Information
Clockwork Secretary
Praetor Berry created IVy some time ago to act as a buffer between him and the citizens of Neutropolis. The people would go to Ivy with any issues they may have, be it Resistance attacks, attacks by the Devouring Earth, any general emergency that needed to be handled. IVy would then send reports to the PPD and Praetor Berry to handle. As of late, IVy has been malfunctioning, causing many of her reports to go missing or never reach their intended destination. Praetor Berry has not yet fixed her

Initial Contact
Hello! As you may or may not know, my designated name, given to me by the great Praetor Berry, is Ivy! I am here assisting the great people of P-Praetoria with whatever they need!
However, my systems detect that you are far and beyond that of a normal person here in Praetoria! I have finished loading the list of tasks that I have been given by the good people here in Praetoria. I am showing delight at working with you to clear this list!
Greeting
I am welcoming you to Praetor Berry's office, for I am his secretary tasked with that function. My identification has been given to your person. Now I pause as I await you to respond with your identification.

=Part One: Old Tasks
Hello! I have finished retrieving the task list that you have requested from me! I am very happy and very pleased to give this to you. I have gone through all of the reports given to me and arranged them from most important to least important. The great Praetor Berry has programmed me to focus on the most important tasks first!
A citizen has reported that three of his friends have gone missing in the tunnels beneath Neutropolis! This citizen reported this an hour ago. The probability that his friends are still alive is quite high, according to the calculations instilled in me by Praetor Berry. I have used my programming to calculate the expected area that these citizens should be in! Do you want this location now, or should I move on to the next task? If you are curious, it involves an -
ERROR. TASK NOT FOUND. RESETTING DATABASE TO LAST KNOWN ISSUE.
Hello Character! I have an issue -
I know! I need the location of those people!
Affirmative! Here is the location in the tunnels where these people are located. I can - ERROR! ERROR!
Two large blades shoot out from IVy's arms for a moment. Her head twitches, causing the blades to sink back in.
I apologize for that scene! Rest assured, I have been programmed only to use the weapons on direct orders from Praetor Berry!
Unsolicited Contact
If you require assistance, please see one of the many PPD that patrol the fine streets of Neutropolis!

Part Two: The Great Praetor Berry.
Eh? Who're you? Look, I've got a thousand things to do in the next two minutes, talking to you makes it a thousand and one.
This is important, Praetor Berry. IVy has gone missing. I need to find her
IVy? Who is that? A plant?
Ah... The robot I designed a while back. She's missing? Hrm, hrmm... I really don't have time to deal with this, Character. I've got a ton of projects that need to get done. I've got something you could use though. Well, someone. Kind of a mix between a something and a someone. It's all I can spare right now, way too many important things that people are relying on me to do.
Alright. Who is it?
Man named Casey Chen. Intelligent guy, not smarter than me, of course. I hired him onto my team of scientists after Anti-Matter's Praetorship was revoked; Chen was on his old team. He'll help you find IVy. Tell him I sent you, what was it again, the whole ideal of orders straight from a Praetor.
You should let me know when she's found. I've already crossed that off my list of things to worry about, but you know, just to be formal about it. Just don't talk to me if I look busy. Which I always am, given what I have to do. So keep it short when you see me again.
Mission Objective(s)
- Speak with Casey Chen
Part Three: Berry's Finest Creation
Who are you? One of the Powers Division, working for Cole? Or for yourself? In the end, it doesn't matter who you're working for now. Eventually, you'll have to face the reality of working under someone who has no idea what they're doing.
What do you want from me?
I need your help in finding IVy. Berry said you would help me.
Berry sent you over to me? It figures. I'm sure he could try to come up with something to find the robot, but it wouldn't work.
Casey Chen lets out a sigh.
It pains me to know that my brilliance is going to forever be shadowed by people like you and Berry, people who are 'special'. Maybe I don't have a suit of power armor, or run at the speed of sound, but I'm just as good as any of you. That's why Berry sent you to me, because deep down inside, he knows I'm better than him. At least Praetor Keyes respected what I had to offer to his team...
Look, do you know where IVy is?
Casey Chen takes out a handheld pad and begins fiddling with it.
This device of mine can help us track down Berry's lost little robot. Let's see...
Hrm, there we go. It looks like the Syndicate have kidnapped the robot and have it stashed away in a secret location. There's a group of Syndicate in an office nearby, led by a woman named Elia Thompson. They probably have IVy somewhere in that office building. If you can take down Elia, we can find out where exactly Berry's toy is. I'll send one of Berry's Clockwork up ahead to help you. I routinely use the Clockwork to get actual work done in Neutropolis, unlike Berry.
Syndicate... of course. Alright, I'm on it.
Mission Objective(s)
You can see a PPD Officer up ahead. It seems the others may have retreated already.
- Save IVy from the Syndicate
- Speak with the PPD Officer
Character! Thank goodness you're here. Don't worry, I for one welcome the help of Powers Division.
The squad I was with had to pull back from the scene. We're trying to capture some members of the Syndicate, mainly Elia Thompson and Bernard Brown. Are you here to give us a hand?
Yes, sort of. Have you seen the android, IVy?
IVy? The android from Neuron's tower? I haven't seen it! It definitely isn't here in this building, I'll tell you that for sure. So look, we need to split up on this one! Do you want to get Elia, or do you want to go after Brown?
It would appear that Casey Chen lied to you. You could either go after Elia Thompson to see why he wants her brought in, or spite him by going after Bernard Brown.
I'm going after Elia Thompson
Alright, I'll call in the others so we can focus on bringing in Brown!
Mission Objective(s)
- Save IVy from the Syndicate
- Arrest Elia Thompson
- Rescue Officer McLawrence (optional)
IVy isn't here. Can Casey Chen really be trusted?
Enemies
- Syndicate
Notable NPCs
- Officer McLawrence (PD non-escort hostage)
- Elia Thompson (Syndicate)
Mission Objective(s)
- Deal with Casey Chen
Part Four: Vendetta
Hello again, Character. You didn't find IVy, did you?
No. What did you want with Elia?
I think you and I are going to be friends, Character. You care about what the people want. You saw that Elia was a member of the Syndicate within Berry's organization, correct? They've managed to sneak into nearly every corporation that this city has. I've known for a while, of course; no one is smart enough to get around my intellect. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do anything about it until you came along.
I've got the information you need on Berry's robot. IVy was kidnapped by a being that calls himself Metronome. He goes around inhabiting Clockwork bodies. You may have heard of him.
Do you know where he took IVy?
That's the thing. Metronome, he's a mix of tech and something else, meaning I can't really track him very well. What I can tell you is that a bunch of Clockwork in a nearby facility just went haywire. This is a classic sign that Metronome is jumping around in them, gathering them up for whatever he wants with IVy. I just went and sent a Clockwork down there to help you with the situation. If you can dismantle the Clockwork in there and stop Metronome from using them, I can hack their data and find out what exactly is going on.
