Initial Contact

Hello, Character. We both have little time, so I will be brief. My name is Dark Watcher, and I am here to help turn the tide of this war with the Resistance. When you and I have finished, I believe the future will look much brighter for us all.

Greeting

• We stand on the brink of destruction, Character.
• Our actions today will help more people than you can imagine, Character.

A Promise for a New Tomorrow

Part One: Lending a Hand

Character, if we're going to turn the tide of the battle against Cole, we're going to need to convince Longbow to join the side of the Resistance. Many Longbow have a stigma against Praetorians. They believe they're all out to destroy life as they know it on Primal Earth. Only a few Longbow have joined the Resistance to help them, though what those few have done has helped incredibly.

What you must do is help show Longbow that not all Praetorians are evil, that many of them are fighting the fight that they themselves claim to be in. If the Resistance and Longbow do not unite, I fear that Cole and his regime will easily wipe all of our groups out in one fell swoop.

Sounds reasonable. What's the first plan?

It would be a series of plans, Character. There is a Longbow prisoner that the PPD are currently keeping in one of their facilities. They are going to transport the prisoner to the area you call the Behavioral Adjustment Facility in Imperial City. If this is done, I do believe that is the last we will see of that prisoner.

Saving this man will go a long way towards gaining Longbow's trust, though I fear it will not be enough. The prisoner will be the first of many steps towards gaining the support of the group.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Saving that prisoner will help gain Longbow's support. Time is of the essence, Character.

Mission Objective(s)

The PPD are keeping the Longbow prisoner somewhere in this lab. Helping him will go a long way towards gaining Longbow's support in the war against Cole.

• Save the Longbow Prisoner

You saved the Longbow prisoner!

Enemies

• Praetorian Police

Notable NPCs

• Longbow Prisoner (Longbow Minion, non-escort Hostage)

Longbow Prisoner dialogue

Before Combat:

Longbow Prisoner: I'm never telling you anything! You hear me!

PPD Trooper: We don't want you to say anything. The squad over in the BAF will take care of that.

PPD Trooper: Powers Division? Wait... you're with the Resistance!

Longbow Prisoner: A Praetorian? Stay away!

---

Upon Rescue:

You're... Helping me?

Maybe you're all not so bad.

I'm going back to base. There's a squad of ours stuck in the tunnels.

If you can help them, we'll see about supporting the Resistance.

Debriefing

Things with the prisoner went well. Already Longbow is beginning to murmur about 'good' Praetorians. You'll have to excuse their ignorance.

Mission Objective(s)

It seems that the PPD and T.E.S.T have cornered the remains of the Longbow squad here.

• Rescue the Longbow Squad
  • 3 Longbow Nullifiers to rescue
  • Defeat the head TEST Provost

You've helped to recover the Longbow team!

Enemies

• Praetorian Police

Notable NPCs

• 3 x Longbow Nullifier (Hostages/Allies)

Mission Objective(s)

This facility is well guarded by the Praetorian T.E.S.T. You'll have to be careful while going through it.

• Recover information with Agent X
  • Hack into the network to get the information

You've found vital information that Longbow can use!

Unnecessary Solicitation

Agent X is a capable operative within Longbow. His aid means that Longbow is slowly starting to come around to the cause of the Resistance.

Enemies

• Praetorian Police
• T.E.S.T.

Notable NPCs

• Agent X (Longbow)

Agent X is a renowned Longbow super-spy. His technical skills are phenomenal, with a gadget or gizmo available for any occasion.

Agent X dialogue

Start of mission:

Good to have you aboard, Character.

I've put out the word that we need to start working together with the Resistance.

This little operation of ours will be the first of many.

---

About T.E.S.T. troops:

These guys are good, more proficient than a lot of soldiers in Longbow.

...

These guys sure do think a lot of themselves. Is that how the supers are in Powers Division?

...

We need to push forward, I've seen too many Longbow be taken prisoner by these guys.

---

Later on:

If we're going to win this thing, we'll need more help from Primal Earth, I'll tell you that much.

...

When this is all over, I'll make sure Longbow sees that there are Praetorians who want to help overthrow Tyrant.

...

Your fight is our fight. Just remember that, when the time comes.

---

After hacking the computer:
This is... not good. I'll report back to my superiors about this.

Debriefing

It seems that Longbow is growing more trustworthy of you now, Character. Well, I should be more specific, more trusting of Praetorians in general. More Longbow are beginning to emerge to help the Resistance. Our main issue now is the various Longbow cells surviving the long journey through the ghoul infested tunnels. That is a problem you can let me handle, however.

Our main concern right now is discovering the rest of that data you found. The term 'Phalanx' there refers to a hero team on Primal Earth called the Freedom Phalanx. It seems Cole is planning something that will wipe out everyone that stands against him in Primal Earth. We need to figure out what that is and put a stop to it, or else the Resistance will never gain the firepower it so desperately needs to take down Cole.
