Information
Undercover Ministry of Intelligence operative in the Syndicate
Chance McKnight is one of the most dedicated officers in the Ministry of Intelligence. He's taken on the responsibility of going undercover into the Syndicate, doing questionable acts that go against everything he believes in in order to get a chance to accomplishing something greater; the arrest of the Syndicate's shadowy leaders. For the past six months McKnight has worked his way up the ladder of leadership and is very close to accomplishing his goal.
Prior to Introduction
You tryin' to get me killed?
Initial Contact
Welcome to the gray before the black, Character. You can't judge what we do here, only the results. To do so would compromise everything we are working for and jeopardize us all.
The best thing to do is forget everything you know and just do what it takes to survive. That's the mentality of the people we're infiltrating, they have no greater aspirations than to elevate themselves over others. You will need to embrace that ideology if you hope to get to the top of the Syndicate... or rather, a fragment of what was once the Syndicate.
It's an all out war, and we're in the middle of it. I'm already deep into the organization, but follow my lead and we'll do well together.

Story Arc
Corp Wars
Souvenir
Part One: Stepping Stones
There's a war raging, Character. A war between the mega-corps, a war within the Syndicate.
I have orders that now is the time to strike. We're going to lop the heads off the Syndicate hydra and put an end to the Syndicate once and for all. You, Kerian, are going to be our sword.
Put and end to the Syndicate
Right now the Syndicate bosses are desperate for an edge against their rivals. Some of them are working with the Resistance and members of Powers Division sympathetic to those terrorists. I want you to go undercover, like me, and take on the role of a Resistance sympathizer in Powers Division. It won't be easy being undercover. You're going to have to do a lot of things you wouldn't normally do, but it's all for the greater good.
Before I can introduce you to my boss you're going to have to prove your worth to him. I need you to enter Wade Industries and do as much damage as you can.
Byron Wade is one of Octavian's top lieutenants, so taking him out will definitely prove your worth.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Get in, and get out quick. Wade is not small time. He will have an army of Syndicate goons to defend him.
Mission Objective(s)
You've been in the building less than a minute and already you've felt the sensation of several psychics mentally scanning you.
- Attack Wade Industries
- Eliminate Byron Wade
- Reinforcements arrive in 5 minutes!
- Find Mission Exit
You eliminated Byron Wade, landing a telling strike against Octavian's Syndicate forces.
Enemies
Debriefing
Word is moving fast. Wade has been taken out by an unknown Powers Division member working for the Resistance. My phone has been buzzing like crazy.
Listen, here's my phone number. Call me from now on. I'm worried that Octavian or Masamoto's men might track you back to me and take me out since they can't seem to take you down.
Part Two: The Chain of Command
I told my boss, Richard Jones, that I know who is responsible for that strike, and he wants to meet you.
Talk to Jones and do whatever he asks, even if he orders you to kill me. He's simply testing your loyalty.
Remember that, loyalty and honor are a big deal for the Syndicate, or at least, were. That's partly what this whole schism in their oraganization is about, honor.
Talk to the Richard Jones.
Jones is high up in the Syndicate, as high up as I could make contact at any rate. I have no clue how far from the top he actually is, but trying to find information about anyone above him is like shining a light into a black hole. There's just nothing.
Remember, Kerian, you're acting as a Resistance sympathizer in Powers Division. Act the part or we'll both end up like Noble.
James Noble went deep undercover into the Resistance. He was easily the best cop on the force, but all his training, skill, and let's face it, luck, didn't matter a lick. Word has it he slipped up with their lingo, totally gave himself away. They never found his body.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Jones is waiting for you. I'm not sure keeping him waiting is a good idea, but maybe you are trying to work another angle. I leave it up to you.
Mission Objective(s)
- Talk to Richard Jones
Mission Objective(s)
The facility looks fairly legit, on the surfac
- Raid Masamoto's Chemical Lab
- Eliminate Everyone in the Lab
You eliminated all the Syndicate personnel in one of Masamoto's labs. That should put a significant dent in his man-power.
Enemies
Praetorian Clockwork
Syndicate
- Anderson (Syndicate Suit)
Mission Objective(s)
- Return to Richard Jones
Debriefing
Jones called me and let me know that his first impression of you was good. Buzz in the Syndicate ranks say that Masamoto was delivered a crippling blow. I assume that was what Jones had you doing.
Just a heads up, Jones mentioned that I'll soon get my chance at vengeance against Masamoto. I'm not sure if he mentioned it, but Jones brought in most of Tatsuri's men after we were made road ronin by Tatsuri's untimely assassination. It's part of what sparked this whole war in the first place.
I have a feeling I'm going to get tapped by Jones to lead a direct attack on Masamoto himself, you're likely to get called in on that as well.
Part Three: It's Raining Lead
Just got a call from Jones. Masamoto just started an attack on Octavian's forces. Looks like he thinks Octavian betrayed him. Jones told me to get the remnants of Tatsuri's men ready, we're going in to attack Masamoto now.
We're going in with some heavy firepower. Other than Masamoto, Jones wants no survivors.
Attack Masomoto
Kerian, keep an eye out. There's more going on here than we know. Jones wants Masamoto's forces decimated, but he specifically wants us to take Masamoto alive. I protested this course of action, but he assured me that Masamoto's blood would be on my hands soon enough.
The only reason I could see for this course of action is that Masamoto knows something of critical importance and they need him to talk. The Syndicate leadership sits in a deep shadow, Kerian, and I can't see who is pulling the strings. I think there is more to this war than just a difference of opinion over whether or not to ally with the Resistance. Something big is going on.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Whenever you're ready, let's storm the place.

Briefing
...
How can I serve you, Mr. Tang?
Vengeance, and justice, Kerian.
A very wise man once asked me if I knew the difference between them?
I thought I did, but his wisdom was profound. Shall I tell you what he told me?
If it pleases you, Mr. Tang.
Justice is given, vengeance is earned.
Some people are worthy of neither, but only the most exceptional individuals are worthy of both.
Do you understand this?
I believe so, Mr. Tang.
Good.
There is a dog in the next room. To your eyes he may appear to be a man, but in your heart you will see him as an animal. I say this because he is the honorless dog that betrayed and killed Tatsuri.
What do you wish me to do?
Show him vengeance, show him justice, and then show him the most powerful act of all... mercy.
As you wish.
Briefing
...
I have done as you said, Mr. Tang.
Do you know why I had you show Masamoto mercy, Kerian?
I admit, I am unsure.
I was once shown mercy when I was deserving of only vengeance.
My master made sure that I would remember well his lesson of mercy, and so he took my eye.
But he gave me so much more in return.
Mr. Tang?
My master's profound insight unlocked within me my true potential. His act of mercy indebted me to his most righteous path and I have served him since that day.
When it came time for him to exact justice against those who wished him dead, he gave them one last chance to avert their doom, just as he had me. Thus was born the Syndicate
Those that refused... They were not deserving of mercy.
Why are you telling me this, Mr. Tang?
This war is barbaric. Some believe we have lost our way by joining forces with the Resistance. But the decision was not their choice to make.
It is my duty to bring order back to the Syndicate. To do that, I must fight from the moral high ground of honor and compassion. We must show our enemies mercy, and hope that justice can be served without the dirty business of vengeance.
You are indeed a wise man.
My wisdom is not as profound as my Master's, but his lessons have not gone unheard. The true threat to the Syndicate is not the Resistance or the emperor, it is the blind selfishness that festers in the heart of men like Octavian.
We have no choice but to prune the bansai of its rotten leaves and what remains shall once more be pure.
Octavian must die, so that the Syndicate may live.
What do you wish me to do?
Report back to Richard Jones. Inform him that Masamoto has confirmed that Octavian shall receive no mercy for what he has done.
Mission Objective(s)
- Report back to Jones
You met with Tub Ci Tang, Mr. Richard Jones' boss. You are now one step removed from the head of the Syndicate, but the shadows still conceal his identity.
Debriefing
What did you learn? Who is Jones' boss?
Tub Ci Tang? But that man has been dead for years!
Kerian, we're moving into very dangerous waters here. Octavian is the only obstacle that remains keeping the Syndicate divided. If we are to destroy this beast then we will have to find out who the leader of the Syndicate is and eliminate him, Tub Ci Tang, and Octavian all within a very small window of time. Once the Syndicate has been reconstituted I'm afraid that the leader of the Syndicate may fade back into the shadows once more.
I'll have the Ministry dig up everything they can on Tub Ci Tang and see if we can find out how we didn't know he's been alive these past ten years.
