About this contact

Culteral Direction and Education Center Mentor

Consultant Phinneas Rupert is both an educator and a stalwart champion of the recycling cause. His vast knowledge of Salvage and its uses are highly sought out all over Praetoria, both as an educator and as an activist. Phinneas is a relative newcomer to the CDEC family, but his quirky personality and fervent loyalty to Emperor Cole has made him a most welcome and valued employee as well as an ideal mentor for the citizens of Praetoria.

Initial Contact

Do you realize how incredibly lucky you are to have a moment with me, Character? Ever since we implemented the Inventions Program I have been inundated by Praetorians wishing to learn more about Salvage.

Missions

Loyalist

Resistance

This exercise focuses on the splendid world of Salvage. There are five types of Salvage, but the most common is invention. Invention Salvage is used to create many types of items. Isn't that exciting?

Is anyone watching? Just listen, don't talk. I'm a Resistance Operative. If you don't know who we are yet, you're living under a rock. Wait, hang on.

There are different Rarities of Salvage, which translates to how often or rarely you find certain types of Salvage. The three Rarities are: Common, Uncommon, and Rare. The color of the name and the information listed in the Information Bar will tell you exactly how common (or rare) your Salvage is.

Just follow along. I have a task for you, but let me get through this charade first.

How will you carry all of these new items? You have an entire inventory dedicated to Salvage. The amount of Salvage pieces that you can carry is limited at first, but as you increase in Level, that will grow somewhat. The Imperial Bank of Cole, located in Nova Praetoria, Imperial City, and Neutropolis, can also hold your Invention Salvage.

You can sell your Salvage to any store in Praetoria. You cannot buy it there, but you can sell it. You can even sell it to other Praetorians if you make your way over to the Trading House.

Ignore that part. You want to buy and sell? Go to the Resistance Hub in the Underground. They'll hook you up.

And now, I have an activity for you. Go search the bookshelves, find more information on Salvage, and come back to me when you're done. I want to find out all the ways you've learned about Salvage.

And pay attention to the margins...

Research Salvage in the Book Stacks

Don't tarry, now! This activity is for your good! Research Salvage and give me feedback on your learning experience.

Mission Objective(s)

• Research Salvage

You find the required reading materials among the volumes in the bookcase, and a little bit more.

Salvage Manual

You sift through the textbook upon Consultant Rupert's recommendation. It's a wealth of information on Salvage, of course, but you quickly notice red markings in the margins:

Don't drink the water and don't buy into the Cole hype, Chomper.

Mission Objective(s)

• Return with feedback on Salvage

You talk with Rupert.

Briefing

Well, let's hear your report!

I have an extra job for you. While you're getting your materials, you need to swap out that nauseating Cole propaganda with our Resistance brochures and posters. I've had a few other messengers nearly trip into trouble in the past so be careful! If you get caught, I don't know you.

Here, take this box. It's got all the stuff you need.

Now that we've talked about how important Invention Salvage is in creating things that can benefit Praetoria and, of course, give Emperpor Cole reason to smile, let us move on the next exercise. I have a task for you. Just a quick bit of retrieval, it'll take you no time at all.

Now march yourself over to the Distribution Center and pick up a few pieces of Salvage for me. Off you go now. Here's your list. Quickly, quickly, like a bunny.

Don't forget the switch
