Part Four: Mutually Assured Destruction
Briefing
The climax of our actions is soon approaching. Vagabond and Hatchet are prepared for our assault on the lab that has our Neutron bomb. The PPD are unaware that we are on our way, though I assume that they are already well guarded. Our efforts, however, are coordinated.
As we speak, the diseased members of the Resistance have activated in precincts all over Nova and Imperial, sending them into chaos. The officers in the lab will be unable to move in to provide back up. Beholder's seers have launched various attacks on the Seers in Imperial to prevent Tilman from seeing our attack. Hatchet's small army of ghouls have moved to the surface in Neutropolis and Imperial, ensuring that the PPD must take them out before dealing with us.
- All that's left is for us to get the bomb.
The last and most important step. This not a time for words anymore, Character. This is a time for action! I will meet you at the lab.
Those Loyalists who have gone undercover would do well to speak with Provost Marchand about events that are happening.
Unnecessary Solicitation
You haven't left yet? Let's get moving!
Contacting Provost Marchand
Briefing
Character! What's going on?! There's chaos everywhere! Diseased Resistance in the precincts, ghouls in the streets, it's mass chaos!
- (Tell Marchand Wardog's plan)
The Neutron bomb! That's insane! Character, I did not even know one of those was being made! If that goes off in Nova Praetoria, every single person on the island will die! But I fear for what would happen if we allow this to stay in the hands of Neuron. I believe he has commandeered part of my PPD force. This is something that I cannot stand for.
You'll have to go along with the Resistance, for now. Retrieve the Neutron bomb, but keep me posted on it. Whatever you do, do not let the Resistance activate it! It may actually be safer out of Neuron's hands than it would be in it. Contact me again when you know that the next move is going to be on Wardog's end.
Marchand's Orders
Marchand was shocked that there was a Neutron bomb right in the heart of Imperial City. He requested that you steal it away with the Resistance, but keep him posted on what they will do with it. He seems to think it'll be safer in your hands than in the hands of Neuron. He may be right.
Mission Objective(s)
Hatchet, Vagabond and Wardog all nod as you enter, ready to begin their plan to retrieve the Neutron bomb.

Undercover Loyalists
Briefing
You've received a secure message from Provost Marchand:
Stay on them with that Neutron bomb,Character! I'm trusting you now more than I do the Praetors. Contact me when you know exactly what they plan on doing!
Debriefing
You've performed admirably, Character. We now have a weapon to use against Cole and his regime, a weapon that will make them know true fear. It is only through fear that change can be made, Character. Not through noble acts, not through charity; only fear and power can change the society that we've become. That is what people respond to. Not to intellectual debate, not to high morals. Perhaps in better times, those would be fine. But we live in a time where drastic actions must be taken. And we, Character, will be the people to do such actions.
