I've got someone I think you should meet.
Jack Hammer is an unofficial leader of our little group down here. He's a little hooked on Fixadine but it's what makes him the kinda guy that we all follow into battle. Well, everyone else, that is.
Make sure you don't stiff Jack Hammer on any crush, it could lead to some trouble.
Information
Hacker and Technophile
A reclusive technophile, Splice's skill with a soldering iron has saved more lives than almost anyone else in the Resistance. She invented 'blueboxes', cheap home-made devices that allow the Resistance to send and receive messages over Praetoria City's power lines, known lovingly as 'The Static'. She's also pioneered a technique to allow cellular phones to function off the grid, a feat she boasts to have figured out in only five minutes flat.
Currently she's working on reprogramming captured clockwork androids. Of course, since the things pack dangerous weaponry the specimens her allies bring in for her are usually less than functional.
Prior to Introduction
Not sure who you are, slappy, don't really got a mind to find out. Oh, don't take it personally, I just don't like most people. Well, all people.
Wrong Alignment
Go away. I don't have time for you.
Initial Contact
The name's Splice, I do the tinkerin' down here under the lion's den. I guess we're cuttin' together now. That's cool. Just so you know, nothing against you or anythin', but I hate people. Just a rule of mine, don't be put off by it.
Greeting
...someone stepped on my recorder. This is why I hate people.
Let's not talk long. I hate dealing with people.
If only we had more robots in the Resistance...
Too Busy
Word on the wire is that you're meltin' insulation, slammer. Handle your business, take care of some tasks, and lower your signature a little, then we can get back to blasting static.
Too Low Level
None
No More Missions
You cut data pretty good for a slammer. I'm all out of fresh juice for The Static, but bounce with me later and I might have something we can cut on.

TPN Clockwork Report
You watched a report on TPN about an event that was dubbed, 'The Clockwork Massacre'. It showed clips of the attack, along with images of Praetor White and Emperor Cole arriving towards the end to clean things up. The report tried to put a spin on the whole matter, saying that it was clearly, 'Resistance trying to scare us', but you can know the people of Nova Praetoria aren't going to be looking at Clockwork the same ever again. You think about how it all began, in an experience called...
Insert Paranoia Here
You began working with Splice, a woman who was as anti-social as she was brilliant with technology. You went down into the tunnels of Praetoria to save a messenger who had information from the Static. Splice explained he carried an important piece of information for a plan of hers - to create a massive amount of chaos within Nova by hacking the Clockwork and causing them to attack the citizens around them.
You returned to Splice with the messenger alive and the information he retrieved - it was just what she needed to finish her device. She asked that you test a small version of the device in the CMF. When you entered the CMF, all the Clockwork there went haywire and attacked you, all according to the plan.
Splice had members of the Resistance set up the devices in the Magisterium and explained that she had arranged for Praetor Duncan and Praetor White to not be in the Magisterium at that time. As well, the PPD would be busy chasing after a false lead regarding the location of Calvin Scott. All you and Splice had to do was sit back and watch the carnage from a small device she had.
Unfortunately, as with most things that have, 'all you had to do' preceding it, something went wrong. Rogue Clockwork disabled Splice's self-destruct mechanism, meaning you had to go topside and handle the situation yourself. Which wasn't a problem for someone like yourself.
With that damage done, the people's confidence in Cole's regime - or at least in the Clockwork - has been shaken. Soon enough it will shatter and fall!
