I've got someone I think you should meet.

You've done a lot of hard cuttin' for us down here, Character, Splicey-gal's been chatterin' 'bout'cha. Says she's got somethin' real big she wants to jaw with you about.

Yeah, I think you're gonna be smooth sailin' down the coast with Splicey.

Information

Resistance freedom fighter

From her broad smile and the splash of crazy in her eyes, to her dizzying speech pattern and signature pink PPD helmet, everything about Ricochet is memorable. She earned her name like most of the others do in the Crusaders: by how she got her first kill. In Ricochet's case, rumor has it, she let off a blind shot during her first engagement which ricocheted off of a PPD power field and ruptured a high pressure fuel tank. The resulting explosion took out the entire PPD squad, saving the lives of her comrades.

The other story is that the bullet ricocheted into her head.

Oh we got ourselves some stuff on the drawin' board here! Say, what's your tag sign anyway, chomperoonie?
  • I'm Character.
Alright, Character! So I'm gonna call ya Chomperuskie / Chomperella for a bit, prolly just for the next few taps of the foot, 'cause I ain't got time to be layin' down on one beach, you know what I'm sayin'?
Get yourself all homey here and let me know when you're all set for the dive, 'cause we're gonna go swimmin' in some deep buildings pretty soon.
  • I'm ready now.
  • Okay... I think...

Greeting

Hey there, slammer! I just love Nova Praetoria, don't you? And that Emperor Cole guy is sooooo dreamy!

Too Busy

You gotta give all of your tasks a 20-50, you know? When you got them all done, shoot back my way. I could use your help, slammer!

Too Low Level

None

No More Missions

Looks like we've managed to give Tyrant a tasty cup of punch, if you know what I'm saying. For now, we wait and see how he and his goldilocks are going to react. I'll let you know if I need any more of your help.

Resistance Dictionary

You have a small dictionary of Resistance words, each of their definitions more like guesses to what they mean. It reminds you of your first encounter with the Ricochet of the Resistance in an experience called...

Justifying the Means

It began with a confusing talk with Ricochet, who apparently told you to go plant some fake bombs in Nova Praetoria. Jack Hammer explained to you the plan - you were going to plant some poison bombs in Nova, while another member of the Resistance, Rothstein, was captured. A tracker would be planted on Rothstein to see where he and the bombs would be brought. Once all that was done, you would attack the location, activate the bombs, and walk away without anything pointing towards you.

After setting the bombs in Nova, you helped out Team Bravo per Ricochet's request - they were recovering information for a woman named Splice. You helped the team and found out they were looking for Marauder's...day planner.

Ricochet's next request was to destroy a warehouse full of Clockwork - they would be used to quickly siphon any poison that might be released into the PPD lab you would be attacking. The job was easy enough to perform, setting up the final stage of the plan.

You casually walked into the PPD lab, with the officials there none the wiser. With your gas mask in hand, you activated the poison gas and watched as all the members of the PPD collapsed around you.

Ricochet was thrilled when you returned to her, saying that this was just the first step of many towards bringing down the PPD. At least, that's what you think she said.
