Act I Story

You start in Russell Square, where your commlink suddenly comes alive. Not literally, but there's a man begging for your help. His name is Murmur and you find him down the street from you. Together, you find a dead Templar. You take an important message off his corpse and go with Murmur to Holborn Station.

In Holborn Station, Murmur urges you to help the people, starting with Techsmith 101. He needs you to gather capacitors from demons for him, so he can get the door open, and you and Murmur can deliver the message to Brandon Lann in Covent Garden Station.

Brandon mourns his dead friend and sends you to complete his mission, finding Dr. Fawkes. To do this, you need to enter the Hellrift in Covent Garden Market and fight the demons, including Shulgoth, who block your way. The Doctor is dead, so you bring his remains back to Brandon. The scientists search his remains and belongings and find a device.

Brandon and the scientists aren't sure what the Fawkes Device is or what it does, except that it has something to do with Hellrifts. He gives it to you and sends you off to the British Museum to use it in a Hellrift. It turns out that the device is a bomb, and you have to exit the rift with haste. Back in the Museum, Emperor Gulkar attacks you. When you defeat him, a truth is revealed to you.

When you return to Covent Garden Station, Brandon listens to your report and takes some time to think things through, ending Act I. He soon has another task for you, beginning Act II.
