This mission starts automatically after you managed to get the definitive evidence against Mary Kelley in mission "Market Closing". You decide that the people she is imprisoning must be rescued.
DedSec disabled Mary Kelley's Golden Goose e-market, destroying her human trafficking ring and providing Kaitlin Lau with enough evidence to take to her contact in the Attorney General's office. But they realized that Mary still has control over the people at Sandstone Residence and is liable to kill them using the microchip.
Get to Sandstone Residence and stop Mary Kelley from silencing her 'slaves'.

When proprietary data becomes a target for threat actors, the implications ripple far beyond the gaming community, altering the landscape of cybersecurity, cheat development, and digital rights management. The Architecture of Valorant's Codebase
One of the most notable proprietary systems embedded within Valorant's internal source code is the mechanics. Traditional shooters send location data for all players across the map to every client computer. Valorant's server code calculates visibility dynamically. If an enemy player is behind a solid wall and completely out of line-of-sight, the server explicitly withholds that player's spatial coordinates from the client's memory. This prevents basic wallhacks from reading position data before a player enters view. 2. Riot Vanguard: The Kernel-Level Security Subsystem
While a source code leak is a massive security headache, Riot reassured players that Valorant’s core security doesn't rely on "obscurity" (keeping the code secret) but on "robustness" (making the code hard to exploit even if you can see it). However, such leaks do allow cheat developers to find "hooks" or vulnerabilities in the game's logic more easily. 5. Why the Source Code is "Close-Guarded"
In early 2023, Riot Games suffered a cyberattack where malicious actors exfiltrated source code for League of Legends and a legacy anti-cheat platform. While Valorant's core code was not fully compromised, the incident highlighted the industry-wide risk of source code exposure. Valorant Internal Source Code
If you tell me which of these (or another legitimate angle) you’d like, I’ll gladly draft a for you — complete with sections, technical depth, citations, and ethical disclaimers.
The game code limits data transmission based on visibility. Traditional engines send coordinates of all players on a map to every connected client. Valorant's server uses a dynamic occlusion system. It strips enemy player coordinates from the data stream if those players are outside the user's line of sight or hearing radius. This design thwarts standard Wallhacks or Extra Sensory Perception (ESP) systems, as the local memory simply lacks the structural data required to render obscured players. 2. Riot Vanguard: The Kernel-Level Defense
Valorant’s unique character abilities (the "kit" system) and their interactions involve complex physics and logic that represent years of R&D. When proprietary data becomes a target for threat
While many players know Valorant runs on , the "internal source" is far from a stock installation. Riot Games heavily modified the engine to achieve two primary goals:
To understand why the Valorant internal source code is a high-value target, one must understand Riot's Vanguard anti-cheat. Most traditional anti-cheat solutions operate at the user level (Ring 3). Vanguard operates at the kernel level (Ring 0).
The leak of Valorant's internal source code serves as a reminder of the importance of source code security in game development. As the gaming industry continues to evolve, developers must prioritize code security to protect their creations and ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for players.

How the code was actually stolen from the Riot servers.
Once code exposure is confirmed, developers identify the most vulnerable core modules. Security teams must rewrite specific functions, change memory offsets, and implement new cryptographic signatures for client-server communication. This renders the leaked logic obsolete for future versions of the live game. Enhanced Obfuscation
