| − | ==== Part One: Lending a Hand ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | {{Character}}, if we're going to turn the tide of the battle against Cole, we're going to need to convince Longbow to join the side of the Resistance. Many Longbow have a stigma against Praetorians. They believe they're all out to destroy life as they know it on Primal Earth. Only a few Longbow have joined the Resistance to help them, though what those few have done has helped incredibly.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | What you must do is help show Longbow that not all Praetorians are evil, that many of them are fighting the fight that they themselves claim to be in. If the Resistance and Longbow do not unite, I fear that Cole and his regime will easily wipe all of our groups out in one fell swoop.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | {{green|Sounds reasonable. What's the first plan?}}
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | It would be a series of plans, {{Character}}. There is a Longbow prisoner that the PPD are currently keeping in one of their facilities. They are going to transport the prisoner to the area you call the Behavioral Adjustment Facility in Imperial City. If this is done, I do believe that is the last we will see of that prisoner.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Saving this man will go a long way towards gaining Longbow's trust, though I fear it will not be enough. The prisoner will be the first of many steps towards gaining the support of the group.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Unnecessary Solicitation'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Saving that prisoner will help gain Longbow's support. Time is of the essence, {{Character}}.

| − | Things with the prisoner went well. Already Longbow is beginning to murmur about 'good' Praetorians. You'll have to excuse their ignorance.

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Debriefing'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | It seems that Longbow is growing more trustworthy of you now, {{Character}}. Well, I should be more specific, more trusting of Praetorians in general. More Longbow are beginning to emerge to help the Resistance. Our main issue now is the various Longbow cells surviving the long journey through the ghoul infested tunnels. That is a problem you can let me handle, however.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Our main concern right now is discovering the rest of that data you found. The term 'Phalanx' there refers to a hero team on Primal Earth called the [[Freedom Phalanx]]. It seems Cole is planning something that will wipe out ''everyone'' that stands against him in Primal Earth. We need to figure out what that is and put a stop to it, or else the Resistance will never gain the firepower it so desperately needs to take down Cole.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Part Two: Bearing Arms ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The issue regarding the data you found could easily be solved by one [[Aaron Walker]]. However, it seems Praetor Berry is one step ahead of us. I know that you've worked with Walker previously, correct? Berry is all too aware of this and is taking steps to deal with those that have wronged him.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | I tell you this because the one man who can help us has gone ''missing''. I believe that Praetor Berry has taken command of his own team of T.E.S.T and arrested Aaron Walker. They would be the only ones that Walker would not be able to see coming right away.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If we're going to figure out what exactly is in that data you found, I'll need you to rescue Aaron Walker.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | {{green|Do you know where he is?}}
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Yes, there is a facility where the T.E.S.T have no doubt taken him. I must emphasize that you hurry in these efforts, {{Character}}. Aaron Walker has been a thorn in Berry's side for quite some time, but he is one of the few people in Praetoria that has the ability to get us the information we want. Berry knows this and will act on it.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In the meantime, I shall look for another associate of yours who has gone missing: James Noble.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Unnecessary Solicitation'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Walker must be saved, {{Character}}, for the sake of all in Praetoria and Primal Earth.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | {{Mission Objective|Entrance=T.E.S.T have this placed locked down. Praetor Berry has gone to great lengths to ensure that Walker does not help you - time to see just how far he's gone.|Primary=Rescue Aaron Walker|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=Aaron Walker is dead, but he may have been able to help the war effort with this one, single note of his.}}

| − | | + | |
| − | B-but Neuron... h-he accelerated my brain... it's m-moving t-too fast now. G-gonna... it's gonna snap any minute now... t-then I'm a goner... t-that's gonna be it for me.

| − | No time... no time left for me... just minutes... seconds... then I'm done for...
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | I'm not sad, though... I'm actually... kinda happy. Weird... huh? I was always... just doing random things, never really... fought for anything. But you and me... we did something good... right? We put a stop to some of Neuron's freaks... we saved James Noble... that was good... wasn't it? I got to finally do at least... one good thing for someone... before everything came crashing down.

| − | T-that's how N-neuron got me... I found out everything... he zapped my brain... pulled it all out of there... but t-there's a guy, t-there's a guy who can help you. I-I wrote it down... before Neuron tapped my brain...
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ''Aaron hands you a piece of paper. On it is written the name, 'Steve Sheridan is here'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | {{green|Who is Steve Sheridan?}}

| − | T-that Dark Watcher guy'll know... Y-yeah... I know he's here. I'm the... I'm the best, r-remember?

| − | | + | |
| − | '''Debriefing'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | {{Character}}, did you find Aaron Walker?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ... I see. Aaron Walker was a good man, Taosin. I'm sure I don't need to tell you that. His death is but one of many caused by Cole's regime. Too many good men and women have died for Cole and his Praetors to build their empire. Let us make sure that Aaron is the last, and that his sacrifice will not be in vain.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You said he gave you a note? Hrm... Steven Sheridan! This is perfect, {{Character}}. I don't know how Aaron Walker found this out, but he may have just helped to save us all and move you forward.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==== Part Three: Dr. Science to the Rescue ====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | I admit, I am somewhat surprised Steven Sheridan is here. It is perhaps the one intelligent thing I have witnessed Longbow do during my time here in Praetoria. Steven Sheridan is a brilliant scientist in Primal Earth and was once called Dr. Science. He possesses possibly the most brilliant mind in the world. He may not have a mind that is as fast as our departed Aaron Walker, but he will be able to figure out what that data leads to if you bring it to him.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | {{green|Do you know where he is?}}
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Some of my own agents have told me that he is currently with a squad of Longbow deep in the tunnels beneath Neutropolis. We need to get Steven Sheridan onto the side of the Resistance and into safe hands as soon as possible.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | I imagine he can prove a great help in bringing more aid through from Primal Earth, but if he were to be captured by Cole, then I fear all would be lost. Find Steven Sheridan and give him the data you have. He will be able to tell you what is happening and how exactly we can prevent it.
