Description

Primal Earth description

Trapped within his powered armour, Anti-Matter used to be Tyrant's primary scientific consultant. He and Neuron were once best of friends and created the Clockwork of Praetorian Earth together. Of late his theories have been more and more radical causing Tyrant to lean on Neuron for research and analysis. Unbeknownst to anyone Anti-Matter had cracked the Portal tech. He is waiting to reveal his breakthrough in order to garner favour from Tyrant and his true love, Dominatrix.

Praetorian contact description

Ex-Praetor

Anti-Matter was once called Praetor Keyes until his title was removed from him by Emperor Cole himself. Many still called him Praetor out of habit, but he has resigned himself to being called Anti-Matter during his, 'time in exile'.

Prior to Introduction

Begone with your simpleton self, fool. Can you not see that I am devoting every last synapse within my brain to alleviate the current situation? Bother me again and I will be sorely tempted to annihilate you.

Initial Contact

Since I'm in direct contact with you, Character, you'll refer to me by my real name, Anti-Matter. I don't have time for the Praetor formalities. I've heard that you are the best amongst those loyal to Praetoria, which is why I have requisitioned your services. The work I am doing here on my island is of the upmost importance to Emperor Cole, therefore it is only logical that it is as important to you, too. I have a vital task that I am about to entrust to you. I am hoping for your sake that you understand the gravity of the situation.

Greeting

Part One: The New Team

Anti-Matter mumbles to himself.

Do you know how much work is put on my shoulders, Character. Too much. Cole thinks I'm like that idiot Berry, that I can just wave my hand and make something in a matter of moments. Well, I can't, but what I can do is make something that's good. Look around you at these reactors of mine. They're efficient, powerful, and will stand the test of time.

Now, look at Berry's work in his city. It's already beginning to crumble, and he's simply moving on to his 'next big thing'. He should be ashamed of his work, and yet, he gets all the glory. Is it right? Fair? It isn't. And further, it isn't fair that now I'm tasked to deal with these otherworlders. As if I didn't have enough to deal with. Cole claims Berry is 'busy', but I highly doubt that.

So... who are these 'other worlders'?

Anti-Matter lets out a long sigh.

They call themselves Longbow. They just started spilling out of the tunnels one day, making a mess out of everything. They're some sort of spandex-wearing idealists, spouting about delivering 'justice' and giving the people 'freedom'. All I know is that they're causing me nothing but problems. A group of them have attacked one of my labs. I'd go handle it myself, but I've got ten other things that I'm tasked with doing, of course. It's not like one of my labs is important.

Some investigator or interrogator went down there before to look into it, think his name was Kang or something. I don't need any PPD dying in my labs, that'll just be one more thing that will be held over my head. I need you to go in there and stabilize the situation, Character. I hear that's what you do best.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Look, I've got no time to go over things again. Take notes or something when I talk to you, I'm backlogged enough as it is.

Mission Objective(s)

You're greeted at the door by Interrogator Kang, while in the distance you can hear someone talking about the 'evils of Praetoria'.

Interrogator Kang & Longbow dialogue

Miscellaneous dialogue throughout the mission

---

Longbow 1: What about jurisdiction?
Longbow 2: What about it? Look, Tyrant and his Praetorians are a threat to everyone, like Recluse. Someone needs to make a move.
Interrogator Kang: These fools, do they even know what they're talking about? They're the ones that are the threat!
Longbow 1: The people here, they seem happy. Is this right for us to be here?
Longbow 3: Don't be fooled. We've got direct orders from Ms. Liberty to do what we can here, even if the others won't.

---

Interrogator Kang: Some of them doubt their cause. But I wonder, where do they come from? Who is this Ms. Liberty?
Longbow 1: All I'm saying is that their police force, by in large, are using non-lethal weapons. Look at what we're equipped with!
Longbow 2: Don't be fooled, they're corrupt, just like Arachnos. You need to wait and see.

---

Interrogator Kang: Hmph. I think I've seen these 'Arachnos' before. They think that we in the PPD are like them?

---

Longbow 1: When are we getting back up? From the Freedom Phalanx?
Longbow 2: It's too risky for them to make an appearance just yet.

---

Interrogator Kang: Hrm... Freedom Phalanx. I wonder, are these some sort of foreigners? Perhaps from the East?

---

Longbow Officer: We need that layout if we're going to move through the tunnels. Direct orders from Dietrich.

---

Interrogator Kang: That communicator of hers is interesting. This Longbow group is working with Arachnos?
Interrogator Kang: All of them seek to bring chaos here to Praetoria. But why? There needs to be a good reason...

Debriefing

My researchers are starting to flood back into the lab. Good job. That's one task off my list of a hundred things to get done by the end of the day. You found information about this Longbow group working with Arachnos? Ugh...

'Anti-Matter groans and begins to pace back and forth.

This is going to lead back to me, Character, I know it. Sure, why don't we ask Anti-Matter to take care of it, he's not a Praetor anymore, he has all the time in the world! It's not like I'm still being ordered to do everything else while that brat Berry just continues screwing around. Character, I think I'm going to need your help some more, because if Cole expects me to protect Praetoria on top of everything else I'm doing, then it's going to be up to you to get that part done.
