the Nephilim or Elohim to fight in wars with other alien races and to serve as their spies, bodyguards, and police force.
