Information

Initial Contact

Welcome to the Powers Division, recruit.

Today you will have your first live fire mission. You've been assigned to Reese, one of the Top Dogs in the Powers Division.

Before you meet with him, I'd like to send you through basic training.

Click on any of the lines of text below to continue this conversation.

If you choose BEGINNER, you will be taught the game play basics before meeting Reese. Only choose VETERAN if you are already familiar with combat, navigation, conning, and power usage in City of Heroes.

(Optional) Wait, something isn't right here.

What? What is it that is bothering you, Character?

(Optional) Where am I?

You must not be from around here. This is Praetoria, Emperor Cole's utopia.

The Powers Division is a special division of the Praetoria Police Department: the PPD. Most of the PPD do the day-to-day maintenance of the peace, but the Powers Division is called in for missions that require your special skills. Just because you have super powers doesn't mean you're better than anybody. It means you have a civic duty to serve.

Me? I chose this job because I believe in Emperor Cole's vision.

(Optional) What? I didn't join the Powers Division!

Hahaha. And yet here you are.

If you have super powers, want to carry a gun or other weapon, or are an expert in unarmed combat, you join the Powers Division.

It's the law. We have a 100% recruitment rate.

(Optional) Yeah, we'll see about that.

Look, kid. You obviously don't like me, and I don't like your attitude. But if you want to get out of the Powers Division already, you'll have to go take it up with Reese.

Alright, I'll do that.

Before you meet with Reese, I'd like to send you through basic training. This will teach you the skills you need to tackle whatever mission Reese might throw you into.

Unless you're good to go, of course. Can never tell how much you Powers Division people already know.

Welcome to Praetoria

You'll need to talk to Reese. He's a pretty busy guy, but if you want to get anywhere in Praetoria, you'll have to talk to him.

Wait a sec, there's something on my comm... It's The Destroyers!

They're assaulting the precinct! Get over there, Character.

Where can I find Reese?

Reese will be on the near side of the precinct, fighting off the Destroyers. Just go up the street behind me and turn left; you can't miss him.

Unsolicited Contact

Good luck, Character.


Mission Objective(s)

  • Talk to Reese

Briefing

Hey new recruit, don't just stand there lollygagging. Can't you see we have a situation here?

Here are some damage enhancements. Get them slotted and we can get started.

Okay, I'm Ready.

I got the memo about you, Character. You're being assigned to my division for a while.

Do you know who I am? I am a Top Dog in Praetor White's Powers Division. That means I'm famous, well known, and respected.

However, I have a task that can only be handled by an unrecognizable greenie. That's you.

(Optional) What's going on here?

The Destroyers are assaulting the precinct, what's it look like? Feel free to take down a few on the way to your mission, but as you can see, I pretty much have it under control.

(Optional) Who are the Destroyers?

The Destroyers believe in only one thing: the strong make the rules. They've been getting more violent every day, but they are disorganized anarchists. So once I wipe them out, they're gone. I'll probably be done with them by the time you get back out.

The Resistance are another thing entirely; they are subverting members of our orderly society with their lies and propaganda. I need an insider to weed them out. That's where you come in.

(Optional) I don't want to be part of this, I have my own things to do.

That's nothing new, that's why I picked you for this mission.

You've got spirit. I've got a lot on my shoulders here and I need someone who I don't need to babysit. If you can prove yourself on this mission, I will make it worth your while.

Fine

Welcome to Powers Division

I need you to infiltrate the Resistance.

There are Destroyers all over the streets, it's a mess. Don't be fooled, however. They're just pawns of the real threat to peace in Praetoria: the Resistance.

The Resistance is always looking for new recruits. I've made it known that you aren't happy being inducted into Powers Division. This should be enough to get your foot in the door. The rest is on you.

Where should I go to find the recruiter?

There's a Resistance recruiter that is ready to meet you. Go to the door under the nearby underpass; that door will take you into the underground.

Once you make contact with the Resistance member, I will send in additional troops to arrest him and his buddies.

Be careful, the Resistance will tell you anything to get you to join them. Don't fall into the trap of believing their lies.

Unsolicited Contact

You need to enter the underground, I will send in backup once you make contact.

Follow the marker on your compass to the underground entrance. If the marker gets deselected, you can reselect it by clicking on the mission tab, then selecting the mission from Reese.

Mission Objective(s)

You've made your way into the den where the Resistance are. Up ahead, you can hear the sound of a Clockwork repairing itself.

  • Speak with the Resistance Representative

Briefing

LoA.dIn.G[pRE.rec.MSG] // reLAyinG Me$$^&!

Greetings, Character. I am a-a-a-a Clockwork programmed t-t-to aid the Resistance.

The ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-person you are to meet is currently on the r-r-r-run from the PPD. I have been se-se-se-sent to sp-sp-sp...

buF[msg]; nop; mSg=buf // buffERinG meSS^%1

Please use the supply crate to retrieve a-a-a-a-a... some inspirations.

(Optional) I don't understand half of what you are saying.

PrS(Que.rY[TgT.cuR]) == ErRRor // miSMat[- er570

Errror. P-please re-re-re-re-re

buF[msg]; nop; mSg=buf // buffERinG meSS^%1

REstaTE youR stateMeNT as A QuesTION, plEASE.

Umm... Nevermind. (interact with supply crate)

Here, please ta-take this earpiece. The man you are su-supposed to meet with will speak with you through it.

I have been instructed to give you additional data if required.

(Optional) I'd like a better idea of what's going on here.

LoA.dIn.G[rDa.taB.aSe] // enCylopedIA M0!]#

A-a-affirmed. First p-p-programmed s-s-speech a-a-alert launching.

The Resistance are a g-g-group of f-f-freedom fighters led by Calvin Scott. T-t-their goal is to b-bring down the t-t-yrant, Marcus Cole. H-he has taken away t-too many of o-our l-liberties in the n-name of peace. T-t-the f-f-final straw for the Resistance was the r-r-removal of the freedom of thought. A-a-all t-thoughts of the people of P-praetoria are now m-monitored by th-th-the Seers.

However, once you join the Resistance, we will be able to protect your thoughts. Eventually, with Cole's de-destruction, the p-people of P-p-praetoria will be free once more.

Pl-pl-please tell me what else I can prop-properly inform you on.

(Optional) Tell me about Emperor Cole

Em-em-emperor Marcus Cole is the Emperor of the Earth. The hi-hi-history books have recorded that he has saved the world countless times over. It is said he has withstood a nuclear attack and has fended off Hamidon with his bare hands. The pe-pe-people of Praetoria believe that he is a god come to show us the way to perfection.

He claims re-re-responsibility for saving Praetoria from the br-brink of total destruction and creating the ut-ut-utopia that it is today.

(Optional) How does Cole keep the peace here?

The Praetorian Police Department or the P.P.D. are Cole's po-po-police force that are given full authority to keep peace in Praetoria. The people are do-do-docile for the most part, so there is not much of a need for them on a da-da-daily basis.

There are several divisions of the P.P.D., such as the Powers Division, a gro-gr-group of beings with super powers. You were id-id-identified as a member of the Powers Division - ev-ev-every being in Praetoria who has heightened abilities mu-mu-must be registered with the Powers Division. Praetor White is in charge of the Powers Division.

(Optional) What does your database say about Praetoria?

Praetoria is the ca-ca-capital city of Earth. It acts as the seat of power for the rest of the world.

It is broken up into a se-se-several districts. We're currently below No-no-nova Praetoria, the heart of Praetoria. This is wh-where Emperor Cole's tower is located. You can see the to-to-tower from anywhere in the city. Imperial City is the thriving business area you may have seen across the river before you came down here. Finally, there is Neutropolis which is where all the scientific research and de-de-development are done.

(Optional) Tell me about the other Clockwork.

The Cl-cl-clockwork are Praetoria's work force. We were in-in-invented and designed by Antimatter. We do the work that others do not want to-to-to do. We are also used by the P.P.D. to help retrieve anyone they believe is going to be a problem. We ask no questions and do exactly as we're told.

Some Clockwork, like myself, have been repr-pr-programmed by the Resistance to serve their purposes.

(Optional) Tell me about the P.P.D.

The Praetorian Police Department or the P.P.D. are Cole's po-po-police force that are given full authority to keep peace in Praetoria. The people are do-do-docile for the most part, so there is not much of a need for them on a da-da-daily basis.

There are several divisions of the P.P.D., such as the Powers Division, a gro-gr-group of beings with super powers. You were id-id-identified as a member of the Powers Division - ev-ev-every being in Praetoria who has heightened abilities mu-mu-must be registered with the Powers Division. Praetor White is in charge of the Powers Division.

(Optional) Tell me more about the Resistance.

Qry=reS; gEt.tru[haX.dat[rEs]] // feTcH trU!#

DAt=chk; oVR.Wrt[dAT[rEs]] // datA OVerrrr!]#

The Re-re-re-resistance are a small group of people who believe that Cole's rule is not what it appears to be. Most Resistance members in Praetoria would be immediately recognized by the monitors topside, so must stay underground to avoid capture.

The Resistance fights for tho-those who have been run over by Cole's governmental machine, trying to help those who can't help themselves while att-att-attempting to change the government by any means necessary.

I'm ready to get moving. What's next?

I ha-ha-have been told to direct you to the do-do-door up ahead. You ca-ca-can destroy it to mo-mo-move forward. I will stay here in the me-me-me-meantime until events on the su-surface have calmed.

You now have a choice - you can choose to leave the Clockwork down here, or convince it that the PPD have cleared away from the surface. If the Clockwork goes to the surface, the PPD will scan it for all information regarding the Resistance, then destroy it.

These minor choices will appear throughout your travels in Praetoria. They will not change your alignment, but will affect the dialog and story.

Yo, Character, it's Wrencher, the guy you're meeting with.
We got a problem, PPD chased us right into a den of ghouls! Our boys could use your help!
See down there? That's day to day in the tunnels, trying our best not to get chomped.
We get out of here fast enough, we can scamp and let them PPD badgers and Ghouls chomp - wha?! Hold on, Character, we're under attack! It's the PPD!
Ugh! Hey give that radio ba-!
Loyalists and Wrencher

Loyalist Member

You're not going anywhere, terrorist.
Your attacks on the people of Praetoria end today!

Loyalist Leader

Character! So, Praetor White couldn't just let the PPD handle this, huh?
As you can see, we're finishing things up here with the Resistance.
But I guess you're here to 'show us how it's done', aren't you?
Are you going to follow through on your orders...
...and take down this Resistance scum?
