Difference between revisions of "Sgt. Schorr"

Briefing

You must be the new +++ Missing Information +++ / girl. You can call me Colleague. I've been working for Arachnos ever since I got my powers, but I've finally decided to go straight, much like yourself. If you have any questions I am happy to answer them for you.

• Why are you going straight?

It started when I had a run-in with Positron. He kicked my ass soundly but saw that my heart wasn't really in the fight. He kinda recruited me there on the spot. I've been sending him info on Arachnos breakthroughs ever since.

• How did you get recruited?

Positron again. He set me up with Sgt. Schorr from Wyvern, and the Sergeant told me about the group he was putting together. Sgt. Schorr wants us using our connections to various groups before our shifting loyalties are fully exposed. I think it is a solid plan, but what really sold me was the big, fat Hazard-pay style paycheck at the end. This girl's got bills to pay, you know?

• Anything else?

Just remember who helped you out once this is all over.

• Leave

Briefing

Ah, Character, I've been expecting the likes of you. I am Second Measure, as in 'that what follows the first cut.' Any questions?

• Why are you working for Wyvern?

Two things, first is the money. Second is that I find my life expectancy grows shorter for every assassination I would perform for the Tsoo as a contract killer. I know that eventually they will grow tired of my Westerner ways.

• How did you get recruited?

I was sent in to kill a high ranking Wyvern official, but when I saw that he was with his wife and kid I... I couldn't go through with it. The official noted my hesitation and put tabs on me. When he saw I was going soft, he put the feelers out to put my talents to better use. I contacted him and he immediately recruited me into the Hammers of Justice.

• Anything else?

I'll help you against the Tsoo, but they are a fickle bunch. My word might not weigh as much as it used to.

• Leave

Briefing

Network rattles off a bounty of information concerning you, about 80% of which you thought no one could know.

• How did you learn that much about me?

Two words: The Internet. You'd be amazed what a little algorithm can bring up. Folks around here call me Network. I worked as the info-man for the Family here in the Rogue Isles for years. I have so much information on them that I'd be crazy not to try to profit off of it.

• Profit?

Yeah, the Hammers are willing to pay me to help get their operatives to their targets. Use my insider knowledge before it becomes common knowledge that I sold my loyalties. That sort of thing.

• Won't you betray all of us to a higher paycheck?

Let's just say there are personal reasons I won't go back to the Family. Now, let's get down to business.

• Leave

Briefing

You're the one Colleague talked about, aren't you?

• What's it to you?

I need you to assure me that none of this is getting back to me. I can't leave Arachnos just yet. If you can do that, then I can get you the proper codes to get you straight to the leader of this whole project.

• I'll make sure they don't track anything back to you

Good, good.

This selection loops to another branch of this conversation which is already documented.

• I make no guarantees

Without a guarantee, then I will not help you. You'll have to take out Dr. Hyperbaric all on your own!

• Leave

• Yes, that's me.

Good, good. You're looking for Dr. Hyperbaric. He's in charge of this whole operation. Once you take him down, I should be promoted to his position. You have to understand that I can't help you any further if they trace undoing back to me, right?

• Yes, nothing will come back to you!

Excellent. Here's the passcode for this base. Everyone here will assume that you're supposed to be here... Until you start a fight anyway!

• Leave

• That seems like a stretch. Arachnos has a lot of brilliant minds in it.

Without a guarantee, then I will not help you. You'll have to take out Dr. Hyperbaric all on your own!

• Leave

Briefing

You're new here, aren't you?

• Dr. Hyperbaric, I've come to shut your project down!

Impossible! Who helped you? It was Dr. Gilmartin, I just know it! That slime-ball!

• Leave

Briefing

Way I see it, we can do this one of two ways. Fun way or the Boring way?

• Boring way.

Sigh, boring way eh? Alright. I'll radio ahead and give the Tsoo a description of you and put you on the guest list. You won't have an issue getting past them. When you get to Rising Vengeance, tell him I've offered to help out his hit. Get him to tell you who the target is.

• You're right, does sound boring. Let's do this the fun way instead.

All right. You go in and take down all the Tsoo you see, I'll get to Rising Vengeance's personal effects and figure out who the target is. You just deal with Rising Vengeance when you come across him.

• Leave

• Good plan

• Fun way.

All right. You go in and take down all the Tsoo you see, I'll get to Rising Vengeance's personal effects and figure out who the target is. You just deal with Rising Vengeance when you come across him.

• Leave

Briefing

And who might you be?

• Second Measure sent me, told me he's been sent to help your current mission.

Measure, eh? He's good, I'd be happy to have his help on this one. Target's name is Fitzhume, some executive. Tell him to meet me at the guy's house out in Nerva.

• I am afraid that's not how this is going to go down.

What??!

• Fight!

Briefing

Target known as Mute is somewhere in this facility. Now I am willing to help you, but I need a favor in return.

• Favor? We're all on the same team here!

At the end of the day, I'm on only one team: Team Network. The Hammers is a good payday, but I am thinking it can be better.

I'm not going in so I am not getting the hazard pay you are, but if you let the bosses know that I -was- in trouble, then we can both profit nicely from this op.

• Stuff it, Network. I'll deal with Mute without your help.

Listen, that kind of attitude is what made me flip on the Family and join the Hammers to begin with. Don't make me regret my choice.

This selection loops to another branch of this conversation which is already documented.

• Ok, I'll see about getting you some hazard pay.

Ok, I've texted all the Family here, and they know to give you a wide berth. Said you were here on behalf of the big boss himself. They should leave you alone until you try to take out Mute anyway. Make sure you hit their computers and get any intel you can.

• Leave

• Favor. Right, whatever you need, Network.

Listen, that kind of attitude is what made me flip on the Family and join the Hammers to begin with. Don't make me regret my choice.

• I don't need your help in taking out these mooks.

You can fight your way to Mute for all I care.

• Leave

• You're right, give me the details and help me out.

Ok, I've texted all the Family here, and they know to give you a wide berth. Said you were here on behalf of the big boss himself. They should leave you alone until you try to take out Mute anyway. Make sure you hit their computers and get any intel you can.

Briefing

You're the one here on the boss' orders, right?

• Yeah, that's me.

So what's the boss want now? I did that last job for him just like he asked.

• He just wanted to make sure that things ended up where they were supposed to.

(Mute shakes his head) Yeah, I put the body in the usual place, just like I always do.

• What place is that?

Wha-? Intruder!

• Boss said he didn't get the usual confirmation. Sent me to make sure.

Mute sighs

How is it MY FAULT that Jake at the junkyard can't make a simple call? I put the body in the trunk, he's the one that crushed it, he should have made the call when it was all done.

• I'll take that to the boss

• What was that job again?

Wha-? Intruder!

• Leave

• Actually I am here to do some pretty heinous things to you.

Wha-? Intruder!

• Leave

Briefing

Good morning, Character. We need to get a couple things straight before we can begin.

• Just give me the access codes and get out of my way.

Hey, we need each other! Don't blow me off. Give me the respect I deserve or you won't get my help!

• You're right, I am sorry. I'll look into this, I promise.

Digiwench has a special...

This selection loops to another branch of this conversation which is already documented.

• Whatever, just give me the code.

Colleague looks irked.

Here's the passcode: 76761

• Hmm, that code didn't seem to work.

• What's that, Colleague?

Sgt. Schorr is short changing me. I swear I am pulling my weight here in the Hammers, and he keeps delaying payments to my account. I shouldn't be paranoid, but I am the one sticking my neck out here.

• I am sure he as good reason. Now, codes please?

Colleague looks irked.

Here's the passcode: 76761

• Hmm, that code didn't seem to work.

• Hmm, I'll look into this after I take down this operation. What's the situation?

Digiwench has a special nano-assembly robot project to auto repair combat armors like Black Scorpion's. You need to gather up the data she has collected and then put an end to her and her operation.

• OK, thanks. By the way, I am pretty sure I could have figured out all this without your help.

Colleague looks irked.

Here's the passcode: 76761

• Hmm, that code didn't seem to work.

• OK, thanks. By the way, you're doing a great job. Keep it up.

Here's the passcode: 75751

• Thanks!

Briefing

Can I help you?

• If you want to help, you can simply not put up a fight.

Oh, great. I assume you are here to take down my operation like the rest of them?.

• Leave

Briefing

Hey there, Character. I've had some assignments from this Bronze Talon guy. He's a real piece of work, and not the kind of guy I want to work with anymore. He's here right now though, with his bodyguard.

• Tell me about the bodyguard.

He's a thug, but I have a sneaking suspicion that the bodyguard thing might be a ruse. The bodyguard is probably Bronze Talon himself. No bodyguard lasts that long by being as thug-like as that one has been acting. I've alerted the safehouse to your presence, and that you are here on my authority. I'm taking a huge risk here, but you're the one doing all the wet work.

• Leave

• Let's do this black ops style, no witnesses.

You against the world, eh? Sounds good to me. I'm going to see what you're made of, and let them know there's an intruder in their safehouse, put everyone on alert. Good luck.

You begin to walk away.

Oh, and one thing. Pretty sure Bronze Talon is a decoy, the real Bronze Talon is the bodyguard. Just an FYI.

• Leave

Briefing

And who might you be?

• Character. I'm here to end you.

Figured out my secret, eh? It was only a matter of time. Time to make short work of you, Character.

• Leave

Briefing

Ok, Character, our target is holed up in here, so it's a simple whack job. But things are never simple in our line of work.

• I've noticed

Somewhere in this safehouse is a safe containing the protection money paid this week. 'Concrete' Bill isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, and from what I can tell he leaves the safe unlocked when he is in the building, since he can never remember the combination. So if you see the safe, do us both a favor and grab that cash. I won't tell Sgt. Schorr if you don't.

• Let's just say I'll consider it.

Briefing

There is a safe here. It is slightly ajar.

• Take some cash for yourself, no one will be the wiser.

You take some cash.

• Leave

• Shut the safe like an honest citizen would.

You shut the safe.

• Leave

Briefing

Well, looks like we are done here. I want to point out that the primary reason you were so successful in your missions was because of the risks that I took. And you ended up with the largest paycheck, according to Network. Do you think you deserve that? I think I deserve a cut of your pay for the fact that I stuck out my neck to make your job easier.

• (Colleague's right, you should give her a cut of your reward.)

I knew you'd see my side. I think we worked well together, so I'll be keeping the Hammer communicator. If you find yourself in over your head and need a hand, give me a call, ok?

• Leave

You received Hammers of Justice: Colleague.

Hammers of Justice: Colleague Hammers of Justice Summon: Colleague You upheld your agreement with Colleague and paid her as agreed at the conclusion of your work with the Hammers of Justice. She rewarded you with an opportunity to call her on an untraceable, discardable cell-phone, which will summon her to assist you in battle for 5 minutes. You can only have one cell-phone number for Colleague at a time. You must be level 30 or higher for her to take your call. If you become a villain or a reinforced villain, she will not answer your call until you switch to at least a neutral alignment. If you have already summoned Second Measure or Network, you will not be able to summon Colleague until they depart.

• (Colleague is insane if she thinks she deserves part of YOUR pay.)

Well I am sorry it had to come to this, but old habits die hard.

• (Colleague grows angry)

Briefing

So this is how it's going to go down. You are going to transfer a portion of your pay to my account, and then I will like and respect you a bit more. Or you can keep your cut and learn firsthand what made a guy like me so desired by a group like the Tsoo.

• (Give Second Measure a cut of your share.)

Glad we could come to the understanding. As a measure of my thanks, if you need my help, hit me up on the Hammer communicator. After that I'll consider us even.

• Leave

You received Hammers of Justice: Second Measure.

Hammers of Justice: Second Measure Hammers of Justice Summon: Second Measure You upheld your agreement with Second Measure and paid him as agreed at the conclusion of your work with the Hammers of Justice.

You can only have one cell-phone number for Second Measure at a time. You must be level 30 or higher for him to take your call. If you become a villain or a reinforced villain, he will not answer your call until you switch to at least a neutral alignment. If you have already summoned Colleague or Network, you will not be able to summon Second Measure until they depart.

• (Steel yourself and tell Second Measure he's not getting a dime more.)

Briefing

I've taken a look at your financials. You don't need the money that the Hammers paid you, so you must have been doing this out of the goodness of your heart. Really did turn over a new leaf did you? I suppose you'll by plying your trade over in Paragon City soon. Now me, on the other hand, I love money, and I can never get enough. So why don't you transfer some of your funds over to my account? Then things don't need to get, um, rough.

• (Give Network a portion of your pay.)

How very noble of you, Character, you might make a decent hero yet. Tell you what, you need my help, I'll be there. Just ask for me on the Hammer communicator.

• Leave

You received Hammers of Justice: Network.

Hammers of Justice: Network Hammers of Justice Summon: Network You upheld your agreement with Network and paid him as agreed at the conclusion of your work with the Hammers of Justice.

• (Fight Network to keep your share of the pay)
