Sacrificial Lamb

Briefing
Chla'bo:
 * There is one person who can help us. I have sensed his presence.  His logos abilities are strong, perhaps stronger than yours, but they are untapped.  He doesn't know what he can do.


 * His name is Lt. Whitman, an dif you can find him and bring him here, we could use his latent energy to power the shield generator.


 * It would mean sacrificing his life though. Make sure he is aware of this.

[[Image:|32px]] Walkthrough
Whitman is back across the bridge inside the temple. You must lead him back to Chla'bo. You will be assaulted by 3 bane drop ships in the plaza, but the AFS NPCs will help with those. You will be hit with 3 drop ships at once crossing the bridge including 4 caretakers and 5 howlers making it very difficult to survive. Once you reach the shield gate, Whitman stops outside like a fool and you must defend him from several single dropships of 5-6 bane each. There is then a timeout period and you can talk to Chla'bo. Whitman never moves and is never actually sacrificed, he keeps standing there with the escort marker above him. This would seem broken, especially since some other Forean shaman comes wandering in at that point with no mention.

Because of these events, the other option is actually easier as the bane assault the gate and you can use the door as a choke point to coral them.

NOTE - this is part of an ethical choice. You must choose between this mission and Protect the Benefactor.
