Information

Secretary

Tami Baker is the personal secretary to Justin Sinclair, though she has been known to enforce his will when necessary. She has worked together many times with Mr. G in order to ensure the safety and prosperity of Imperial City.

Prior to Introduction

I'm looking through Praetor Sinclair's appointment calendar, and I don't see your name in here anywhere, Character. I'm sorry, but neither I or Mr. Sinclair can see you at this time.

Wrong Alignment

I don't have time to be speaking with you right now, Character. Mr. Sinclair has had several emergencies crop up.

Initial Contact

I'm Tami Baker, and I take care of all of Mr. Sinclair's important scheduling needs. He's not just a busy man, but a very important one, too! Very important. I've been asked by Justin to act as a - um, I mean Mr. Sinclair. Um, what was I saying? Oh yeah! To act as a conduit, is what he said. I, um, totally help out Sinclair when he has, what're the words, other matters to attend to.

Just to let you know, I'm acting under full authority of the Praetor. Full authority. So don't treat me like some bimbo who doesn't know what I'm talking about, you got that?

I know all about you Character, all about you, this 'non-bimbo' is fully in with regards to what's going on here in the big Imperial City, totally fully in. So what's say you and I get started! We're totally going to make some news in this place.

Greeting

• Um... oh! Hello, Character!
• I'm really excited for us to expand our opportunities here in Imperial City!

Too Busy

Mr. Sinclair has given me another memo of things he needs you to do. You'll need to clear your calendar of all other appointments before I can book you.

Too Low Level

Souvenir

TPN's Greatest Hits

John Houston from TPN sent you this 'greatest hits' video. The video is a recording of your best moments fighting off the Destroyer horde in front of the TPN building. It reminds you of an experience you call...

Destroying the Destroyers

It started when Tami Baker made you an offer; a method to wipe out the Destroyers and gain fame and fortune within Imperial City while doing so. You first went to an office they were raiding and found information there that detailed Praetor White's connection with the Destroyers. It turned out that many of the older Destroyers were part of Praetor White's old gang. You also found out that Praetor White was supporting their drug addiction in Nova Praetoria.

You spoke with Praetor White regarding matters; he struck a deal with you to give you the location of the main lab to destroy if you agreed to keep quiet about everything that happened. He promised that he would let everyone know that you were the one who put down the Destroyers within Nova Praetoria. You agreed and did the job quickly enough, but there were still more questions. Who was leading the main group of Destroyers?

You found this out in the next lab that you destroyed. It was all Praetor Duncan, right from the start. She supplied Praetor White's former gang members with the Fixadine as a small game of hers. This game grew much larger than she expected; instead of throwing them all away, Duncan decided to have fun with them, putting them to the test.

Tami Baker formed a plan to announce this over TPN, making you into an even bigger start in Imperial City, while putting down Praetor Duncan. Duncan, anticipating this, sent a horde of Destroyers to try to tear apart TPN. You fought off the entire horde in the TPN campus while John Houston had your fight recorded for all of Praetoria to see.

The day was saved, you gained fame and glory in Imperial, but Praetor Duncan was able to worm her way out of all responsibility. When push came to shove, Praetor Keyes stepped up and took the blame for Duncan, most likely due to his infatuation with her. Despite that, you still were able to win in the end; the people of Imperial now look at you as a savior and any door that was closed to you is now wide open. All in a day's work for the 'hero of Imperial City'.

Part One: Skeletons

Briefing

So, um, you remember all that stuff with the Destroyers? They've been acting kinda weird lately. Like they've got a direction of a kind, definitely a direction. Usually they just smash random things up, but now they're much more direct. Um, weird thing too, is that after you took down Reese, we caught a bunch of the Destroyers making a line for one of the tech facilities here in Imperial. This place, it's like, one of those places that stores a lot of information, you know? Mr. G and Praetor Sinclair always tell me how the best kept secrets are in there.

So! Here's my proposal, Character! We can stop those Destroyers, and by we I mean you, and get to the bottom of who exactly is giving them this direction. I've got a feeling that this person is the Destroyers' true leader.

• Taking them down would mean eliminating all the Destroyers.

That's right! Can you imagine that? People would never forget you for that! Sure, taking down a few Destroyers is good, people like that. Sure, they like that. But being able to say, 'I put an end to the Destroyers'? Wow! That would be something else entirely! Up there with Praetor Sinclair and even Emperor Cole! Why, you could do whatever you want at that point, whatever you want! I'm getting a little excited, but that's just because of this opportunity.

Here's the location of the lab. This is going to be big, Character, very big!

Praetor White and the Destroyers

You found a file that had a label 'CONFIDENTIAL' on it. You open it up and read through it...

Praetor Michael White and the Destroyers

We have records to believe that Praetor White is secretly funding a group of Destroyers within Nova Praetoria with Fixadine. An interesting note is that Praetor White was not the one to originally give them the Fixadine that drives them into a rage; he is simply using the drug to maintain a constant state of competition between the PPD and Powers Division, believing that it will make all of Praetoria stronger.

We have strong reason to believe that many of older Destroyers were actually part of Praetor White's former gang. These were the men that fought alongside him during the Hamidon Wars. Afterwards, they were cast aside by White, who joined Cole's guard.

This information is highly confidential and should not be released to the public.

Debriefing

What did you find, Character?

...

Wow! This is shocking! I never would've guessed that the Destroyers were part of Praetor White's old gang. This makes total sense! Well, um, sort of. One part seems weird. he's not giving them the Fixadine! Er, well, he is, but he didn't give it to them originally. What do you think that means? And does this whole thing mean that Praetor White is the one directing the Destroyers here in Imperial?

This is all getting really intense, Character! Here, take my cellphone number, you can contact me at any time with this, any time.

Part Two: Finishing What He Started

Briefing

So, um, I know this could be a bit risky to suggest this, but you might want to go bring this information to Praetor White. I kind of get the feeling that, um, well, he's not the one behind all this. You don't need to worry about him taking you out in the middle of the Magisterium, though. I, uh, talked with Praetor Sinclair about the situation. He's going to have some of his, well, agents, in the area. They're not especially powerful, but they're fast. If Praetor White tries to take a swing at you, they'll swoop in and get you out of there. How's that sounds?

• Sounds like a plan. I'll see what White can tell me.

Super! I'll be rooting for you over here! It might even just be a lot safer to call Praetor White if you can, much safer. I'm all about just calling people up to discuss important matters with them.

Briefing

If you chose the Resistance option in Jack Hammer's story arc

Character, huh? What do you want from me? I got plenty of stuff to get done today, and none of it is involvin' having tea and crumpets with you.

• (Show Praetor White your information on him.)

...so, this info is still hangin' around. What, you plan on makin' this public? You wanna make somethin' of this right here in the Magisterium?

• I'm here to make a deal, White. Are you behind the movements in Imperial?

I ain't behind anything in Imperial. I got enough stuff goin' on here. You saw that document, I ain't the one who originally gave them the drugs. But how it is now is how it is. My boys wanted to be strong, and the only way they could keep bein' strong was by stayin' on that Fixadine.

I ain't gonna totally abandon them, but they gotta prove themselves to me, you understand? But I'm makin' this clear, I only got leashes on the Destroyers here in Nova. Whatever is going on in Imperial ain't my call. Now that you got me thinkin', though, I'm bettin' whoever first gave them the Fixadine is behind this stuff in Imperial.

• Something is going to have to be done about this, White.

Yeah, I'm aware of that. I'm gonna make ya a deal, Character. I ain't got the time right now to handle this myself, mainly 'cause if I did, folks would get suspicious. I'll give ya the location of the Fixadine lab that I got goin' on. If you go in there and blow it up, I'll make sure the right people know that you went and took out the main base of operations of the Destroyers here in Nova. I'm sure that'll give ya all the fame and whatever you wanna do with it. I'll keep it between you and me that I tipped you off, and you keep your mouth shut that I got any links to this. Last thing I need is more problems, I got enough of them puttin' up with Cole and that brat Duncan.

• We've got ourselves a deal, White.

If you chose the Loyalist option in Jack Hammer's story arc

Character, what's going on? Gotta say, nothin' bad has been happenin' in that lab of mine ever since you took out that trash there. You got some more news for me?

• There's documents about your relation to the Destroyers, White.

There is? Damn! I shoulda known Cole or Sinclair wouldn't have just let that pass. You know, they clear out all the little stuff they don't want people to know about them, but then they keep my secrets around, just in case of emergencies. Pretty nice of them, eh?

I gotta say, I ain't got no clue about what the Destroyers are doin' over in Imperial, I've just been moving around the ones here in Nova.

• You didn't originally give them the Fixadine, did you?

I wouldn't have done that to my boys, Character. They were strong, they knew how to fight. But I had to leave 'em behind to get this spot in the new world, you hear?

It all came down one day when they started seepin' into Praetoria, all hooked up on that stuff. I had to put 'em down, they were actin' all pals to me. I tried forcin' them off of the stuff, but once you're hooked, you're done for. They became weak little sticks without the drugs, you understand?

That's why I got some of the boys to figure out how to make the stuff and set up that lab. I don't know who originally gave it to them, but I'm guessin' the person that's behind it is the one leadin' things in Imperial City. This ain't good, Character, ain't good one bit.

• This is going to get revealed soon, White, if something isn't done.

You think I don't know that? I know that!

Look, I'm gonna have to ask you for a solid favor, Character. You're my main man / woman on this Fixadine thing, but I gotta step away from it now. We gotta remove any sign of it from Nova Praetoria. I need you to go back down to the lab and wipe it off of Nova, if you get my drift.

You do that, I'll spread the word that you went and took down the main Destroyer hub here in Nova, I know you got stuff going on with that whole fame and glory thing. I'll keep it a secret that you were workin' for me, and you'll keep it a secret that I was givin' them the crush. Sound like a deal?

• You've got a deal. I'm on my way.

Combat Start:

Sergeant Mallar: Character? No! I will not fail Praetor White! Do you hear me?!

Debriefing

Character. It is SO funny that you're here. TPN is running a report from Praetor White about you right now! Here, I've got it going on my phone, check it out!

Tami shows you the report that TPN is running. Praetor White is speaking with many reporters about the Destroyers menace. He mentions you specifically by name. A headshot photo of you is shown in the top right corner of the screen. Praetor White explains how you were investigating the Destroyers in Nova and eliminated their main base of operations. The reporters all burst into a murmur, making clarification that it's 'the Character of Imperial City', and not 'the Character from Old Orlando'. Praetor White specifies that it's you.

Endorsement deals with Praetor White, that's pretty great! But we still have our problems here with the Fixadine in Imperial City. I got a feeling though that something will break! If the Destroyers in Nova don't have any of their main stash left, I'm sure they'll be going to Imperial to find the main lab!

Part Three:Seeing what She Started

Briefing

Those Destroyers, they're, uhm, so predictable, you know? Not like you, or me, or Praetor Sinclair. Mr. G gave me some prime information on the Destroyer movements, prime information. After you took out their main lab in Nova Praetoria, a bunch made a straight line for some of the old tunnels in Imperial City. Seems weird, don't you think?. Almost like they either knew it existed or someone told them to go there. I've got the location right here, Character. I think this lead right here is gonna get us the information we need: the identity of the true leader of the Destroyers!

• I'll see what I can find down there.

Great! perfect! You'll wanna blow up anything you find down there, of course. But most importantly, you need to get any information on the Destroyer leader. I bet it's going to be real juicy and not something boring, like, 'Oh, it was random person A who was the leader all along'. That would be very unfortunate.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You should be careful about breathing the fumes in that lab.

The smell of Fixadine in these tunnels is almost ten times as strong as the one in Nova. You've definitely found the center of the Destroyers' Fixadine.

• Destroy the main Fixadine lab in Imperial City
  • Destroy the front lab
  • Destroy the middle lab
  • 4 bombs to arm to destroy the main lab
  • Take down the Destroyer Ring Leader

You've learned a surprising secret - Praetor Duncan was the one behind the Destroyers all this time!

Praetor Duncan's Destroyers

You defeated Teeth Breaker and found a folder on him; an event which was odd, given that Destroyers don't normally carry folders. Looking through it, you find it lists dates of deliveries for Fixadine in various areas of Imperial City. It seems Teeth Breaker was the main dealer in the city. You keep reading and find a very interesting note...

TB-

I need you to make sure little Michael doesn't catch wind of your operations here in Imperial. If he does, why, I'll just have to remove your little stash myself. I know you enjoy trying to act like you're in control, but you're not. I run things here, and if you boys turn out to be more trouble than you're worth, I'll just cut you loose and play with something else. Remember, I took you in when Michael threw you away, made you stronger with my little chemical. I made you who you are today. Don't you ever forget that. Ta ta!

<3 Duncan

You wonder just how much more incriminating this note could be of Praetor Duncan's involvement with the Destroyers.

Debriefing

Character, what did you find?

Ohmygodwhat?! Praetor Duncan is the leader of the Destroyers? She was the one who was directing them all this time in Imperial? This is, wow, uhm, this is some crazy stuff, Character, crazy stuff! We always knew that outside of her public persona she was pretty twisted, but this is something else! Do you realize how big you're going to become, Character, once you reveal this to the public? Oh, this is going to be huge! I can see the headlines now 'Character reveals Praetor Duncan's operations, Cole debates making Character a new Praetor!'

We've gotta get on this and fast. Duncan is going to know that we know about her operations. There's no time to lose!

Part Four: Destroyer Stand Off

Briefing

Things are escalating very quickly, Character. It's all becoming very exciting, I have to tell you! So, I've arranged for a full report to be given to TPN about the Destroyers. But, um, so I think Duncan is well aware of what we would plan to do with this information. Well, to be specific, she's aware of what someone is going to do with this information. She isn't aware of who has it. Or, uhm, maybe she is. I don't know. But I'm betting that she isn't gonna be able to make a move directly on you, given you're basically in with Praetor White.

Point being is that from what Mr. G has told me, there is a horde of one hundred Destroyers making their way to TPN through the tunnels. They're looking to take down TPN before the news can get out about Praetor Duncan! But see, Character, this is PERFECT! I've got everything set up for you!

• How is this perfect, exactly?

First off, here. You can use these.

Tami hands you a bag of... grenades?

Secondly, what's happening right now is that TPN is preparing to film you holding off the Destroyers horde. This is going to be HUGE, Character. This will go down in the history of Praetoria, no one will ever forget this! You'll need to get to the TPN campus right away and get yourself ready for a fight!

Members of the Resistance working undercover for Calvin Scott should inform him of what is happening.

Mission Objective(s)

• Meet with Praetor Duncan

Praetor Duncan

Debriefing

Well, well, big bad Character. The man / woman responsible for crippling the Destroyers, for saving TPN, and revealing my dirty little secret. I have to give you credit, Character. I thought you were going to be dumb enough to try to put Praetor White down instead of investigating further. Just goes to show that I underestimated you.

• Cole is still keeping you around, after all that?

Praetor Duncan grins coyly.

When I explained how things really went, everything was fine. You see, Character Praetor Keyes was kind enough to reveal the truth of the matter, that he was the one who was behind this whole mess with the Destroyers. I, of course, was just an innocent bystander. Keyes was so willing to help me out of this little jam, you should've seen him!

Of course, I didn't get off so easily, little Marcus told me I couldn't play with my Destroyers anymore, so there goes that whole bit of fun. And Praetor White told me not to lay a hand on you, or else he'd get involved. Isn't that just awful?

• So you used Praetor Keyes to get yourself out of this situation

I did. Of course, you know the truth, don't you? That's why the people of Imperial love you now. But I know your type, Character. I know that you're not out to save the people here in Praetoria. I know that deep down inside, you look out for number one. It's why I can understand you. Hehe! We're both the same, you know, just looking to get ourselves some fun and power. You did good today, but how many times have you hurt others to make yourself look good? I've done it plenty more times than you, trust me.

But at the end of the day, it's all about the image that the people have of you. If no one knows you killed twenty people to save one important person, who cares? Isn't that right? So don't try to act as if I'm the bad guy in this situation. You're just as rotten to the core as I am.

• Maybe I am. But today I won, and you lost.

Praetor Duncan laughs, putting a hand to her chest.

For today, Character. Just for today. I'll be interested in seeing where you go from here. Maybe you'll become a Praetor one day, or maybe you'll even become more powerful than Marcus himself. Though, that would require something... extraordinary, given Marcus' whole little Incarnate powers. But you should know this, Character.

When I get the chance, when you don't have Praetor White and the public on your side, I will make my move to kill you.

• I'll be ready, trust me. Pleasure talking with you, Duncan.

• I'm nothing like you, Duncan. One day, I'll make sure you don't get away.

Oh, tough words, Character, tough words! Maybe you're under the delusion that what you're doing is all good, is that it? A little person who makes his / her own crimes to look good cleaning them up?

Let's just say this, Character. I'll be looking forward to the day that you try to put me down for good. Because on that day, I'll make sure you're killed, just like all the other trash here in Praetoria.

• I wouldn't count on that, Duncan. Goodbye, for now.

Debriefing

This was all simply amazing, Character, simply amazing. TPN is running videos of you fighting the Destroyers non-stop. John Houston is giving commentary on the various moves you pulled off in the battle, and the people of Imperial City believe you to be an unstoppable force that they can all rely on. All in all, I say things turned out for the best! The Destroyers still linger in Nova and Imperial, but without their main stash of Fixadine, they will eventually die out. They're certainly not going to become any more powerful than they currently are.

All of this has gotten the attention of Praetor Sinclair. You see, he's in a bit of, um, a bit of a jam. And given how you took Praetor Duncan down a few pegs, he requested that I send you to meet him right away.
