Introductions

Contact Introduced By

Contact Introduces

I've got someone I think you should meet.

I want you to talk to a guy down at M.I.C.I.R. by the name of Parson. Real bright guy, has helped me crack more than a few cases that stumped everyone else. He's a big robotics buff. He's been working some cases on hacked Clockwork, I figure he could use your help, especially when it comes to getting those Clockwork out of Resistance hands in order to study them.

This contact I've introduced you to can probably move you along down the path you've chosen.

Information

Interrogator

Ray Kang was on the Praetoria Police force day one. He's seen it all, from the revelry in the aftermath of the Hamidon Wars, through the reconstruction efforts, the birth of the Seer Program, the rise of the Syndicate, and the arrival of the Destroyers and Resistance. Kang has watched his city transform from utopia to warzone and he will do whatever it takes and sacrifice whatever is needed to return it to the utopia he helped build.

Initial Contact

My name is Kang, Raymond Kang. I work for the Ministry of Intelligence as an interrogator. Ask around - when I have a question, it gets answered.

But hey, I've got way more important things to talk about than myself.

Greeting

  • Hello there, what have you been up to lately?

Too Busy

Too Low Level

I'm working a dangerous case. Character, come back when you're Security Level 8.

No More Missions

I don't need your help right now, Character. I've got a lot of 'clients' I need to meet with, but if anything alarming comes from our conversations, I'll be sure to get in touch with you.

Part One: Hush, Little Girl

Some sicko is wandering the streets. It likes to cut things, and it's taken a liking to cutting up on Seers. TPN nicknamed him Cutter Cain, but nothing so far indicates that this monster is male, or a man for that matter.

The PPD have been spinning their wheels for weeks on this case, Character. Forty Seers missing... but only two dozen bodies have shown up, so far. Cain's holding them somewhere, and then dumping the bodies around the city when it's done with them. We've gotta find where Cain's victims are being kept and get to them before its knife does!

Help Stop Cutter Cain

We've got no perpetrators, no suspects, nothing! The Seers can't find Cain, and they never see it coming. Until now...

Cain finally slipped up. Got someone to help out and that someone got his mind read by one of our Seers, right before she disappeared.

We picked out this address from the Seer's last thought transmission. It's a warehouse in Logos. Character, I want you to get to that warehouse and rescue that Seer before she ends up like the others.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Autopsies confirm that the victims were alive when the implants were chopped out of them. That Cutter Cain takes pleasure in torturing its victims means there is that much extra time to save them.

Mission Objective(s)

The air carries a bitter cocktail of medical disinfectant mixed with blood.

  • Rescue Seer from Cutter Cain
    • Search for Clues
    • Find the Seer

You stopped the kidnappers, but were too late to save the seer they kidnapped. However, you did find a clue that could prove very helpful.


Enemies

Resistance


Notable NPCs


Seer 0228
Briefing

You can tell you are too late before you even check for a pulse. The poor Seer lies crumpled on the ground. At least she seems to have found peace, despite the damage Cutter Cain and his Resistance friends did to her before she slipped away.

Leave

Clue
Seer 0228

You found Seer 0228, but she was already dead. It looks like someone took a knife or a scalpel to her and tried to dig out the cybernetic implants in her head. The disturbing thing is by the look of agony frozen on her face she either woke up during the process, or was awake the entire time.

Clue
Doctor Who?

One of the kidnappers mentioned following the doctor's plan. You questioned them, but didn't get much more out of them other than he wasn't Cutter Cain. You resolve to let Interrogator Kang handle the question and answer session, but it's obvious that there is someone else pulling the strings here.


Debriefing

You found some equipment from Pharmatek Global, huh?

That would be a good logical next step. Before we do that, however, I want to see what information we can get out of those perpetrators you brought in.

So far all I've learned is that Cutter Cain is male, and he's a doctor. Looks like TPN wasn't too far off.

We're going to have to keep in touch if we're going to have any hope of solving this case. Here's my cell number. Call me whenever you get a lead. With coordination we will find Cutter Cain.

Part Two: Finders Keepers

According to one of the Syndicate thugs you brought in, Doctor Cain is using some sort of device to block Seer precognition. That's how he surprises them.

I had Alec Parson over at MICIR do some digging and it appears that there is such a device. It's called a Limbo Device. Praetor Tilman had them outlawed years ago.

I'd bet my salary that Cain got his from Pharmatek Global, along with the rest of his equipment.I want you to visit the Pharmatek Global facility here in Logos. They supposedly have a Limbo Device for research purposes, make sure they still have it.

Visit Pharmatek Global

Doctor Cain, is working with the Resistance and the Syndicate. His motives don't seem to be about murdering the Seers but rather to find a way to remove their cybernetics without killing them in the process. This is of value to both the Resistance and Syndicate. According to one of the Resistance terrorists you captured, Cain already has a few successful cases under his belt.

My suspicion is that Doctor Cain is selling Seers to the Syndicate, and having the Resistance help with the heavy lifting. In return, both groups benefit: The Resistance has less Seers to deal with, and the Syndicate get new recruits into their organization.

Find those Seers and he has nothing to sell, he'll get desperate, and then he'll make a mistake.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You need to get that thing taken care off we talked about earlier.

Mission Objective(s)

You feel a half dozen minds briefly touch your own. The Syndicate are here and they know you're coming.

  • Investigate Pharmatek Global
    • Defeat Maxine, 5 Minutes Until Security Arrives!
    • Find Former Seer
    • Escort the Seer out

You rescued a former Seer and discovered that Cutter Cain is none other than Doctor Steffard, and he has the Pharmatek Global Limbo Device.


Enemies

Syndicate


Notable NPCs

  • Former Seer (Hostage, must escort to hostage)
  • Maxine (Seer Lieutenant)
  • Maxine is one of the top Syndicate killers. Her psychic mastery over her own body turns her into a lethal killing machine.
  • Metzger (Seer Lieutenant)
  • Metzger is a veteran of the Hamidon Wars, a former soldier of fortune, an security consultant for Pharmatek Global in Praetoria City. That he is a member of the Syndicate is actually, not all that surprising.
  • Tanya (Seer Lieutenant, guarding Former Seer)
  • Tanya isn't known so much for her fiery temper as much as she's known for turning people who hurt her friends into charcoal.


Ambush! After the timer runs out, waves of Syndicate will begin arriving every minute or so.

Debriefing

So Cutter Cain does have the Limbo Device.

Cain has no doubt gone into hiding now that we've started hitting close to the mark. Luckily your provided us with someone who has been there before. We have some Seers trying to calm her down right now, but I think information will be forthcoming.

Ah, there's a call now.

I've sacrificed a lot for this city, Character. I'm not going to let it get burnt down, not by us, not after we came so close to losing it all. There are too many things at stake right now for us to go back to the old ways. Those were dangerous times, when people like us were needed more than ever. Well, I think those times are coming again, but I'll be glad to have you right next to me when they do.

Finale: Hide and Seek

The Seers went through the mind of the Seer you rescued and she recalls some time down in the tunnels. I was about to send a few squads of PPD search teams down there to look for signs of Cain, but then one of our Seers went offline in Logos. Cain's struck again.

We've managed to triangulate a position for the location of the Limbo Device blocking the precognition. If you can find and deactivate the Limbo Device then the Seers will be able to find Cutter Cain and you can take him out!

Find the Limbo Device

Locating the limbo device is the easy part. Grabbing Cain will be the tricky part.

Once you've disabled the Limbo Device the Seers will be able to direct you to his location.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Find that Limbo Device and deactivate it before Cain can reclaim it and escape.


Find the Limbo Device

Mission Objective(s)

  • Find the Limbo Device
    • 10 dumpsters to search

You found the Limbo Device and deactivated it. Almost instantly you hear the Seers direct your thoughts toward tracking down Cutter Cain.


Arrest Cutter Cain

Mission Objective(s)

You can feel the Seers urging you on, you must be getting close to your quarry.

  • Arrest Cutter Cain!
    • Stop Cutter Cain

You arrested Dr. Steffard and recovered the Seers he had removed from the Seer Network.


Enemies

Resistance
Seers


Debriefing

Cutter Cain was Dr. Steffard... I can hardly believe it.

I spoke with Steffard briefly, to try and learn why he did what he did. He was trying to give the Seers a chance to live their own lives. Part of me agrees with him, but the safety of Praetoria requires that we all sacrifice for the greater good.

I told you I had a daughter, didn't I, Character?

Her name was Anna. She was one of the Seers that was kidnapped by Steffard... He successfully removed her from the Seer Network.

Character, there is nothing more that I want than to see my little girl again, to hear her laugh, to hug her, to ask her how her day has been... but she is a Seer. To try and change that would violate everything I believe in, and I believe in Praetoria, Character.

We all have to make sacrifices. Some simply have more to sacrifice than others.
