This daily mission is given by the Agency Handler from the office in Rome Blue as well as the office in Old Athen.

The Agency suspects that they have a double agent among their personnel.

"Your assignment is to go to the Lush Hills Resort to locate Ed Burton. He is the head of security and a great resource for information. Lately we have reason to believe he is a double agent. Investigate and report any compelling evidence back to us.

Remember that he might attack you on sight".

Time to go to Lush Hills Resort and investigate. You may used the Lush Hills exit in the grid to easily get there. However, if you are clan, be aware their may be Omni guards in the immediate area where you enter Lush Fields.

Lush Hills Resort

You will find the suspect, Ed Burton on top of a huge tower, located South of the grid, at the edge of Lush Field Resort.

The tower with the suspect

He will shoot at you if you attempt to come near him in a Yalm. If your Yalm is nano-based, such as a Phasefront vehicle, your Yalm will disintegrate if he manages to cause you any damage, and you will crash to the ground.
(There is a fine swimming pool near the tower, so you can do your double flip with three twists on your way down and collect bonus points. :D *kidding* about yjr bonus anyway!)

You should take the time to buff up completely (if you haven't already), before stepping on this elevator that brings you to the top.

Elevator

A few seconds after reaching the top and stepping onto the platform, he will attack you. No questions asked, no cares given!

He attacks!!

He really is a double agent! You're going to have to defeat him!

Note:

You are unable to jump from the platform to get out of a losing fight. However, you can r-click the panel on the platform behind Ed, and it will transport you below to the pool area, where Ed can no longer hit you. Even if you are in a fight with him at the time. Regroup, heal up, and try again!
However, if your character has high concealment, it is possible to sneak up to the platform and simply wait around. you can hope another player(s) will come to confront him, and in the process there is a very high chance that Ed Burton's "confession" will update for you without having to do anything. You can also team someone else who can easily kill him and get the credit for it. You should be on the upper platform to ensure it registers.

Either way, you may just see why it is that Ed Burton is willing to sacrifice his career with Omni-Tek and get some hard evidence on him!

After Burton dies, your mission changes to "Potential Evidence" and tells you to go back to the agency receptionist to give your report. There is nothing to loot, and nothing will spawn in your inventory. You just have to head back to your Mission Agency building.

"You located Ed Burton. The head of security attacked you so you were forced to kill him.

Return to the agency receptionist immediately".

Either way you choose to do this mission, you may just see why it is that Ed Burton is willing to sacrifice his career with Omni-Tek and get some hard evidence on him! If so, your mission will update.

Once it does, you can then use the control panel to exit the platform (or beacon out), and return to the mission agency to report what you've found.

Note: Crats who use charmed mobs (mostly slayer droids who roam the vicinity in this area) please take your pets off the platform, and release their pets somewhere. Fighting against one bad guy in a tight spot is bad enough.
