Overview

Message Man is a Praetorian contact who is not located anywhere. In the Contacts window, his location is given as "???". The Message Man is an endless source of missions for Resistance characters, much like the Police Radio for Heroes and the Newspaper for Villains.

Introductions

Contact Introduced By

Automatically added to contact list for members of the Resistance upon training to level 5, and may be called immediately.

You've been sent an encoded message by a member of the Resistance named Message Man. It says that you can contact him whenever you wish to help the Resistance fight the good fight.

Information

Resistance Messenger

No one knows where exactly Message Man is, not even members of the Resistance. This makes it easier for him to communicate news that he discovers. Message Man walks a dangerous line, and many believe one day he'll just simply vanish. Until then, he continues to try to fight the good fight against Emperor Cole and his regime.

Initial Contact

What's up, Character? Name's Message Man, I got it 'cause I'm good at relayin' messages. Now I ain't gonna go full on Resistance speak on you, 'cause we ain't got time to lose. You make sure to contact me every now and then and I'll make sure to give you the scoop on what's goin' on here in Praetoria. There's a lotta stuff we can do to start bringin' down the man, but all of it has gotta start with you, you know?

Greeting

• Time to stomp on some of them blueberries, eh?

Too Busy

Need information

Unnecessary Solicitation

Message Man's "unnecessary solicitation" dialogue (when a character contacts him prior to finishing the mission) is always the same, regardless of the mission selected:

Make sure to get this thing handled, yeah?

PPD Bringing Us Down in the Tunnels

Briefing

Them PPD have been snoopin' around too much in the tunnels lately. We can't even move around some supplies without runnin' into a group of 'em. It's a little dangerous, but we need someone to get into those tunnels and lower the PPD numbers a bit.

Fight the PPD in Underground Nova

I got the info sent over to you now. All you gotta do is put the hurt on some PPD, like say, ten of 'em. That should give us some breathin' space to do what we gotta do in the tunnels.

PPD Presence Overwhelming in Tunnels

Briefing

We've got way too many PPD roamin' around in the tunnels beneath Neutropolis. We got a lot of stuff down there that's not for their eyes, if you get my drift. Someone's gotta start pushing them back so the Resistance can keep on movin' forward with their plans.

Defeat 20 Praetorian Police

I got the info sent over to you now. All you gotta do is put the hurt on some PPD, like say, twenty of of 'em. That'll set 'em back a good amount while lettin' us continue on the important things, like gettin' some prisoners of war outta Praetoria.

What do you say?

Rescue Civilians from the Destroyers

Neuron Clockwork Just Asking to be Attacked

I got some prime info regardin' some of Neuron's Clockwork. There's a gap in PPD security at a specific time. We can use that time to get into the warehouse they're kept in and smash 'em apart!

PPD Gathering up Resistance Supporters

Briefing

Things just got a lot worse over there in Neutropolis. Seems like some Resistance supporters in the city were found by the PPD and are bein' round up in a warehouse.

I got the info sent over to you now. The traitor probably ain't gonna put up much of a fight, but we still gotta take down whoever is heading the investigation from the PPD and wipe their computers clean of any info that the traitor told 'em. Crazy stuff that we actually got betrayed, you know?

Syndicate Thieves Hiding in Nearby Office

Briefing

I gotta say, I personally think workin' with the Syndicate was one of the worst ideas possible. We got a group of 'em that just went AWOL and took a bunch of our supplies. Deja vu, right? We need someone who can safely run around on the surface to beat down these guys and get us back the supplies.

missing click text

I got the info sent over to you now. They got crates containin' some of our medical supplies and another holdin' our weapons. There's a squad that's hurtin' real bad not havin' those! Make sure to make whoever was leadin' this charge pay for what they pulled on us!
