You somehow managed to get access to the PDA of one of the functionaries. You attach a device in order to decrypt it and find the following file.

"Hmm, I got access! Keep an eye out will you?"

"What are you even doing!? We should be getting out of here, the CP's can come by here any second!"

"Oh come on, don't tell me you're not the least bit interested in who these people actually are..."

"This is suicide! We should be getting back to base before they find the body!"
"Jeez, it'll only take a moment!"

"Fuck! They logged me out... Let me try tinkering with it for a bit longer."

"I told you beforehand! We should get out of here while we have the fucking chance!"
"Yea yea, alright mister smarty-pants. Lets get back to the camp."

"Finally!"
As the two individuals leave and place the data pad on the table, and audible beep is heard. The short tinkering of the man unlocked the next portion of the file.

AMIRBEK ISKAKOV
From the first day I've set foot inside the city, you've been there to support me. You showed me around, introduced me to the ISOCF and even got me a place to live. Even though it wasn't even your place to begin with. Though the ISOCF never really worked out, you were one of my best comrades. With the creation of the MAA Division within the city you returned to your duties and even got a hefty promotion to a command rank. Well done for that buddy! I heard you all got deployed not too long ago, and I've rarely seen you since... I hope you're keeping your nose clean friend and watch those in your close circle closely, for they may not have the best intentions.

Sven Aalto
You were there from the beginning with me in the ISOCF, being made one rank higher than myself. You constantly got yourself into trouble back then... But through all that you still showed empathy to your fellow man. I can see why Amir hangs out so much with you. Your leadership of the MAA however was sub-par at best. I gave you lot the tools needed to be
successful, but they mostly fell on deaf ears. After you were so reckless to tell us over radio to "switch frequencies and to stop transmitting" I was taken in for questioning and promptly shot in my leg... I still haven't quite forgiven you for this.


What did you do!? What in the world Sven!? I checked your profile today... And.. I don't know what to say, I honestly hope you didn't turn against the Union like you spoke about during our time in the MAA. I hope to God, you didn't suffer friend. Watch over Amir and Edoardo from up there will ya, I doubt I've earned your protection.


Edoardo Puritano / KING-1 (the fake)
Hey Bob, how are you doing? Last time I saw you, you guys were up to some unsanctioned meeting... Rather odd if you'd ask me but I won't pry too much into it. You are one of my closest friends, I love how we used to joke around, and make fun of each other's names. I hope you're holding up okay now and keeping your nose clean. You, Sven, and Amir are those I consider my closest friends... To bad we can't have casual conversations anymore.

Huh... You've actually gone and done it huh pal? You've made it into the force, but did you really have to take that tagline? You're a good kid Barry, you'll do well... Better than most in this profession.


Claire Lavoie
Claire, I just want to say... Thank you for all of the opportunities you've given me! After Akemi left the store you still kept me around and gave me a place to call home once more. I always felt so relaxed and comfortable around you and Sharlee... The way you care for her really comforts me. It's good to know she has you to watch over her. I'm not sure if the merge with Little Italy was pre-planned or forced by the DoB... But watch Gus closely... Or maybe you're in the same boat with him? Either way, I want you to watch out for him. He's dangerous. Where've you gone though? I miss you.

Charlotte "Sharlee" McMadison
When I first met you, you were very shy. You kept to yourself and rarely talked to me. But as the days kept going you opened up more to me. You cared for me when I was shot in my leg, helping me up stairs and to move around. You even comforted me when we were alone. I'll never forget the moments we shared alone... I'm terribly sorry for what happened to you on that day, having to be in splints for so long, it must've been painful for you. I promise I'll try my best to keep you safe from the shadows now. Watch Gus closely, he's a bad egg and not to be trusted! When I read through your journal, it pained me to see what I read... I wasn't sure what to think anymore about you and I feel us growing more and more apart because of it. I hope you two will one day be happy together, but I can't help but feel sadness... Watch out for Emille, as with Gus, he can not be trusted. And even though I swore to protect you, if I catch you lying to me and still hanging out with Emille...

Where've you gone...?


Elias Siemens
I'm glad to count you among one of my friends. I don't remember exactly how it all started, but I'm glad it did. I know you know, and I also know you'll keep it a secret, just like I've kept yours. Watch out who you tell about that place, even though I know nothing illegal happens in there... The Union doesn't take kindly to secrets, laws or not. Try not to tell too many about it. I have fun being able to tell you what to do now!

It's weird... You know I'm still here but my intuition tells me you're hiding stuff from me regarding Gus, I hope I'm wrong in my thinking.

I've done all I've could Elias. I hope you're happy in that new store and in your new position. Don't disappoint me alright. You've proven yourself a valuable asset and an even greater friend.

XRAY-6
You were my mentor, and look at me now! In IAT, a promotion, and I've got some responsibilities now. Although, I've got the feeling you've grown rather silent around me. I guess we'll see what happens. Let me tell you this now though, I'm not some "Puppy" that'll follow you blindly anymore. I know what you've told the others about me, and I do not appreciate it. I won't let that change our friendship though... For now.

HOW COULD YOU!? You were my mentor, my friend! I trusted you! But now you've gone and betrayed my trust yet again, and for what!? Just to get to HELIX-7? Don't count on me watching your back in the future...

Why... Why didn't you protect him!? My partner, my friend, my role model... You and the other lot from the expedition were supposed to protect each other Emma! It seems it was true what they say about you, you only get those around you killed. I hate you! I despise you! It should have been you, not KING-1!


KING-1
When I first met you, you were pretty full of yourself and I was rather intimidated at the time. After all, I was a fresh recruit, I didn't know jack shit. But now, now I'm glad I've gotten to know you better. It's good to know that you're in my camp. I promise I'll try to impress you! Thank you for taking me in to your division. Having had to do all that work yourself must've been tough, good on you for getting that promotion!

I'm so sorry One... I'm so sorry I didn't come with you. I'm sorry if I disappointed you. I saw your automated pager come through, and immediately fell to my knees. I feel like I lost my family all over again. You're with the Lord now, and our Benefactors. I pray you did not have to suffer and that it was a quick death... What will I do without your guidance?

QUICK-2
You're a great guy! A bit full of yourself, but certainly fun to hang out with! Try not to get caught with those radios buddy, or else there might be some consequences to having those. RLs won't always fall for the "I confiscated it" lie.

HELIX-7
When I first met you, you were rather arrogant I should say, but over time I've gotten to know the softer more insecure side of you. I can see why you work as hard as you do. I can't help but to wonder, with how much we hang out... What do you really think of me? After all, you did keep my trench coat and plushie. I enjoy the time we spend together a lot. It seems you and I have some... Things in common with each other. Hopefully we'll have a lot more in common soon.

HELIX-4
We both arrived on the same day, and both got mentored by X-6... I enjoy our time together a lot but still haven't really got a clue what to think about us. I feel as if you're trying to avoid me. It makes me rather sad, I wonder if it's something I've done.... I hope we can go back to being more open with each other.

HERO-1
I have to say, I found you kind of arrogant and full of yourself.... But now? You still are, just know one thing H-1. You don't have as much muscle mass as you think you do haha! Still, I'm glad to count you among my friends. I also seem to have a lead on that thing you told me about being "hit"... I'll never forget the day you took that shotgun to the chest for me. I owe you my life! NOW ACCEPT THE DAMNED TURTLE PLUSHIE!

Heilag Vagga
I know I never really got to know you. Personally, I've never trusted your kind... But you showed such a selfless side to you kind, one that's willing to risk everything to save the life of a species that was once out to kill you. I know the CMU misses their quartermaster a lot, and that you can not be replaced that easily. Even when faced with death, you didn't try to escape. You accepted your fate with open arms, knowing what you did was the right thing to do. If things had been different I'd have hoped I could've gotten to know you better. I only feel guilt about your passing. Had I taken a different approach, you would probably still be here with your kin. I'm sorry, I'd wished it would have been me that could have pulled that trigger and held the guilt closer to my heart. May you rest in peace, knowing your kind and loved ones now each hold a piece of your legacy. Take care Vorty.

Samuel Lacrose
I believe we joined the CWU around the same time, I just remember you in that yellow shirt alongside me. Now, everything's different. You're a supervisor now! And you probably don't even recognize even my voice anymore. Don't worry though, I'm closer than you think... And I hold something very dear to you. One day I shall get the other! I still wonder why it decides to stare back at me though, what are you hiding?

Michael Hoxworth
You were the one who got me into the CWU in the first place. I'm sorry it wasn't really my cup of tea though. I'd like to thank you for the opportunity. You're a good egg in a world full of bad ones. Since I took on the mask, I feel though that I've found my calling. Kind of sad I won't be able to tell you about it though, anonymity and all you know. It's good to know you're still guiding those beneath you to create a better city 24. Keep up the good work, and stay safe in Indigent should you go there.

Gustavo "Gus" Baldo
At first I thought you were rather chill, but the more I got to know you, the more I felt like something was off about you. I know now what that is, I just can't prove it yet. You might have those around you strung up around your little lies, but you'll slip eventually. If you ever manipulated Claire or Charlotte, I won't forgive you. I will find a way to stop you, and when I do. Your lung cancer won't be the thing killing you. It'll be my knife slowly going through your wrists and neck.


I hoped I could've put you down myself, but it seems someone or something got to you first... Your days are over.

HELIX-5
In my eyes you are still the most approachable Rank Leader! You were the one to promote me from recruit to i5, and I'm proud to be able to call you my superior. You're one of the only RLs that don't tend to mess up royally. I wish to become like you someday.

VICE-7
Yet another i2 that looks to stay away from the lower ranks in my opinion. Haven't had a good chance to talk with you, or hang out with you. Hope that could change someday, meet the real V-7. But until then, I'd rather steer clear from the command element unless necessary.

VICE-9
The most scary RL in my opinion. It always seems like you're daydreaming which costs us valuable response time to emergencies, and yet you punish us for your incompetence? I guess there are good things about you, but until I find those out, I'd rather not get in your way.

What kind of Rank Leader are you!? Getting half your squad and yourself killed!? I knew it'd happen someday, but I had hoped my friends would at least be on a different assignment. I hope your replacement actually does his job properly.

Antonio "Willie" Abudafi
You're a very weird fellow, and in my mind... There might be something you're hiding. Alas, I have no proof of anything, but this will change. Believe me it will. You might have people wrapped around your finger, thinking you're getting on the right path, but I know how you were before that. You're nothing but a leech. The way you act towards authority is shameful to say the least.


Haruto Ito
What can I say? This man does his job well, a true politician. The first time I saw you, you gave me the impression that you were insane, tossing random civilians down into the sewers and eventually falling in yourself. But ever since joining the force I've gotten to see another side of you. A side which is more friendly and caring I'd say. Like I said, a true politician.

Alex Smith
One of the only guys who calls me Dutch. He seems to be a hard worker, but I could do without the nickname honestly. Don't want my colleagues thinking there's something shady going on.

Akemi Yamata
Wow, it feels like ages since I've spoken to you honestly. The first time I met you, you offered to sell your jacket to me when you saw I was freezing. From there, we only started growing closer and closer. I joined CWU just to be closer with you as well, but the moment I joined you left them... I saw why and left as well, only to find out you opened your own store. The Kitsune, my first real job since the ascension. You were so kind to give me a job there, until you quiet out of nowhere. After that I didn't see you for a long time and now you're suddenly back and looking to join Civil Protection!? Good on you! I knew you'd get out of your downwards spiral.

Alex Weaver

I don't know how you do it, having to work with the dumbest the workforce has to offer. I can tell you this however, you're a damn fine worker.

THE UNIVERSAL UNION

I don't know where the world would've ended up without you stepping in... And I'm not even talking about the Black Mesa incident. I'm glad you've saved us from our downwards spiral. Glory to the Union!

CIVIL PROTECTION
My new home, thank you all for taking me in and teaching me the ropes. I'm proud to call you my colleagues, for the most part.

OVERWATCH TRANSHUMAN ARM
You're all a scary lot and I'm still not sure what you exactly are. Are you robots? Are you humans? A combination? Either way, as long as I don't have to deal with you guys, I'm fine.

Glory to the Union!


CITIZENS
Some of you are good, some of you are bad eggs... And some, man some of you are just plain retarded. Those of you who do wish to make the city a better place, you've got my respect.

CIVIL WORKER'S UNION
You lot seem to make the city operate at peak efficiency, and do everything in your power to improve everyone's lives here. You're a good example of what a CWU should be, unlike my previous city. Keep up the good work, and one day we will be among the stars with our Benefactors.

CIVIL MEDICAL UNION
Any organization in health care deserves my respect. Not many wish to pick up the torch and do the things you lot do. I'm terribly sorry about Heilag, I am. I hope you guys found some closure in the fact he did not suffer.

DEPARTMENT OF BUSINESS
OPEN YOUR DAMNED STORES OR HIRE NEW SHOPKEEPS! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

SLUMMERS
Some of you are good, some of you not so much. I heard about how one of you lot lead one of our Protection Teams into an ambush. If I ever find you, you'll pay for it. Good on you lot to finally turn the place around, with shops opening up and the travel restrictions removed we might finally see civilized society return to your hell hole.

"REBELLION"
All of you might think you're a rebellion, but let me tell you. You're NOT! What type of rebellion targets civilians? What type of rebellion takes innocent lives? I despise you all. You're the reason we can't progress, you're the reason I'm away from my children! The sooner I can crush you underneath my boot, the better.

I'm not going to waste a single moment anymore. Any chance I get to kill one of you fuckers I'll take! You've taken my friend yet again. I'm so damn tired of you lot.

A loud kick is heard, the door flies off its hinges and drops down. Multiple officers rush into the room.
"Room clear! K-9, check that PDA."

"On it! Watch my shadow."

"Hmm... Oh, shit."

The unit promptly switches tabs to another unit's datafile.
"What is it Niner?"


"They hacked into the PDA, they decrypted one of the functionary datafiles. Looks like it's.... X-3"

"Damn, alright everyone! Ripcord. Bag and tag anything related to those two. We'll find them eventually!"


The protection team leaves, but KING-9 stands in the doorway for a moment longer. He looks around the room one last time, wondering who now knows his secrets, and why they wanted it in the first place.
