“	Who the hell does she think she is? when[sic] she should be getting work done. The Director?	”
— Emily Pope

Take Control is the tenth and final story mission of Control. It starts after the events of the "Polaris" mission.

Overview

Like after waking up from a dream, Jesse needs some time to accept what seems to be her reality: she, being the "new girl" in the Bureau, having to do all the ordinary work, like tidying up, making copies and delivering mail, while everybody is mocking at her. Only slowly she starts to realize that in fact she has woken up in a dream – a bad one, with the Hiss trying to corrupt her like it did with Trench. Making her way out of his office, she begins to re-take control …

Return from the Oceanview Motel

In the nightmare, as the Hiss burrows into her mind, Jesse discovers that Trench, the first to be corrupted by the Hiss, was the one who let it in. Even with Hedron dead, Jesse finds the power of Polaris within herself. She banishes the Hiss from her mind and goes to the Nostalgia Department to shut off the Slide Projector.

Slide Projector cleansed

She enters the Astral Plane to bind the Projector and discovers that the Hiss, led by Dylan, has invaded this dimension as well.

Mission end

She fights her way to Dylan, and uses her power to cleanse him of the Hiss. Dylan enters a coma, his fate uncertain. Jesse then shuts off the Projector. Access to the source of the Hiss is severed, but the Hiss resonance already in the Oldest House remains a threat. The lockdown must remain active, until every trace of the Hiss has been destroyed. Jesse is the Director of the Federal Bureau of Control. This is her responsibility.
