Information

Resistance Fighter

Roadflare volunteered to serve in First Ward, where his unique blend of charisma and crazy would do well to recruit combatants for the Resistance. He's liked by a lot of the Last Worders because he stands up for them against the Dregs and D.U.S.T. He's best known for his catchy 'hate anthems', which are popular amongst First Ward's denizens due to their anti-Cole nature.

Initial Contact

Hey there slammer-man, get your wisdom from a can, hear me clap, slap your clothes, everybody knows.

The name's Roadflare, chomper. I've got the singsongs for your canals and the treats for your feets. All I desire is to light a fire, and burn that black hearted Cole to warm all the sheeple. Then, they can drop their wool and live free.

Ha ha! But we're gonna need a lot of feet to fill those shoes, hear what I'm clappin'?

Greeting

  • I've got my slickers if you've got the sand, crumbcake
  • I'm lookin' forward to some crunchy groove salad, chomper.

Too Busy

Too much honey, busy bee. You're gonna drown in all that glory. Stir it, don't shake it. Once you've achieved the calm, then come rattle at me. I got a lot to chomp and can't afford to choke 'cause my teeth ain't done with their chewin'. Can you clap it?

Missions

Clockwork Still Work

Briefing

Wrap your presents and count your angels, Character. Looker-finders have rolled the dice and come up overtime on this one! Clockwork, to be specific. Seems ol' Hami-dam-a-ding-dong didn't put the lights out in every little shop of horrors here in the stewpot. Found ourselves a tick-tock factory, and what's more, it's still got the juice!

  • You found an operational Clockwork manufacturing facility?

Mission Acceptance

Sure did. I want you to be slammer number one and go punch card your way through there, take care of any clockies that go cuckoo. Don't worry about the smashin', Splice can put 'em on the mend, you know what I'm jawin'?

Unnecessary Solicitation

The sooner we get clocks, the faster we can buff out the battle damage and turn 'em into walking tick-tocks. See what I'm jawin'?

Mission Objective(s)

You get the feeling that you are being watched...

  • Clear out Clockwork in the manufacturing facility
    • Clear out the facility
    • 8 Overloaded power cores to disarm!

You've cleared the facility of clockwork... crazy possessed clockwork...

D.U.S.T. Is Babysitting

Briefing

I got the five-digits on some dust-bunnies off in the frequent fire zone that're hand-holding some cabbage heads until Mother May-I pays them a look see. I want the wait parade to get a visit by my favorite slammer and make sure Mother's little dolls go ragged.

  • Slam the Awakened that D.U.S.T. is guarding.

Mission Acceptance

Them chompers think they can slam, but beneath that concrete scowl they're just pudding and jelly. Slam the mindjobs and let Mother discipline her graybacks.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Who knows when Mother dearest will show up to the play. You best rewrite the script before its curtains, pigtails.

Mission Objective(s)

The door into this underground facility was hidden behind an old vending machine in the abandoned building above.

  • Defeat the Awakened guarded by D.U.S.T.
    • 5 Awakened and bodyguards to defeat

You eliminated the Awakened that were in D.U.S.T. custody before they could be delivered back to Praetor Tilman.

Combat Start:

Subjugator: I sense a fresh mind.
D.U.S.T. Leader: Bloodhound Five to Actual.
D.U.S.T. Leader: Bloodhound Five to Actual, do you read?

Before Combat:

D.U.S.T. Leader: Survive what?
D.U.S.T. Leader: Intruder!

Before Combat:

D.U.S.T. Leader: No need to be shy, sweetheart...
D.U.S.T. Leader: Your psychic crap won't work on me, darling.

Combat Start:

D.U.S.T. Leader: Who the hell?!
Conduit: They're here to kill me.
Conduit: Guess we work together.

Before Combat:

Conduit: You think just because your minds are shielded you are safe?

Combat Start:

Conduit: Threaten her and see how far it gets you.
D.U.S.T. Leader: Bloodhound Actual!
D.U.S.T. Leader: We've got rogue Powers Division!

Before Combat:

Subjugator: ...your mind will be mine!
D.U.S.T. Leader: Good luck with that, ugly.
D.U.S.T. Leader: Now simmer down, trouble's comin'.

Combat Start:

Subjugator: We're both going to die today...
Subjugator: I'm ready... Are you?
D.U.S.T. Leader: I was born ready!
