Levels are a little calmer, different drone types now become common place, there is a lot more freedom in what can be hacked here

While hacking into the 4th computer the player receives messages from another contracted worker. After some dialogue, this character quickly develops into an obstacle for the player who's goal is to tell on you and prevent you from uploading the information. He hacks your computer whenever you try to upload, deploys more drones into areas that you previously passed through, locks doors and is generally a pain in the ass. He also inadvertently gives the player the idea to go to the penthouse and get the boss to confess his sins in person.

The previous rooms/levels are now harder as hacking becomes more difficult and more drones appear, this is the hardest part of the game due to increased drones and less effective hacks
