The Octagon

The Octagon is a Residential lot in SimValley in The Sims Bustin' Out for console. It is a military base run by General Payne and Maxine Powers. It is likely a play on The Pentagon.

There are four missions here: eliminate Senator Landgraab, shut down the hackers, destroy bio-weapons, and track down anti-war protesters. Since Malcolm is a Senator in the Octagon's operation you have to eliminate him before he shuts it down. You can do this by unlocking and purchasing the Miss Gyrotic robot system and program for self-defense (this is also a skill so your sim must be in a good mood). Doing this will result in Miss. Gyrotic coming out of her "housing" and using a ball  of lightning attack on Malcolm. He will yell for you to get it off of him. As a result, he'll wet himself and leave as he needs comfort and a well-needed shower. OR (if you are married) you can invite Malcolm over, build a room around him with no doors, windows or lights, have a baby (this is worth the risk of the others' jobs), and put the baby in the room. Wait for it to cry and ignore it until Malcolm gives up. When he does: release him and IMMEDIATELY take care of the baby (as this is a goal). In order to shut down the hackers you must visit Shiny Things Lab and steal whichever computer you want. A message will appear and giving proof that the computer was used illegally. Destroying bio-weapons results you to going to Goth Manor, paying a little visit to their greenhouse and destroying their incubator (but you can always repair it if you choose to). Once you return to The Octagon either General or Maxine will inform you that that mission was just a hoax. This could be referring to an error in either communication or follow-ups. The last mission is tracking down anti-war protesters. You can only complete this goal by being in the PARA-MILITARY career track. You have to visit Club Rubb and attack either Bing or Mona. The items received in completing missions are: 5,000 simoleons, fake parrot, abdominator, and the spartan lamp.
