Initial Contact
Ever see a network data packet stop and ask for directions? I see it all the time, man. I'm the fastest dude out there on the network. Well, other than that Neuron piece of - MAN! What I'd give to upload a virus straight into his own head. Kinda like what he did to me. But hey... whatever.
But you know what, man? He thinks he's all the best and all that? Thinks he's the fastest dude out there? Well, he messed up when he screwed around with my brain. But you know these neuro-stims I gotta take to live? Yeah... well they make me as fast as him. And even though they're gonna kill me, I'll use them to give him a taste of MY medicine and see how that punk likes it.
So, uh, you wanna get started or something? I don't have all day, you know.
Greeting

Part One: Hooked
Hey, so, you know all about me, right? Read the papers? Or the televisions? Maybe not? Well, here's the quick lowdown, because I'm not here to waste time. I used to be Lightspeed, best hacker in Praetoria. 'Till they threw me in the BAF. Turns out they don't like hackers 'round here. Thing is though, I ain't all reformed. Reformed? Hah! Not me, not ever. I'm out to stick it to Neuron, to reveal all the stuff he's been doing. Like me, for instance. He did some sorta experiment on me, trying to increase the intelligence of the average citizen. Things didn't go perfectly, so he up and abandoned the project.
Now, I got myself thinking a mile a minute on a slow minute, you got me? I already got this entire plan thought out. S'why I've been trying to get in touch with the Resistance, you know? My brain's gonna fry soon, dunno when it'll be. All I know is the headaches get worse every week. I wanna do something before my brain goes BLAM. It ain't gonna be pretty, but that's fine. Well, it'll be fine once we take it to Neuron. If you're gonna have my help, though, you gotta do me a favor.
What's the favor?
I gotta slow down. I know, crazy, right? Here's the thing, I got a thousand things running in my head at once. Feels like there's a fire going on in there, all the synapses firing off, bang! Boom! I gotta get myself the drug that Neuron used on me during the experiments. I know of a place where it is, but it's guarded by the PPD. Real bummer, you know? If you can get that drug, I can get myself worked down enough to concentrate on getting us moving forward. You cool with that?
Unnecessary Solicitation
You gonna be cool with this?
Mission Objective(s)

You've got the medication that Walker needs to slow down!
Enemies

Debriefing
You got the stuff! Man, knew you would have it. Commercials said you'd get it, but then I didn't believe it. Not commercials, thinking of something else.
Aaron Walker takes the medication and injects it into his arm. He lets out a relieved sigh.
Ohhhhh man... that feels so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm still the fastest guy around here. But now I got all my thoughts in a line. It's all cool, you know? I got focus, well, as much focus as I can get. And you know what that means? You and me, Character, we're gonna bring the fight straight to Neuron.
Part Two: Identify and Confirm
Alright! You know what we gotta do, right? What? You don't? Man, I thought we had this figured out already. Okay, okay, we'll go over it one more time, but I won't explain it again. You run into those experiments in the tunnels? They're kinda like the ghouls back over in Imperial and Nova, but they're not. They've got themselves fancy robotics and all that cool stuff. Me, that stinks of a conspiracy, you get my train of thought? Cool. Lots of folks in these parts have gone missing in these tunnels and never come back. Including the PPD, but that doesn't matter too much. Thing with these freaks is that they're a lot smarter than the ghouls you're used to. Way smarter.
Alright, so what are we going to do with them?
Glad you asked! Well, not really, I was going to tell you anyway, you asking just slowed things down. Just kidding around, but seriously, it was slowing us down. So, check it out, first, I hacked into your communicator system. Don't worry, it's all good, I did it with your permission. Well, not really. But it's fine. You can contact me whenever you need to now. And I can contact you whenever I need to. Almost like you and me are friends, right? I think we're friends, I mean, I'm helping you, you're helping me. It's all good.
Current plan we have moving forward needs some of the ID tags that those experiments have. Only we need real specific ones. You get me those tags, I can get us some data on where to go next, you know?
I got here a list of specific experiments that have the ID tags we need. I need you to get the tags from Experiment 105, Experiment 46, and Experiment 203. I'd be careful if I were you. If I were me? I'd be even more careful. Those freaks are smart, organized. They usually set up proximity bombs that'll blow if you get near them.
Unnecessary Solicitation
You're still in one piece, yeah? Good, cause we got ourselves a lot to do.
Mission Objective(s)
You can hear orders being shouted in the distance. It sounds similar to the ghouls, though the language is clearer, more precise.
- Retrieve ID tags from Failed Experiments
- 3 ID tags to retrieve from Failed Experiments
Enemies
- Failed Experiments
Debriefing
Rock on that you got those ID tags, Character. I'm checking into them right now. These things are gonna lead us straight to where these guys came from. And then all we gotta do is -
Whoah.
WHOAH!
Character, I just found something that is HUGE. I thought Neuron was a sicko, but this blows him outta the water. But it all makes perfect sense. MAN! How could I not see it?!
All the lies, all the secrets... It's all connected, all of it!
You and me, Character, we just got ourselves a bonafied cause to fight for. We're gonna bring back to life a guy everyone thinks is dead: James Noble.
You ever heard of him? This guy was the best cop in Praetoria. Me, I hate cops, but this guy I respected. He fought to protect the people of Praetoria, not his own reputation. Took down the real criminals, like those Destroyer types and the Syndicate. Heard he even fought in the front lines overseas. While back, it was announced this guy was killed in a Resistance firefight outside of Praetoria. Gave him a whole big funeral, honors, the whole nine yards. Only according to the data I found, he ain't dead. He's one of them now, Taosin. One of the guys you fought in the underground. We've got ourselves a good man to save.
