Anarky wants to purge Gotham of corruption, but his methods involve wanton destruction. His idealism is matched with a self-importance that makes reasoning with him nearly impossible - he needs to be dealt with physically and imprisoned to keep this city safe. Should be approached with caution.

### Extortion File 1

**Gordon:** This is Gordon.
**Anarky:** I know who you are.
**Gordon:** Who is this?
**Anarky:** I’ve seen your record. Impressive. In a city full of dirt, you’re the only one with a clean jacket.
**Gordon:** I need a trace started!
**Anarky:** But despite a clean record, you are still just an instrument of oppression at the beck and call of your corporate masters.
**Gordon:** I work for the city of Gotham, not some corporation.
**Anarky:** Are you really so naive? The government is owned by corporate America, the city is owned by Bruce Wayne, and the mayor couldn’t wipe his own ass without permission from people like Rupert Thorne. You’re a cog in the machine, Gordon. And that machine is voracious. That machine must be stopped.
**Gordon:** So, you’re doing me a favour of some kind?
**Anarky:** That’s right. I’m here to help the misguided. Despite your chosen profession, your record suggests you could be reformed. So, a warning: get out, Gordon. Get out while you can.
**Gordon:** Hello? Hello? Did we get the trace? Encrypted? Sonuva -

### Extortion File 2

**Cop:** You wanna eat, dontcha?
**Hobo:** Yeah, but…
**Cop:** Listen. I got you on possession, B ‘n E, trespassing - hell, I got you on loitering. So? What’s it gonna be?
**Hobo:** Alright, alright. What do I gotta do?
**Cop:** Simple. You get ‘em riled up. You know? You blend in, you make suggestions. Hey, there’s a fat cat - let’s roll his car. Hey, let’s burn that building down, those corporate bastards put us out in the street. And if you have to, you kick in the first widow, you throw the first molotov.
**Hobo:** But… that’s what they’re gonna do anyway.
**Cop:** Yeah, so they say. But talk is cheap. No one wants to be the first one to do it. That’s where you come in.
**Hobo:** Ain’t burnin’ down a buildin’ gonna get me in more trouble than I’m already in?
**Cop:** Well, yeah. But that’s why you got me. I’m on your side, friend. You get ‘em started, and then you get the hell outta there before us boys in blue start crackin’ heads. I’ll make sure the heat doesn’t come down on you - so long as you don’t get yourself caught.
**Hobo:** I don’t know about this.
**Cop:** Look, this prick… Anarky or whatever - he ain’t got your best interest in mind, right? He’s got his own agenda and he’s just usin’ you like he’s using everybody else. You bring him out in the open, we bring ‘im down, and everyone has a merry Christmas. So? We got a deal?
**Hobo:** Yeah. Yeah. Deal.
**Cop:** You made the right choice. Now… will that be light or dark meat?
