It can be approached using cloaking and stealth, sneaking by defenses and sniping key targets, or by using the turbojet jumpsuit and avoiding or confronting large ground of enemies while utilizing hidden passages. This mission has several different ways to approach it, depending on Nova's loadout. Nova entered Davis's room, and apprehended her. Nova stated she did not want to kill him, and after a brief firefight incapacitated him.

Stone felt that Nova had betrayed them, and the two fought. However, she found Stone in her way, with his memories modified to ensure loyalty to the Defenders of Man. Nova unlocked both doors, and moved to confront Davis. Reigel also noted experimental weapons in the facility, one a suit augmented with stalker technology, and the other an advanced weapons cache. On the way, Nova found Pierce and Delta Emblock in stasis, with their memories having been falsely implanted to ensure servitude. Reigel noted that Davis's room was sealed by two security rooms, and that unlocking those would allow her access to Davis. Nova evaded the patrons, and moved into the compound proper. Reigel noted an energy signature coming from a visor nearby, which would allow Nova to dominate nearby Defenders of Man personnel. Nova infiltrated the compound through the sewers, moving past the light defender patrols in the area. She would then bring her out alive and Valerian would announce her crimes and subsequent arrest.

The Defenders of Man would be watching Valerian's escort, and in the meantime Nova would infiltrate Davis's compound while the Emperor gave his speech. Meanwhile, aboard the Bucephalus, Agent Nova Terra, weapons expert Reigel, Admiral Matt Horner and Emperor Valerian Mengsk went over their plan. She then got a message stating that the Emperor was arriving soon to announce his resignation, and Davis informed that should he try anything to kill him. She looked upon a picture of her and Arcturus during the Sons of Korhal era, and was informed that the psi-emitters her group planted on various Terran Dominion worlds were augmented with Moebius Foundation technology, and would trace back to Valerian. On the planet of Vardona, General Carolina Davis, former Terran Dominion general, Arcturus Mengsk loyalist and leader of the Defenders of Man, looked over an intercepted transmission connecting Emperor Valerian Mengsk to the death of his father.
