Case notes
Pre-mission
Gessler, CEO of Rooke's rival Intex, hired me to find the location of Rooke's secret prototype.
Post-mission
Gessler, CEO of Rooke's rival Intex, hired me to find the location of Rooke's secret prototype.
Rooke tells me there isn't one, and hired me to steal a fake so she can track it to Intex's labs.
Dialogue
Pre-mission
Rooke : I know you've taken a job to steal one of my prototypes.
Conway :
- Yep.
- Pfft, that doesn't sound like me.
- Honestly, it was the only thing going.
Rooke : It's fine, you're freelance, you're under no obligation to my company. I'm contacting you because the job was a ruse. The prototype you're looking for doesn't exist, we've left the lethal weapons market completely.
Conway : Well, that's gonna make my mission to retrieve it trickier.
Rooke : Maybe not. I'd actually like Intex to steal something from us - something with a tracker on it. I'd be interested to know where it ends up.
Conway : Why are you telling me?
Rooke : We honestly don't have one. We don't have anything you could steal that would be convincing to Gessler as a prototype weapon. So... I need you to steal one.
Conway :
- Aren't you afraid I'll tell Gessler?
- Rooke : No, go ahead. It'll sound exactly like a ruse to cover up our secret prototype.
- From who?
- Rooke : The same fabrication company who make our prototypes. They build them for other clients too, and I want you to steal something they're making for the automotive industry. It won't look like a weapon, but Intex won't know what it is. That means it'll get to their labs, and we can trace it there.
- So that I can give it to you, so that I can steal it from you.
- Rooke : Yes.
- Conway :
- I hate this job.
- I love this job.
- Alright, whatever.
After
Conway : Well, this all makes perfect sense. Where am I going?
Rooke : 39 London Road.
Conway :
- Any special requests?
- Rooke : I'd appreciate it if you could keep violence to a minimum.
- Got it.
Post-mission
Rooke : Find it OK?
Conway :
Yep.
- Rooke : Great.
What the hell is this?
- Rooke : Some kind of electric accelerator. My R&D guys looked into something a bit like it for projectiles once.
Rooke : Drop it in the trashcan at Union, I'll have someone pick it up, plant the tracker, and move it to the TX facility.

Subject: Re: Quit it!
Quiz: if Rooke did have you working on something, something that hit the personal security market but would still be legal even during the gun ban, would she ask you to keep it confidential?
And if she did, would you agree?
And if you did, what would you say about it to me?
You get it yet?
