The Facility

The Facility is a main story quest in ACT I. It is given and completed during the Edwards Plan quest. PC is sent by Edward to June 7th, 1989, to infiltrate Manhofer West to retrieve the blueprints for the dimensional box; and also, to get any tangible information on the plans of the evil and secretive agents that stole them.

General
Arriving at the facility, the agents are already in the process of taking the documents. PC can enter through the back vents, for stealth, or through the front door, guns blazing. Earlier, Edward had given PC a keycard he used to have; giving PC the ability to open doors within the building.

Once the agents are defeated, and the documents are taken within a vault, a young Edward will come out of a room, where he is working on a Super Microwave, to find you taking his work, questioning you and what happened after 1984. PC informs him that he came from the future and that he needs the documents. Edward lets him take them, and escorts him to the car. Before leaving, Edward mentions how much he is craving a pizza, PC has the option to tell him to eat it cold, or warm it up in the microwave. Telling him to eat it cold ends the quest after returning to 2014.

Telling him to eat it hot, warm it up with the microwave, changes the timeline in the future where Edward has severe brain damage. Warming it up with the unstable microwave caused it to explode, giving him the brain damage. In this timeline, the lab is now a pizzeria, and he has a hostile feud with the other pizzeria, leading to a battle in the streets. PC goes back in time to prevent this by destroying the microwave
