Part One: A Day in the Life of Mr. G

Briefing

Do you know how Cole and his group work with information, Character? I'll tell you how.

They try to make us forget what happened by changing what's written in history. Nothing major, of course. There's no 'Then Cole made Earth, and it was good'. But it's the small things that begin to add up. My father took part in the Hamidon Wars. He was part of a group of civilians who banded together to fight off the monsters of the Devouring Earth.

But he didn't support Cole. And now? He and his group aren't mentioned anywhere - just wiped away from history. Imagine, twenty years from now, people will think it was just Cole and Praetor White who helped clean things up.

My point in all this is that we need to take back control over information, you know? The first thing we need to do is see what they see - which means hacking into the cameras that oversee Nova.

  • And how are we going to do that without being caught?

Good question!

That's why you need to help me with it. After all, you're a 'fine, upstanding member of Powers Division'. Me, if I did it as a normal citizen, I'd never be seen again. You, though, if people come up and start asking questions, you can just say you were using the cameras to find traitors!

Here in Praetoria, you're almost invincible if you claim your actions are to hunt down traitors. It's a good thing to know, don't you think?

The cameras are all around the city - hack into one of 'em and let me know if you find any interesting information.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Remember, you're doing this to find traitors - no one will try to question you with that.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Hack a camera in Nova Praetoria

You've hacked all the cameras and found out some information!

Camera Footage
You look over the information you found from all three cameras to see the following string of events:

A man in a suit, meeting with a non-descript PPD official. The PPD official gives the man a folder, then walks away. There are some words on the folder - you can only make out one of them - 'Polstra'.

Praetor Duncan walks up to speak with the man. You increase the volume to overhear her calling the man, 'Mr. G'. The two speak for a few minutes, Praetor Duncan appearing angry before walking off. Mr. G looks directly into the camera and smiles before getting into his black-windowed car.

The black-windowed car pulls up to a street corner, where a man from the Ministry of Information awaits. The man from the ministry enters the car. Fifteen minutes later he exits with the folder in hand. You're able to now make out the name on the folder: 'Eddie Polstra'.

Debriefing

Amazing job, Character. With these cameras working for us, we can dig through a lot more information about Emperor Cole's lies.

You said you found some interesting information on there?

Mr. G? Oh man, that guy is all kinds of bad news, at least that's what my sister says. He deals in all sorts of conspiracies in Praetoria.

So what was he dealing with this time? The Ministry of Information and some guy named Eddie Polstra? Huh... that's weird, even for him. Why would he be dealing with something like that? There must be more to this Polstra guy than meets the eye.

I think we've got ourselves a little mystery to solve.

Listen, here's my number. You need anything, just give me a call. And don't worry, Splice makes sure all our phones are secure.
