Part Two: A Second Opinion

Briefing

These cybernetics in this woman's head... They're unlike any Seer implants I've seen before. Fascinating.

Amazing, it's as if they quadrupled the number of pathways... That would likely extend the range, but the signal would be so weak you could only pick it up with a receiver of some kind. Maybe it's...

  • Can I help you further?

Ah! I apologize, Character, I get so entranced with my work, I sometimes lose focus on anything but it.

Yes, I really could use your help. I want to find out more about these implants, but the only person I've dealt with in the past on such issues, at least, with any degree of success, was a rather, shall we say, understanding member of the Syndicate.

Things are very dicey right now with the Syndicate. I want you to escort me while I meet with Maxine. I don't expect any trouble from her, it's the rest of the Syndicate that worries me.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Whenever you're ready, but please, let's not keep Maxine waiting.

I made her wait once and she told me a story about...

The Syndicate seems to own everything in this town. Wait... that might actually be true.

  • Meet with the Syndicate
    • Approach Dr. Steffard
    • Escort Steffard to Maxine

You fought off a horde of ghouls that came out of nowhere and Dr. Steffard got the information he needed from Maxine.

Dr. Steffard

Enemies

Ghouls

Neutral

Syndicate

Notable NPCs

Dr. Steffard is secretly the Seer murdering villain known to Praetoria as "Cutter Cain". His true motive is to rehabilitate the Seers and give them back their lives, but the process doesen't always result in success.
Maxine is one of the top Syndicate killers. Her psychic mastery over her own body turns her into a lethal killing machine.


Maxine
Briefing

Why'd Steffard drag you along, Power Puff? 'Fraid something might happen?

  • Let's just say I'm insurance.
Clue
Ghoulish Guests

Not long after you arrived with Dr. Steffard to speak to Maxine, a horde of Ghouls attacked the facility out of nowhere. What were they doing here?

Don't worry, nothing's gonna... Wait. Did you hear something?

  • That sounds like... Ghouls!

Ambush! Immediately after talking to Maxine, you will be ambushed by several hordes of Ghouls.

Clue
Maxine

Dr. Steffard and Maxine appear to be old acquaintances and good friends. Maxine seems like the trustworthy type, after all, she just met you and defended you as if you were her own flesh and blood.

Debriefing

Horrifying!

The Seer implant that I removed from Seer 0293 appears to emit some sort of tracking signal... one that the Ghouls are inclined to listen for.

Maxine informed me that some of her brethren in the Syndicate have started hearing reports about increased Ghoul activity over in Neutropolis, and the Crusaders have been talking about more and more coordinated Ghoul attacks on their positions as well. I have a theory that these events are somehow linked, but I do not yet know how.

I have to admit, I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to count on you, Character. Most people don't even notice the Seers anymore, so I am pleasantly surprised that you are interested in figuring out if there is a link here between the Seers and the Ghouls.
