Agency Whistleblower

The **Agency Whistleblower** is a character in *Crackdown 2*. He is a double agent working for both the Agency and Cell, often collaborating with Catalina Thorne to reveal Agency secrets.

## Audio Logs

### An Approach

**Whistleblower:** "Miss Thorne, forgive me, but I had to contact you. You speak so passionately about finding the cause of the virus outbreak. In light of the tragic events that befell you and your friends in North Unity Heights I... I feel I must share certain information with you."

### Dead Drops

**Whistleblower:** "Miss Thorne, the more questions you ask, the more the spotlight turns on those in the Agency who prefer to remain in darkness. Security is tightening and internal surveillance is heightened so we can no longer meet in person. Instead I will deposit messages close to where we have met previously. Look for the sign."

### Agency Unrest

**Whistleblower:** "Miss Thorne, something is stirring within the Agency - something big. They massively underestimated the creature numbers in North Unity Heights but for some reason they will not deploy our own genetic freaks, the Agents. I hear rumors they plan to wall off the entire area."

### Encryption Key

**Whistleblower:** "The Agency has launched an internal investigation. I want you to know that this will not deter me from brining you the truth. However, we may want to take additional precautions. My future communications will be encrypted. The key is embedded within the file so please... keep it safe."

### The Agents' Demise

**Whistleblower:** "Miss Thorne, I've discovered the shocking truth behind the conspicuous absence of Agents. I hope you still have the means to decrypt my messages. The Agency's denials of an antidote are hollow. It exists and works on humans at least... It was administered to every Agent in the force but within days they had lost muscle mass and skill memory, so they were terminated by the Agency. Now the Agency will never release the antidote - even if that means the death of millions of innocent citizens."

### A Warning

**Whistleblower:** "This morning I attended a briefing which chilled me to the bone. I couldn't wait to leave so I could get this warning to you. The Freaks will soon breach the walls around North Unity Heights and all of Pacific City will be doomed. But this is not the Agency's main concern... Increased scrutiny since the outbreak is threatening to remove their veil of secrecy so they have initiated a plan to deflect attention to another target. I'm so sorry, Miss Thorne - Catalina, it's you."

### Birth Of A Monster

**Whistleblower:** "Catalina, it pains me to see what's happening to you. I wish I could tell you this will be over soon, but I fear it may only be the beginning... Painting you as the villain has eased pressure on the Agency so their little charade continues. A crack team is now rifling through your past in search of anything that might smear you or your cause. The Agency has a grip on all media to deny coverage to you and your campaign. I wish I had better news, Catalina. Stay strong."

### Infiltration

**Whistleblower:** "Catalina, I know you strongly advocate peaceful protest but how you manage to keep calm in the face of such provocation astounds me. Your rallies to release the antidote concern the Agency. They fear revolution. Be warned, Catalina: in an effort to portray you as desperate, and your Cell movement as a collection of thugs, undercover Peacekeepers are infiltrating your gatherings to initiate violence. The Agency is in disarray. North Unity Heights is all but lost. I hear rumors of mass evacuations and more walls. When will they learn..."

### Evacuation

**Whistleblower:** "Catalina, by now you know that North Unity Heights Island has been evacuated and a new containment wall established. I wish this was the full story. The evacuation was a disaster. Many were left on the other side of the new containment wall to further swell the Freak numbers. It's only a matter of time before they find a way through the perimeter. Catalina, you must get word to the citizens. Make them realize the danger. The Agency LIES!"

### Extreme Measures

**Whistleblower:** "Catalina, if you are unsure of the extremes to which the Agency will go to protect their secrecy, heed this cautionary tale... After the Gang Wars, key journalists began investigating Agency methods and motives. Soon after, at an Agency press conference, these truth-seekers were silenced by a deadly explosion. The Agency declared this a terrorist attack and vowed to hunt down those responsible. But this was an Agency operation, Catalina. THIS is what you are up against."

### Sunburst: The Truth

**Whistleblower:** "The Sunburst Defense System is not all it seems. Catalina, this information is of the utmost importance. Use it wisely... The Agency's stealth project is a population-control solution called Sunburst. It delivers precision strikes against anyone, anytime... anywhere. This gives the Agency exactly what they crave: absolute control of Pacific City's people. Eliminating the Freaks is a smokescreen to cover the installation of Sunburst. Soon the Agency will turn on those who stand against them. That means Cell... and you, Catalina!"

### The Net Closes

**Whistleblower:** "Catalina, this is it! Freaks are running wild and Sunburst has been derailed by your organization. The Agent cloning program is close to bearing fruit again but will no doubt prove another false dawn. Victory is yours! As for me... Peacekeepers are at this very moment tearing my quarters apart for evidence of my treachery. I won't make it difficult for them. Goodbye, Miss Thorne. And good luck."
