Contact Introduces

I've got someone I think you should meet.

Doctor Arvin is a very smart man, too smart, smells nice, but nice smells linger. Going to get himself into trouble one day, very big trouble. Sticks his nose where it doesn't belong, can't smell trouble like I can - can't see trouble like I can either.

Good luck with Arvin. Try not to be around if he gets his nose chomped off by a chomper.

Information

Human Smuggler

Tunnel Rat has been given the task of helping get people out of Praetoria City. She spent most of her life living in the tunnels, giving her heightened vision in the dark and an incredible sense of smell.

Unfortunately, she must permanently wear a re-breather, due to all of the toxic fumes she has inhaled over the years.

Her time in the tunnels has made her an invaluable asset to the Resistance. Though she is one of the more... paranoid members, having seen many of her friends torn apart by ghouls.

Prior to Introduction

I don't know you, I don't know you! Get away! Get away getawaygetaway!

Initial Contact

The woman you see takes a long, deep breath within her mask before speaking.

Name's Tunnel Rat, good to meet you Character, heard all about you, all about you. Little information on me, very perceptive, always noticing things, all the time, every second of the day. Makes me a little nervous some -

!?!...!!...

It was nothing. Makes me a little nervous sometimes. You smell interesting, can't quite make it out. Are you here to help out or are you here to cause trouble? Hope it's not trouble for me, because I really hate it when that happens.

Oh, right, Robert Flores, cute guy, aims too high though, thinks he can impress Vetrano, nobody can impress Vetrano, she has standards that are way too high for her own good. You're here about getting that PPD guy out, right? I can help you, it's what I was given to do, and I do what I'm given to do, it's what makes me me, do you know what I mean?

Greeting

What? What was that? Did you hear that?

Too Busy

Not safe, not safe at all to leave tasks hanging around, too much on your plate, get them all done, then we'll finish this up.

Too Low Level

None

No More Missions

We're all done, finished, that's it. Staying away from high-profile tasks for a while, think I'll just work on smuggling rats, or something.

Souvenir

Spare Rebreather

Tunnel Rat gave you this spare rebreather device, saying that, 'we'll all need this when the toxins from the tunnels are up in the air'. It reminds you of the time you worked with her, an experience you call...

Getting Out Alive

It began when you learned that a PPD officer, one Paolo Marino, wanted help in getting his family out of Praetoria. You located his father, a respected doctor within the city, and 'kidnapped' him to get him into the hands of the Resistance.

You and Tunnel Rat discovered afterwards that Paolo's brother was in the Syndicate. You went to Syfotine Industries and destroyed the computer that tracks all members of the Syndicate, allowing Paolo's brother to freely make contact with the Resistance.

Complications arose though; you discovered in the Syndicate base that they had the location of every single person the Resistance ever helped out of the city! The Syndicate planned on using this information to blackmail the Resistance into doing whatever they wanted. Tunnel Rat also found out that Paolo Marino was put in charge by the PPD to track down all the people that the Resistance had taken out of the city.

You attacked the Syndicate and recovered the list, saving all those people currently in hiding. You were faced with a decision within that base after confronting Paolo Marino - leave him to his work in the PPD, or force him to be with his family, despite the risks.

Tunnel Rat, however, did not care at all about the choice you made - she was just happy that things were finally calm, saying that she wasn't one for all these complicated problems that came up.
