Welcome to Gaia! ::

Anticipating this problem, Adam Payne is not the one making the call. He has an automated messenger that makes the calls for him. Keeps his hands clean and lowers the risk of the public seeing him doing bad things.

On a different note, which character would be better to make in general, Cormac (an anti-syndicate activist) or an anti-syndicate activist with the ability to survive an encounter with two hit men? Or a mix of both?

I'd imagine it'd be more entertaining if Cormac had some degree of defense. If he's going to oppose the deadliest organization of criminal masterminds, he'll need more than balls to back him up; he ought to be able to fight back or at least employ people who can.

First and foremost, as most don't ever really see it coming, he'll need to have some way to get some distance as soon as he's shot. Unless he walks around in thick body armor in open public—common in the colony, but not so much there—he'll likely get shot in the legs. If he has bodyguards, they may drag him into the train, the only nearby location with an appropriate defense against the shots.

As far as the train station goes, it has a transparent, half dome roof in the image. It'll be exposed on the other side, where my bounty hunter will be settled atop a building to fire. It also happens to be beside the rail where the the train will be passing a minute or so after the train begins to move. In other words, the most convenient spot to get away is the train itself, but if he takes the train, there's no escape, as the bounty hunter will simply descend atop the train and engage him close to apprehend him.

If for some reason Cormac decides to take the risk and make way for the stairs or elevators several yards away, the bounty hunter will abandon his spot and pursue him via jet pack.

My question is: Why ask for two people and never mention the other is in pursuit?

Wouldn't that jeapordize the mission? After all, the two bounty hunters are very independent. I don't think either would be too happy with the competition, and not just pissed at one another. Wait a second, I thought Lockdown generally didn't operate under big organizations like the Syndicate?

Will Omega be making an appearance during this mission?

I'd imagine that they'd fight to a stalemate, or well, a deadlock. Where one lacks, the other excels, and it wouldn't compliment the other well if either lost.

Deadlock isn't inherently good with close quarter combat. His adaptive muscle memory requires him to observe first, which is why he generally uses guns. He fights people to be their equal, which is where he gains the name, but breaks it by carrying his advantage of an impressive arsenal.

I think that Deadlock would immediately assume he's trying to poach, which would've led up to their brawl. After having an agitating time trying to shoot him, he'd see enough to mimic his fighting style, drop his guns, which leads to them being evenly matched since Deadlock's disarmed, and they don't seem to be gaining the upper hand on one another.

Maybe Lockdown can comment about the desired status of Cormac as alive, at which point Deadlock replies that Cormac wouldn't be alive by then if he intended to kill him, commenting how it isn't how the Syndicate would want him.

And you're right, it's better off Omega make a cameo.

Depending on when and where Omega chooses to attack, I'm kind of interested in having a moment in which Gwen tries to defend him anyways.

What do you guys want Talia to do in this regard? Since I have no idea what is going on, but its really rare for her to be apart from Gwen. Don't want to accidentally mess up you guys' game plan.
