• Chapter 5: New Eden
"New Eden" is the fifth Chapter in Mirror's Edge.
After the level Ropeburn, Faith and Celeste escape back to Mercury's Hideout to rest and recooperate. Sitting on the edge of the roof, sharing a cup of coffee while the sun comes up, the two Runners talk about the murderer who killed Robert Pope and framed her sister. The talk leads to the November Riots and the death of Faith's mother that day. Faith tells Celeste that she plans to crash the meeting at the New Eden Mall that day. Celeste tries to warn her off, saying it's "the fastest way to get herself killed." Realizing Faith is still committed to saving her sister, Cel leaves to go on a job Drake had assigned to her and tells Faith to take care.
Faith makes her way to the New Eden Mall to intercept the meeting with the the "Professional" that Ropeburn had hired. Faith finds herself on street level where Mayor Callaghan is having a campaign drive nearby. With the added police prescence a few blocks away, Mercury tells Faith to get ontop of the subway overpass to try and avoid the City Protection Force stationed there. Unable to avoid detection whilst on the catwalks, the Blues are alerted to Faith's whereabouts and call for backup. Faith runs along the subway tracks, weaving in and out of passing cars as a CPF helicopter makes its way onto the scene and opens fire. Faith manages to get off the tracks by sliding down a tether line and ducks into some nearby buildings for cover. Reaching the roofs finally, she leaps from building to building towards her objective. Unfazed by the City Protection Force's attempts to stop her by fast-roping more police officers onto the roofs to stop her, Faith determinately works her way to the New Eden Mall.
Faith finally reaches the entrance to the New Eden Mall. Still under construction and a grand opening underway, the mall is albeit abandoned for the time being. Using the ventilation shafts to gain entrance to the loading area, Faith is finally inside the mall and begins her search for the "Professional" Ropeburn spoke of. Faith catches a glimpse of a Masked Person running through the mall and the chase begins. Surprisingly, she finds herself in a trap as several CPF officers and riot police reveal themselves and fire upon her. Unable to combat the larger force, Faith flees and attempts to find a way to the ceiling maintenance areas to escape her new pursuers. The skilled Runner manages to elude the police in the ventilation shafts and uses the constuction status of the mall to stall the CPF in locating her exact whereabouts.
Exiting the shafts and emerging to a larger section of the main mall, Faith finds more CPF patrols waiting for her. Mercury is surprised by the amount of firepower the CPF are committing to stop her (noting the FN Minimi wielding SWAT member), but Faith escapes the area via the ceiling catwalks. Following the path up the stairs and onto the roof of the mall, the "Masked Runner" is waiting. Taking a quick glance at Faith, the Masked Runner once again flees off into the distance. Disgruntled but still determined, Faith tells Merc that she thinks she knows who can tell her who the assassin is.
