Good Karma
"I would change the world."
Reggie agrees that the DUP is in the wrong and collapses in defeat, unsure of what to do. Delsin pulls his brother to his feet abd gives him a quick pep talk. "We're Akomish. We take care of our own. And right now, we're going to take care of you." The four hatch a plan to bring down Augustine.
First, Reggie takes a visit to Courdon Cay, claiming he's there to transfer some prisoners on behalf of Augustine. The guards call Augustine to confirm and she demands an explanation from Reggie. Reggie claims that he's going to use the prisoners as bait to catch Hank and The Neon Hand. This convinces Augustine and Reggie escorts Fetch bsck into Seattle and reunites her with The Neon Hand, who Delsin had smughled back into the city after revealing their plan.
The Neon Hand, The Akomish, and Delsin's smugglers all start riots around the city, causing the DUP to spread out to supress them. This allows Reggie, Delsin, Hank, Fetch, and the Seattle PD to begin their assault on the Cordon Cay. (Bonus cameo from Zeke as he rides in with the townspeople of New Marias to assist after he saw the raid on the news. "It's what an old friend of mine would've done.") Delsin and Reggie double team Augustine at the top of the tower in a glorious climactic showdown. Augustine's plan is revealed to the world and most of the Conduits of Cordon Cay are set free (after a quick background check).
The stories of the Conduits who were wrongfully arrested are broadcast world wide and Augustine's plan is exposed. It doesn't instantly fix everything, but it's a start. Eugene is revealed to be doing better after therapy, Hank is allowed to live with his daughter legally, abd Fetch gets to serve parole as a member of the Patron Saints (named from Zeke's insistence). Delsin and Reggie walk home after a long days work and Zeke watches them walk into the sunset before looking down at an old photo in his hands.
"Funny how people talk about Conduits. Conduits are some of the most human people I know. When I look at thise two, it reminds me of the good old times. It's a long road ahead, but they'll see it through. I just wish you were here to meet them brother."
Evil Karma
"I can't change the world. I'd love to, but I can't. I can only help us survive in it."
With a deep, heavy, heartbroken sigh, Reggie shoves Betty and Delsin aside, grabs Hank, and drags him out the door. Reggie locks the bars to his cell at Cordon Cay and sighs in defeat. Augustine, in a rare moment of sympathy, asks him what's wrong. Reggie explains, without being specific, the his tribe wouldn't approve of what he's done and he likely won't be welcome back. Augustine is sympathetic, but tells him "You're a good man to leep going. It hurts to do the right thing sometimes, but it's all we can do. I just hope, for your sake, they'll understand that eventually."
Cut to a few weeks later, Reggie is called out into the field. Several riots had sprun up over the city and all hands were needed to supress them. Reggie realizes, with horror, that the people he's fighting are the Akomish. After a while, the comms towers go down and Reggie has to fix them. Once they're all up and running, he's told Curdon Cay is ubder direct assault and he needs to hurry back. Delsin, Hank, Fetch, abd Eugene are all leading a direct assault and Reggie is the only one left who can take them down.
After a quick boss rush (including Zeke to make you feel even worse), Reggie reaches the top of the tower. Delsin is already standing over Augustine's crumpled body. Delsin unleashes every trick he can think of to try and stop you. Gernades, trip wires, land mines, gasses, turrets. Delsin hits you with everything he has and he almost wins. All this backed by a parting gift "from a friend in New Marias". The RFI. But he hesitates at the last minute and Reggie is able to subdue him. Reggie finds that he's inable to kill Delsin and tearfully arrests him.
He reports Augustine's death once the dust settles. He can't even look his brother, his tribe, in the eyes as they're all dragged away.
In lack of any other leader, Reggie is elected to be the new head of the DUP.
The game closes with Reggie, eyes bloodshot and baggey, physically and emotionally drained, wearing his new uniform and standing over Curdon Cay.
"I don't know what Augustine had to do in this seat. But this the kind of position that forces you to do things. To make sacrifices in support of the greater whole. Sometimes, you have to make choices, no matter the cost.
....I love you brother and I sure am gonna miss you."
