Contingency Plans

Contingency Plans refer to special collectible Documents found in Rise of the Tomb Raider.

There are four total Contingency Plans documents in the game.

The Operative
Konstantin.

I've accompanied the men from Echo Team to the research site. As per your instructions, not even the Sergeant in command is aware of our secondary objective. He believes that I am just a translator, and we are here to aid in the recovery of the Divine Source.

But I've already confirmed what you and I suspected: This was indeed the research base mentioned in the redacted documents. They were close to a breakthrough in unlocking rapid human improvement, but not close enough. The test subjects overwhelmed and killed the staff. We will be cautious, but I will see what research I can recover.

Lara's Thoughts
Konstantin had another motive for exploring this facility...

Red Legacy
Konstantin.

I have all faith that you will be able to recover the Divine Source, but destiny has provided us with another path. I have recovered documentation, photographs, and film reels of the original experiments.

The chemical agent acts on the endocrine system, accelerating the retention of DHT. The subjects show enormous increases in speed and strength, but also considerable drops in cognition and self-control.

If they had been able to continue their research, they might have been able to solve the problem, but they were victims of their own partial success.

We're standing on the shoulders of giants, my old friend. We only need to reach.

Lara's Thoughts
They came searching for the formula...

Old Mistakes
Konstantin.

As we previously discussed, I have re-activated the primary systems to begin synthesizing the last known formula for the chemical agent. We've brought a few native prisoners, but the agent has little to no immediate effect on the female captives.

This is expected, based on the primary biological mechanism the agent affects, but it means we have precious few subjects. You gave me your authorization prior to the mission, but I would prefer to avoid using our own troops.

We will return with a sample of the agent within a few days.

Lara's Thoughts
What the hell was Trinity thinking?

The Loose Thread
Konstantin.

I leave this last message here for you to find, because I know you will come looking for me. We suffered a regrettable breach of containment. Not unexpected. The facility has not been maintained in many decades, but it came without warning.

Echo Team is a total loss. Spend no resources on recovery here. Destroy the entire facility, along with any survivors. They are of no more use.

But do not fear. I have the formula, the complete technical documents, and a sample of the chemical agent. I will seal the outer gates and head due east.

Come and find me, and we will bring the formula back to Trinity. One way or another, we will become unstoppable.

See you on the other side, my friend.

Lara's Thoughts
''Oh no... Trinity might have recovered the formula...''
