Information

Commander of the PPD Powers Division

Praetor White claims the title of Commander of the Praetoria Police's Powers Division, the 'Power Police'. As leader of the Praetoria Police department's Powers Division, he helps train all the new hopefuls. In doing so, he has the greenhorns fight amongst themselves to establish rank. It is strongly encouraged to challenge others, especially your superiors. Because of this the streets are full of green Powers Division recruits trying to get a leg up. Known as Marauder during the darkest days of the Hamidon Wars, White is well known throughout the city and respected as much as he is feared.

Initial Contact

Praetor White looks at you beneath his glasses, cracking his neck.

Character, heard a lot of things about you. Don't go getting all cocky just 'cause you took down some member of the Resistance. You're talkin' to the guy who fought durin' the Hamidon Wars, so I ain't impressed hearin' that someone took down a stupid idealist who could use a gun.

But you got my attention, so that means something - for now.

You got some spark in you, even if you're still on the same level as most of the super-powered dogs here in Praetoria. Me? I'm the Top Dog, I keep all the other powered dogs in line.

You wanna get noticed, you break yourself away from the pack and join mine. That what you're trying to do, Character?

That's the idea, Praetor White.

I see a lotta ambition in you, Character, but that ain't gonna give you a free pass into my group.

If you really wanna get through the Powers Division though, we're gonna have to make sure you've got the skills it takes to stand side by side with us. You think you've got what it takes? 'Cause I ain't got time to babysit any dogs when I could just throw you away.

I've got what it takes, believe me. What's next?

Next huh?

We start working, that's what's next!

Get yourself used to being in the high society of the Loyalists, then come to me and we can get moving towards keeping the peace here in Praetoria.

Will do

Greeting

I've got five good reasons why you shouldn't bother me. If you keep bugging me, I'll show them to you all at once.

Joining the Pack

Part One: Acts of Desperation

This day just gets better and better!

We lost a lot of officers during the Resistance attack on Precinct 5 earlier. Then, to make matters worse, the dumb-as-dirt TPN media circus decides it would be a good idea to report on it and spin the pyrrhic victory into a 'crushing victory over the terrorists' center piece in today's news, so now a riot's broken out here in the Magisterium!

But to top it all off the Resistance used the battle as a distraction to get at their true objective, they've taken hostages in the Ministry of Technology.

I need you to get in there and rescue those hostages before someone important gets killed.

Mission Acceptance

I just can't believe how lax the PPD have gotten without us around. Well, maybe you can show them how it's done.

You know, I'd go in there and take care of it myself, I even have half a mind to do so anyway, but Cleo is right; I'd end up killing every coward in there and level the building, and that wouldn't do us any favors right now winning back the trust of the people.

Unsolicited Contact

I'm pretty sure those terrorists aren't going to stick around all day. If I were you I'd be in there busting heads right now. So get to it!

Mission Objective(s)

• Rescue Hostages in the Ministry of Technology
  • Rescue the Hostages
  • Rescue Dr. Tanner
  • Defeat the Resistance Leader

You rescued the hostages! Return to Praetor White for debriefing.

Enemies:

• Resistance

Debriefing

Character. You didn't get yourself killed. Good job taking down those scum bags...

What's this? A recording?

Praetor White listens to the message Ford recorded. Without a second thought he crushes the device in his gigantic metal hand and dumps the pieces on the ground for a cleaner bot to take care of and then snarls.

Those Resistance fighters knew they were on a one way ticket into the Ministry and they went in anyway.

Those damn fools are fighting for the wrong side! Why, I'd strangle my own mother for dedication like that in the PPD! Instead, here I am in charge of a damn peace corps who ain't fought a real fight in their lives!

If this is any indication of the future, then I got the feeling that everything is about to change, Character, and not at all for the better...

You have a phone on you? Good. Call me on my direct line from now on. Gettin' kinda tired of looking at your face all the time.

Part Two: In Too Deep

Speaking of changes, the first thing I did this morning was triple the number of PPD patrols in the tunnels. Calvin Scott is still at large and we have reports that he is somewhere down there, along with a few Resistance staging areas.

Well I just got word that a PPD search team ran into some real trouble and need the kind of help that only Powers Division can offer. Seeing as how you're here and you can hold your own against that gutter trash, I'm sending you in to bring those fools out.

Find Officer Tepp. He's the one who retreated back into communication range and radioed for Powers Division help. Once you find him do what you can for the others.

Mission Acceptance

That's the fighting spirit. Get our boys out of there alive.

And another thing... Make those little tunnel rats wish they were never born.

Unsolicited Contact

You make those tunnel rats wish they weren't born yet?

Mission Objective(s)

• Rescue PPD in Tunnels
  • Link up with Officer Tepp
  • 2 more PPD Officers to rescue (optional)
  • Rescue Sergeant Hastings

You rescued Sergeant Hastings and the critical information he discovered.

Enemies

• Resistance

Notable NPCs

• Sergeant Hastings (Hostage, Escort to Exit)
• Officer Tepp (Ally)

Debriefing

Good job, Character. It sounds like Sergeant Hastings and his team discovered that the Resistance were planning a large coordinated attack on the Ministry of Information. Now that they know we know that, they'd be fools to try it.

Hrmm, first the Ministry of Technology, and now the Ministry of Information. I wonder what it is they're really after. The Resistance have shown that they have plans within plans and that what appears to be a full scale attack is actually just a diversion.

All in all it's not a bad day's work for the PPD. But hopefully this little adventure of theirs will filter through their ranks and remind them that it will be Powers Division, not the beat cops, who are gonna end this little resistance movement.

Part Three: Just as Sweet

Well, things seem to have calmed down a bit. At least, enough for me to feel comfortable sending you out for an errand while I keep my eye on things.

It ain't flashy but I need it done. Think of it as a personal favor for yours truly.

I need you to get me some flowers for my lady. Can I count on you?

Flowers? I didn't sign up for this!

Mission Acceptance

I didn't sign up for this either...

...

Listen, Character, when Cleo's unhappy, I'm unhappy, and nobody wants me unhappy, alright?

Now, head over to the flower vendor near the transit station and pick up some synthetic yellow roses. Cleo likes them best.

Mission Objective(s)

• Talk to the Flower Vendor

The Flower Vendor
