Information

Junior Programmer

Shauna Braun is a young programmer from Paragon City. She was raised by her father in a tiny apartment in between Kings Row and Independence Port. Shauna moved out when she went to college, but her father - having sacrificed so much to give his daughter a good education - continued to live there until it burned down a year ago. The PPD closed the case, citing an accident as the cause of the fire, but Shauna doesn't buy the explanation. She wants to uncover the truth behind her father's death and bring the perpetrators to justice.

Prior to Introduction

None, walk-up.

Too Low Level

I'm not sure you're up to what I need done. Come back when you're at least Security Level 25.

Contact Unlocked

None, walk-up.

Initial Contact

This young woman's trendy clothes, designer sunglasses, and thin frame makes her look ready to begin a night out on the town, rather than looking for a hero. But as you approach, she slides her sunglasses down to look at you straight, revealing heavy bags under her eyes. Her lips are pressed thin and she takes your measure.

So you're Character? I've read about you before, heard the stories of all the people you've helped... You're the type that isn't afraid to get their hands dirty to make sure justice gets done, right?

My father was murdered, but the police won't do anything about it. They claim he died in an accident, but I know that's not true! I have a feeling that there are some powerful people who don't want me to uncover the truth. Can you help me, Character?

Wrong Alignment

Can I help you? I'm not really interested in chatting...

Greeting

  • We're going to get to the bottom of this. I know that I can count on you to help bring my father's killers to justice.

Too Busy

Thanks for coming to see me, Character, but you look like you have a lot on your plate already. You'll need to devote a lot of attention to help me.

No More Missions

I don't know what I'm going to do now, Character. I just need to be left alone to think.

You put an end to his greed... permanently. There's blood on your hands, but far less than what Rider was responsible for.

Part One: Dirty Politics

Briefing

A look of relief washes over Shauna's face. She lets out a sigh and starts to talk in a shaking voice.

My father's apartment building burned down a year ago. The Blackwood Tower fire - did you hear about it? Worst of all, they said he was the one who started the fire! That a grease fire in his apartment got out of control and burned the whole place down. But, Character, in the twenty-five years I've been alive, my dad was the safest cook I've ever met. I never saw so much as a splatter of spaghetti sauce on the stove, much less a fire.

Shauna's voice starts to crack as she recalls the memories of her father's cooking. She pauses for a moment and takes a deep breath.

They wanted to tear down the apartment building and redevelop it, 'cause it was low-income housing. My father was loudly against it. He organized protests, handed out flyers, called council members... the works. In the end, only one person voted for the plan...

Councilman Matthew Stone. I'm sure he's involved somehow. He must have wanted the redevelopment to happen, I just don't know why. I just need to find enough pieces to finish the puzzle.

  • I'll look into it.

Thank you, Character. I've been waiting a year for someone to listen to me. No one else would. My dad was a good man. He raised me all alone after my mother left. I never even knew her, but he gave me so much love that I didn't miss having a mom. He wouldn't even hurt a fly... but they killed him, like he wasn't worth a thing, then dragged his name through the mud.

Stone shares an office builing with a lot of other local politicians. You can probably find something there if you look around. Take my cell number; call me as soon as you find something.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Look for memos, financial records, anything that might explain why he voted for the redevelopment.

Mission Objective(s)

You arrive at the office building that Councilman Stone uses. Curiously, the Family is crawling all over the place.

  • Investigate the councilman's office
    • Search cabinets and computers

You found numerous memos that stated Stone was planning to vote against the proposal. It seems odd that he suddenly voted for it, instead.

Enemies

The Family
Clue
Internal Memos

These memos, written on the stationery of city Councilman Matthew Stone, detail his opposition to the Blackwood Tower Redevelopment plan. Curiously, he eventually wound up voting in favor of the plan.

Debriefing

So Stone planned on voting against the proposal too? But he suddenly changed his mind... That makes it sound like something caused him to change his mind, doesn't it, Character? And I think I have some idea of why...


Part Two: Dirty Money

Briefing

So the man behind the redevelopment plan is Andrew Rider, the millionaire CEO of Rider Development. He wanted to tear down the apartment and replace it with office buildings. If you ask me, he must have tried to bribe the council members, but only Stone took the bait. We need to get proof first, though.

Truth be told, I figured that Rider had something to do with all of this. He benefited the most from the apartment burning down. Rider Development keeps a lot of its funds and records with the First National Bank. You'll have to break in, but you might be able to find something that helps us.

  • Shouldn't be a problem.

Look for anything that shows a connection between Stone and Rider. Payments, contracts, anything like that. We just need to find the strings that tie all this together.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I always thought Stone was good for the neighborhood, but if he's taking bribes...
