Mission:Letting Go - Part Two: The Four Powers Division

Part Two: The Four Powers Division

Briefing

Things are becoming grim, Character. Two more members of Powers Division were found dead. Unfortunate for them, but fortunate for us. The people of Imperial City are whispering about your safety, hoping you can bring this person to justice. I mentioned to someone that I was good friends with you. They told me to give you this.

Transmuter hands you a pin with your face on it. Above your face are the words, 'I Support Character!'.

You've garnered quite the amount of support in Imperial. It reminds me of how things were for me, back when we first put the sonic fencing up around Praetoria. I was there when Cole gave his speech about how the people of Praetoria did not need to be afraid anymore of the Hamidon. It received terrific applause. It was an amazing day, Character. I'm sure it'll be just as amazing as when you catch this murderer.

We've ruled out the Destroyers, which means right now it's either the Resistance or the Syndicate. Riptide and Aria are investigating the Resistance lead. In the meantime, I've managed to help arrange a little... trap to set for the Syndicate.

• What exactly is this trap?

The Syndicate are always after information. Aside from their guns, katanas, and psychic powers, it's their main source of power. There is a lab in Imperial City that they believe has very important information. They believe an insider of theirs will be planting the information for them to retrieve with a squad. However, that insider is dead, thanks to the work of Riptide. Now we can benefit from his knowledge.

Stern, Warrant, and Zane will accompany you for this task. You'll be able to set things up to spring a trap on the Syndicate to lure out a suspect in the murder, a woman named Marisa Delany. You'll be facing large numbers of Syndicate, so it may be a little unfair for them. Do you see the joke I did there, Character? I did them all the time when I fought along with Emperor Cole and Praetor White.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Is everything going according to plan?

Warrant, Stern and Zane Dialogue

At Entrance:

Stern: I'm ready for the fight. Let's get moving.

Zane: Let's show these Syndicate that they can't mess with the Powers Division

Warrant: The Syndicate won't know what hit them.

Warrant, Stern, and Zane Dialogue

Warrant: We'll have to make sure not to do too much damage to this lab.

Zane: Just do whatever it takes to get the job done, Warrant.

Halfway to Trap Room:

Stern: My systems indicate a high number of Syndicate are waiting for the signal.

Zane: Good, those thugs are a blight I'm waiting stomp on.

Ambush and Team Dialogues

You've set the trap, now to deal with the Syndicate!
Brawler Adept: We've got the signal, call in the others!
Stern: Brace yourselves!

---

Pistol Adept: We'll make the best of this situation by taking down these Power Division dogs!
Zane: Hah! Let 'em come at us!
Stern: Do not get cocky, Zane.

---

Resistance Fighter: Ohhh we're gonna SLAM some puckerfaces with these suits!
Warrant: Hang in here, everyone, we mustn't fall!
Stern: It looks like we've really got their attention.
Zane: Show some feeling, Stern, we're living right now!

---

Heavy Hands: These primmed suits ain't knowing how to properly slam a goldie boy!
Warrant: Zane, do not get too ahead of yourself!
Zane: You're getting soft, Warrant, I'm not dying like the others!

---

Sword Adept: Dogs of Cole, die!
Zane: The one good thing about this - no Reese here ordering us around!
Stern: We appear to be wearing them down!
Warrant: Don't let your guard down, we're going to find this murderer!

---

Sword Master: This matter requires a more defined edge to handle.
Zane: Hmph. Too bad Aria and Riptide are missing out on this brawl!
Warrant: I believe they would be too busy arguing with each other to notice the fight.

---

Stern: I've got a reading on our target. She's getting near.
Zane: Finally! I'm getting bored tossing these wimps around!

---

Resistance Fighter: Pile it on the sheepies!
Warrant: Zane, what is it that Reese would've been doing at this point?
Zane: Probably lecturing us about how we're all lower than him. You have no idea how happy I am that he's out of the picture.

---

Pistol Adept: You cannot withstand the true might of the Syndicate! And, perhaps, those Resistance pigs.
Resistance Officer: Get these guys SCAMPED already!
Pistol Adept: Call off the others, we've wasted too much manpower on this!

---

If Defeated:

Stern: My apologies, but I must retreat!

Warrant: I wish I could be of more help, but I must retreat!

Zane: No! Not like this, I won't lose here!

Marisa Delany Dialogue

Before Combat:

Marisa Delany: Hrm. A trap... But why? Perhaps the Powers Division have become concerned about that kiler...

Combat Start:

Marisa Delany: Ah, so, out for me, are you? We'll see how far that will get you.

Upon Defeat:

Warrant: Hrm... very interesting developments here...

Zane: That wasn't too hard, these guys barely made me sweat!

Stern: We did good today. The Syndicate have been thwarted.

	Delany's Story
	You defeated Marisa Delany, only to discover that she was not the murderer - of Powers Division, that is. You looked through her possessions to see that at the times of the murderers she was in Nova Praetoria on missions to assasinate various heads of the PPD.

Debriefing

It's too bad about Marisa, Character. Well, in terms of the investigation. The PPD were trying to track her all this time; of course, it just took one simple operation from Powers Division to bring her in. I think it's fairly telling. You know, when the PPD were first founded, I expressed concern that they would not be able to match the sheer power that we all had. Sure enough, my concerns were founded.

Riptide and Aria brought us some possible news. There is a known member of the Resistance here in Imperial right now. She goes by the name of Ricochet. She may be one of the killers, but we can't be sure.
