Information

PPD Liaison to the Magisterium

Sassy and in a perpetual good mood, Cleopatra is more than just Praetor White's girlfriend, she's a high ranking official in Praetoria City's Magisterium.

Since she was a little girl, Cleopatra strove to be as strong a hero as her personal heroes; Praetor Tilman and Emperor Cole. She grew up in a privileged family and had want for nothing, but her drive to become a hero was always at the forefront of her actions. She trained hard and showed great determination. When she was a young woman she registered with the Powers Division, despite lacking any real superhuman talents.

It didn't take long for the rest of her peers to figure out that she didn't need super powers to win a fight against them, just skill and a will to win no matter what. Praetor White recognized a kindred spirit and immediately brought her into his Top Dogs. Though not the strongest, Cleopatra could definitely hold her own. She had to, for to show any weakness would invite the others to tear her down.

Years have passed and Cleopatra is retired from field work. She's taken up an official position working for the Magisterium, and has found love in the most unlikely of places: the heart of a Marauder.

Prior to Introduction

I don't know who you are, suga'. And right now ain't the best time to start gettin' to know strangers, if you catch my drift. If you're on the straight and narrow, then you'll get assigned to work with me.

Initial Contact

So you're Character huh? I hear you're workin' your way up this little ladder in Praetoria. Michael told me a bit about you, that you're part of his little group of pups.

Now suga', don't worry, I ain't meaning that in any sorta bad way.

My name's Cleopatra, and I ain't here to make you jump through hoops for my amusement, like Michael does. I'm here to work together with you to stop whatever is causin' this city to rot. I ain't gonna ask you to do any menial tasks, 'cause that ain't what you got yourself into Powers Division for, is it?

Me and you, suga', we're gonna make a name for ourselves. You ready?

Greeting

Hey there, baby. You lost?

Story Arc

Organized Crusaders

Souvenir

Loyalist Health Insurance

You received a card granting you the best health insurance that a citizen in Praetoria can have - not that you necessarily need it. Looking at the card reminds you of an adventure called...

Organized Crusaders

It began when you met Cleopatra, Praetor White's girlfriend. She was trying to hunt down traitors hidden within the ranks of the PPD. She explained to you that there was an extremist group within the Resistance called 'Crusaders' and that they may have moles within the Loyalists ranks. You went into a police precinct to plant bugs on three possible suspects.

There was very quick turnaround - you found out that Officer Pell was going to meet with the Resistance at a warehouse belonging to Troy Altman. The plan was to steal various explosives meant for construction. You were able to disrupt the meeting but the Resistance had already made off with the explosives. You also found out that the Syndicate were working with the Resistance, supplying the group with weaponry. Cleopatra helped you in finding where exactly the Resistance was stowing the weapons, but again, you arrived just in time to find out that the explosives were already planted throughout the city.

You rushed through the city, disarming various bombs that the Resistance had planted, only to find out that the main Resistance plot was to bomb the Cole Memorial Hospital!

Without any time to lose, you quickly made your way to the hospital, defeating all of the Resistance and Syndicate members in the hospital and disarming all of the bombs.

The day was saved, thanks to you and Cleopatra - though TPN reported that you were working together with Praetor Sinclair to disarm the bombs. Despite the inaccuracy of the news report having Sinclair steal your thunder, the workers at the hospital were grateful for your help, giving you a free pass to come and go in the hospital as you pleased.

Part One: What Has This Place Become?

So suga', I know that you're all-knowin' about the Resistance and all that, but how much do you know?

Did you know them folks in the Resistance have their own little war going on? S'right, two little factions, Wardens and Crusaders. Now Wardens, they're the cats without claws, you don't gotta worry yourself one bit about them. Crusaders, though, they're dangerous. They'll do whatever it takes to take down Emperor Cole - even if it means killin' everyone around us. I don't know about you, suga', but I like bein' alive.

Problem we have right now is that I got word from on high some of these Crusaders might have gone and infiltrated the PPD. That's bad news all around, 'cause if they got themselves inside information, there's no tellin' how many people are gonna die.

So we got ourselves some traitors to weed out, suga'.

I'm all set. Do you have any posible leads?

You bet I do, or else I wouldn't be talkin' to you 'bout this.

I got my suspicions that someone within the PPD here in Nova is our little turncoat.

Here, take these listening devices.I need you to be plantin' these devices on the computers of three suspected traitors in that PPD precinct. Now it ain't gonna be as easy as just walking up to their computers and plantin' it. We gotta make sure that our little traitor isn't in the know about our plan, you understand?

Here's some documents givin' some backgrond on each of our suspects. You can use the info here to lure 'em away from their computers. You've gotta make sure none of them traitors see you plantin' this bug on their computers. You might wanna snoop around the precinct for any additional information you can go and use to get 'em movin'.

Cleopatra hands you the files on the officers suspected of treason.

Unsolicited Contact

Now come on suga', this ain't hard. Someone like yourself can do this easy, better than Michael could. He'd just walk in and kill everyone in there, if it meant findin' one traitor.

Mission Objective(s)

The PPD Precinct is bustling with activity. Normal citizens wouldn't be allowed to wander the area - good thing members of Powers Division get a free pass.

• Plant bugs in the PPD Precinct
  • Distract Officer Chance, Distract Officer Shanning, Distract Officer Pell

You've planted the bugs. Now to get back to Cleopatra to see if she'll be able to find anything in the meantim

• Use the clues provided as appropriate to distract each officer.

Debriefing

Good job on buggin' them desks, suga'. Now we just gotta play the old waitin' game to see which one of our boys is the real traitor...

You have a phone on you, tiger? Call me if you need to talk, 'k baby? Just don't let Michael know you have my number, he gets jealous easily.

Part Two: You're the Monster

Hey suga', it looks like we got ourselves a catch from that bait we set out.

Looks like our boy is Officer Pell. He's been slippin' info to some guy named Grossman. Now I ain't heard of a Crusader named Grossman, so I think this is another one of the Resistance's undercover agents. Accordin' to the computer, the little backstabber is organizin' a raid on a supply warehouse belongin' to Troy Altman. That's bad news for us, 'cause that warehouse contains explosives that Altman was plannin' on usin' to tear down some old buildings in Neutropolis!

I'll get over there before they can get away.

S'why I'm feelin' good about the two of us workin' together, suga', you got yourself drive to protect the people in this here city.

You get down there and stop them Resistance from scamperin' off with those bombs. I'll see if I can get some of my boys to bust into Altman's ball to arrest Pell for the little traitor that he is.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You don't need to worry about things on my end, suga', you just need to make sure you're able to take care of things with the Resistance in Altman's warehouse.

Mission Objective(s)

Something doesn't seem right. There's no sign of the usual brute force the Resistance uses to break into buildings. The break in seems much too... refined.

• Stop the raid on Altman's warehouse
  • Deal with Grossman
  • Defeat Officer Pell

You broke up a Syndicate gathering. Return to Cleopatra.

Enemies

Syndicate

• Grossman (Syndicate Suit)
• Officer Pell (Praetorian Police Senior Officer)

Officer Pell Discussion

Officer Pell

Officer Pell coughs, trying to regain his composure.

H-hold on... just... hold on... ! I'll... tell you whatever you want to know...

What are you doing working for the Syndicate?

Hah... the Syndicate... Cole thought he could wipe crime away. But now, they're stronger than ever. Smarter... better... they're better than us!

They work in the shadows, but soon, soon they'll bring Cole down. They're everywhere, Kerian!

They're not taking over through sheer brute force, like the Resistance, they're taking over from the inside!

Can't you see? Soon they'll all be controlling Cole, he'll have no choice but to follow them!

Not if I have anything to say about it.

It's too late to stop them now, Kerian. They're working together with the Resistance... they're going to move forward with the biggest plot to date.

The explosives here... they're going to put on a big show in Nova. In Cole Memorial Hospital. Ask yourself, Kerian... how will the people look at Cole... if they see their beloved hospital go up in flames?

He won't be their protector anymore, their savior... they'll see Cole for who he really is... that he's just a man! No matter how powerful he becomes, he is still just a man!

And all men, Kerian, must eventually be brought down.

Your out of your mind! Blowing up a hospital to prove a point?

Don't you try to say... that I'm some sort of psychopath, that I'm a monster!

Do you know how many people Cole has killed on a weekly basis, just to protect his utopia?! Lives of innocents will be lost, that much is true... but we will free the people of this city from the grip of Cole! We will give them what they long for - freedom!

If this were a true war, a war that was fought in the open, those people in the hospital would GLADLY give their lives to see our ideals come to life! But since we fight from the shadows, we must make that choice for them.

It's not too late for you though, Kerian. You can still help us, you can still join us!

I'm here to protect the people of Praetoria, Pell. Unlike you.

The people?! Bah!

The people have become mindless sheep to a super-powered shepherd! The people you're looking to protect are nothing but toys that Cole uses for his own amusement!

You think I'm a monster, but you, you Kerian, you're the real monster for siding with Cole!

So just go ahead, finish me off. I know how the system works.

I won't be left alive for treason against the state, so just finish me off here and now.

• It's not my place to sentence you. Your fellow officers will be here to do that.

You're just delaying my fate, Kerian! You had better pray that I don't escape... if I do... I'll find you. I swear I'll find you and stop at least one more of Cole's dogs!

I'll be waiting, Pell.

• You made the decision to do this, Pell. You leave me no choice! (Kill Pell)

Mission Objective(s)

• Tell Cleopatra about the bomb plot

Briefing

Hey there suga', what happened? I sent some boys of mine to the ball, but they said Pell wasn't there.

Pell's with the PPD now. He was working for the Syndicaye, not Resistance.

You explain to Cleopatra the events that happened within the warehouse.

You're a better person than me, suga', I woulda ripped Pell's head off then and there. But I guess that's what makes us different. Regardless, we got ourselves a little job to do - savin' that hospital.

Let's get to work.

Debriefing

We got ourselves tons of trouble, suga', and it ain't gonna get any better.

You sit yourself tight right there, I'm gonna see if I can't find out where exactly those members of the Resistance took our little bombs.

Part Three: Five Minutes to Detonation

Suga', things are goin' from bad to worse. We got word that the Syndicate already delivered all them bombs to those Crusader boys in the Resistance.

Now, I got myself a little idea of where they could be in the tunnels, but I ain't givin' you a guarantee that you'll find somethin' down there, suga'. You're gonna have to go down there and destroy any sorta thing that looks like they might be usin' for bombs.

Also I got word that the gal leadin' the charge goes by the name of Poster Gal. We catch her, we can put a stop to this bombin' plot before it gets started.

Thanks for the information. I'll make sure to stop this here and now.

I know you will, suga'. We're gonna make sure that Cole's little hospital won't be getting blown up by those lunatics. I'm one for free speech and all, but blowin' up a hospital just to prove a point? I don't wanna live in a world where those kinds of people are considered the 'good guys'.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You take care of things on your end, suga', and I'll handle anything that comes up here.

Mission Objective(s)

• Stop the Resistance Bombing Plot
