The Man in the Bowler Hat: Mission Idea (New Update: part 4 Complete!)

This is an idea that I had for a event/mission. It would be great to promote the new DLC too. All guardians receive a notification telling them that the post master has a package for them. The guardian flies to the tower as normal and... Cutscene Begin! The guardian has transmatted to the tower and approaches the post master. Guardian: You have a package for me? PM: Yes, just a moment, let me get it. Suddenly, at the tower entrance, a new person transmats in. He wears a bowler hat, an old fashion fine suit and a well trimmed beard. He carries a cane which he precedes to spin about on his wrist before he catches it and taps the end onto the ground. He looks about with a slight smirk on his face, then speaks with a slight British accent. ??: Well seems this place hasn't changed much. His eyes fall on you and his smirk deepens. ??: Hello there. New, eh? (takes a second look at you) Well at least new to me. Names Donovan. Donovan Matthews. Before the guardian can respond Ikora can be seen in the background walking briskly toward him. Donovan claps the guardian on the shoulder. Donovan: Well I really must be going, now. We'll have to continue this later. He walks calmly towards Ikora. As she approaches she reaches behind her and pulls out a gun. She points the gun at Donovan, her face a mask of grim determination and showing the effort it takes to keep that mask there. Donovan: Ikora, love, I missed you too. Hope your not still upset about that little incident, last time. Ikora: That "little incident" nearly cost me my life! Donovan: (Sheepishly) My sources simply told me that there would be a big shipment of supplies to the Fallen in that area. They failed to mention that the shipment consisted of several active Walkers. Ikora:(Disgusted)Tch! (Then Angry) What the hell are you doing here Donovan?! Half the tower thought you were dead, and the other half either don't know about you, or want to kill you themselves. Hell, Cayde-6 has a drone with your face on it that he uses for target practice. The only reason I am here is 'cause I am the only one with the the self control not to shoot you on sight! (pushes the gun a bit closer) But. I. Am. Starting. To Lose. My Grip. Donovan:(flashes a smile) Very well then, let's get down to business. Part 2: [spoiler] Donovan: I have the coordinates to a colony of refugees, Humans and Exos that survived the collapse and managed to survive in the wilderness all this time. Ikora: Impossible... Donovan: I know. They emerged from temporal stasis chambers about a two and half years ago from what I could gather. During the Collapse their underground testing facility went on independent generators and activated a cloaking device that blanketed the entire facility. They've stayed in stasis for all the centuries since then. (Ikora 's face shows both doubt and astonishment but she lowers her weapon.) Think about the knowledge they must have, dear. Think of the technology, generators that can run without stopping for centuries and these stasis chambers, were just prototypes, only ones of their kind ever built.(Donovan has worked his way behind her and is now leaning over her shoulder and speaking softly into her ear.) Think of all the data stored in that facility preserved from the Golden Age. (Ikora spins round and steps back. she hefts her weapon as if holding it ready but does not take aim. ) Ikora: How do I know this is true? Donovan: (nonchalantly) Don't even kid. You know I don't tell lies. Besides, do you honestly think that I would show my face if I didn't have something valuable to give in return for safety... Well, don't you think this is enough? (He holds out a data chip) Ikora: (deep in thought) Yes. (She manages shakes herself free her of thoughts, somewhat) Yes. Of course. You've done very well Donovan. Thank you for this. (She tries to take the chip, but Donovan's grip remains tight. She pauses and they stare silently at each other for a moment) And you have my guarantee of your safety here in the tower. (Donovan smile brightens as he relinquishes the chip, and Ikora visibly cringes.) Donovan: Pleasure doing business with you. (Donovan walks back toward the tower entrance and transmats out.) (Ikora stands in place with her brow furrowed. The guardian walks up to her.) Guardian: Who was that? Ikora: Now is not a good time guardian. Guardian: Yeah. I seem to get that alot. Ikora: (she looks at the guardian briefly and sighs) You have done a great deal for us, I suppose you should know.. Donovan is.. I suppose the best term is an information broker. He is smart, devious and clever, and he always gets the better end of the bargain. Ghost: So, why did you just make deal him exactly? Ikora: Because he always has the information we need, right when we most need it. Because, even if it's incomplete, his information is never wrong, and because I haven't yet figured out how he's going to screw me over... And now he's back scheming again.. What does he have planned for us this time. (Ikora pauses and is again lost in thought.) (Donovan appears again, transmatting in at the steps) Donovan: Oh, yes, I did almost forget. The colony does not seem to have gone unnoticed by our friends either. I have seen where a large Hive seeder landed in the area, and there were a few Fallen Skiffs headed that way to do patrol. You better hurry if you want to get there first.(tips his hat as he transmats out again, while Ikora yells at him) Ikora: You son of a.. (Shouts in Frustration. Then runs toward the steps, and yells over her shoulder.) Quickly Guardian! We have to act now! Cutscene End.[/spoiler] Part 3 and 4 - The mission and the aftermath Click [url=http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/71874370/0/0/1]here[/url]. Donovan AKA Bowler Hat, would not need to become a part of the main story line. He could have his own story line that is released slowly here and there as the main story progresses.

  • Why an actual suit. Maybe a suit like the level 1-5 warlock gear in black with white trim around the neck. It's very short and could resemble a suit. The hat is cool, but in missions he could have a unique warlock helmet exclusive to him.
