Information

Alpha of Marauder's Top Dogs

Cocky and self-centered, Reese has good reason to throw his weight around Powers Division. Of all of Marauder's Top Dogs none have risen higher or faster than him. No other Powers Division member can match Reese's strength, skill, and cunning, a point he makes abundantly clear with the broken bodies of those who would dare challenge him.

Reese.

Look who it is! Character, talk of the town. Heard all the things about you.
You think you're tough? Got a news flash for you. Me, I'm years beyond what you'll ever be. Name's Reese.
You think just 'cause you take down a few rogue robots and make yourself look good that you really got what it takes?
That you're better than me?
You're not.
If we're gonna work together, you should know right away, you work for me. Got it?

• I'm sensing you have a problem with me.
  

Problem? I have no problem at all with you.

I think it's great that some sort of lower-class person like you thinks they can go toe-to-toe with the higher ups like me. I'm done standing around and talking though. We've got a job to do.

Or rather, you've got a job to do. The people may want to see more of you, but it's time for us to get down to the business of protecting Praetoria.

You can sense Reese doesn't care much about actually protecting Praetoria. He thinks you'll be 'working' for him - which is pure fantasy, of course. Given his high position within Marauder's Top Dogs, you should play along for now and wait for the chance to strike. Reese will no doubt try to make a move to take you down - that's when you'll be able to beat him at his own game.

• I think you really want me to hurt you, Reese. Is that what you want?

Greeting

• You're not dead yet?
• Well, if it isn't Character. To what do I owe the honor? I don't actually mean honor, in case you didn't get it.
• Surprise surprise, everyone's favorite member of Power's Division.

Story Arc

Rise to Power

Part One: Yes, I Survived

If you're going to be on my team, you'll have to earn your keep, Character.

The PPD have discovered a Resistance base down in the tunnels under the Magisterium. Got some sort of leader named Tock down there calling the shots. They wanted to go in there and bring him in, but I told 'em that we'd handle it.

You wanna prove that you're the big bad around here, right? Well, go down there and mop up that Resistance cell.

Given the plainly obvious fact that Reese doesn't like you, it's most likely the case that he's sending you straight into a trap. If the PPD were going to clean this place out, it's unlikely that it'll give you any problems. However, you'll have the benefit of walking into the situation knowing beforehand that Reese intends for you to die in these tunnels.

Sure, I'll go check it out.

Good to see you're all gung-ho about going in for this.

Here's the location where you can get inside. It shouldn't be too hard for someone like you to bring him in. I'd do it, but I've got more important things to worry about.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You're gonna do that thing, right?

Mission Objective(s)

You can smell sulfur in the air - the Resistance are making bombs down here. You'd better watch your step.

• Defeat Tock in the Tunnels
  • Defeat Tock
  • Don't go near the Proximity Bombs

You've finished off Tock and survived all of the planted explosives. Time to go back to Reese and show him that you're still alive.

Mission Exit: You're greeted by the press of Praetoria as you step out of the tunnels. It seems someone put in a tip that you were going to disarm a highly volatile situation with the Resistance. The press ask you various questions and take some photos before rushing off to report about your latest heroics, or so they believe.

Enemies

Resistance

• Tock (Resistance Officer)

Tock dialogue

Upon Approach:

We got ourselves backed in here pretty well, ain't none of them scrampy badgers gonna try to make any flights down here.

Combat:

You're one brave little badger, eh? Time to get ya slammed!

Time to release the tick tocks, you ain't gonna get outta here in one piece Character!

Debriefing

...hello, Character. I'm not surprised to see you alive. After all, you were all over the news, what with you disarming the bomb situation.

You know, being in Powers Division isn't about hogging fame and glory. It's serious work.

You'd better learn that or else you'll get put down real soon. But you're alive. Which is...good. It means there's more stuff you can handle while I'm out doing the important tasks at hand.

I'm tired of us talking face to face. Take this so we don't need to do this anymore.

Part Two: The Life and Times of You

Do you know why we're here, Character? It's because the Resistance thinks that the subway and the tunnels under Nova Praetoria are safe.

Warrant reports that he got a confession from a Resistance fighter about where they're meeting. Now, Warrant said he was gonna go handle this meeting on his own, but I think you should be the one to go down there and take care of business.

Go speak with him and tell him that the higher ups in the Powers Division are telling him to allow you to handle this. Pretty nice of me, isn't it?

You're practically a saint.

Don't get smart with me, Character. Just go see what Warrant has and take care of whatever it is.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Warrant is a busy man, don't keep him waiting.

Mission Objective(s)

• Talk to Warrant

Briefing from Warrant

Warrant.

Hey there, Character. Saw you on the news earlier today.

I heard Reese was planning on sending you down there, so I may or may not have told them that you were out to get a high-profile situation disarmed. Figured you'd make it out alright - the look on Reese's face when the show came up was priceless.
So Reese wants you to handle this case of mine? Figures. I was going to go in there with Stern, but he wants to send you in there alone. Must mean he's trying to kill you - again.
Well, here's the information I have. I doubt you'll die over there, so I'll see what I can do on my end to help you make Reese look like a fool.

---

Mission Objective(s)

The Resistance seem to be slipping if they think they can keep supplies on the surface. It should be simple enough to beat them all down - then show off your victory to make Reese look like a fool.

• Take out the Resistance Gathering
  • 3 Supply Crates Remain

You destroyed the Resistance supply cache!

Mission Exit: You step out of the warehouse to see a small squad of reporters waiting to get your photo. Amongst all of their questions, one stands out - 'What are you thoughts on Praetor White ordering an Induction Ceremony?'

Unnecessary Solicitation

The Resistance aren't going to wait for you down in the tunnels forever, get a move on.

Enemies

Resistance

• Pipe (Resistance Officer)
• Ringtone (Resistance Officer)

Pipe and Ringtone dialogue

Pipe:

Upon Approach:

Get these things outta here now! You must be out of your brains to try to keep 'em topside!

Combat:

Badger?! Not what we need, slam 'em!

---

Ringtone:

Upon Approach:

This is bad, REAL bad. Who had the idea to keep all these pick me ups on topside?!

Combat:

Oh we got ourselves a star here!

---

Debriefing

Character.

I tell you this isn't about fame and glory, and what do you do? You hog both, and now I'm being ordered by Praetor White to set up an induction ceremony for you?! I swear, this is the most ridiculous thing ever.

You don't even do anything!

Well, if it's a ceremony that the big boss wants, it's a ceremony that he'll get.

Part Three: A Spectacle for the Crowd

I've been told to tell you what exactly the Induction Ceremony is.

It's not easy rising to power and fame - power in the division.

When someone catches our eye, we run 'em through a series of fights with our toughest members.

I don't need to participate in it anymore, of course. They ruled it unfair after I kept wiping the floor with all of our inductees.

White ordered me to set one up, so I set one up.

On the off chance you make it through this, White is putting you on par with me. You're not better than me, mind you, just on the same level. On paper.

Right, on paper. So who's up first?

Your first, and last opponent, is going to be Stern. If Stern is having an off day and somehow you win, you're fighting that little pal of yours, Warrant.

You'll probably beat Warrant since he's a little...

Ahem. If you past Warrant, we have the final rounds taking place in the heart of the Magisterium.

I kind of hope you make it that far - at least then everyone will see how you're full of hot air when you fall down in the shadow of Cole's tower.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Stern is your first opponent, you can find him over at the C.M.F.

Mission Objective(s)

You can hear the sound of Clockwork gathered. Stern must have summoned them all here to the fight.

• Fight Stern
  • Defeat Stern

You defeated Stern!

Enemies

• Stern

Stern briefing

Stern,

You're Kaisan? Thought you'd be taller.

You ready for this fight? I won't take it easy on you.

I'm ready.

---

Stern dialogue

Before Combat:

I'm ready for you, Kaisan. Let's finish this.

During Combat:

It's a shame, that you'll be put down here, when you've worked so hard.

I came prepared, Kaisan. Releasing oil slicks.

Defeated:

Hmph...maybe you'll be the one to defeat Reese after all.

Mission Objective(s)

You feel the wind blow against your face as you step onto the PPD roof.

• Fight Warrant
  • Defeat Warrant

Enemies

• Warrant

Unnecessary Solicitation

Warrant is your next opponent.

{{hidden|Warrant briefing|bg1=orange|

Warrant.

Good to see you, Kaisan, looks like you and I finally have to go toe to toe. I'm looking forward to this spar.

I'll meet you on the top of the PPD building when you're ready.

Let's do it.

Warrant dialogue

Before Combat:

Are you ready for this fight, Kaisan?

Let's get on with this, shall we? I won't hold back, so you shouldn't either!

During Combat:

Reese hopes that this will end up killing you. Just so you know.

I know it won't, however. That doesn't mean I won't do everything I can to win, though!

Defeated:

I knew it would end like this. Good luck, moving forward, Kaisan.

Mission Objective(s)

• Attend the Final Round in Magisterium

{{hidden|Reese briefing|bg1=orange|

Reese.

You think you got what it takes, Kaisan? They got a whole little arena set up for your final bout in the Magisterium. Not that I think it's a good idea - people shouldn't be there to see Riptide rip you to shreds. But Praetor White seems fine with it.

This is me laughing, Reese. Ha ha ha. I'm ready to go.
