Tracer Tong's laboratory is located in Hong Kong, just beneath the Luminous Path compound. JC Denton visits it several times during the events of Deus Ex.

Overview[]

The lab serves as Tong's research place. It is hidden behind a code-locked door in the kitchen of the Path compound, and another button-locked one which is placed as a part of the wall. The room in between is guarded by one of the Path members and has various cardboard and metal boxes, as well as a table, bird cage and a crowbar.

Inside the lab are multiple PC consoles, one of which JC uses - he's given the username and password. Another of the Path members sits here, although he's no longer a guard - instead, just a scientist. There's also a shooting range, which has a few ammunition boxes and three targets - a simple crosshair, a figure, and a person holding a hostage.

Notes[]

  • Use of the shooting range with a non-silenced weapon can trigger hostilities.

Trivia[]

  • Tracer's Tong's laboratory was originally designed to be part of a boat, specifically a junk. This concept is corroborated by concept art and pre-release footage. Game developer Steve Powers described the original design of the laboratory as follows:[1]

Tracer Tong originally hid his lab in the guts of an abandoned cargo freighter in Kowloon bay, and if you look at his underground lab now it still largely conforms to the curved hull of the ship it was once in. To reach him the player had to move along a floating sampan island crewed by guards trying to hold you at bay.
