- Tami Baker Tami Baker is Praetor Sinclair's personal secretary. Because of that, she tends to have information on every little detail here in Imperial City. She also has been known to work with Mr. G. I'm almost inclined to say calling her a 'secretary' is limiting the scope of what she is actually capable of.
Information
Former Mage
Transmuter was once a powerful mage who could turn material around him into anything he needed with a simple flick of his wrist. He even fought alongside Emperor Cole and Praetor White during the Hamidon Wars. Transmuter's magic was powered by his third eye and a magical medallion. Transmuter's medallion was shattered by Reese, who smashed it into pieces during his induction into Powers Division. Reese was proclaimed the new 'Top Dog', while Transmuter was re-assigned to Imperial City.
Prior to Introduction
Hrm, I think I've heard of you. Character. That's right. Well, I have nothing at all to speak with you about. I'd love to chat some more, but a man of my position is really busy. Why don't you try coming back later? Yes, you should do that.
Initial Contact
Ah, Character, it's excellent that you've come to talk to me. Mr. G has told me all about you. My name is The Transmuter, fighter of the Hamidon Wars, aid to Emperor Cole, organizer of Powers Division in Imperial City. The fact that you're here speaking to me now can only mean that Mr. G believes that I can help you, given my lofty position here in Imperial City.
Normally, I don't help regular people, I tell them what to do. But you, you're a bit different now, aren't you, Character? Saving Edward Polstra from those members of the Resistance, just to name one of the many things you've done. I can see you and I taking to the skies, lighting up Imperial City with our glory. Perhaps, we may even find a new source for my magical powers. Wouldn't that be something?
Sure. Now, Mr. G said you'd be providing me with a squad...?
Yes! That I am. We in the Powers Division want to really make a push to show our true might, flex our muscles, if you will. Who better to do it than you, the man who saved Eddie Polstra, amongst other claims to fame? You've been assigned five members of Powers Division, all who will follow your orders.
Their names are Riptide, Zane, Aria, Stern, and Warrant.
They're all waiting to be deployed, so when you're ready, speak with me again and we can begin.
Greeting
- Let's make some news, Kerian. We're destined for greatness.

Part One: The Killer
You know, Kerian, I remember when I had my own squad of Powers Division. We were pretty famous. People would give us flowers when we walked down the street, cheer us on while we fought off Hamidon's monsters. this was before those sonic fences were put into place, of course. It's... good to see other people getting a chance to experience what I did. Anyway, let's get down to business.
You may or may not be aware, but there is someone going around killing Powers Division members. Many of the deaths have been low profile; a death here of a man who has minor levitation powers, a gruesome murder over there of a woman who can teleport. Very minor in comparison to the powers I once had and the ones that you currently possess.
Now, however, the killings are starting to get more high profile. Yesterday, some known members of Powers Division in Imperial City were found dead. The murderer planted a note on them. It said, 'Kerian is next'.
I imagine this is something we should be pro-active about. It was broadcast over TPN that this murderer is after you; naturally, the people of Imperial are concerned.
Naturally. Well, let's get to work. Any leads?
We've got a few. The PPD have been working to supply us with information, though it hasn't been the greatest. You know how it is with the PPD. We're better than them because of our powers. They slack off while we do the real work; it's why the only real famous PPD officer was James Noble. Too bad that he's gone now. I remember first meeting him after going toe to toe with one of Hamidon's monsters, right in the center of People's Park...
Ahem. The lead we have is that our murderer may have some association with the Destroyers. The PPD have noticed that the Destroyers have more... direction, as of late. Their attacks don't seem random anymore, like back in Nova. A particular group of Destroyers have broken into an office building and are going on a rampage at this moment. A member of Powers Division went in there to stop them, but that was an hour ago. Our murderer may still be in that building. You'll have to find the member of Powers Division, then the lead Destroyer. You'll be accompanied by two members of your squad, Aria and Riptide. They'll be there by the time you arrive.
Unnecessary Solicitation
I remember one of the first assignments with my squad, Kerian. Perhaps you and I can talk about it one day.
Mission Objective(s)
Aria and Riptide stand ready as you enter. Could this Powers Division killer really just be a mindless Destroyer?
- Track the Powers Division Murderer
- Look for the missing member of Powers Division
- Two minutes until Destroyer Hordes arrive, find a device in the office to stop them
- Find any civilians left in the office
- Defeat the Destroyer raid leader
You recovered the remains of the man from Powers Division and took down Big Red Hound. Unfortunately, it appears that he was not the man you were looking for.
Enemies
- Big Red Hound (Destroyers Big Dog)

Debriefing
No luck? That's too bad. It appears our lead on the Destroyers was a bad one. Not surprising, given it was from the PPD. I've spoken with Mr. G, who says that he will handle the investigation regarding the odd movements of the Destroyers. Oh, also, that man you rescued was just interviewed by TPN. They'll be running a report on your daring rescue later tonight. It's excellent to be on the top, isn't it? I always did enjoy it. Well, do enjoy it. I'm still fairly respected for all my past exploits, even if I'm... a desk worker for the moment.
Let's not get into all that ugly business, however. There's a person out there looking to kill you; we've got to get to the bottom of it. Just remember, I'm here to assist you every step of the way.
Take this, it's my contact information. I only share it with those who are on the up and up. You, Kerian, are most definitely one of those people.
Part Two: The Four Powers Division
Things are becoming grim, Kerian. Two more members of Powers Division were found dead. Unfortunate for them, but fortunate for us. The people of Imperial City are whispering about your safety, hoping you can bring this person to justice. I mentioned to someone that I was good friends with you. They told me to give you this.
'Transmuter hands you a pin with your face on it. Above your face are the words, 'I Support Kerian!'.
You've garnered quite the amount of support in Imperial. It reminds me of how things were for me, back when we first put the sonic fencing up around Praetoria. I was there when Cole gave his speech about how the people of Praetoria did not need to be afraid anymore of the Hamidon. It received terrific applause. It was an amazing day, Kerian. I'm sure it'll be just as amazing as when you catch this murderer.
We've ruled out the Destroyers, which means right now it's either the Resistance or the Syndicate. Riptide and Aria are investigating the Resistance lead. In the meantime, I've managed to help arrange a little... trap to set for the Syndicate.
What exactly is this trap?
The Syndicate are always after information. Aside from their guns, katanas, and psychic powers, it's their main source of power. There is a lab in Imperial City that they believe has very important information. They believe an insider of theirs will be planting the information for them to retrieve with a squad. However, that insider is dead, thanks to the work of Riptide. Now we can benefit from his knowledge.
Stern, Warrant, and Zane will accompany you for this task. You'll be able to set things up to spring a trap on the Syndicate to lure out a suspect in the murder, a woman named Marisa Delany. You'll be facing large numbers of Syndicate, so it may be a little unfair for them. Do you see the joke I did there, Kerian? I did them all the time when I fought along with Emperor Cole and Praetor White.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Is everything going according to plan?
Mission Objective(s)
Stern, Zane, and Warrant stand ready as you enter. The rest of the lab has been evacuated in preparation for your battle with the Syndicate.
- Lure out Marisa Delany
- Hold off the Syndicate until their leader arrives! - 1:30
- Take down Marisa Delany
Marisa Delany was indeed a murderer, but not the one you were looking for.

Debriefing
It's too bad about Marisa, Kerian. Well, in terms of the investigation. The PPD were trying to track her all this time; of course, it just took one simple operation from Powers Division to bring her in. I think it's fairly telling. You know, when the PPD were first founded, I expressed concern that they would not be able to match the sheer power that we all had. Sure enough, my concerns were founded.
Riptide and Aria brought us some possible news. There is a known member of the Resistance here in Imperial right now. She goes by the name of Ricochet. She may be one of the killers, but we can't be sure.
Part Three: Fame or Honor
It's likely that this woman Ricochet is the one responsible for the murders. However, as you and I have experienced, it's also possible this is a red herring. If I may advise, the best course of action would be to split up.
We know that Ricochet is somewhere in the tunnels with another Resistance member by the name of Twitcher. We're also aware that there has been some odd activity by the Resistance in a lab nearby. Lastly, there's some rumors of an underwater cavern somewhere in Imperial. Given that your power easily matches most of your team, it seems that it would be best for you to investigate Ricochet. Riptide is the only other member with the abilities to investigate the underwater cavern. Warrant, Aria, Stern, and Zane will stay in the lab and monitor the situation.
Ah... this brings me back, Kerian. I remember an operation that myself, Praetor White, and Praetor Sinclair were involved in. The three of us split up to track down some of the early members of the Resistance. The thrill of the chase, the adrenaline pumping... I tell you, there's nothing like it!
Right. Do you have tyhe location of the tunnels, or ...?
Ah, I go on, of course. Here's the location. You'll have to take down Twitcher first in order to get Ricochet's exact location.
Warrant will be in touch with you regarding their status within the labs. If anything happens, he or I will let you know. This could be big, Kerian, Ricochet is a known member of the Resistance. She's responsible for the deaths of dozens of PPD; some say she even planted nerve gas in a lab in Nova Praetoria. Bringing her down will put your name out there for everyone to see - if they haven't seen it already, that is.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Have you captured that woman yet?
Mission Objective(s)
Ricochet of the Resistance is here, somewhere. Even if she isn't the murderer, bringing in such a high ranking member is sure to make a bigger name for yourself.
- Capture Ricochet
- Bring in Twitcher
- Leave to help Warrant and the others, OR capture Ricochet
Leave to Help your teammates: You'll need to hurry and speak with Transmuter about the lab's location. Capture Ricochet: +++ Missing Information +++
Enemies
- Twitcher (Resistance Officer)
Part Four: The Past Revisited
Kerian! Thank goodness you're here. It's your team, they've been ambushed! I was only able to get some information out from Zane before his communicator went down. The man who attacked them - it's Reese!
Reese? Who's Reese?
Reese was one of the former top dogs, back in Nova Praetoria. The man who robbed me of my powers. Justice was served when an up and coming Powers Division member took him down and even tried to blow him up. Unfortunately, it looks like it didn't stick. It all makes sense now, Kerian.
He sees you as the new 'top dog' and wants to reclaim his former position! You need to get to that lab before he gets away!
Members of the Resistance working undercover for Calvin Scott should inform him of what is happening.
I'm on it. (Start Mission)
