{{ArcAward|m=1}}


Those around here have wondered what exactly I am planning. I have not told them, precisely because I do not want our plan to get out. There are those in the Resistance who would... frown upon what I am planning, to put it lightly. However, all of the pieces have been set into motion now. I feel that I can tell you what our goal is, {{Character}}. Do you remember when you and Beholder aided me by finding information out about Hamidon? It confirmed one of my suspicions; Cole is developing weapons to destroy only organic life.
==== Souvenir ====
 
{{Souvenir|Wardog's Photo}}
I followed that lead and found my other suspicions confirmed as well: Cole already has a weapon made for this. It is a form of a Neutron bomb. When activated, it will ''wipe away all organic life in a two mile radius. The goal of it is to eradicate your enemies while leaving their cities perfectly preserved to use. At least, that's what it was for before the Hamidon War; now it is a tool to eradicate Hamidon and preserve whatever area is used.''
{{Mission:Blood of Tyrants - Finale: A Life Long Lived}}
 
''It is not surprising Cole went this route instead of nuclear technology; I imagine when you're at the epicenter of a nuclear explosion, you tend to think twice about using said weaponry. ''
 
{{green|So, you're planning on using this Neutron bomb where...?}}
 
''In Nova Praetoria.'' We're going to make a statement, {{Character}}. People in Praetoria, they forget history. They forget the concepts our country was founded on, they forget the tenants of freedom, of justice. Why? Because they have become ''smaller'' compared to the image of Cole fighting Hamidon. The people must be made to see that Cole can bleed, that Cole is ''fallible''. The only way to do that is to make a large enough statement to the people. That is what Beholder's seers will be used for; before the bomb is rigged, I will deliver my speech to the people of Praetoria, ''teaching'' them the true history that Cole doesn't want them to know. That, {{Character}}, is my plan.
 
But first, Praetoria's defenses must be weakened. There is a warehouse that provides power to many Clockwork. I'll need you to go in there and destroy the generator, along with any powered Clockwork. You will have aid from our allies in the Syndicate, namely a woman named Lauren McAllister. Good luck, {{Character}}.

Did you know, that I used to be a teacher? Not many do. I was a history teacher, before joining the Resistance. It was a lifetime ago. Everything changed when Cole took away our freedom, our history. But that is a story I can save for later on. We have work to do.
 
==== Part Two: The Mind's Eye ====
 
We have one last obstacle before moving to obtain the Neutron Bomb, {{Character}}. That would be where exactly it is. This is a problem easily solved by tapping into the network that the seers use. I would simply request Beholder to do it, but she has grown weak in the past few days. I fear that she truly does not have much time left in this world. But she has fashioned a device that can be used to scan a seer's mind.
 
There is a seer who has this information, by the name of 7282. Lovely name, isn't it? We're all just numbers to Cole and the Praetors. Her location was kindly provided by our allies in the Syndicate.
 
{{green|So I need to go in there and scan this seer's memory?}}
 
Precisely. You'll have aid from the Syndicate. The man's name is Marcus Kirchmer, a skilled swordsman. I remember when he was a younger boy. I taught him, in fact, in my previous life. Very smart and very polite boy.
 
When you arrive at the facility, you'll need to re-sync the device with the network. Once that is done, it's a simple matter of weakening the seer in order to activate the device.

It's an interesting fact that Cole's main method of policing the people of Praetoria has led us to discover the location of this all important bomb. Much like all tyrants in history, Cole's main weakness is his grip of control over the people.
 
This was something I tried desperately to teach my students, in the final days of my teaching. I was forced out, you know. I did not leave on my own volition; Cole and his forces threatened the well-being of my family and friends if I did not stop spreading my 'lies' to the children that I taught. Instead of continuing a career teaching lies to the children, I left my job. I went home that night to find my home empty. It seems Cole did not 'approve' of my choice. The reports say my family was sent away to another country, claiming they wanted to go there to aid them.
 
That was over five years ago, {{Character}}. I know that my family is dead. Perhaps that is why in these final moments, I am calm.

Our allies in the Syndicate have been most helpful to our cause. Unfortunately for them, I know how the Syndicate operates. Now that we have the location of the bomb, they will try to take the bomb for themselves. It is unfortunate, but it is the nature of their dealings. Kirchmer, I know, will betray me. It will not be the first time a former student of mine has betrayed me, nor will it be the first time that I will have to kill a former student of mine. Such is the life that good men are forced to live in these times.
 
It is a dirty business, {{Character}, but I must ask you to eliminate those members of the Syndicate who we once called allies, along with their contact, a man named Vincent Soto.
 
{{green|They'll have to be taken down if they intend to betray us first, right?}}
 
Right.
 
I believe they move now through the tunnels, of all places. I have it on good authority that they bring with them proximity bombs. They intend to use them to blow up our main route in and out of the tunnels. An interesting notion, but they believed they were dealing with a fool. I strongly prescribe to the notion that those who do not know history will be doomed to repeat it. I know quite well how all historical dealings with organizations such as the Syndicate have gone, and I will not see us fail because of their greed.

Excellent work, {{Character}}. That was the last loose end that we have. We can move forward now with our plan of attack to retrieve the bomb.
 
Kirchmer was the second student I've had killed. The first was a PPD officer, a man named Stewart Tones. I knew him very well, he was one of my most intelligent students. I did not want to kill him, {{Character}}, but it was either him, or me. I pleaded with the boy to walk away, but he insisted he was 'serving the good of Praetoria'. After all I taught him, he still had that naive, ignorant view. I shot him in the head before he could shoot me. I truly believe that on that day, whoever I once was died.
 
I apologize for going on at length about this, {{Character}}, but I feel someone must know of my past, of my history. I do not intend to live through this plan; I cannot die without at least one person learning from what I've gone through.

Information

Resistance cell captain

Wardog is known to people in the Resistance as being wrapped in a mystery. Most who remember Wardog's true past are long dead. One thing is for sure: Wardog is a dangerous man, determined to do whatever it takes to win.

Prior to Introduction

We have nothing to discuss at the moment. You should work with the others first.

Initial Contact

Character, let's keep this introduction brief. You and I both have many things to get done, like all great figures in history. Let me just say that I consider the two of us equals here in the Resistance. We both are going to do what it takes to get things done. And, after all the help you've given to the others, we sit on the edge of a moment that will change the face of Praetoria forever.

Greeting

  • Let's make sure we're the victors in this war, Character.
  • History will be made and preserved today, Character.

Souvenir

Old History Book

Wardog gave you this old history textbook, originally written in the 1980's. You open the front page to see the names of several of his students. It reminds you of an experience you call...

Those Who Make History

It began with Wardog revealing his master plan; the retrieval of a Neutrom bomb and the intent to use it to make a grand statement against Cole in Nova Praetoria. The first thing that had to be done was to weaken any possible support that Cole's regime could send against the retrieval of the bomb. You burst into a warehouse full of Clockwork and sent it into chaos with the help of an ally from the Syndicate.

Next, you had to hack into a seer's mind in order to find the location of the Neutron bomb. This was easy enough, and again you had aid from the Syndicate.

Wardog informed you afterwards there was one last loose end; the Syndicate. They were on their way to betray the Resistance and take the bomb themselves. You made the first move by striking down your former Syndicate allies, including one man who was Wardog's former student.

With that done, all that was left was assaulting the main lab where the Neutron bomb was being kept. You, Vagabond, Hatchet, and Wardog made a daring attack and retrieved the Neutron bomb, despite the overwhelming presence of the PPD. Now, you all stand on the edge of history, the Resistance possessing what may be one of the most powerful devices in all of Praetoria...

Part One: The First Line of Defense

Briefing

Those around here have wondered what exactly I am planning. I have not told them, precisely because I do not want our plan to get out. There are those in the Resistance who would... frown upon what I am planning, to put it lightly. However, all of the pieces have been set into motion now. I feel that I can tell you what our goal is, Character. Do you remember when you and Beholder aided me by finding information out about Hamidon? It confirmed one of my suspicions; Cole is developing weapons to destroy only organic life.

I followed that lead and found my other suspicions confirmed as well: Cole already has a weapon made for this. It is a form of a Neutron bomb. When activated, it will wipe away all organic life in a two mile radius. The goal of it is to eradicate your enemies while leaving their cities perfectly preserved to use. At least, that's what it was for before the Hamidon War; now it is a tool to eradicate Hamidon and preserve whatever area is used.

It is not surprising Cole went this route instead of nuclear technology; I imagine when you're at the epicenter of a nuclear explosion, you tend to think twice about using said weaponry.

  • So, you're planning on using this Neutron bomb where...?

In Nova Praetoria. We're going to make a statement, Character. People in Praetoria, they forget history. They forget the concepts our country was founded on, they forget the tenants of freedom, of justice. Why? Because they have become smaller compared to the image of Cole fighting Hamidon. The people must be made to see that Cole can bleed, that Cole is fallible. The only way to do that is to make a large enough statement to the people. That is what Beholder's seers will be used for; before the bomb is rigged, I will deliver my speech to the people of Praetoria, teaching them the true history that Cole doesn't want them to know. That, Character, is my plan.

But first, Praetoria's defenses must be weakened. There is a warehouse that provides power to many Clockwork. I'll need you to go in there and destroy the generator, along with any powered Clockwork.

Part Two: The Mind's Eye

Briefing

We have one last obstacle before moving to obtain the Neutron Bomb, Character. That would be where exactly it is. This is a problem easily solved by tapping into the network that the seers use. I would simply request Beholder to do it, but she has grown weak in the past few days. I fear that she truly does not have much time left in this world.

Wardog's Photo

Before you left Wardog, he gave you this photo as his last memento. It is of a school, most likely the one where he taught. It reminds you of an experience called...

Blood of Tyrants

It was the last moments of Wardog's major plan to unleash a Neutron bomb within Nova Praetoria. Things had gone poorly, however; the PPD T.E.S.T. cornered you, Vagabond, and Wardog in the tunnels underneath Nova Praetoria. It was here that you were faced with a choice: fight through the PPD TEST and activate the bomb, killing the entire squad heading down into the tunnels along with Vagabond and Wardog, or betraying the two members of the Resistance to disarm the bomb yourself, earning yourself the title of 'Hero of Praetoria'.

This is our moment, Character. We've all worked hard to reach this moment in our history. Can you feel it? The sense that you're standing on the brink of a historical moment? Much like our forefathers before signing the Constitution. We've ensured that most of our operatives will not be in Nova Praetoria. They've also evacuated all of our supporters - very silently, of course. They'll all just know when to not be there.

All that is left for us is to bring the bomb to the proper location in Nova and unleash it upon the Loyalists. The Seers will ensure that everyone will see the speech I shall give; they will see what happens when a man makes a stand against a group of monsters.

  • Where are we bringing the bomb?

Through the tunnels of Imperial. We will bring it up through the tunnels in Nova, very close to the Magisterium. And then... it will all be over, Character. I will make my announcement, with Vagabond at my side. And then, the bomb will let loose, ending the last moments of my cursed life here in Praetoria. I can only hope that people will learn from what I have to say, that I am the last that needs to make this stand. This is my one hope, Character. Now... let us get moving. We have history to make.

Those Loyalists who have gone undercover would do well to speak with Provost Marchand about events that are happening.

Unnecessary Solicitation

We've no time to lose, Character.

Briefing

Good to see you're here, Character. The detonator for the Neutron bomb is over there in that crate. You'll be in charge of handling it. Go grab it and we'll get our next plan of action in motion.

  • Sounds good.
"Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."

Wardog: It's almost time, Character! We're going to get this topside and then all you need to do is trigger it!
You: And you expect me to blow up with you?
Wardog: No, you stay down here. You'll use that device of yours to activate the bomb, once we give you the signal.
Wardog: You don't need to die for our cause, Character. Not today.
Vagabond: We've got a problem, Wardog! The PPD found us!

What's your current situation?

PPD Investigator: The Resistance have a device that can destroy all of Nova, call in EVERYONE!

Everyone?

PPD Investigator: EVERYONE!
Wardog: Alright Character, change in plans! You've got to get as far from here as possible and activate the bomb.
Wardog: We'll activate the Seers and show all of Praetoria that Cole is just a man, not a god!

Resistance Choice
Activate the Neutron Bomb
Wipe out all the PPD TEST with the Neutron Bomb
Aid the Resistance
Wardog's plan to blow up the Magisterium has been thwarted, but it can still be salvaged if the bomb can take out a major unit of the PPD. You'll have to make your way up through the tunnels and activate the bomb. The Seers will ensure all of Praetoria sees exactly what the Resistance can do!

With the Seers broadcasting the events to all of Praetoria, now would be the perfect time to turn on the Resistance! All of Praetoria would see you as their 'savior', stopping the Resistance bombing plot. You'd gain the favor of the people and of the Loyalists, opening up the way to untold power within Praetoria. Who wouldn't give unending praise to the hero who disarmed the Neutron bomb?

Briefing

Character! We've got a major situation on our hands. I've got the device to disarm the bomb... but I've run into one of those infected Resistance. I've neutralized the disease, but my vision is getting darker and darker...

  • Give me the device. I'll handle disarming the bomb

You take the device from the bomb expert and look it over. It's actually an extremely simple device, surprisingly so, given the nature of the bomb. You're able to deduce how to easily disarm the bomb. You could do it now, or activate the seers and show all of Praetoria your actions.

  • (Activate the seers)
Seers Dialogue
You use the devices given to you by Beholder and Wardog to activate the seers. Now, all of Praetoria can see what is happening.
  • (Turn to the seers, explaining the situation)
You outline the situation for all of Praetoria - about how you infiltrated the Resistance, worked your way into their trust, and that you're now here to disarm the bomb and save everyone's lives.
  • (Disarm the bomb)
This selection loops to another branch of this conversation which is already documented. (A)
  • (Disarm the bomb) (A)
With a simple push of a button, you disarm the Neutron bomb, stopping what must have been years of planning by the Resistance in one, simple moment.
