Part Three: Stronger Than Family
Briefing
When someone becomes a member of Project Phoenix, they swear an oath. An oath to follow my every command. This is not because I am some... power freak, like White or Keyes. No, this is done because I know what is best for the members of Project Phoenix. I am, in many ways, their father. Every single member of Project Phoenix must give up their own life when they join, adopting the name I give them. Belladonna was my Phoenix, until she betrayed me.
The current man we hunt is named Gorgon. He was once a member of the Syndicate, someone weak, someone petty, less than a man. I made him into something greater, into something legendary. But, like all the other members, he has succumbed to the lies of Belladonna. Like a son turned against a father by a traitorous sister.
I know the location of Gorgon. He has gone to meet with his former brother-in-arms, a brother who was suppossed to have shed when he joined Project Phoenix. I have done you the honor of informing TPN that you believe this new group may be part of the Syndicate, and that you plan to storm one of their main offices with help of the fish named Riptide.
- Sounds like you've gone and planned out everything, Sinclair.
That is the best way to handle things, Character. Careful planning, careful control. It prevents chaos, anarchy and other things that can lead to... undesired consequences. Riptide will be waiting for you in the office building. Show Gorgon no mercy, Character, and make sure to bring down his brother. The man is now wanted for many crimes within Imperial City, thanks to our mutual friend, Praetor Tilman.
Unnecessary Solicitation
I would accompany you myself, Character, but things are beginning to get rather problematic with Praetor Tilman.
Mission Objective(s)
The guards at the door quickly walked away when you entered. They seem to know that a fight is soon to come.
- Bring down Gorgon and Adept Pham
- Defeat Adept Pham, Defeat Gorgon
You've put down Gorgon and Adept Pham.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Riptide (Ally)
- Adept Pham (Syndicate Sword Master) (Boss)
- Gorgon (Praetorians (Enemy Group) Gorgon) (Boss)
- These trained killers were once part of Project Phoenix, following every order given to them by Praetor Sinclair. They now seek freedom from Sinclair at any cost.
 |
Gorgon's Last Words |
| Gorgon collapsed to the ground and looked up to you. He removed his mask and uttered these final words...
So... Sinclair refused to let me go... he never could stand someone... going against his plans, having a will of their own. His eyes show no fear... but his plans, his movements, they show it all. He is terrified... terrified of losing control, losing his grasp on reality. Such a man... I could never continue to serve. I have... no regrets in my death... I can only... be happy that... I lived my last moments... free from him. |
Debriefing
It is too bad that things had to end like this with Gorgon. He was a promising student, one who I rescued from mediocrity. If it were not for me, he would have spent his life licking the boots of those above him in the Syndicate, the boots of those who would never dare to get their hands dirty. No, I made Gorgon into something greater than he was before. Or, perhaps, I thought I did. His betrayal shows that clearly he was too weak to meet my standards in the first place. Unlike you, Character. Everything you have done up to this point has proven to me that you are a man / woman who has the ability to know what you want and take it. You do not doubt yourself, you do not question your motives. That is a very powerful aspect to have. Very powerful.
TPN is running reports about your actions against Adept Pham and Gorgon. They hail it as your next blow against the 'mysterious group' that is arising. It is all too easy to control the people, Character, to make them think what you think. That is what makes them both a very powerful and very dangerous resource. Powerful in that they are easy to control, dangerous in that those people who are less than men can also control them. I should warn you now, Character, not to rely on the praise of people to get you power for too long. It is best for you to rely upon me. If we work together, I can help you become something far greater than you could ever imaginate.
