Contact Introduced By

Provost Marchand

Contact Introduces

I've got someone I think you should meet.

One of my esteemed partners has informed me that he'd like to meet with you. His name is Warrant, and he is one of the Powers Division's Top Dogs, the best that Powers Division has to offer. I told him you would be pleased to make his acquaintence.

This contact I've introduced you to can probably move you along down the path you've chosen.

Information

The Deputy Assistant of the Ministry of Information

The Deputy Assistant of Information is little more than a clerk who works at the Ministry of Information. Though on the extreme end of friendly, it's the Deputy's choice of cologne that makes him difficult to talk to for longer than a few minutes. Despite these flaws he appears to be someone that knows a little bit about everyone in Praetoria City.

Prior to Introduction

None

Wrong Alignment

Oh, I have no time to speak with you at the moment, Character.

Initial Contact

Briefing

Well hello. To what do I owe the honor of making the acquaintance with yet another of our distinguished Powers Division members? I am the humble Deputy Assistant of Information, who might you be?

  • Character.

It is a pleasure to meet such an amazing person as yourself, Character. Who was it again that directed you to me? I mean, I have so many people that I work with it really is a chore to keep tabs on all of them.

The Provost General!? He knows m...?

I mean. Um, well, yes. Yes, of course the Provost sent you. It is just that Gerald and I have not really had a chance to talk lately. I was merely surprised he had not contacted me earlier to tell me he was sending someone.

We are good friends, Gerald and I, so I always try and return the favor and treat his friends as my own.

  • I'm not here to be friends, Deputy. Marchand said you'd be useful, was he wrong?
Oh, no, no, the Provost General is not wrong. Nobody said that. Listen, I have seen Powers Division members come and go, and do you know what makes the difference between someone like Reese and someone like Matter-Man?
  • Who is Matter-Man?
Precisely! The public has never heard of Matter-Man. That is my specialty, Character, I will make certain that the people see the deeds you do, and when they do, you will be a household name.
  • I'm on board, but let's see if you can deliver.
  • Friends it is then. Let's talk about how this friendship will work.
Fame is my specialty, Character. I make certain that the people see the deeds you do, and when they do, you will be a household name. I have contacts at TPN, the PPD, and of course, the Ministry of Information. You will have no shortage of valiant deeds to be done with me at your side.
  • That sounds like a plan. Let's get started.


Greeting

  • Well hello there.
  • Hello.
  • Hi

Too Busy

It seems that you have already got your hands full with some other business partners. I figured we had an exclusive set up, Character. Oh, I will be fine. Go ahead and help your other friends and then we can get down to business.

Too Low Level

None

No More Missions

Oh, I am afraid we have hit quite the dry spell of information at this point in time. But do not worry, Character, I will find us something lucrative to pursue. Quite lucrative.

Store

Character, we make headlines together, and that is a good thing. I must say that you have become a shining example to our community under my direction. I am working on putting together a little portfolio on you to pitch to some TPN executives. Once they return my calls I am positive that they will want to draft up a very lucrative contract with you and I. Very lucrative.

Shrewd Lessons

Every now and then you catch a wiff of Pardus, the cheap perfume worn by the Deputy Assistant of Information, and can't help but think back to the only thing he was useful for: teaching you a few

Shrewd Lessons.

The Deputy Assistant of Information is a weasel of a man, but his shrewd intuition helped guide you in properly playing the hearts and minds of Praetoria's people to your favor. By seeking out a murderer at large, you proved your capabilities to the people of Praetoria. But when you placed the memorial rose at the base of the emperor's statue, to commemorate the life of the murderer's victim, you plucked the people's heart strings. For that you will be remembered most of all.

For a moment there you thought that he might actually know what he was talking about, but it soon became obvious that the Deputy was only riding on the coat tails of others. When he referred you to Specialist Harrison concerning a fiasco with the Clockwork, you knew that Harrison was the man with the information. You assisted Harrison in thwarting a Resistance plot to reprogram the Clockwork at the City Maintenance Facility. Your brief partnership with the Deputy had come to an end, but not before he introduced you to a member of Marauder's Top Dogs, a man by the name of Warrant.
