Introductions

Contact Introduced By

• Calvin Scott

Contact Introduces

I've got someone I think you should meet.

• Luke Larson

Do you know Luke Larson? Yeah, the politician. He's done a lot to keep Imperial City a great place to live, but recently, with all the crazy going on, he's taken a pretty bad rap. Whatever, people don't have all the information. If they really knew Luke they'd see that he had their best interests in mind. Despite working for the government, he believes strongly in the old ways of the republic. You can trust him.

This contact I've introduced you to can probably move you along down the path you've chosen.

Information

Idealist

Jessica Flores is an independent investigative reporter whose agenda is uncovering the media's lies about the Resistance movement and showing people the truth of things. This is a dangerous job, however, and she has adopted several pen names under which she writes her articles in order to hide her identity. She hopes to one day crack the wall of censorship that TPN imposses over any and all stories involving the Resistance movement and its believers.

Initial Contact

I'm Jessica Flores. I don't normally get to talk to you Powers Division types, so this is really exciting for me. I'd love to ask you a bunch of questions for an article I've been meaning to write, but right now I can't remember a single one of them. Ha ha, I'm such a dork sometimes. Do you have time to talk, maybe they'll come back to me if we just chat for a little while.

Greeting

Hi there! I haven't seen your face around before.

Hey.

The Truth Hurts

Template:MeritAward

Souvenir

You still have the Loyal Tea & Coffee card that Jason Maxwell gave you. On the back is the passcode to Laura's computer, an employee at TPN. Seeing it reminds you of a story that proves the old adage:

The Truth Hurts

It all began when you met Jessica Flores, an independent reporter who wrote columns for TPN Today under a variety of pen names. She was working on a piece to expose the truth behind the Destroyers and their tie with Praetor White, in addition to uncovering where they were getting their supply of Fixadine from. You interviewed a few Destroyers and eventually got your big break when you ran into Acid Black. He revealed not only a fairly lengthy history of the Destroyers during the Hamidon Wars, but he also hinted to you that the Praetors might be supplying the Destroyers with Fixadine.

Jessica was overjoyed to discover that the facts she had dug up on her own coincided with what Acid Black was saying. She sent her story off to TPN, but then had another task in store for you. All media intended for TPN use must first pass through Athena Labs for government approved editing. The plan was that a friend of Jessica's would disable the surveillence systems in Athena Labs remotely. This gave you a window of time to enter the facility and move her article through the editing process unchanged, and then get out before no one was the wiser.

Unfortunately, the PPD were the wiser. Jessica's boyfriend, Jason Maxwell, and TPN chief editor Kenneth Hall, were supposed to transmit the story once it arrived. Jessica got an urgent call from Jason that was cut off early. Panicking she insisted that they were in danger and pleaded with you to rescue them. Entering TPN you soon discovered that Jessica was right, the place was crawling with PPD searching for Resistance sympathizers. By the time you found Jason Maxwell the PPD had almost beaten him to death with their 'non-lethal' force gauntlets. Jason told you that the PPD had the main control room locked down but informed you of a back door into the system that he secretly installed on a co-worker's computer. He gave you the password and told you to find Kenneth Hall in order to operate the transmitter and send the story out. You found Kenneth and gained access to the transmitter through the back door. Returning to Jason you found him to be completely unresponsive. Fearing the worst you rushed him outside where the Resistance whisked Jason and Kenneth off to a Resistance safehouse. Jessica was in tears over what had happened to her boyfriend, but let you know that while Praetoria may not know who showed them the truth, she would always remember the sacrifices made so that others might not have to.

Part One: Party Crasher

I've been working for weeks on this story, Varasin, but I hit a brick wall. Well, to be more precise, I ran into a bit of problem called The Destroyers.

Hold on, let me back up and bring you up to speed. Don't worry, I'm not recording you, that would get us both into more trouble than we can afford.

Ok, so, here it is. I've been trying to figure out who is supplying the Destroyers with their Fixadine and what their apparent beef is with Praetor White. As you can imagine it hasn't been very easy to interview these guys, I even had a few psychos take a swing or two at me, good thing my brother and I took boxing lessons a few years back. Whatever, that isn't important. What is important is that I need your help to get the last bit of my story from the Destroyers here in Imperial City. Do you think you could help me out?

Help Jennifer Flores with the Destroyers

Oh! That's so awesome! Thank you so much. You rock!

This is what I need you to do. Take this recorder device and question the Destroyers in Imperial City until you find out where they are getting their Fixadine from.

Once you figure that out, then comes the hard part. Bust into the Fixadine den and look for clues and question everyone you can. I have a theory that someone in the government may be supplying these guys, but to what end, I can't imagine.

Oh, I'm so happy you are willing to help me. Man, I was freaking out there for awhile. I wasn't sure if I'd find anyone.

Unsolicited Contact

You can't just go up and ask a guy crushed out on Fixadine where he got his fix from. You're going to have to play rough with 'em first.

Mission Objective(s)

Jessica gives you a small recorder to tape any confessions you might get out of the Destroyers.

• Find the Fixadine Source
  • Defeat 5 Destroyers

You learned the location of a Destroyers' Fixadine den here in Logos.

Mission Objective(s)

The music and lights mix with the heady smell of sweat and Fixadine in the air. There's absolutely no way you are walking in here without a fight.

• Search Acid Black's Fixadine Den
  • Find Evidence
  • Defeat Acid Black

You took down Acid Black, one of the toughest Destroyers you have yet faced, and gathered some disturbing information.

Enemies

• Destroyers

Debriefing

Tell me you found something good. Oh, I can tell you found out something good.

Jessica reviews all of the recording you did in an almost catatonic state. When she's done it takes her awhile to say anything.

I... I can't believe this. This is AMAZING!

Unable to contain her joy she gives you a big hug and is all smiles.

Alright, I just have to do some last minute editing on my piece with these new facts, then I'm going to send a copy to TPN.

We're going to blow the doors right off their hinges, Character!

Without your help, the injustices of this government might have gone unchecked. Thank you for validating my belief that I'm doing something right.

Part Two: Edit Pass

Alright, Character, I finished the editing and had my boyfriend drop it into the TPN drop box. Don't worry, I used one of my pen names, Tetrachloride, I've used in the past.

Now, the only issue is that TPN sends all their footage to Athena Labs. They're going to edit everything out of my story over there.

So that's where I'm going to need your help again. I need you to get into Athena Labs and make sure that my material skips the editing process.

Alright!

Here, this is the schedule for the security sweeps of the building. My boyfriend knows a guy who can neutralize the surveillance systems remotely, but the security system will figure that out in a few minutes. Once you access the computers the Clockwork will be alerted to your tampering. If the security system detects an intruder, the PPD will be called. Their best response time is 2 minutes.

Character, you're going to have to move fast to get in and out of there unseen. I have faith in you though.

Those Loyalists who are truly loyal to the safety and peace of Praetoria would do well to speak with Provost Marchand about events that are happening.

Unsolicited Contact

I need you to get into Athena Labs before they edit my story. The editing process is automated, so if you move the necessary files out of the batch process into the edited folder then we're home free.

Mission Objective(s)

If Jessica is right, you've got less than 5 minutes to get in and out of here!

• Manipulate Files in Athena Labs
  • Modify Production Files
  • Surveillance Offline For 5 Minutes

You pushed Jessica's files through the Athena Labs editing process.

Enemies

• Clockwork
• Praetorian Police

Debriefing

You did it?

You did it!

This. Is. So. Awesome! I'm going to nail those high and mighty Praetors! Finally, all my hard work will actually do something to help improve things and expose the crud under all this white wash and gold!

Finale

You know Jason Maxwell? Yeah, the columnist who has sparked all the controversy over at TPN Today for his borderline Pro-Resistance articles. Well he is a member of the Resistance... He's also my boyfriend.

Well, our plan was to get my article into TPN through Athena Labs, just as you helped me do, but... we ran into a snag.

You see, Jason and I were going to go underground with the Resistance before this story hit, but, I think something has gone wrong.

He called me a few minutes ago and just whispers the word 'Get Out Now' and then hung up. I think he's in serious trouble, Character. If he ends up in the BAF, it's all my fault!

Help Jessica

Thank you. Listen. He and Kenneth Hall, the chief editor, are on the TPN Campus right now. Kenneth is a Resistance member also. The plan was to push my story right before a break and then leave.

They were supposed to be out of the building by now, but I haven't heard a word from them since Jason's last phone call. Character, I'm scared.

Please, please, can you find Jason and Kenneth and get them out of there?

Unsolicited Contact

You need to find them, I'm sure they are in danger!

Mission Objective(s)

The building is crawling with PPD search teams looking for the Resistance sympathizers you are here to protect.

• Rescue Jason and Kenneth from TPN
  • Transmit Jessica's Story
  • Rescue Kenneth Hall

You managed to successfully transmit Jessica's story, and save the life of Kenneth Hall. Jason Maxwell, however, is in rough shape.

Editor's Note: Jason Maxwell will be near the entrance, unconscious and on the floor, guarded by two PPD. You need to defeat the PPD then interact with Jason to start the mission proper.

Enemies

• Praetorian Police

Notable NPCs

• Jason Maxwell (non-escort hostage)
• Kenneth Hall (non-escort hostage)

Jason Maxwell

Mission completion

As you exit the building, a PPD police cruiser races up along the street and screeches to a halt near you. The passenger doors fly open and you see the glow of Resistance armor inside the vehicle. They wave you over and Kenneth Hall rushes into the front seat of the vehicle.

'Give us the kid, we'll get him treatment!', yells the girl in the back seat.

You carefully get Jason Maxwell into the back of the car and kick the door closed just as the girl yells, 'We're secure. Thirty-Two, get us out of here!'

With that the police cruiser takes off down the street, lights flashing and everything.

Now all you have to do is tell Jessica Flores that her boyfriend might have died getting the truth out.

Debriefing

Jessica Flores bursts into tears. There is little comfort to be given her in knowing that her boyfriend may well have sacrificed his life so that her story could reach the masses.

I... I need to see Jason. I need to get out of here...

Character, thank you. The people of Praetoria may not ever know who 'Tetrachloride' is, or who Acid Black was talking to in that video, but I will always remember that the sacrifices made today were made so others could see the all powerful truth.
