On the fourth and final day of The Operator, you had previously captured the mysterious The Ghost and quickly learned how to defuse bombs. Now you know that all the events and cases are interconnected.

In The Operator, it's your second day at the FDI, and things are about to get more complicated.
PostsHowever, to learn even more, you'll need to take risks. Are you curious about who Hal really is? Or what your role is in these events? Are you sure you want to uncover the truth? To do this, you must assist Agent Andrews, who has infiltrated the FDI building and uncover the truth. We'll be with you through this guide on your final day.
How To Solve The Surveillance Case
Start your fourth and final day by logging into your system. As soon as you begin, Agent Alexandra Pendell, who you assisted with the bomb defusal yesterday, will call you. After discussing yesterday's events, she will mention something she found and send you a folder named Lab. Inside, there will be two files: 'Dear EVE' and 'Vials'.
In the 'Dear EVE' file, you will see writings about Henry's lost daughter and his efforts to erase traumas. The 'Vials' file contains some lab samples. After examining these, Hacker Hal will message you, discussing the events of the previous day and the Ghost. He will also mention the fire at Mia's house and a bug found there.
Next, Agent Andrews, who is close to Mia and investigating her case, will call you and send you a folder named 'Surveillance'. This folder contains only one file called 'VIDEO_FEED', and you need to figure out who owns the monitored apartment.
The answer to this question is quite interesting, though it might be difficult to deduce who the apartment belongs to. In the video feed, you can zoom in on a cat, and there's damage on the wall caused by the apartment's proximity to the tram. If you click on the question mark above, Hal will ask if the apartment seems familiar to you.
Remember the sounds you hear every day when you shut down your computer: the sound of a cat and the tram passing by. Yes, the monitored apartment is none other than your own. Therefore, the name you need to write in HumanDB is your own name, Evan Tanner. Link the 'ID Person Being Watched' task to your name in HumanDB.
After discussing this matter with Agent Andrews and Hal, Hal will mention a hidden file on your computer. He will tell you that the password for this file is 'ALICE'. This hidden file is located in the Trash on your computer, which you can access from Applications.
Inside the Trash, you will find a password-protected folder named 'TO_DELETE'. Enter the password 'ALICE' that Hal gave you to open it. Then, open the file named 'ALICE' inside the folder. This will reveal Hal's true identity and his backstory.
When HAL tells you his true identity, you will unlock the achievement called 'Uncovered HAL's Identity.'
After reading this, talk to Hal, whose real name is Alice Truman. She will tell you that the person monitoring you is an FDI Superior, and you will make another plan involving Agent Andrews.
How To Assist Agent Andrews In Navigating The Building
After that, Agent Barry Walker will call you. He will tell you that he is currently in the interrogation room with the mysterious person he caught yesterday, who doesn't appear in any databases. The Ghost, or this mysterious person, says he will talk but only wants to speak with you. You will then start talking to him.
He will make a deal with you, stating that for every question you answer, he will answer one of your questions. Honestly, it doesn't matter much how you answer the questions at this stage. The Ghost eventually asks for Hal's true identity but you should not give it to him.
When your question-and-answer game with the Ghost ends, Hal will inform you that Agent Andrews is inside the building. She will then add that your objective is to guide Agent Andrews to the Server Room on the 11th floor. However, Andrews will first need to get a key from the Technician’s Locker Room.
After your conversation with Hal, a shortcut to the security camera on Level 11 will appear on your desktop, and a notification titled 'Undefined Entry' will pop up. Select EN from the Video Player window on Level 11. Agent Andrews will then call you and tell you that the code Hal gave her isn't working. Inform Hal about this.
If you press the buttons under the security camera footage four times quickly, you will unlock the 'Clicked 1, 2, 3, 4 times' achievement.
Hal will tell you to direct Andrews to the eighth floor and then guide her to the 11th floor using the emergency stairway. Relay this information to Agent Andrews. Hal will send you a blueprint file of the eighth floor, and you will need to guide Agent Andrews to the emergency stairway. Tell her the following instructions:
- Take the door to your left.
- Take the hallway to your right.
- Take the hallway on the left.
- Left.
If you direct Andrews with 'take the door to her left, take the hallway to her left, enter the second door,' she will enter Skinner's office, unlocking the 'SKINNER's Office' achievement.
With these directions, Andrews will be able to reach the 11th floor, and you can continue monitoring him through the cameras. From the video player on Level 11, press the button labeled ST. Agent Andrews will come to the door of the stairway and ask you what to do. Inform Hal of the situation and tell her that Andrews is waiting at the stairway door.
Then, tell Agent Andrews to use his badge. Switch to the HW camera and inform her when the hallway is clear. She will proceed to the locker room door, but it will require a code. Relay this to Hal. Hal will tell you that she can't find the code but will give you a command to help you find it.
Open the terminal from the applications section in the top left. Enter the command ‘ssh FDI.L11.LCK --logs’ in the terminal. Once you are connected, inform Agent Andrews, and the code trial process will begin.
How To Solve The Locker Room Code
Honestly, all you need to do here is guess. Send a five-digit code, and the terminal will give you feedback on how accurate your code is. If you've played or heard of the code-breaking board game Mastermind, this is almost the same. The terminal feedback for your code will be as follows:
Feedback
Description
Green equals (=) sign.
The number is correct and in the right position.
Orange asterisk (*) sign.
The number is correct but in the wrong position.
Red dash (-) sign.
The number is entirely wrong.
You can use trial and error to find the code, it's not impossible. But if you don't want to go through the hassle, the correct code is 73512. When you look at the camera labeled LK, you will see Agent Andrews searching for the key. Then click on the SV camera and tell Andrews that there is someone there.
When you inform Hal about the situation, she will ask you to identify the person sitting there. Select the person and allow the system to analyze them. You will find out that the person is a secretary named Rebecca Davis. Click on the 'Find Person’s Identity' task above and link it to the secretary’s name. Hal will connect you to her.
After some persuasion, Rebecca will leave her desk. Inform Agent Andrews of the situation. When you look at the LK camera, you will see that she has found the key. Then switch back to the SV camera and you will see her entering. Inform Hal about the situation, and when Hal tells you he is about to find the mole, your computer will display a frightening red warning screen.
Things are starting to get scary. This threat level alert indicates an intruder detected and telling you to stay at your desk. Click the 'I understand' button. Talk to Andrews and then to Hal. Tell Andrews that she has not been detected and should continue. Ask Hal who the mole is; she won’t answer at first. Keep writing to him, and she will ask if you are sure you want to know.
She will then tell you the name of the mole. She will also find a password from an email on mole's computer. Enter this password into the Sacha COLE folder on the HDD recovered from the Facility. The password is 'B21P1SC'.
While other files are being recovered, open and listen to the audio file dated 03/04/1992. Are you really ready to hear this? Do you remember the scene at the beginning of the game in the interrogation room where answers were given with beeps? Yes, the person responding to Henry Jenkins with those beeps was you, Sacha Cole!
Things will get even more complicated when Hal informs you that the Ghost has escaped, killed Trench, and is after you. Watch the cutscene and then return to Hal's point of view. Continue the conversation in Hal's chat box with Xavier Skinner. After the conversation with Skinner ends, click on the code in Hal's terminal window that starts with 'frame'.
In the Horizon News chat box, say that you have good and bad news. Then talk to Xavier again. Select the command in the terminal that starts with 'video connect'. You will see that Xavier has learned Hal's real name. Finally, inform Horizon News that you have been exposed.
Lastly, select the final command from the terminal menu above. This will end the game, and after the cutscene, you can watch what happened to all the characters in the game. There is also an extra cutscene after the credits.
When you complete the game, you will unlock the 'Completed the Game' achievement.
By watching the credits, you will unlock the 'Watched Credits' achievement.
