'''Seer 0001's Mask'''
{{Mission:You Can't Go Home - Part One: I Dared To Dream}}
 
{{Mission:You Can't Go Home - Part Two: Half Life}}
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:  
{{Mission:You Can't Go Home - Part Three: Throw Away The Key}}
 
{{Mission:You Can't Go Home - Finale}}
'''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 [[Praetorian Police Department|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.''

{{green|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.

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?

{{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.

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!

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 [[Praetorian Police Department|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.

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.

Souvenir

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 preferred 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

Briefing

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.

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

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

Briefing

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.

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.

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

Sergeant Colins Ambush Dialogue

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

Briefing

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...

Unnecessary Solicitation

I'll teleport us there, seriously, I can totally do it.

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?

  • Yes, I can see it clearly in my mind. (Enter Mission)
  • Are you sure about this? You've NEVER done this before.
You wuss / scardey cat! Come on.

BAF Prisoner Dialogue
Henry Douglas Dialogue
PPD Ambush Dialogue

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.

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

Briefing

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!

Katie Douglas

Seer 0001 Battle Dialogue

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

Merit Rewards: This activity awards 2 Reward Merits.

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

Briefing

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.

When you are ready to go, I will take you.

Is it truly the right thing to free them, and subject the rest of Praetoria to that chaos?

Seer 1381 Dialogue


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.

  • I didn't do this for you, Tilman. I know what you do to these women.
Praetor Tilman's sly smile curves downward dangerously.
I don't think I like your tone, +++ Missing Information +++ / little miss! Do you truly understand, what I do? I am the Seers. They cannot exist without my guidance. And without them, Praetoria would spiral into chaos.
Praetor Tilman seethes for a moment and then tucks a strand of purple hair behind her hair and composes herself.
I apologize, Character, I'm sure you didn't mean to upset me so. I simply get agitated when people insinuate that I would ever seek to harm one of my girls.
  • Maybe not today, Tilman. But one day, I'll make sure you pay for your crimes. I promise.
Praetor Tilman maintains her aloof composure, letting your words wash over her with a smirk.
I see. Well I'll be looking forward to that day then, Character.
Tilman's eyes narrow into thin slits and she scowls.
But until that day, remember this. Mother is watching you.
  • (Leave)
  • Anything to serve the empire, Mother.
Such a good, loyal man / +++ Missing Information +++! 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.
