PlanetDeusEx

Deus Diablo

**PlanetDeusEx** or **PDX** is the name of the city as well as the city's government in The Nameless Mod. The phrase is usually used to refer to the government as the city is usually shortened to simply Forum City.

## Overview

PlanetDeusEx is presented as the moral faction of the game. Allying with the faction will have Trestkon act more friendly than being allied with WorldCorp. The plot of the PlanetDeusEx story involves helping Forum City and its populace.

## Pre-TNM Events

PlanetDeusEx was formed during Planetization, the event which brought the old Deus Ex Incarnate city to the GameSpy network. Out of the two surviving DXI moderators, Despot and Digital Ronin, one of them was set to become admin of the city, as per Gwog's wishes. As Digital Ronin left the city after helping form the city, Despot became the admin and liaison between the city and GameSpy.

Phasmatis and King Kashue were apparently moderators of something previously, leading to their nomination as new moderators of the city, along with Trestkon and Deus Diablo on September 28th, 2002. On September 30th, 2002, Trestkon declined the nomination, leading to Deus Diablo to become the third moderator, with Phasmatis and Kashue.

Either on August 31st 2002 or a few days before the PDX HQ Bombing occurred, where DXO accidentally blow up the old PDX HQ when trying to burn newspapers in a truck.

## Events in TNM

### Forum City (Day 1)

After arriving in Forum City, Phasmatis requests Trestkon to meet him in his apartment, where he gives him a briefing on the situation in the city and that he was called to help find who kidnapped Deus Diablo.

After leaving the building Phasmatis informs Trestkon that King Kashue wants to make sure that Trestkon is still in shape to run the investigation, with his two year absence possibly making him rusty. He requests that he finds 1000 credits to pay for a Subway Pass to meet him in the Corporate District, stating that if he isn't resourceful enough to complete this task he won't be in good enough condition to succeed with further tasks they give.

Trestkon then helps the users of the city in order to earn credits, such as helping Jimmycracker retrieve his Valuable Painting, helping Abomination retrieve a kidnapped Llama member, and helping the Firewalls deal with Master Kale and the N00Bz gang.

After obtaining a subway pass Trestkon enters the Corporate District, where he can optionally talk to King Kashue in the PDX HQ or Scara B. King in the WorldCorp HQ. Each of them gives an objective to Trestkon, save or kill Silver Dragon, trapped in the underground parking lot of the WorldCorp HQ. Silver Dragon broke into the headquarters to find evidence regarding WorldCorp's involvement in the Deus Diablo Kidnapping. Saving Silver Dragon allies Trestkon with **PlanetDeusEx**.

After saving Silver Dragon, Trestkon goes to the PDX HQ, receiving his new objective. Trestkon infiltrates the WorldCorp HQ, planting a Black Box on the WorldCorp HQ Floor 2 servers and disabling the electrowave screening field from WorldCorp HQ Floor 3.

The files obtained from the black box include files directly from Scara B. King's computer, showing his interest in the Deus Ex Incarnate exploration project and the Firestaff. Obtaining the firestaff would allow PDX to find Deus Diablo, and conversely if Scara B. King obtained it he would be able to prevent PDX from having it, removing their ability to find Deus Diablo. Trestkon offers to retrieve the firestaff from the DXI ruins, but is told he is unable to; the link to the entrance was shut off by Scara's AI, ShadowCode during an attempt to steal Despot's admin password, damaged and made inside, it hid inside and took control of the Old Server Complex.

In order to gain access to the Old Server Complex, Trestkon has to get to the New Server Complex hidden in Goat City. The entrance to Goat City is hidden to all but the Goats, requiring Trestkon to ally with the Llama or Goat cult to locate the entrance. Dark Templar can be found in the Voodoo Shop, requesting that Trestkon steal the plans for the improved Spork design from the Llamas. Trestkon can either steal the plans, tell Abomination to hand him fake plans, or kill Dark Templar to find an image of the entrance.

Once inside Goat City Trestkon enters the New Server Complex, going to the basement and powering up the fusion generator there to power the elevator. Inside the Old Server Complex Trestkon disables the servers inside, isolating ShadowCode to the final server before removing him from the system altogether, moving him to his brain temporarily before once again isolating ShadowCode to a non-networked computer, removing its power from the facility permanently.

After returning from the Server Complex, the Llama or Goat cult contact Trestkon if allied, requesting that he help them with their holy quest/hoely qvest. Beefman asking Trestkon to destroy the valves to the melk flow in Goat City and Dark Templar requesting that Trestkon destroy the Llama's sacred stone tablets in their caverns.

With the access to DXI restored, Trestkon returns to the PDX HQ for a briefing and the key to the entrance. He then goes to the Slums, finding Pimp-Jojo of DXO waiting for him, asking him to attach a black box to the DXI servers in return for Augmentations. Trestkon then activates the power to the elevator down to the ruins, entering DXI.

### Deus Ex Incarnate

Arriving in the Deus Ex Incarnate ruins, Trestkon meets Beeblequix the leader of the abandoned excavation project. Trestkon learns about the hostile environment of the ruins and how the project was shut down after the deaths of some explorers. Optionally, Trestkon enters the Deus Ex Incarnate HQ to help plant a black box on the servers to help Pimp-Jojo and show that he would possibly be open to helping DXO.

Progressing through the caverns, Trestkon reaches the Deus Ex Incarnate Moderator Control Room complex, where ZeroPresence is waiting (if alive). After killing, knocking-out, or bypassing the fight, Trestkon reaches the moderator control room, obtaining the firestaff.

With the firestaff obtained the automatic security systems lock down the elevator to the surface. Trestkon goes to the Deus Ex Incarnate Ruins to access the thread control complex to re-enable it, either by blowing up the consoles or activating the executable program on the computer, given by Evil Invasion. When entering the thread control complex the ceiling caves in, knocking out Trestkon for 10 hours, Scara B. King starting the Invasion of Forum City in the meantime.

### Forum City (Day 2)

Upon returning from the DXI ruins Trestkon finds the Slums taken over by WorldCorp forces, primarily to stop him. After avoiding the enemies in the area and reaching the subway he finds that DXO have set up a hostage situation with explosives because they're stuck and scared, they request that Trestkon enable the subway power so they can leave, a situation he has to do as he needs to leave the Slums using the subway. After entering the sewers and enabling the power he takes the subway back to the Corporate District where a war is happening between PDX and WorldCorp.

After reaching the PDX HQ offices and handing the firestaff to the moderators it is used to locate Deus Diablo, who is found to not be in Forum City, but in space, above ForumPlanet. Trestkon is ordered to get to Deus Diablo, by going to Aunt Betty Industries and taking one of the Space Shuttles they've been secretly working on.

However, ABI started a revolution against WorldCorp while Trestkon was in the DXI ruins, and the only land route was destroyed, requiring air transport in. The only remaining helicopter belongs to Kevo-sama who was captured in the Slums by DXO. Trestkon goes to the Slums and talks to his contact there, Vavrek who mentions that the DXO members responsible mentioned sneaking past Jackie, who works in Sol's Bar.

The cults once again contact Trestkon, asking him to perform another quest for them, killing Athena for the Llamas and killing Beefman for the Goats.

Going to Sol's Bar, reveals that it was bombed during the night, with Alpha Operator outside in shock. Trestkon can find the bombers inside the abandoned building and kill them to comfort Alpha Operator. Going inside the bar Trestkon talks to Winquman and Jackie, Jackie mentioning that she hears sounds behind the bar in the alley where SymGeosis lives, but never sees anything, suggesting that they are Cloaked. Trestkon then contacts Aemer to use his fire escape to enter the alley and goes into the freezer, finding the secret entrance to the DXO HQ.

Once inside the HQ he finds the DXO members to be tense but friendly to him, asking him to talk to their leader TheRenegadeMaster. Once talked to, TheRegenadeMaster asks Trestkon to enter his office and listen to a recording of Despot talking to a person called Silverdawn, hearing Despot give his allegiance to GameSpy. TheRenegadeMaster then tells Trestkon he will free Kevo-sama in exchange for Trestkon going back to the moderators, requesting they ally together to strike down both Despot and GameSpy before they know it.

When Trestkon returns to the moderators, they call a meeting and agree to ally with DXO. Trestkon returns to the DXO HQ to inform TheRenegadeMaster who lets Trestkon free Kevo-sama, who then goes to the Slums and flies Trestkon to Aunt Betty Industries.

### Aunt Betty Industries

After arriving at Aunt Betty Industries, either with their pilot, Kevo-sama or Midashand, or crashing their helicopter trying to fly it themselves, Trestkon navigates through the frozen mountainous exterior of the ABI facility. Arriving at the compound, Trestkon can help Hao Niu-rou escape from the factory, go into the interior of the office building, or head directly into the Aunt Betty Industries Ruins from the secret hatch in the cargo area.

In the office building, Trestkon is asked to find the construction plans for the top floor and search the archives for evidence to use for banning Ryan. The offices lead down into the ruins.

The ruins are home to the ABI elite commando corp. In the ruins, if Slicer or ZeroPresence weren't killed during the Deus Ex Incarnate fight they will be encountered at the end of the area, knocking out Trestkon (if he loses) and locking him up in a cell in the ruins. Trestkon can either threaten, bribe, or make the guard pity him to escape.

The ruins lead to the Aunt Betty Industries Labs, where the conflict between WorldCorp and ABI is most intense. Trestkon fights through the labs until coming across the Leviathan, activating it to blast through to the space tech labs. When entering the labs Endar talks to Trestkon, telling him that Ryan is above and wishes to talk to him. Talking to Ryan has him make Trestkon a proposition, help him and destroy the space station, creating anarchy on the planet and removing both PDX and WorldCorp's power from the city. After opening the blast doors, Trestkon takes the Space Shuttle to the space station.

### HTTP GameSpy

On reaching the space station, King Kashue tells Trestkon to locat Deus Diablo. After Trestkon goes to the apartment where Deus Diablo is held he helps him escape back to the space shuttle. With Deus Diablo safe Jonas sends Trestkon to the engineering bay to the Annihilation Plants to cause a "dissonance cascade" and disable them.

By disabling the annihilation plants GameSpy's control of the station is significantly reduced. King Kashue then orders Trestkon to the AI module to remove the locks on The Narcissus Entity, freeing it from GameSpy's control. With the annihilation plants disabled and Narcissus removed from GameSpy's control, Kashue orders Trestkon to the top floor of the station to find the master control mainframe to ban Scara. Trestkon then reaches the console and bans Scara, removing WorldCorp's power from the city.

## Post-TNM Events

### PDX Ending

In the PDX ending, GameSpy is defeated and their shadow government and control of their forums is removed. The HTTP GameSpy station is left in operation but under control of PDX, who try to divert all the power on it to the individual Planets on ForumPlanet, allowing their moderators to have full control over their forums. Phasmatis and King Kashue give Trestkon sole control of the codes to the station, ensuring that no other individual can access the controls of the station.

### WC Ending

In the WC ending, the ROFL is used by Trestkon to destroy PDX HQ, the beam strong enough to kill all the moderators inside. Despot's power is removed and he is eventually removed from the city, either by killing, banning, or exile. WorldCorp takes over the city and Scara or Trestkon rule it with an iron fist.

### ABI Ending

In the ABI ending, the HTTP GameSpy station is destroyed, removing all infrastructure for the city and removing the moderator's powers, leaving them vulnerable and unable to ban. The result causes anarchy in the city, leaving the community to control itself.
