Rewarded As A Loyalist Deserves
The day started as usual. A rookie hero received a tip of an impending assault on the citizens, so he decided to intervene for fame and public adulation. However, defeating the bad guys and saving the day is slightly more complicated here in Praetoria.
Souvenir
A TPN Interview Recording
Your adventure started when you received a tip of an impending ambush on your fellow citizens. You jumped into action and rescued several PPD officers, who were most likely the main target of the assault. They told you that one of their comrades, Specialist Nishimura, was still missing. You hurried to rescue her, but suddenly the Syndicate intruded and took the captive away.
Later, you learned that the Resistance and the Syndicate worked together to abduct Specialist Nishimura. You confronted all those villains in their hideout, fight hordes of ambushes, and took them down. It was hard, but you successfully rescued the specialist.
Thanks to your success, your rating soared, and you have won public recognition. To top it off, the PPD will lend their resources to you in the future, thanks to one particular admirer in the police force!
To Rescue The Rescuer: Part 1
Mission Briefing
$name? Listen, a Resistance cell held a group of maintenance crews as hostages. There are several PPD officers in the tunnel, but they are no match for those terrorists. Could you intervene before the PPD deploys a full-scale attack on them? One of the hostages is my friend.
Mission Acceptance
Make sure you record your activities for our folks at TPN. Rescue them all and get out quickly!
Unnecessary Solicitation
Why are you still waiting? Go!

- Mr. Jenner (Syndicate Boss)
Clue: The Real Target
You coerced a Syndicate member to reveal the location where they are holding the Specialist for interrogation. You have a hunch that she is the real target instead of the technicians and the reporter.
Debriefing
Did you find their hideout? Excellent! Hurry up before they move her to another place!
To Rescue The Rescuer: Part 2
Mission Briefing
The underground hideout is only a few junctions away from you. The authorities will surely catch up with you to provide backup but don't rely on it. The syndicates are going to move the Specialist into a more secure area if you wait.
Mission Acceptance
The syndicates won't linger for long there. For your information, ghouls usually roam that part of tunnels. Be careful.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Every second count! Hurry up!
Mission Objective(s)
You hear a howl from far away. Well, at least ghouls are hunting somewhere else. That is one less problem for you.
- Rescue the last hostage
- Rescue Specialist Nishimura
- Arrest Ms. Mori
- Non-required Mission Objective(s)
- Help the Clockwork by cleaning up the rubbles yourself
Enemies
- Syndicate
- Resistance Clockwork
NPC
- Ms. Mori (Syndicate Boss)
Clue: Ms. Mori's confession
The syndicates believe that Specialist Nishimura abducted several of their high-ranking members under the pretense of law enforcement. She did this for years before they finally caught her.
Debriefing
Thanks for saving my friend,$name! He is at home right now, alive and well! Too bad Specialist Nishimura was not that lucky. If only we came earlier, we could save that poor woman.
However, I am still unsure about Ms. Mori's confession. She might be right, but it's hard for a low ranking cop to pull such trickery. How did she run a deception that was so cunning, it could avoid detection for years?
The Stronghold
Mission Briefing
$name, Ms. Mori sang like a bird, thanks to your rescue. Her confession revealed the extent of the syndicates' involvement. One of our perpetrators is a man called Mr. Durant, who oversees the kidnapping. The cops want him for questioning, but they require your assistance to breach their stronghold. Usually, they sent Specialist Nishimura to deal with syndicates' psychics. But, as you know, she is unavailable, so here is your chance. They will give you more detail, should you accept their request. Good luck, $name!
Mission Acceptance
Recently, there was a breach of PPD's confidential data. PPD managed to track the culprit's location: inside Mr. Durant's stronghold. Maybe that is where they hold Specialist Nishimura. We could still save her!
Anyway, I'll link you to their liaison.
Unnecessary Solicitation
So, how was the raid?
Mission Objective(s)
The raid goes without a hitch until you hear a commotion. The syndicates have set traps on their terminals, and it is your job now to clear them. Speak with Warrant Officer Decker for further instruction.
- Storm the Stronghold
- Speak with Warrant Officer Decker
- Check security terminal from traps.
- Arrest Mr. Durant.
- Non-required Mission Objective(s)
- Run maintenance check on the other terminals
Enemies
- Syndicate
NPC
- Warrant Officer Decker
- Mr. Durant
Clue: Mr. Durant's Memories
Right before you delivered the final blow, Mr. Durant had sent you part of his memories. He sent you strings of alphanumeric characters and several gruesome visions depicting experiments on human subjects. Was it a password? You also tried to keep those images out, but they kept coming back.
Debriefing
The liaison called me. Your action was so impressive that the PPD could apprehend Mr. Durant. They also found shreds of evidence that Specialist Nishimura is still alive. Alas, those criminals had moved her somewhere else while you were breaching their hideout.
I also heard Mr. Durant's allegation, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I think we will get to the bottom of this when we rescue Specialist Nishimura. Sadly, we still have no clue about her whereabouts.
Also, $name? Are you alright? You look so pale as if you have just seen a ghost!
The Rescue
Mission Briefing
$name! You won't believe this! Slapjack was on the TV! That mad man wants you in exchange for Specialist Nishimura. Of course, while he was beating and locking Ms. Nishimura in the stasis pod on air, he accidentally gave away his hideout. What an idiot! The cops have surrounded the warehouse. I am sure he won't get away this time.
Mission Acceptance
I am sure he has set up many ambushes. You probably have to fight both crusaders and destroyers at the same time. Prepare yourself, $name!
Unnecessary Solicitation
Don't forget to record your actions. Our folks at TPN would love your recordings!
Mission Objective(s)
Your target is Slapjack and his confidant, Aklys. You spot hordes of Destroyers and Crusaders inside this abandoned aircraft hangar.
Keep in mind that you may need to crack the pod open to rescue Ms. Nishimura. You may also call for reinforcement, but do not rely too much on it.

Clue: Incriminating Evidence
You found a report detailing a project where the Ministry of Science has abducted rogue Powers Division members and used them as lab rats. The project involves many members from several government branches. One of their agents is Specialist Nishimura.
Debriefing
What you have uncovered is a scandal, $name. I would never imagine someone from the Ministry abducts supers for experiments. I wonder if this operation also involves Praetor Berry. I heard too many rumors about him. Anyway, glad you made it out safely, so I don't need to cancel the TPN interview due to your premature death.
Loose Ends
Mission Briefing
Are you still in the detention facility? I am in Precinct 4. They need you here to make statements about these abduction cases. Yes, I am referring to the incident where Specialist Nishimura was the victim and several others where she was the perpetrator. Anyway, I smell something fishy about the abductions. How did a low ranking specialist pull this scam?
Bill goes silent for a few moments.
$name, bring your friends before going into the Precinct 4 office. Call me paranoid, but I -
Mission Acceptance
You have been disconnected
Unnecessary Solicitation
You can not reach Bill Burton
Mission Objective(s)
You arrived at Precinct 4's main office after you had turned over Athanasia to PPD custody. Suddenly, you notice that something seems amiss. Is that a gas canister behind the desk?
- Get Mr. Burton Out
- Check the desk
- Confront the PPD Officer
- Find Bill Burton
- Non-required Mission Objective(s)
- Confront Spc Nishimura
- Beat up everyone on your way out!
You pushed Bill out before someone pulled you back in. You fought back as hard as you could until your attackers finally overwhelmed you. You blacked out when a power gauntlet hit your face.
A few days later, you woke up inside a hospital.

Clue: Escape
The reinforcement is coming. GET OUT OF THERE as soon as possible!
Debriefing
How was your stay in the hospital? I was not lucky. Someone shot my head right after I had escaped the building. Nearby PPD officers fought off my attacker and rescued me. Otherwise, I would be dead by now.
The wound left my memory in scrambles. Luckily, the nurse from Cole Memorial helped me a lot to regain it. Specialist Nishimura also filled the gaps in my memory.
By the way, I assume The Resistance attacked us as retaliation for killing Slapjack. Thank Cole, we survived with only a slight memory loss. Still, there are a few silver linings. After Slapjack died, local resistance fragmented and lost most of its power. Also, you are a hero now, $name. Everyone will remember your deeds for many years to come.
What am I going to do now? I guess I will retire from this business. I am too old for this! Still, I will invite you sometime when I fully recover. See you later $name!
