Mission:Hit List - Part Three: Corporate Rivalry
Part Three: Corporate Rivalry
Briefing
Charles Monroe has indicated that Erica Swift, the CEO of Swift Microcomms, is most likely behind the attempt on his life.
From what I know of Mrs. Swift, she doesn't seem like the type to hire Syndicate to kill a corporate rival, but then again, the Syndicate are notoriously difficult to spot without serious investigation.
I want you to accompany me as I pay Mrs. Swift a little visit.
- Accompany Washington
I have a sense of these things, Character. Mrs. Swift's background is too clean, and that means she's hiding something.
Just follow my lead and we'll have her singing in no time.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Make your way over to Swift Microcomms, I'll meet you there.
Mission Objective(s)
Nothing seems too out of the ordinary here, though, arriving with the Chief Interrogator certainly has caught everyone's attention.
- Question Mrs. Swift
- Arrest Erica Swift
You arrested Erica Swift, CEO of Swift Telecommunications and secret member of the Syndicate.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Chief Interrogator Washington, (NPC Ally)
- Washington is a man that only those who seek to harm the safety of Praetoria should fear. Those who do fear him make sure to avoid him at all cost, due to Washington's animal-like instincts and ruthless fighting style.
- Erica Swift, (Syndicate Suit)
- Erica Swift is the CEO of Swift Microcomms, a telecommunication company that has done very well for itself in the wake of the Hamidon Wars and the Rebuilding. It would seem that some of some of Mrs. Swift's success comes from her association with the Syndicate, and the mental powers she has learned from their mysterious leaders.
- Stevens, (Syndicate Striker)
- Trent Stevens is Mrs. Swift's personal bodyguard, though it is clear now that he and the rest of the muscle in her employ are actually Syndicate killers.
The Chief Interrogator rarely does field work anymore, so when he makes an appearance people stand up and take notice. It also helps that the man is probably the next most intimidating thing to Praetor White, just beating out a great white shark.
Erica Swift, CEO and Founder of Swift Microcomms, sinister Syndicate underboss and unregistered psychic. Even looking at her now you have a hard time imagining that this woman is a member of that secret society which seeks to undermine the authority of Emperor Cole and control the people of Praetoria from the shadows.
Debriefing
Mrs. Swift is in custody and the entire building is on lockdown as we investigate everyone for connections to the Syndicate.
We're getting some disturbing reports, but I'll get to those in a moment.
You did well in there, Character, I can see why Michael put in a good word for you with me.
