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'.

Cosmid May 2026
, the cosmid is a classic example of synthetic biological engineering—combining the replicative simplicity of a plasmid with the packaging precision of a virus—to solve a size-capacity problem that was central to 1980s and 1990s genomics.
A cosmid is essentially a small, high-copy-number plasmid that has been engineered to contain one critical element from the lambda phage—the . This 200-base-pair sequence is the only phage component retained; cosmids lack all other lambda genes required for viral packaging, replication, or lysis. cosmid
In the field of molecular cloning, the cosmid represents a powerful hybrid vector that bridges the gap between standard plasmids and bacteriophage lambda (λ) systems. Developed in the late 1970s, cosmids were designed to address a key limitation of traditional plasmid vectors: their inability to efficiently clone DNA fragments larger than 10–15 kilobases (kb). , the cosmid is a classic example of
Cosmids were the vector of choice for constructing genomic libraries of complex organisms before the advent of YACs (Yeast Artificial Chromosomes) and BACs (Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes). They played a crucial role in early mapping of the human genome, sequencing of C. elegans , and isolation of disease-related genes such as the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator ( CFTR ). In the field of molecular cloning, the cosmid
Today, although superseded by BACs for many applications due to the latter’s even larger capacity (100–350 kb) and lower recombination rates, cosmids remain useful for targeted cloning, subcloning of large gene clusters, and functional studies in microbial genetics.
