Mission:Justifying the Means - Part Three: My Choice
Part Three: My Choice
Briefing
This is Rothstein's big grand finale, Character. We got the picture of the place where he's planted, along with all them little balloons of happy-gas. All we need now is someone to go on in there and flip that switch to cause night-night for good to all 'em badgers. That lotto winner is YOU, Character, 'cause of your affair with the whole swingin' some hole in one's with all them badgers. They ain't gonna make a fist seein' you, since you got that stamp of Powers Division.
Ricochet hands you a gas mask.
Ya just put this thing after gettin' the happy gas started and make sure them badgers don't try comin' back to life. Everyone's gonna say goodnight tonight!
- Alright, and what about Rothstein?
Rothstein? Rothstein flew the coop! Went nuts after the whole ball and chain got yanked and cracked, wanted this to be the swang song of his ballet.
He ain't wantin' to come back for a sequel, you got me? So you ain't gotta worry about signing any new deals with him, 'cause he is out for good.

Hah...I'm not getting' outta here alive, Character.
This...this is where I die. I got nothing left to live for...

Briefing
Yo slamapper! You did it!
We got them badgers all lookin' over their shoulders and changin' their clothes out now, they ain't gonna rest at the movies now that they know we're out in FORCE!
You see Rothstein's final swang song?
If you let Rothstein die
- I did, I watched him die.
- Oooo, that's makin' me get the brrrr's, slammer, you got the blood to make things happen!
- Just gotta make sure you don't go doing the snappity-snap like Rothstein, best thing is to not get your rope anchored on to anythin' hard, that's my sayin'! 'Cause in this whole blippity-blap shindig, you can't be lugging around any heavy weight, you dig?
- I think I do.
If you saved Rothstein
- No, I actually saved Rothstein.
- Wha?! What's the lightbulb all for? You weren't asked to go in and swoop anyone!
- Now we gotta throw him in the wagon and cart him along while he's soaking up space!
- Aaargh! Makes me wanna punch some flowers!
- I can't be staying red in the face at you though, slammer, 'cause you're tough, even if you got some sorta shield deal going on.
- ...right.
Debriefing
Shinetastic job! With bricks-for-brains safely tethered down here we won't have to scramble like omelets to break some eggs.
Yeah, yeah, I know, you don't know what I'm sayin'.
You and me, though, we finished our thirty, doesn't look like we're getting renewed for a pick-up season, but maybe we got ourselves some reruns huh?
Got someone else though who wants to ask you for some swoopin' and handin', that girl, Splice. You up for a little round two on a different network?
Ricochet is a little... eccentric. Just nod a lot and try to follow what she's jabberin' on about.
