Perfect Dark

Story

Perfect Dark is set in early 2022 and follows agent Joanna Dark during the final phase of her training at the Carrington Institute, a research center founded by Daniel Carrington. After completing her training, Joanna is sent on a mission to destroy a cyborg factory in the South American jungle. The facility is run by Mink Hunter and produces high-tech weapons for terrorist operations. Joanna successfully completes her mission, kills Hunter and destroys the entire facility. She then reports that when she landed in the jungle, she saw a plane being shot down and wrote down the coordinates. Carrington learns that there is a UFO in the area and that dataDyne, the Carrington Institute's rival company, is running off with the alien wreckage. Joanna is sent to investigate the crash site, but is eventually captured and taken to the research vessel Pelagic I along with the alien wreckage. An alien eventually rescues Joanna and tells her to gather as much information as she can about the alien wreckage and then sink the Pelagic I. Having succeeded, Joanna tells Carrington that the wreck belongs to an alien race called the Skedar. The situation changes abruptly when the Carrington Institute is stormed by a dataDyne task force intent on destroying all evidence against them. Joanna defends the Carrington Institute and her work earns her enough recognition to take part in their next mission. The game ends with the Carrington Institute conducting further investigations on dataDyne.
