This Seer appears to have disconnected from the Seer Network.

Don't... trust...

Initial Contact

The Seer standing before you is different than the others. She's lacking her mask. A glazed look is in her eyes but you can clearly see a bead of sweat rolling from her forehead down her cheek. She appears to be concentrating intensely on something.

And then suddenly she looks directly at you with wide, pleading eyes.

Seer 0001's Mask

You picked this mask up off the ground after defeating Seer 0001. Sometimes you think about it and then catch yourself imagining what the face of a nearby Seer looks like under her mask. Are her eyes open, or closed? Is she in a waking dream, or more like sleep walking? It reminds you of when you met Katie Douglas, a Seer who had awoken from a fifteen year dream and realized:

You Can't Go Home

When you first met the woman known as Seer 1381 she had removed her mask and was concentrating desperately just to remain conscious. The woman begged you to help release her from the Seer Network and directed you to the facility of her signal's origin. When you returned the woman was very confused at how old she was, and had no idea who or where she was. She kept rambling on and on about a lady in her dream.

With only her Seer numerical designation to work with, you agreed to search the PPD archives for information about her. You learned that the woman's name was Catherine Douglas, and she was thirty years old. She had been a Seer for the last fifteen years of her life. Of her family you could only find that her father, Henry Douglas, was listed as an inmate at the B.A.F. for the last fifteen years as well.

Catherine, or Katie as she prefered to be called, used her psychic powers to teleport you into the B.A.F. where you rescued her father and escaped in the nick of time. Reunited with her father, Katie learned that he had not seen nor heard from her mother these past fifteen years, but he had never given up hope.

Katie, it seemed, was becoming more and more cognizant of her psychic abilities, and after some thought she realized that her mother must also be in the Seer Network. Her powers of insight discovered that her mother's location had been known to her the entire time. The lady in her dream was her mother, and had helped her leave the Network. She had also given her a clue as to where she was being held and Katie again teleported you to the location, only this time she came with you.

But what Katie was not prepared for was that her mother did not call to her for help, instead she was trying to warn Katie away. This became apparent when Katie's mother, Seer 0001 attacked you both and had no recognition that Katie was her daughter. After defeating her, Katie received a final thought from her mother, explaining that her last act of self was to free her daughter from the Network so she could live life. Katie took the message to heart repeating her mother's words: Survival is not the same as living. With what precious time that is fated you I would see that you live free rather than survive caged.

Part One: I Dared To Dream

Please... I need your help...

This Seer has somehow removed her visor and you can tell she is spending a considerable amount of willpower to talk to you.

I have seen... The thoughts of others. You are a good person in their eyes... and so that is why I ask you... to help me. Character, please, I need you to help me.

Help Seer 1381

I'm, I'm trapped. But if I concentrate, as I am now, then I can see what's trapping me... it's some sort of signal, in my head.

No... it's nearby. Somewhere in Four Gables... underground, very clean. Past the guards, there are some big glass tubes with numbers on them. My number... it's 1... 3... 8... 1. Turn it off. Please, before... before it pulls me back in.

Those Loyalists who are truly loyal to the safety and peace of Praetoria would do well to speak with Provost Marchand about events that are happening.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Taking... every... bit... of my strength... Hurry!

Mission Objective(s)

The facility isn't heavily guarded. That means there's probably an alarm.

  • Release Seer 1381 from the Network
    • Release Seer 1381 from the Network, 2 Minutes Before PPD Arrive!
  • Find Mission Exit

You deactivated Seer 1381's stasis chamber, thus enabling her to finally free herself from the Seer Network.

Debriefing

I... I'm old... How did I get so old?

This woman doesn't appear to be a year over thirty.

Where is she? Where is the woman who showed me the door? The door out of my dreams?

Character, I have touched the minds of so many people during my time as a Seer, but I could never get to really know them. I'm glad that we met, because I consider you to be my first, and best friend. If you ever want to talk just think of talking to me and I'll contact you telepathically. Pretty cool, huh?

Part Two: Half Life

Character... What... What year is it? I'm so confused, how long have I been in that horrible dream?

Answer her questions as best you can.

I... I'm thirty years old!?

But... No... I... Where's my family? Where's my dad!? Why didn't he come find me?

Character, please, help me find my family, somebody, anyone who knows who I am. I'm so scared.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Have you found out who I am, Character? Have you found out what happened to my parents?

Mission Objective(s)

Your arrival at the PPD Precinct is hardly even noticed, one officer even holds the door open for you as you enter.

  • Search PPD Archives
    • Search PPD Records
    • Find mission exit

You discovered Seer 1381's real name, and the whereabouts of her father.


Enemies

Praetorian Police Department


Notable NPCs


Ambush!

After finding the clue you will be ambushed by a squad of Praetorian Police lead by Sergeant Collins. In addition, all of the PPD in the building will turn hostile.


Clue
Catherine Douglas - Seer 1381

You searched the PPD archives for Seer 1381 and found a reference to a file listing out her record as a Seer. According to the record she was inducted into the Seer Program at the age of 15. She's been a Seer half her life, her entire adulthood has been spent locked in her own mind.

You search for Catherine's family. There is no record of a mother, but you do find that her father, Henry Robert Douglas, was arrested 15 years ago and was sent to the Behavioral Adjustment Facility. As far as you can tell by the records, he never left.


Debriefing

That's right! Katie! Everyone called me Katie! It's been so long since someone said my name I forgot what it was... That's weird, huh?

So, you said you found out where my dad is?

Character, you've changed my life forever. For that, I can never repay you, but I will always be in your debt. If I can do anything to aid you, let me know and I'll do my best.

Part Three: Throw Away The Key

My father is in jail? Why? What did he do? What did I do!?

This is not FAIR! I didn't do anything wrong!

Why is this happening to me? I just want to see my dad.

Rescue Katie's dad

What? You can't do that... Can you?

You're gonna bust my dad out of jail?

For the first time you see Katie Douglas smile. She starts to cry and hides her face in embarrassment.

Thank you, Character. I bet I look pathetic... a thirty year old woman crying about her dad...

Briefing

I've been recalling a lot of the training they uploaded into me, and I'm pretty sure I can teleport you. I know, crazy, huh?

All I need is to know where I'm sending you and I should be able to just, I dunno, put you there in a blink of an eye.

Alright, trust me Character, ok? If you don't trust me I'm gonna know and then I'll get nervous and I might screw this up.

Alright, now, picture the BAF clearly in your mind and I'll teleport you there.

Do you have it? ...is that it? Are you ready?

Are you sure about this? You've NEVER done this before.

You wuss! Come on.

Don't be afraid, you'll be perfectly safe, I promise!

Alright, fine, let's do this (Enter Mission)

Mission Objective(s)

She did it! Katie teleported you directly into the BAF... Maybe she does know what she's doing.

  • Rescue Henry Douglas from the BAF
    • Escape with Henry Douglas!

You rescued Katie Douglas' father from the BAF. The PPD were closing in on you and Henry Douglas from all directions. You were starting to wonder if Katie really could teleport you back and then, you were standing in front of her. Henry immediately realized that the Seer standing before him was his daughter, Catherine, and the two had a tear filled reunion. They have a lot of catching up to do.


Enemies

Praetorian Police Department


Notable NPCs

  • BAF Prisoner x3 (NPCs)
This pitiful soul has been imprisoned for Cole-knows how long in the Behavioural Adjustment Facility
  • Henry Douglas (NPC)
Henry Douglas has been contained in the BAF for the last 15 years. He is a shell of a man, but perhaps a spark of hope yet remains in him.



Debriefing

Katie smiles at you and then grimaces, squeezing her eyes shut tight. She pushes her fingertips against the bridge of her nose and exhales sharply.

Ow! Ow ow ow! Massive headache...

Ok... I'm ok, it's over. Whew. That - was - intense.

I think the teleporting did it, man, I need to be really careful with my powers, that hurt bad.

Finale

Dad's ok, Character, but he said they took mom and me fifteen years ago and this is the first he's seen or heard from either of us since.

Character... I... I know where my mom is. At least, I think I do. I need you to help me find her.

Help Katie find her mom

While you were in the B.A.F. I was thinking, a lot. Remember that lady in my dream, Character? The one who opened the door for me to leave? And I was talking about her after you freed me?

That was her. That was my mom. I couldn't see her, but now I know for sure that it was her. And I think I know where she is.

Don't you see, Character? If I'm psychic, and my dad isn't, then that means my mom must be psychic. She's a Seer, like I am. Now I just need to find her.

Let's see, she was contacting me in my dream. She woke me up. She showed me the door out...

That's the key, Character, the door! When the door in my dream closed, she was on the other side! She wasn't showing me just the way out, she was showing me where she was!

I know where to find her!

Briefing

Ready to get teleported again?

Are you sure you're okay?

I'm fine now, I'm okay.

Alright, let's go (Enter Mission)

Mission Objective(s)

This facility is massive.

  • Help Katie find her mom
    • Find Katie's Mother

You learned that Katie Douglas' mother, Alice Douglas, was Seer 0001, the first Seer.

Enemies

  • Praetorian Police
  • Seers
  • Seer 0001 (Seers Elite Boss)
Seer 0001 is the first Seer created to defend Praetoria city. She is also Katie Douglas' mother.

Notable NPCs

  • Katie Douglas (Seers Lieutenant, Ally)
Katie Douglas, aka Seer 1381, has broken free of the Seer Network. She is now on a race against time to save her family before time runs out for her.

Ambush! Seer 0001 will call numerous allies to her aid during combat, and will vanish while she does this.

Attack...
Withdraw...
Restrain subjects.

Debriefing

Character... It's ok. I'm alright.

My mom... she... she was already gone. She was gone a long time ago. I understand that now.

Her last act of love was to free me from the Network. But I misinterpreted it as a call for help. She didn't close that door in my dream to show me where she was, she did it to try and keep me away.

Katie grimaces and puts a hand to her forehead

Before she left she told me, 'Survival is not the same as living. With what precious time that is fated you I would see that you live free rather than survive caged.'

Mind Freedom

Template:MeritAward

Souvenir

Seer 1381's Mask

Katie Douglas no longer needed her Seer mask where she was headed. So you picked it up as a memento to remind yourself that those who are free don't seem to:

Mind Freedom

Katie Douglas had been a Seer for half of her life. She had vowed to free the other Seers so that they would no longer be slaves to the people of Praetoria. It was at the Seer Subnet Facility where you were faced with a choice: Let Katie release the Seers from the Network but in the process cripple the PPD, giving the Syndicate and Destroyers free reign over the city, or stop Katie Douglas and keep the city safe, but validate the idea that just because you are born different it is okay to be enslaved.

Freedom for All

Editor's Note:

This is a Moral Choice mission, and must be played single-player. The player chooses whether to aid the Resistance or the Loyalists.


My mother was trying to tell me that time is precious, and that we never know when it's going to run out or be taken from us.

Character, I sacrificed half my life just because I was born different from other people. Every Seer in this city is forced to do the same. Help me put an end to this madness!

Help Katie Douglas

There's a Seer subnet facility not far from here. I'll teleport us there when you are ready.

Nobody should have to suffer for the benefit of others.

Those Loyalists who are truly loyal to the safety and peace of Praetoria would do well to speak with Provost Marchand about events that are happening.

Briefing

My mother wanted me to be free, Character, but why should I be the only one? I'm going to free the others, let them live their lives how they see fit.

Let's go!

Mission Objective(s)

This facility resonates psychic power. If they didn't see you coming before, they certainly are aware of you now.

  • Deactivate Seer Subnet (Single Player)

Thanks, Character. I don't know what the world would do without you.

Enemies

  • Seers

Notable NPCs

  • Seer 1381
A choice: Free the Seers or aid the Loyalists?
These women...they're all like me. Living mindlessly, not knowing their former lives...
They deserve a real life, Varasin. One where they have a choice.
This is our chance give back the life that Praetor Tilman stole from us!

Moral Choice

Players are presented with a moral choice: to aid the Resistance or go over to the Loyalists. As the story of Praetoria unfolds your character will have opportunities to change their mind and switch sides.

  • Free the Seers. Help free the Seers. Aid the Resistance. Katie Douglas wants you to help her free the Seers from their stasis chambers. Once freed the the Resistance will ensure that they can live their own lives, or help in the fight against Tyrant. You'll need to deactivate the Network computers and then ensure they stay off!
  • Stop Katie Douglas. Stop Katie from shutting down the Network. Aid the Loyalists. Katie Douglas is no longer part of the Seer Network, but these other Seers are. Removing these Seers from the Network would leave the PPD blind and extremely vulnerable. In their absence the Destroyers and Syndicate could wreck untold havoc on the city, endangering many lives.
Aid the Resistance

Mission Objective(s)

  • Deactivate Seer Subnet
    • 3 Control Consoles to Disable
    • 1 T.E.S.T Teams Left

Enemies

  • Paragon Police

(Unnamed Voice) Every single Seer in this lab is using their powers to protect the citizens of Praetoria... From thwarting plots by the Destroyers to blow up skyscrapers... ...to saving children from being caught in the middle of Syndicate firefights. Is it truly the right thing to free them, and subject the rest of Praetoria to that chaos?

Seer 1381: You need to disable the control consoles in this lab, then the other Seers will be freed!

You begin to deactivate the control console. You've disabled the device!

Seer 1381: Thanks, Character. I don't know what the world would do without you.

Aid the Loyalists

Mission Objective(s)

  • Defeat Seer 1381
    • Speak with Praetor Tilman

Enemies

  • Seer 1381
  • Resistance
Briefing

Character. Don't you recognize me? I am Mother, or, if you prefer, Praetor Tilman is fine.

I'm afraid our conversation cannot be more pleasant given the circumstances, but I see you've handled the nasty little issue with one of my dear daughters here. Really, I must apologize for the mess she pulled you into. I think we can both agree that my little Seers can be such troublemakers when they aren't properly supervised.

Let it be no more bother to you, Character, Mother is here, so you won't need to deal with this any further. I'll make sure my girl is kept in line and made to understand the importance of doing as she is told. As for you, I'll make sure you are well rewarded.

(Players have multiple choices in this dialogue, one such is shown here)

Anything to serve the empire, Mother.

Such a good, loyal man! It's inspiring. But you really shouldn't be bothered with the petty antics of my little girls. I'll... clean up the mess around here and remind my daughters, again, that it isn't nice to waste other people's time.

You've received a message from Provost Marchand. He wishes to speak to you about further opportunities within the Loyalists.
You can call up Provost Marchand by opening your Contacts window and clicking on the Call button to the right of his portrait.
