Finest Blend

Finest Blend is a side mission given by Slade at level 19. In this mission, Slade requests the player to collect some 'Skunk Amazer' whisky in the Colony's storage.

Overview
The player starts in front of a door leading to the Engineering Department. Once the player gets in, they must fight some Torment. After that, the player needs to open the first storage room, which is actually a stash of briefs.

After that, the player searches for the second storage room. This storage room stored toilet paper. This time, Slade says that the liquor is close. Upon searching another building, the player finds another storage room containing Bibles. Beside the crates, there is an explosive barrel and a fence covering an air vent. When exploded, it destroys the fence, giving way to the next storage room.

This particular room, marked as 'Rare Export', contains the Skunk Amazer whisky. The player must pick up all the whisky bottles and get out of the room. However, just as the player picks up the last bottle, Slade warns the player of a horde of Torment coming their way. The door can be seen being cut down by a laser. Here, the player is given two choices; fight their way through the Torment, or sneak their way out. Upon reaching the plaza, the Starhawk arrives, and the player is extracted.

Secret Chests
The secret chest in this mission is very easy to get, as it is minimally hidden. In the last storage room, there is a stack of crates near the wall. The secret chest is just behind there.

Comm-Link Transmissions
(starting the mission)
 * Slade: "They probably stashed their rations during the assault, so try searching the nearby storage units. Just be quick and quiet about it, because this isn't strictly legal..."

(after opening the first storage room)
 * Slade: "No thanks, I've already got a couple of pairs. Should see me through till I die..."

(after opening the second storage room)
 * Slade: "Hmm, very old school. I use the three seashells personally. Keep looking, that booze is so close I can almost taste it!"

(after opening the third storage room)
 * Slade: "No good...maybe bring back a copy for Pedro, he only has seven others."

(upon finding the whisky)
 * Slade: "Sweet, this is it! Grab as many bottles as you can and get out of there. S.A.R.A might like a drop of this too."

(when the Torment arrive)
 * Slade: "I hate to break it to you, but I think we've got company..."

Trivia

 * The three seashells that Slade uses is a reference to the 1993 film Demolition Man.
