Editor's Note: WARNING: Luke Larson will not introduce you to Doctor Steffard if you have progressed in the Interrogator Kang Responsiblity Story Arc |
I've got someone I think you should meet.
You may have met Dr. Steffard before, I know that he assists Powers Division regularly what with his studies on super power origins and what not. Well, he's got a good head on his shoulders and we've discussed a lot of pretty dangerous politics lately. I want you to meet with him and talk to him. I'm sure learning that there are those in the division who sympathize with our movement will make him happy.
This contact I've introduced you to can probably move you along down the path you've chosen.
Information
Public Official, for the people.
Luke Larson is one of the elected city officials for Imperial City. He has served his district well and is known for being tough on violent crime and a voice of reason amongst his collegues. He is at odds with the Total Praetoria Network, suggesting that their monopoly on the world news stage is a breeding ground for propaganda and biased reporting, it is no wonder then that he is somewhat of a local hero to independent news reporters around the city who are trying to tell their side of the big stories.
Prior to Introduction
I'm afraid I'm a very busy man, Character. If you could leave a message with my office I will get back to you as soon as I can, but right now the people need me to answer their questions and concerns. Imperial City is a big place, and there is a lot going on. I hope you understand.
Initial Contact
Character? Luke Larson, it's good to finally meet you.
I've been keeping tabs on the new Powers Division guys and gals coming into my city, it's a little hobby of mine, but lately, it's been really hard to keep up. So many new faces and names, I can't keep them all straight.
But, since you are here I could really use your hand. You see, there's only so much good a politician can do in a situation like this. What we need is a doer out there matching action to words. The people are searching for a hero, Character, it could be you.
Greeting
- Hello.
- Hi, how are you today?
Too Busy
We've all got a lot of stuff to do, Character, so don't feel like your other responsibilities are holding me up. Prioritize what you need to get done and do it, I've got some other initiatives that could use my attention right now.
Too Low Level
None
No More Missions
You've done good work, Character. Imperial City is a safer place because of your actions. The Destroyers have been trounced, the Crusaders have been taught to play nice, and Tunnel Rat is no worse for wear - though I think it'll be months before she so much as comes out of the tunnels, she had such a scare.

Who Needs Enemies?
Sometimes when you walk the streets of Praetoria City at night you catch the reflection of two eyes watching you from the shadows. You recognize that it's just Tunnel Rat's way of saying hello. Her skittish nature and paranoia reminds you to be mindful of who you count as your allies. It's a lesson the Crusaders still haven't learned, because with friends like the Destroyers:
Who Needs Enemies?
It began when you met Luke Larson, a public official who secretly supports the Resistance movement, well, the Wardens at least. Larson was concerned that the extreme measures the Crusaders were willing to go was jeopardizing any chance for the Resistance to gain any following with the citizens of Praetoria. Proving his point he told you that one of his informants in the Resistance had uncovered a Crusader plot to join forces with the Destroyers. Larson wanted to know what these two violent groups were up to and so he sent you to crash one of their meetings. There you found a stockpile of high explosives that the Destroyers were getting ready to move to an even bigger gathering.
Together, you and Larson realized that so many explosives could only be used for one purpose: Large scale demolition, and downtown Imperial City was ripe with targets fitting the bill. You rushed to the meeting place, spotting dozens of Destroyer and Crusader teams arriving with tons of high explosives. It was there that you took down Paingod, the Destroyer Big Dog who at the time you thought was the running the show.
Learning that Yin Corp was the target for all this ordnance, you moved in and disabled the primary explosives and prevented a disaster of historical proportions.
Reporting back to Larson you learned that the Destroyers were not very happy with you editing them out of the history books. They turned on their Crusader allies for a little payback, and in the process caught Luke Larson's informant, Tunnel Rat.
The Destroyers hadn't forgotten about you though, and after a game of kiss the pavement on the streets of Imperial City you learned that Paingod was the man who'd kidnapped Tunnel Rat.
Unsure how long she could last getting roughed up by the Destroyers, you rushed to the rescue, busting into a Fixadine Den in Logos and delivering a second beat down to Paingod, who had falsely assumed he was prepared for your arrival. Just as you were about to get Tunnel Rat out of danger the PPD decided to show up and do their jobs for once. The look of gratitude and bewilderment on Tunnel Rat's face when you rescued her will stay with you forever. That day she learned just as valuable lesson as the Crusaders: With enemies like the Destroyers, we all need friends.
