Mission:The Trash Collectors - Finale: Taking Out The Trash

Finale: Taking Out The Trash

Briefing

Sergeant Iminez has been feeding the Resistance information, that much is clear. Additionally, it's clear that the Resistance is working with the Syndicate here in Imperial City. This cannot stand. Iminez needs to go down, and the Syndicate and Resistance cannot be allowed to align. Luckily, I have a plan.

We put a tail on Sergeant Iminez and followed him to this warehouse in Industry Avenue. From the look of it, he's got a meeting with his buddies in the Resistance and Syndicate, no doubt to explain why his intel resulted in all of their personnel getting arrested. I want you to go to that meeting, only, you're going to fit right in there.

• Attend meeting in Industry Avenue warehouse

You aren't going to show up and arrest Iminez. No, I'm going to turn his worthless existence into the catalyst that sets the Syndicate and Resistance at one another's throats.

You're going to that meeting, only in the guise of a Syndicate thug. When you find Sergeant Iminez, kill him.

When the Resistance sees a Syndicate go-ganger take down their inside man in the PPD they're going to go ballistic. Likewise, if the Syndicate see one of their own start shooting, they're going to jump in. Once the bullets start flying, get out of there.

Members of the Resistance working undercover for Calvin Scott should inform him of what is happening.

Syndicate Disguise

You've been supplied with an outfit so you can blend in with the Syndicate. In addition, you've picked up a .50 caliber pistol. You know, the type you use when a criminal is hiding behind your refrigerator.

Heavy Pistol

Ranged, Moderate Damage (Lethal)

Small caliber side arm. It may be fired 15 times.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I'm not sure how long Iminez is going to be at that Resistance and Syndicate meeting, so you'd better hurry, we might not get another shot at this.

Contacting Calvin Scott

Calvin Scott (Praetorian)

Briefing

Character, I could use some good news.

• Sinclair's given orders to take down Sergeant Iminez.

He got greedy and got sloppy, but that doesn't change the fact that he's got a lot of valuable intelligence in his thinkbox.

What's Sinclair's plan? Simple wetworks or something more insidious?

• (Explain the plan to pit the Syndicate and Resistance against each other.)

I'm currently in negotiations that will make such a conflict inconsequential. Take Iminez out, but don't finish him off. I'll make sure that we win the ensuing engagement and pick Iminez up during the aftermath.

• And if he fights back?

Play Dead

Calvin Scott told you to play along with the plan to assassinate Sergeant Iminez and spark a fight between the Resistance and the Syndicate. He informed you that such a fight would be short lived and worth the consequences in the long run. All you have to do is take Iminez down, but not finish him. Scott will ensure that the Resistance pick him up in the aftermath.

Debriefing

My field agents report that the Syndicate and Resistance fighting has died down, with both groups falling back having suffered heavy casualties. Relations between the Syndicate and Resistance have always been tenuous for a long time. However, I have read several reports that indicate those relationships are strengthening of late. And what's more, not everyone in the Syndicate appears to be happy about that.

You eliminated a dangerous traitor, Character, and saved face for his family. Iminez will be buried with honors, having died valiantly defending Praetoria from terrorists and criminals.

I know it's not the way things should be, Character, but this is the unfortunately reality we live in. We have to do a lot of dirty work here in the Ministry of Intelligence, but our chief job is to protect Praetoria no matter the cost. Thankfully, today, the cost was the life of a traitor. But tomorrow it could be a good honest cop, a daughter who manifests dangerous psychic powers, or a family just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

In order to keep the streets of Praetoria City clean, someone has to pick up the trash.
