![]() You can also find two vials of Turpentine and some Scrap Metal nearby. Within, grab the Conductor, the Sensor Module, and the Wonderglue. Before chasing after her, approach the shelf in the room to the side of the corridor to find a toolbox. You'll run into your friend in the next corridor, and she'll run away shortly thereafter. If you're good, you won't do this, but if you're playing with an evil twist, what are a few lives? Keep in mind, however, that you can turn your gun on one of them, but be prepared to fight both of them if you do. Both will turn a blind eye to your presence because of who your father was, which should allow you to proceed unmolested. However, you'll run into Officer Gomez (remember him from your birthday party nine years earlier?) and the engineer named Stanley. ![]() The classroom, your fathers office, the medical office and the adjoining corridors continue to lead to your ultimate destination. You can sell it later.Īs you proceed through the linear vault, following signs for the Atrium, you'll eventually come to some familiar areas. After killing the Radroaches easily with the Baseball Bat and grabbing their dropped meat, you can grab everything from Glass Pitchers to Drinking Glasses to Cups. You never know what you're going to need once you're outside, that's for sure! The same can be said for the kitchen you arrive at. Grab everything, including the Radroach Meat from the slain enemies. Then, do a thorough exploration of the room to find all sorts of useless items, like Vodka and a Pencil. We then turned our ire on the Radroaches themselves (use a Baseball Bat for easy kills on these foes). If you arrive in time, you can save the woman from her attackers, but we let her die. But you can choose to do whatever you want!Īpproach the two rooms where Butch and his mom were staying. Hey - we haven't forgotten the abuse from our childhood. As he ran back towards her, we then put a bullet in the back of his head, killing him instantly. What did we choose to do? Well after giving Butch a hard time, we agreed to help his mom. You can choose to do something about it or do nothing about it that's the inherent beauty of a game like Fallout 3. Butch is freaking out because his mother is under attack by Radroaches. There's nothing of any interest in the corridors or the bathrooms, that is until you run into your old "friend" Butch. Make sure to aim for the head for a quick kill.Īs you proceed, you'll encounter some bathrooms and more empty corridors. Why? Well, the latter will be used to slay the lone security officer outside of your room that's being attacked by bugs. Before heading out of your bedroom, be sure to equip the baseball hat and the utility jumpsuit for some minor statistical boosts, as well as the pistol. Also check your dresser, which will contain Grognak the Barbarian, a Pre-War Baseball Cap, two Vault 101 Jumpsuits and a Vault 101 Utility Jumpsuit. On your desk, you'll find your BB Gun and fifty BB Rounds, as well as a Baseball, Baseball Glove, and most importantly out of the three related items, a Baseball Bat. ![]() You'll hear scurrying outside of your bedroom, but you should take the time to first explore your bedroom. ![]() Then, giving you further instructions, she thereafter heads off. Scared for your safety, your friend hands over ten Bobby Pins with which to pick locks, a 10mm Pistol to protect yourself with, and thirty-six 10mm Rounds with which to load the firearm with. They've killed Jonas, and your father James has left the Vault completely, something nobody does, and something that no one seems realistically capable to even do in the first place. The Overseer and his goons are on a rampage. She'll tell you that things have gone wrong. An alarm is buzzing frantically, and your friend seems nervous. As soon as this mission begins, your friend Amata will stir you awake suddenly.

Premium channels can be layered on top, streamed via the internet but still integrating into the main guide. As with this previous box, this updated is a smart TV platform that combines Freeview TV with streamed channels. Instead, BT has taken YouView as its base and updated it. While the old box was fully YouView branded, you won’t find this name anywhere on the new box. This works out at around 600 hours of SD recording, reducing to 250 hours for HD TV and 60 hours for 4K.Īlthough there’s only a single aerial input, the BT TV Box Pro has four tuners, allowing you to record up to three shows at once, while watching a single live stream. The updated BT TV box comes with a 1TB hard disk, double that of the previous box. There’s also an optical S/PDIF audio output and Gigabit Ethernet. It has fewer buttons overall, so those remaining are larger and easier to hit.Ī single HDMI 2.0 output can be found on the rear: it supports HDR (not Dolby Vision) and Dolby Atmos via Dolby Digital Plus. Technically, this means you can put the TV Box Pro in a cupboard, although the company warns that this will impact Wi-Fi, so you should place it out in the open.Ĭompared to the fiddly YouTube remote of the old box, the new remote is both simpler and easier to use. Next, the remote control with the new model has been upgraded to Bluetooth, so you no longer need line-of-sight to make it work. In addition, the company is very clear about using your BT router, largely because of the streaming protocol that BT TV uses (more on this later). BT recommends that you keep the box within 5m of your router, and only have one wall or ceiling between it. First, there’s now Wi-Fi, so you don’t have to wire the box into your home network. Several issues with the original have been resolved. A sleeker, curved box (32 x 335 x 127mm), it looks far more modern, with more in common with Sky Q than the BT box of old. Today, that box is out, replaced with the BT TV Box Pro. One of the problems with the existing BT TV service was its reliance on the rather ugly and ageing BT YouView+ Ultra HD box. The use of an old and rarely supported streaming format ties you to the BT router, and the lack of much original content makes the BT TV Box Pro a combination of brilliant and frustrating. ![]() ![]() On top of this you can add premium channels through NOW via live streaming, although you can, uniquely, record these streams. ![]() Now, the company is back with the BT TV Box Pro – a sleeker, faster set-top box that offers support for Dolby Atmos and 4K HDR in more areas.Īt the heart of the service remains the YouView platform, which is starting to show its age, despite being updated and tweaked by TV. Although the service has evolved over the years, the same couldn’t be said for the hardware. You may not remember, but it was BT that was first to launch a 4K channel in the UK, via its BT TV platform and original 4K set-top box. NOW also available via streaming and you can record the channels, too Entertainment You get all of the Freeview channels, delivered by four tuners, plus BT, NOW, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, BBC iPlayer, ITV Hub, All 4, My5, Milkshake, BritBox via apps.Resolution This is a 4K set-top box, supporting HDR. And while the Director of Central Intelligence should report directly to the DNI, the powerful and independent-minded leadership and bureaucracy of the CIA reportedly resented the intrusion of another layer of administration into their affairs and have fought against DNI attempts to assert his legal authority. The IRTPA sets out the position of DNI as one that would coordinate and encourage cooperation, rather than a “command” position like the Secretary of Defense. This is an authorities issue, bureaucratic problem, and personality challenge combined. The DNI also cannot dictate to the heads of the CIA or Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) in the way that the Secretary of Defense, for instance, can issue orders to combatant commanders. Unlike the Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense, the DNI does not oversee his entire domain, nor do the various agencies, other than the CIA, report directly to him. These two criticisms are not mutually exclusive.Ī number of observers and experts have noted that the Director of National Intelligence lacks any real control over the IC. Criticisms of this structure have come from two completely different directions, with some experts arguing that the DNI has too little power, while others argue that there is already too much centralization and bureaucracy in the IC. There are also a few mission-organized units, such as the NCTC, that bring together intelligence professionals from all the agencies with their own organically grown workforce to address specific areas of concern. There are two main structural challenges confronting the IC, each of which seems to contradict the other.Ī Powerless DNI and Bureaucratic Bloat: Too Much Centralization or Too Little? The current organizational structure of the IC is dominated by 17 diverse agencies, with the DNI as the nominal head. Defining the Problem Setīefore presenting potential solutions to the serious challenges that exist within the intelligence community, it is important to carefully describe the specific structural, analytical, and cultural issues that must be reformed if the community is to be made ready to deal with the new security environment. The IC must, therefore, become the kind of federated enterprise-organizationally, analytically, and culturally-that can constantly learn from, and adapt to, this highly volatile environment in order to better support decision makers. There are also well-grounded fears that this situation will be the “new normal” for at least the next decade. must depend for support in dealing with these threats and challenges. The need for reform is made more urgent by the increasingly complex national security environment that the United States is facing, one that is dominated by violent non-state Islamic extremists anti-status-quo states China, Russia, and Iran and a weakened or alienated set of allies and partners around the globe on which the U.S. In this Backgrounder, the focus will remain on analysis and improvements to the analytic aspects of the IC. It is noteworthy that the community’s intelligence collection-clandestine and open source-appears not to have focused on the deeper questions of regime stability and the underlying causes for the Arab Spring. The intelligence failures surrounding the Arab Spring were especially important, since the IC had not understood the implications of an entire series of seismic shifts in the strategic landscape, suggesting that there are serious problems with the analytical side of the community. In quick succession, the IC failed to predict the so-called Arab Spring, the resurgence of al-Qaeda, the adventurism of Putin, the aggressiveness of China, and a number of terrorist attacks on the U.S., from the Detroit “underwear bomber” to the San Bernardino massacre. The critics pointed to the anomalous position of the DNI, a neglect of strategic analysis, accusations of the politicization of intelligence, and the difficulties that the IC has with failure, learning, and adaptation, as signs that all was not well within the IC.Ī series of stumbles over the past seven years have given credence to the red flags raised by these experts. ![]() Before the ink was dry on the 2004 Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act (IRTPA), there were warnings from insiders as well as outside experts that the law had not fully dealt with the challenges facing the IC. ![]() intelligence community (IC) carried out after 9/11, including the creation of the Director for National Intelligence (DNI) and the National Combatting Terrorism Center (NCTC), there is widespread agreement that more remains to be done. |
