I have finally beaten Deux Ex for the first time (the easy way by merging with helios), but I noticed something strange.
In area 51, section 4, when I went down the ladder beneath the room with the medbot, where you meet 2 greys coming up the stairs below, I distinctly heard a Man in Black and a Mj12 trooper talking, readying their weapons as if ready to jump out of the shadows.
But, nowhere could I find their hiding place. Are they somewhere on the other side of the wall in a previous section that I just missed, or is there a hidden room that I haven't found yet? :confused:

Since you've finished, I'll spill the beans. After you first talked with Helios, you were attacked by three MJ12 commandos, and the little bots protected you. At the end of this sequence, you should have seen the MIB and the MJ12 trooper coming across on a tram -- that was the pair you heard talking. If you have the speed aug up to level 3, it's worth taking a look at their hiding place.

...strange, never saw them even after talking to helios... have to go back and take a look though. Thanx! :cool:

They only appear if you actually go into the long room with the tram track and look toward the direction from which they will come. If you skip that room altogether (or don't look in the right direction), you don't trip the trigger and they won't appear, but you can still hear them talking.

I suspect that you are hearing an Mj12 Commando, rather than a MiB, talking to an Mj12 trooper. You will need to deal with these characters in the coolant control center when you pursue the Tong ending.

If you don't have the level 3 speed aug, you also can go to the room with the med-bot, break the window, climb on top of the bridge, and then try to jump into the MIBs' hiding place from above (but only after the tube's doors have opened, of course). It's not easy, but it's possible.

I took that whole tram thing as a little "Half-Life" tribute.
It DOES look a lot like the little monorail that Gordon Freeman uses to get around Black Mesa...
