The Citizens

Uwe Schulz
"He's a good kid who cares a lot about others. I know he's trying to look out for us at the end of the day and he's a good person to hold a conversation with. He's got some game in politics, and I hope to witness him reach his goals."
"Introduced into the MoC. We'll see where his story goes from here on out."

Akira Ovaiss
"I've noticed a shift in her demeanor recently, although I can't really blame her for that. I hope to see her flourish in the upcoming days. She's valuable to this community." | "Is it the emotional strain of seeing Olivier change or is it the weight on your shoulders from CWU Management."
"She's become bitter in her recent days. Maybe I misread her before, maybe I didn't. Regardless, she's not someone I wish to spend a lot of time with."


Aurelio Segreto

"A kind man. I can't remember where I first met him but I've held quite a few conversations with him recently. I'm not sure which side of the table he's leaning on but, I believe I've seen him underground recently.. Regardless, I see him as someone who I can trust with certain things."
"Again, maybe another face that I'll be able to meet again. He was kind and focused on his work." | "Our new greet and meet was short. Good luck on your endeavors."


Alice Liljeström
"A kind-hearted woman who helped me when I was stabbed by that black band lunatic. She has been a great help this far and I expect her to make it far in whatever goals she has. Hell, I wouldn't mind supporting her in her goals either since I know how hard it is to get up off of the ground. It's ironic that she has my old apartment in the slums but, I know she'll make it out of there too."
"A new start, maybe a new introduction will be in order." | "If only I had gotten the chance."


Daniel Jelczuk
"While I feel as if we didn't get to talk a whole lot I know that you're on a good path. Continue forward and don't stop. The pieces will fall in place around you in due time."


The V̵o̷r̵t̴̘̚i̴̺̿g̸̟̋-̸̗͒-- Biotics

'Kura'
"A vort that had saved me while we were sent on that god-awful mining trip. Carried me to safety and wrapped me in his cloak. Did I ever get to say thank you?" | "You're okay! I'm so glad I got to see you again! Take care of that turtle plushie, please!"
"You saved my life, sure. Nothing more needs to be said."


'Sam̸̢̡͎̜̤̬̻͔̫̠̂̎̑̆̇̈́͘̕̚͜͠͠͝ -- Fella'
"Such a kind-hearted vortigaunt that is trying his very best to protect his friends. He's still young with a lot to learn." | "I tried to bring you up into the Penthouse and it was my ignorance which got you injured and nearly killed. I'm so sorry." | "I consider you a friend, a close one at that. Thank you for everything."
"Nothing more than a creature, like all the others." | "...You've done nothing but support Dave in his delusions. From one monster to the next. You've been freed with all of the wrong intentions."
"After everything that's happened, I can't blame you for your actions anymore. I never deserved to be in that grave next to Dave. I've dug my own elsewhere and there is where I'll rest. Maybe in another life, things would've gone differently."


'Splinter'
"A vortigaunt who has been friendly to me and the others. I keep making more and more friends with their kin. I can only hope that the loyalty I've started to form with them resonates to both sides."
"Disgusting."


'Stonemason'
"You listened to my concerns about The Defiler and agreed that you and your kin would be prepared. I hope that you continue to fight even if I'm not there when he appears. You've risked so much to escort me in the city and sewers alike. I owe you much more than I can provide."
"A free Biotic. One that should be exterminated as if it was nothing more than a cockroach."


'Uni'
"You were also one of the first free vortigaunts I told about the prophet mess and The Defiler. You calmed me when I was fearful of what was to happen. I pray that you and your kin survive this upcoming attack. I know that it'll happen soon and.. I have a feeling that I won't be as much help as the other prophets. Please tread lightly. I'm sorry I can't do more. I will remain loyal to your cause as much as you are to ours."
"Maybe the entire threat of The Defiler will take care of you and your other free kin. Good luck."



The Loyalists

Callum Crown
"I've spoken to him a few times, more so recently after I got into the MoE. He seems like a genuinely good person as far as I can tell. He surrounds himself with other people that are of higher standing in the District, but I'm sure that comes with networking." | "Offered another job as a chef at another party. I'm grateful for the opportunity to work with him and the others, it gives me an opportunity to have my face recognized by tier-fours and above." | "Thank God he knows what he's talking about when it comes to fashion." | "From getting hired at his store to finding myself within the Monetary Oversight Committee he's been nothing but respectable. I'm sorry for getting you threatened by Artemis and causing issues for the MOC altogether but, I didn't ask for this either."
"...Despite him nearly calling me Rhea I still hold a large amount of respect for the man. There's something off about him.. Or, maybe he just doesn't trust me. Not like I can blame him anyway." | "After a long bout of standing around awkwardly in silence while waiting for the infestation to get handled he told me a little bit more about his past, his wife. No one deserves to go through something like that. No one deserves to blame themselves for the death of a loved one." | "Don't let that power get to your head."
"The one person I reached out to say goodbye to. He helped me realize that I needed to pick up the pieces and move my feet before anything worse happened. I know our paths won't cross again but, you were a great role model while it lasted."


Karl Haussen
"A friendly face in the sea of people. He got hired in the secretary position and I believe he'll do good work there. I haven't been able to speak to him too much but, hopefully, that'll change in the near future." | "He pulled quite a favor for me recently which I am very, very thankful for before we had a long talk about what we see happening in the future, learned about him and his past, and he offered me some advice. To say that I'm overly intrigued would be an understatement. I look forward to more conversations." | "You're a savior. One that I can respect. Actions speak louder than words, Mister Haussen. You've supported a fresh start and I am forever grateful."
"There are so many things I could say. I guess I'll settle with thank you."


Percival Thatcher
"Between working on posters for him, being a judge on his show, and casual conversations I've had with him he's overall a good person. I've spoken with him more so after the relocation. He's offered fashion advice to be outfitted for his show alongside Callum and Luca." | "The banter that I can hold with this man is some of the best. He's witty and always keeps me on my toes. Don't worry, I'll have your posters in due time. It just takes me a little bit to focus on that between everything else."
"I hope to reintroduce myself to you whenever you're around again." | "That was short-lived."


Vivian Garnier
"You've helped me more than I could've helped myself. You were nothing but selfless even when you knew there were prying eyes watching your every move. Walker told me he had found something out. Hell, he warned me about it, and with the way things were going I should've connected the dots together sooner. I'm sorry I couldn't reach you in time. I'm sorry that I couldn't do more for you." | "She's.. Not dead but, she's not herself anymore. I think I know what happened to her but.. I pray that she isn't screwed over by the greed of others. I haven't been able to speak to her since her return. I just.. It's a shame."
"She's doing better for herself now. She deserves to be happy."


Elias Siemens
"A funny guy who can crack down and take care of business as needed. He's a fantastic person to hold a conversation with and I can only imagine he would make a great business partner." | "Continue doing what you're doing. I know you helped Dave but, you knew the risks and continued to walk with caution."
"A smart man, I'm sure he's already figured it out. Hopefully, I can enjoy more conversations with him once things settle down."


Heinrich Tischer
"Another suit and tie that investigates the Loyalist party and determines if they stay or depart from it. He holds good etiquette when talking speaking with others and holds the respect of others. Maybe I'll be able to talk to him on better terms in the future, he seems like a good friend to have on your side."
"Hopefully I'll stay off of his radar this time." | "I did. Not like I had the chance to fuck up, anyway."


Ophelie Latourelle
"There is such a strong sense of familiarity when I look at this woman that my mind wraps itself with a fog to prevent me from remembering who she reminds me of. She originated as a friend of Dave and well.. A friend of Dave's is a friend of mine. Despite her frail frame, I can see that she has a spirit that is stronger than any physical strength that's hidden under a few layers of fear."
"You're working with Dave and the others. I was there when you admitted you wanted to help. You should've known better. You have a white armband for fucksakes.. Separate yourself before he burns you too."
"It was your fault they had their information confirmed. You gave them hope because in your ignorance you thought that they could maybe fix me. I'm tired of being viewed as a fragile toy that's been modeled to look how others view me."


Lucas Van der Linden
"Your attempts to offer support, comfort, and protection will not be forgotten. I know that you will continue to handle your tasks and take care of the city's economy one day at a time. You have promise to climb the ladder and I know you'll be just fine."

Jerome Jenkins
"While I couldn't pull you into the MoC through our interview I'm glad to see that you're doing well for yourself. You are a store owner, you just got a promotion in the CWU. I know that you'll continue your path and find the place where you're needed most. Keep doing what you're doing."


The Protectors

XRAY 85
"A fucking psychopath. Time after time he's done nothing but continue to specifically intervene and fuck over anything good that is happening. Pretty much everything you've ever said is a lie complete with nothing but senseless beatings. You make me sick." | "You are almost as much of a monster as Dave McAllen is, yet in your own special way. It must take a lot of work to get the members of your own tagline to want you gone, too."

YELLOW-33
"I understood your anger when we first entered the interrogation room. I hope you understand my side of the story as well. You showed mercy, and compassion even when it came to gathering details. I feel as if this isn't the end of it though. It never really is with you CPs anyways, is it?"

VICE-82
"One who's shown kindness with Dave and me. I have no idea what the two of them talk about but, she's certainly one of the nicer units and hopefully a connection that's willing to help." | "
Dave let you live because you begged to see your child again. I won't say he made a mistake, but I hope you are in the attachment that finally catches him. Bring them hell."

UNION-70
"Threats, beatings, and anger are the three things I think of when I see you. You're nearly as bad as 85, you just haven't been as involved as he has been. It should've been you who fell over the railing instead of the rank leader."


HELIX-57
"Another unit that acts too big and strong for who they actually are. Although, with the influx of attitude issues within the Civil Protection this no longer comes as a surprise. Just, do me a favor and stay out of my hair and I'll stay out of yours, right? Right."

XRAY-79
"You acted as if you were Eighty-Five but, I knew it as soon as I saw your red shoulders. I played the part and acted scared but, this was all a game to some of you anyway and I might as well be the fool who played the part. You've redeemed yourself with our talk earlier. I hold respect for that. You're helping me get out of this mess and swore that you'd help protect me- And for that? I'm forever thankful." | "That Inspektor said it himself. The fact that I'm still standing was done through the "Grace of God... That being the Investigator's Rank Leader.' and I can't help but feel as if he's right. I've been nothing but incredibly lucky and you're the reason that I'm still here."
"I can only hope that my request was honored. I didn't get to say goodbye in person, not like it would've been appropriate to do so anyway. Thank you for protecting me. If it counts for anything, it's not something that I'll forget."


XRAY-24
"Hospitality and kindness. You presented a plan to your rank leader who moved it up the chain of command. You helped me, and gave me pain medications when instructed not to.. You're a good soul, one that I hope sticks around for a long time. Thank you."

XRAY-21
"An asshole, but an honest one. Do me a favor and never utter the words 'good dog' to me ever again." | "Maybe you're not as bad as I initially thought. You were just trying to help." | "Alright, alright. Maybe we just got off on the wrong foot. Between late-night conversations and your efforts to genuinely help I can't help but feel some sort of respect." | "I'll be waiting for that poker game."
"I wish I could've said goodbye to you but I knew that it was better to disappear quietly than to bring more attention to the situation. I hope that you continue to strive for your goals. I hope that you contact your family with that video call. I hope that you survive. You were one of the few people I could call a friend towards the end of my story but, I'm sure you have a few more chapters left in yours. Keep surviving."

JUDGE-07
"A man who claimed to be my Guardian Angel. Maybe he was right but, this seems like more of a punishment due to the actions of others than the actions of my own will. For now, I've said my singular goodbye and I will take my leave silently. Under your direction, I'll remain hopeful that in another life I'll be able to do good. "



The T̶̛̥̗̰́̕͝rait̶̤͙͓͐o̴͖̓̕r̸̪̘͍͂̋̀͘ṡ̵͙̿

Olivier Fournier
"The short French man who's Akira's boyfriend, right? I haven't had the opportunity to speak to him too often, I have seen him around a lot. He's a pleasant person to speak with on occasion." | "Olivier, Olivier.. They changed you. That personality shift isn't going to work in your favor, I suggest you learn how to suppress it quickly." | "Poor kid.. Mentally in shambles and flips between personalities without even realizing it at times. I just hope he doesn't get himself killed at this point." | "It was pure chance that I managed to see you while you were enroute to your departure. Hopefully, calmer seas are ahead of you. Your final request will be handled in time, my friend."
"You're one of them. You willingly joined the trash to support their cancerous cause." | "I'm missing something. You had a combine PDA, you ran when caught. You showed me Rhea Ilyava's grave. My grave. You're.. a strange one, much different than I remember. You've got a bitter anger to you now. Something that we can relate on."


William 'Baldie/Tov' Taylor
"I don't even know where to begin. I hold a lot of respect for someone who can hold their ground. Your values switch up quicker than an ill-tempered cat. You've dragged us into this mess.. Please don't make the same mistake that Chou did." | "This is all your fault."

"You.. Nothing more than a turncoat to keep yourself safe. You side with whatever side gives you the upper hand. Disgusting."

Vladimir Petreniko
"Nothing but respect for this man. He's offered a helping hand on multiple occasions and gives advice where it's requested. He could cash in a favor at any point and I'd happily help him out." | "I'm so sorry for the mess that I caused. I can only hope you understand."
"I have no words for you anymore. I should've thrown you under the bus when I had the chance." | "I'm not the same kind of monster that you are. I don't want to see any more people get hurt. I hope that this can be finally hammered into your thick skull. Please, don't let my actions scare you. I'm not after you, nor do I have any interest in getting you caught."
"You were never really against me, were you? I guess it's too little too late. Keep fighting until you have nothing left to give, Vlad. Thank you for showing me the truth."


Felix Poelking
"I'm starting to warm up to him more and more. He's become a bit more reliable these past few days and he's been talking to me quite a bit about Luca as well as just being a genuine help among other things. I hope to see him stick around for a long time." | "I should've told you about where Vivian had run off to yet, I didn't. I still don't know why I was too scared to tell you only for her to crawl back up to the surface and get murdered. I can see the change in your eyes and I can only pray that you don't end up falling down a path you're going to regret like so many others of the past."
"I know which side you truly stand on. You always tried to do what was best but this.. Just, do what's best for Vivi and leave her out of your plans. If you're going to run away with Olivier then run and don't look back."




The De̷͓̻̍͜a̴̞̋͂͌͌d and Gone

Dave McAllen
"The first person I met when I arrived at City Twenty-Four and a genuine dumbass.. He's managed to keep me alive on multiple occasions. I have no idea where I'd be if he hadn't managed to talk him and me out of everything. I owe him, not like I'd admit it, though." | "Fucking hell.. Another week, another save. Soon enough we're going to hit our goals." | "I.. You really almost left me behind? You were going to go into hiding and leave me? Really?" | "...And you're back on my side. As it should be." | "Just when I thought our story was being brought to an end.. You're back. I know the dust isn't settled yet."
"You are nothing more than a monster. Someone who has handcrafted the worst nightmares that this city has seen." | "I.. Can't believe you dressed up in a CP uniform you ripped from the body of a dead officer. Just.. Stay away. Please, stay away from me."
"You have friends everywhere. You're dangerous and armed. You kept repeating yourself, over and over trying to make me understand that I'm some sort of broken toy that's under the Civil Protection's thumb. With.. The information you're telling me I still can't believe your words to be true."| "There's others that are supporting what you're saying. Same stories from different mouths, all worded naturally. I shouldn't have this many questions yet, everything that you showed me makes me believe that something isn't adding up. Please be wrong about this. I can't go through this anymore."

"...Empty. That's all I feel now. Why aren't I happy he's gone? Why did I cry after I got released from the Nexus? Something.. isn't adding up. You were the missing piece of a puzzle that has been torn away from me. Even after everything you've done, I can't help but feel as if your final words were genuine. The cause of death was cruel.. Something that the worse of the worst should've endured but, you never really killed anyone by your own hands, did you? You barked orders to the others to end the lives of officers while only bloodying your name so your hands and consciousness could stay clean. I think I just need some time to process this.. This isn't right. I don't think this is how I'm supposed to feel."


Tobi Chou
"The second person I met in this City. He was a great accomplice in the beginning but, he quickly became irrational and spun to target his sights at us rather than a common goal. You almost got me murdered with your bullshit. Regardless, you taught me a valuable lesson about trust. Good riddance."

Laura Maxwell
"An ex-co-worker and friend. She's a good person with an interest in the medical field and all around has good intentions. She makes jokes about Dave and me but, honestly, who doesn't at this point." | "While she wasn't able to get into CMRU, she did get into CWU. I got to witness her supervised work shift and despite what she says I know she'll get the hang of it. I hope she continues to grow as a person. I know her and Cardy will continue to get closer too." | "...Well, she doesn't trust me either and I suppose that's fair. Her actions in attacking Dave and I were unwarranted." | "And.. just like that I haven't seen you since. I know that she apparently took a pretty heavy beating from Luca and CP but, I have no clue where she's gone. Perhaps she'll be around again someday."

Grant Pressman
"I have a huge amount of respect for him. He's helped Dave, and by extension myself, on multiple occasions on top of being a good person in general. It's quite obvious to see the work he puts into the CWU as well. I hope to see him go places."
"Death by cop.. That's how to decide to end it? With the billions of people who've died to stand where we are today.. All you had to do was step back against the wall. We talked to you for so long to get you back down to Earth. Your name will be remembered."


Ronnie Tladi-Klaasjies
"Quite the chatterbox who introduced himself into the city just briefly before the relocation. Perhaps by luck, perhaps by force. He seems like an interesting character and I hope to see him around in the near future. He seems like someone who knows how to handle his liquor."
"Dead.. Or missing... Or he didn't come with us when we transferred over."


Mariko De Sato
"A kind and sweet person who's often around the district in the later hours of the night. She's certainly got a curious personality. I hope to have more conversations with her."
"Another one that's vanished from sight. Hopefully she's safe wherever she is."


Boleslawa Kowalski

"...Good fucking God, we're just trying to set things right and ensure you don't get fucked over by one of your 'boys'." | "You're digging your own grave much like we have."
"Are you dead yet? I hope it was slow."


Artemis
"You were so kind when we first met. What happened, Artemis? What the fuck did I do to deserve this? Why can't you see I've got my chips on multiple sides of the table?"
"Dead. I'm glad that Dave confirmed you."


Luca Carusso
"Another suit with something to prove. I introduced myself to him briefly in passing and he managed to pull up my old surname and greeted me with it a few hours later. I have no idea what his gain is in searching through that information or how he had access to it but, it's discomforting at best. I simply don't trust him." | "The more I see him around, the less worried I am about him. There's certainly something off about him, his eyes are missing something, but I don't deem him a threat. I think I'm starting to see eye to eye with him.." | "I run to him whenever I have a problem. I shouldn't, yet I continue to." | "The reason I'm in the loyalist party is because of him. He's upheld his side of the promise. I was almost scared he was going to leave me like the others after that. He just.. Needs to stay safe now and I'll help in any way I can." | "It was my fault you're getting sent to OCR. It's my fault you're being demoted. It's my fault that you were thrown out a window. I'm so sorry."

"While he's not dead, he is gone. The man who gave me anything and everything I wanted. I was so, unbelievably, greedy. I dug my nails into him and dragged him down with me even when I didn't intend to, and he didn't even bat an eye at some of the things I did. I wish I could make it up to him. I know I'll see him again one day... Or at least I hope I get to see him again one day. Maybe I can take a business trip to City-32. Or maybe.. In four months, that was the minimum of his stay in 32. God, I just need to survive."

"I told you I wouldn't make it. What a silly thought it was to expect one of us to live for another three or four months. Whenever you return to Industrial twenty-four I hope you give them hell."

XRAY-90
"A unit that's softer than most of his XRAY counterparts. He handled the interrogation with Dave after claiming he was 'Mentally unfit', which.. Dave isn't. I think I'm starting to piece together what happened thanks to your help. However, you have to understand that loosely veiled threats and scare propaganda about the Vortigaunts are similar to you rolling a set of dice on an ever-losing table. Regardless of that, I think you're one of the good ones. I hope you stay around." | "You got killed trying to retrieve Dave and bring him back up from the sewers. I can only hope it was quick."


Archibald Hawthorne
"A new transfer from another city shifted into an interim position. I'm sure we'll continue to talk soon, I can tell you have some interesting stories." | "A man with a tongue of silver, I swear. His flattery is impressive and he's gone out of his way to speak with me and calm me down after interrogation. I can't help but feel as if I'm missing something here.." | "Gone. Cycled back out, most likely."



〘 A Reflection 〙

Rhea Le'Cross
The Ashes

My name. Not a fake name, or my mother's maiden name. M̴̗̝͈̉̀͆̑̑ͅỵ̴̅̒̕ ̸̡͙̥̈́̐̋̓̀̚͜n̸͙̰͝a̵̛̝͗̆̑m̵̝̗̳̻̲͝͠ͅẹ̶͔̼̭̬̏͌̓̀͝. A name that was quickly denounced to feel safer against the drama between City-13 and us. A name that was changed after Í̵͇̚ was cut free from being an informant. A name that was m̶̜̏e̷͚͒͊. The name that was m̷̻̳̣̯̮͎̥̞͉̗͓̉̈́̅͑͐̏̀̋̂̉̉͂ÿ̴̪́͌̎́̊̂ steppingstone. A very eclectic and French name of a Dutch girl who just wanted to be left alone. A girl who dug through trash with a m̷̳̺͠ö̴͍n̴̲̭̑s̴͉̱̓̃t̶̜̟̑͝e̵̹͆̐͜r̴̛͈̦ named York; who ran around in the sewers; who messed with Civil protection for f̶̘͆̀u̶̡̠͑̍ǹ̴̝̚. The name of a girl who was tired. The name of a girl who was cast into the fire and broke apart. The name of a girl who never made it out of District 11 where The Ashes were spread.

Rhea Ilyava
The Embers

A chosen name for a broken woman. A name that was forged in hopes of redemption. A name that made too many mistakes and too many enemies. A name that held onto too much hope and too many f̴̳̆r̷̥̊i̵͈̿e̴̙͐ǹ̶͖d̴̞̈ś̸̫. And thankfully, a name which I will no longer be associated with. The name of someone that constantly lived in fear from two sides of the same coin. A girl who dug her nails into anyone and anything she thought would make the world a better place and tried to run with them. Someone who was selfi̸̯͍̯͕͈̇̊͛̿̉͘̚͜sh, d̶̬̜͔͑͠ȩ̶̨̤̃structi̵͆̓͌͑͘ͅve, r̷̗̽e̶̞̊p̴͉͊u̵̢̔l̸͓̕ś̶͍í̵̘v̵̫́ȅ̵̙, ǹ̴͕̒̾̆͐͑͊͐ai̷̙̠͊̇ve, and greȩ̴͉̦̣̉d̵̺̼̬͑̀̿͐̀̾͘y. Someone who was scarred and scared to be in a room by herself. Someone who couldn't walk her own path. But it was my name.

The name of a girl who was once again cast into the fire. Yet this time, left in the fire for much too long, fueling itself until she couldn't give anymore. The Embers left scorch marks and imprints in steel that has already claimed its damage. Damage that cannot be undone yet, maybe hidden.

The Flames
A name crafted out of broken shards of personality, memories, and reflection before being put strung together with the promise of a better future. A name that will feed off of The Ashes and The Embers to allow a new life to be breathed into The Flames.
A fresh start. A new beginning. A clean slate. A tabula rasa.


"And just as all things, we are returned to the ashes in hopes that one day we may be recycled and reborn."
