Any alternative to planting the whisper chip?

I feel wrong doing that quest and snooping, but it's a main mission. Feels like there should be an alternative choice to helping the hacktivists? I've done everything else there is to do in Prague, trying to postpone planting the chip.

There's no alternative.. though, I'll be honest: You won't regret planting it.

Ah I see. I'll carry on then, but I was expecting choice in Deus Ex :)

DX1 didn't give you a choice about betraying UNATCO. To think that future DX games must be totally branching is to remember the past with rose tinted glasses.
