| '''Resistance Dictionary'''
| | {{Mission:Justifying the Means - Part One: Lost in Translation}} |
| | | {{Mission:Justifying the Means - Part Two: Robo Clean Up}} |
| You have a small dictionary of [[Resistance]] words, each of their definitions more like guesses to what they mean. It reminds you of your first encounter with the Ricochet of the Resistance in an experience called...
| | {{Mission:Justifying the Means - Part Three: My Choice}} |
| | |
| '''Justifying the Means '''
| |
| | |
| It began with a confusing talk with Ricochet, who apparently told you to go plant some fake bombs in [[Nova Praetoria]]. [[Jack Hammer]] explained to you the plan - you were going to plant some poison bombs in Nova, while another member of the Resistance, Rothstein, was captured. A tracker would be planted on Rothstein to see where he and the bombs would be brought. Once all that was done, you would attack the location, activate the bombs, and walk away without anything pointing towards you.
| |
| | |
| After setting the bombs in Nova, you helped out Team Bravo per Ricochet's request - they were recovering information for a woman named [[Splice]]. You helped the team and found out they were looking for [[Marauder]]'s...day planner.
| |
| | |
| Ricochet's next request was to destroy a warehouse full of [[Praetorian Clockwork|Clockwork]] - they would be used to quickly siphon any poison that might be released into the [[Praetorian Police Department|PPD]] lab you would be attacking. The job was easy enough to perform, setting up the final stage of the plan.
| |
| | |
| You casually walked into the PPD lab, with the officials there none the wiser. With your gas mask in hand, you activated the poison gas and watched as all the members of the PPD collapsed around you.
| |
| | |
| Ricochet was thrilled when you returned to her, saying that this was just the first step of many towards bringing down the PPD. At least, that's what you think she said.

| |
| | |
| Not my glitch though, you can work on your dazzle stars later, right now I need you to Johnny Appleseed these bangwiches around pleasantville without getting chomped or scamped. Can you dig that ditch?
| |

| Hey, {{Character}}, right? Good to have you on board, the name's [[Jack Hammer]]. You need something?
| |
| | |
| {{green|I need a hand, I'm trying to understand this woman, Ricochet...}}
| |
| | |
| Ricochet? Yeah, she can be tough to understand sometimes. What was it that she told you, roughly?
| |
| | |
| {{green|(Explain what Ricochet said)}}
| |
| | |
| Gah...I hate this Resistance talk sometimes, always making sure no one up top is understanding us.
| |
| | |
| :{{green|Can you just tell me what she said?}} | |
| | |
| :She want you to plant some bombs up topside. They're not ''real'' bombs - they're filled with {{darkorange|poison gas}}. This is all part of our big plan. If Ricochet has got you doin' this, you deserve to know what's going on.

| :One of our boys, {{yellow|Rothstein}}, cracked the other day, saw his entire family killed by some Powers Division. He came up with this whole plan - we plant some nerve gas bombs around Nova, the PPD picks it up while also arresting him.

I've got someone I think you should meet.
You've done a lot of hard cuttin' for us down here, Character, Splicey-gal's been chatterin' 'bout'cha. Says she's got somethin' real big she wants to jaw with you about.
Yeah, I think you're gonna be smooth sailin' down the coast with Splicey.
Information
Resistance freedom fighter
From her broad smile and the splash of crazy in her eyes, to her dizzying speech pattern and signature pink PPD helmet, everything about Ricochet is memorable. She earned her name like most of the others do in the Crusaders: by how she got her first kill. In Ricochet's case, rumor has it, she let off a blind shot during her first engagement which ricocheted off of a PPD power field and ruptured a high pressure fuel tank. The resulting explosion took out the entire PPD squad, saving the lives of her comrades.
The other story is that the bullet ricocheted into her head.

Looks like we've managed to give Tyrant a tasty cup of punch, if you know what I'm saying. For now, we wait and see how he and his goldilocks are going to react. I'll let you know if I need any more of your help.

Justifying the Means
Souvenir
Resistance Dictionary
You have a small dictionary of Resistance words, each of their definitions more like guesses to what they mean. It reminds you of your first encounter with the Ricochet of the Resistance in an experience called...
Justifying the Means
It began with a confusing talk with Ricochet, who apparently told you to go plant some fake bombs in Nova Praetoria. Jack Hammer explained to you the plan - you were going to plant some poison bombs in Nova, while another member of the Resistance, Rothstein, was captured. A tracker would be planted on Rothstein to see where he and the bombs would be brought. Once all that was done, you would attack the location, activate the bombs, and walk away without anything pointing towards you.
After setting the bombs in Nova, you helped out Team Bravo per Ricochet's request - they were recovering information for a woman named Splice. You helped the team and found out they were looking for Marauder's...day planner.
Ricochet's next request was to destroy a warehouse full of Clockwork - they would be used to quickly siphon any poison that might be released into the PPD lab you would be attacking. The job was easy enough to perform, setting up the final stage of the plan.
You casually walked into the PPD lab, with the officials there none the wiser. With your gas mask in hand, you activated the poison gas and watched as all the members of the PPD collapsed around you.
Ricochet was thrilled when you returned to her, saying that this was just the first step of many towards bringing down the PPD. At least, that's what you think she said.
Part One: Lost in Translation
Briefing
You ever mushroomed a badger den, slamcakes? It's a blast! Get it?
Stamp some wisdom, chomper, know what I'm sayin'?
Gah. Sometimes I just can't read your subtitles, chomperuskie.
Not my glitch though, you can work on your dazzle stars later, right now I need you to Johnny Appleseed these bangwiches around pleasantville without getting chomped or scamped. Can you dig that ditch?
Just plant the 'splodies around town and wait for me to ring-a-ding you. B-team might need your charity, know what I'm sayin'?
Ask someone what exactly Ricochet said
Unnecessary Solicitation
What's the flaw popper-rinsky?
Mission Objective(s)
- Ask someone what exactly Ricochet said.
Briefing
Hey, Character, right? Good to have you on board, the name's Jack Hammer. You need something?
- I need a hand, I'm trying to understand this woman, Ricochet...
Ricochet? Yeah, she can be tough to understand sometimes. What was it that she told you, roughly?
- (Explain what Ricochet said)
Gah...I hate this Resistance talk sometimes, always making sure no one up top is understanding us.
- What do you mean, Resistance talk?
- Resistance talk, you know? Speakin' like you're a slammer, or like you saw someone get chomped. It's the way things go 'round here.
- Well why do you talk like that?
- Might as well tell an owl who you are and get on with your day. But I'll keep the talk simple for you since you ain't used to it yet.
- ...great. So what about Ricochet?
- This selection loops to another branch of this conversation which is already documented. (A)
- Got it, so what about Ricochet?
- This selection loops to another branch of this conversation which is already documented. (A)
- Can you just tell me what she said? (A)
- She want you to plant some bombs up topside. They're not real bombs - they're filled with poison gas. This is all part of our big plan. If Ricochet has got you doin' this, you deserve to know what's going on.
- One of our boys, Rothstein, cracked the other day, saw his entire family killed by some Powers Division. He came up with this whole plan - we plant some nerve gas bombs around Nova, the PPD picks it up while also arresting him.
- We have him bugged to see where they bring him and the gas, then one of us walks up on that place and springs the trap! Gas it all, send them PPD to their graves!
- All this though is gonna be triggered by you plantin' those bombs. All clear now?

You really gave those golden boys a kick in the pantaloons and while they were seeing dandelions you snatched the honey and took off with the B's.
I'm gonna spit it, but only this once; you've impressed me, curly fries!
Marauder's planner? Yeah, old loner loo Splice was all grabby about oggling over it, spoke some jibber about it bein' the king's catch or somethin' like that, you know?

- ...I'm dancing with what?
You got this!
Ricochet points out a location on a map of Nova - a warehouse where the PPD keep Clockwork.

They ain't gonna make a fist seein' you, since you got that stamp of Powers Division.
Ricochet hands you a gas mask.
Ya just put this thing after gettin' the happy gas started and make sure them badgers don't try comin' back to life. Everyone's gonna say goodnight tonight!
- Alright, and what about Rothstein?
Rothstein? Rothstein flew the coop! Went nuts after the whole ball and chain got yanked and cracked, wanted this to be the swang song of his ballet.
He ain't wantin' to come back for a sequel, you got me? So you ain't gotta worry about signing any new deals with him, 'cause he is out for good.
