| The Mick |
|---|
You are fighting The Mick.
You charge into the room, ready for a fight, and run right into some sort of invisible force field. On the other side is your old "friend" Michael Ace, wearing an impressively tailored mechanical exosuit.
"I should have known," you mutter. "You always were too much trouble."
Ace shrugs, and says "I could say the same thing. That's why this is going to end. Here. Now."
"Hey, that's my line!" you object. "And 'The Mick'? What's that about, anyway? 'Ace' isn't an Irish name."
"Oh, I'm not Irish. Way back they used to call me 'The Michael' but eventually it just got shortened to Mick. You know how these things go."
"But what about all those stolen goods? You're a billionaire! You could just buy what you need."
"Shows what you know. Buying things leaves a trail, and sometimes it's better to remain in the shadows. And some things, like the nostronomium powering this suit, simply can't be bought for any price."
You pound on the force field. "Are you going to let me through or not?"
"Patience, <player>, patience. As soon as I'm ready."
The Mick eyes your aura, and quaffs some potions to compensate.
Optional:
- The Mick looks you up and down, gauging your experience, and then ratchets up a few dials on his exosuit.
- Not liking what he senses about your accuracy, the Mick pushes a button on the suit. A soothing computer voice speaks: "Targeting unit activated." Great.
- Not liking what he senses about your agility, the Mick pushes a button on the suit. A soothing computer voice speaks: "Evasive subroutine activated." Wonderful.
- The Mick eyes your defenses, and decides to attach a suitable shield to his exosuit.
The Mick flips three switches on this exosuit. His weaponry begins to glow shades of <three colors>.
Optional:
- Apparently feeling cocky, the Mick picks up a coin from his desk, flips it once, and drops it into a pocket.
- Apparently feeling cocky, the Mick takes a moment to clear a couple of things from his desk, whistling while he works. Man, what a jerk.
- Apparently feeling cocky, the Mick takes a moment to clear a couple of things from his desk, whistling while he works. As a final show of confidence, he slips an oversize vest atop his exosuit, hooks his thumbs into the arm holes, and waggles his eyebrows at you. Man, this guy thinks he's something special, doesn't he?
Done with his preparations, The Mick slaps a panel on the wall, and the force field separating the two of you dissipates.

Michael Ace goes down to one knee, his exosuit sparking, servos and struts pushed past the point of functioning. With a brutal swipe you rip the glowing core right out of the exosuit's chest-panel, and Ace and the machinery collapse in a heap, all of the fight taken out of them. You know he's not going anywhere. All that's left is to make sure the final room is clear, and you can drag him in to Twilight PD.
You got an item: trimensional cortex

- If you encounter The Mick with a temporary sidekick, the sidekick is removed with the following message, preceding the regular text:
