The following are transcripts of the pocket secretaries found in the Čistá Čtvrť, one of the districts in the northern part of Prague that is visited in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. Many of the pocket secretaries contain plot-related details or information on various characters in the game.

Palisade Property Bank[]

See Palisade Property Bank pocket secretaries for transcripts of pocket secretaries found in the Bank, its immediate vicinity, its parking garage, and the sewers underneath.


Task Force 29 Headquarters[]

File request[]

Found in Praha Dovoz, the street-level front of the TF29 Headquarters.

To: thewatcher
From: madamephotographe

Hey,

The Visitor is coming back to Prague. He needs updated files on the Subject. Whatever you can get. And recent. He was insistent. Sorry for the short notice, you know how he is. He'll pick-up the files out of the storage unit. FYI, I've just recoded it, it's 5053.

Leave me a message there if you have any trouble.

Good luck.


[MESSAGE RECALL] IT Password Reset[]

Found in the men's restroom on the first floor.

To: Ava Cook
From: Jean-Guy Cloutier

Sorry, Ava. I was writing two messages at the same time and sent the wrong one. Luckily it was to you and not everyone.

ORIGINAL MESSAGE CONTENT:
---------------------------------------------
OK, I'm ready my end. Phase 4 reset started rolling last night. If you need to check if any errors were reported and I'm not at my station you can get on the main console using Clod04sfd8s.


storage shed[]

Found in the briefing room on the first floor.

To: Pedro Meiffren
From: Gabriel Nelson

Hi, Pedro.

The snitch of mine, who hangs out near Tech Noir, reports that there's a storage shed in that courtyard which might be where some of your Dvalis leave payoffs for their friends in the State Police. He even gave me the code: 2469.

Medical Supplies[]

Found in the locked room in the infirmary, behind a small box containing medicine, only during the first visit to Prague.

To: Dr. Delara Auzenne
From: Dr. Jennifer Phillips

Dr. Auzenne,

The new medical supplies finally arrived including the agents' Neuropozyne allocations. I've had you officially authorized to access the infirmary using code 4822.

Which reminds me, you should be aware:

- Aria Argento's Neuropozyne prescription is higher than the standard recommendation for her weight/gender class.

- Despite several reminders from yours truly, Adam Jensen hasn't been taking his recommended allocation. I can only assume he's using an external supplier because he's not exhibiting any signs of deprivation. Whoever he's getting it from I hope it's the genuine thing. It's for the safety of our augmented agents that they trust us with this so maybe you can speak with him about it.

Thanks
Jenn


good news[]

Found nearby Aria Argento, only during the second visit to Prague.

To: Vincent Black
From: Allison Walchuck

Vince,

I had a breakthrough on the politician: He is definitely receiving dirty money from somewhere!

His campaign manager has a VIP vault at Palisade, Room B, Row 06. The code is 1996. Have fun.

Prelim for COTMG meeting:

- compound in poor area of Prague.
- leader = "Mother," refers to herself as High Priestess
- terrorist connection? (ARC unconfirmed)
- planned operation = Ascension
- timeline = imminent


sewers[]

Found in the central area of the first floor, only during the third visit to Prague.

To: Strickland Hall
From: Simon Daniels

If you're looking for ARC members to shake down, you might want to look in the sewers. A lot of Augs go there when they get evicted. Your best access is from the poor district. There's a locked door, code 6122.


RE: suspicions[]

Found nearby Brian Rourke on the second floor.

To: Angela Rizzo
From: Vincent Black

Angie,

I'd trust your hunches better than most people's evidence. There's no way, if the Dvali Number Two owns it, that the storage locker is 100% clean.

I'm in the middle of something I can't break away from right now. Check it out yourself, quietly. Tell me what you find.

Vince,

You know the courtyard just down the street from us? I go there sometimes, to grab a snack after work, and there's one storage locker there that always felt a little suspicious. Well, today I learned it belongs to Otar Botkoveli!

We can't go in there officially without a warrant, and my hunch obviously isn't enough to get us one. But I did crack the code to the door: 3874. One of us could go in, unofficially, just to see what's inside...

What do you think, Boss?

NSN Access[]

Found on a cart near the NSN room.

To: Jean-Guy Cloutier
From: Debbie Connoly

JG,

Did you or Chang move the NSN Server Room keycard? I thought we agreed to keep it on the lower level.

I don't have time for this. State Police is stonewalling me again, and I have to call the Minister.

RE: Sobchak Security[]

Found in the organized crime and cyber crime area on the second floor, only during the second visit to Prague.

To: Gabriel Nelson
From: Angela Rizzo

Gabe,

I don't think you'll have any luck tbh. We've looked into him before but didn't find any anomalous activity He seemed like your average ex-vet with PTSD paranoia, etc. That said, it can't hurt to check again if you're feeling something might be up. We picked up a code for the guy's storage which should still be live (1122).

Neon Rave?[]

Found in 33 Hlavní apartment #202 (John Dubnyk's apartment), on the bathtub.

To: Nový Neon
From: Katarina Wenzel

I hope last night isn't getting you down. Seriously, the kid was augmented and we tried to warn her. It's her own fault for not listening. So let's move on and focus on tonight.

Someone said something about a Neon rave behind Ludvik courtyard. Apparently you need a keycard to get in? How do I get one? Why are these parties such a secret? Why are you holding out on me!?

Katarina

P.S. You should get your apartment cleaned. It's gross.

1977[]

Found on the shelf near the entrance to Little k's apartment (33 Hlavní apartment # 302).

To: littlek@tmail.mail
From: Barbara Lamser

You are determined to follow in father's footsteps. To become him. Is the year of his imprisonment still tattooed on your arm? Do you still you it as a password for everything? Yes, it's true - father was an exponent of truth. Publishing charter 77 took great courage. But don't you see what it did to us? You can romanticize history all you want, but for me 1977 was hell. It was the year I lost my father and the year I started losing you.

Please, sweet sister, you are too old to be playing dissident and hiding in the sewers.

It is time to come home.

You are all cordially invited to the Tubehouse for a screening of Solar Masked Cyborg O, a tale of a man re-engineered to cause havoc on the world, only to turn against his own creators for the good of mankind.

Bionic arms, legs, the whole thing, but all used in the name of justice.
There's even a part where he kicks some anthropomorphic monster...thing, and it EXPLODES! How cool is that?! Between us, I act it out in the store when the rest of the staff leaves for the night.

l have an old optical disc reader that's a decade or two old, but still functional. It should be able to read these discs I had to smuggle in from overseas.

No need for help. Shit's still coming through from the PČR, it's just getting harder to keep the same volume. Trust me I'm doing what I can. What's good about this Kosinski guy in Warsaw is he says they're seeing a lotsicsic of older military hardware too which can still be interesting as well as the usual. Arrangmentsicsic stays the same. If I get to the locker before the weekend I'll leave you some stuff to look through.

1. Good job re: Warsaw. I'll let Radich know. We'll still be moving weapons from the Prague cops too though, right? That arrangement is powering more than a few handshakes so we need to know if there's going to be a problem. Do we need another middleman to help out or you're good?

2. Yefim set up a second VIP in the Palisade using 0411 so any credit drops or bonus prizes need to go in that one from now on.


Subject: RE: File request[]

In the right-side storage unit. The "P-sec" mentioned in the message is the pocket secretary found in Praha Dovoz.

To: madamephotographe
From: thewatcher

I got what files I could on the Subject without raising any alarms; they're not as recent as the visitor wanted, but it will have to do for now. Bad day. Dropped my P-Sec (it's clean, don't worry), but I thought I had eyes on me, so I left the files in the safe in the apartment instead. Let the visitor know that the code to the safe is 3608.

To: THE FAMILY

Seems it wasn't our clients I had to worry about.

The bond that links your family is not one of blood, but of respect. Most of you are loyal to this, the rest of you are now dead.

I hope I'm never disappointed like this again.

To: Shawn York
From: Ned Florin

Shawn,

Congratulations on the move. Letting you know that you will be reporting to Liam Slater when you arrive, he's the security chief there. You'll be coming straight from the airport, so you might want to stow your luggage first and get cleaned up. The  staff lockers are near catering. 1948'll get you in. Good luck and don't go too crazy if you celebrate.

Do Not Take Neon![]

Found on the body of a dead Neon raver in the Rave club. This pocket secretary is part of the Neon Nights side mission.

To: Darko Synek
From: Mina Majerova

Darko, I've been looking everywhere for someone that will sell us Neuropozyne. My search led me to a complex by Pilgrim station. There's an apartment with a swan on the door. Inside is a secret room that proves that this little "cleaning service" is actually a front for moving drugs.

I didn't find any Neuropozyne, but I did learn something valuable: the reason no one wants to sell Neon to the augmented is because it is fatal to anyone with Neuropozyne in their system! Please, make sure you stay away from it!

Tell as many of our friends as you can!

To: STAFF
From: Ludvik Coen

We had a little problem yesterday. The pipes in the basement burst. Flooded. l was going to have someone come in and check the vent, but now of course the plumbing has to be done first.

Whoever is on shift should let the repairman into the storage room when he arrives.

It's 3419, for those of you whose memories are like John's.

A Better Place[]

Found in the basement of Liborio's shop, Negozio di Magia.

To: Liborio Barbadoro
From: Richard the Great

My sweet Liborio,
For the authorities to have canceled our show is humiliating. But to see our friends imprisoned because they are different... To watch as our inventions - our life's work! - get confiscated and destroyed... I know you are not easily outraged. You will find a way to adapt to this new world. You will compromise. Does this makes you a better man than me or does it make you worse? Regardless, you know The Community Initiative was never about magic and entertainment for me; it was about alternatives - about creating places people could escape to. The hours we spent crafting worlds together were the happiest of my life. I intend to extend them into eternity.

Forever yours,
Richard

Palisade Station[]

More power fluctuations[]

Found in a locked room in the station.

To: Sandy Bergstrom
From: Javil Kedy

Easiest way to the problem will be through the auxiliary storage I think. Code'll be 2411 the same since last month, I keep forgetting to update it. If they'd modernise the power backups this wouldn't keep happening. But then hey, with all those shiny, hard-assed psycho cops in Prague these days, guess we know the government's priorities.


Monument Station[]

VIKTOR MARCHENKO[]

Found at Monument Station during the mission Facing the Enigma. This is the subject of the "Dead Drop" point of interest that activates during the mission.

To: anon74@hackernet
From: anon67@hackernet

Here's what we know:

Born: 1991 near Zaporizhia, Ukraine
Parents were illiterate railway workers.
Left school after 10 years (2 years shy of the compulsory 12) to become a shift worker on a drilling gang looking for shale-gas deposits in eastern Ukraine.
Ran into trouble in 2011 when a group of Pro-Russian separatists started a fight with his crew in Mariupol after work; he tried to break it up, got injured, and ended up in hospital. Could have been when he got augmented-not sure. (Records get pretty scarce here. In fact, there's a good 12 year period we can't account for, and no record of when or where he DID get augmented.)
Shows up again briefly in 2023, this time with a wife and newborn kid: Alisa Maratovna and Raisa Viktorichna. Only now he's in Belgorod.
Which I don't get, frankly.
A pro-Ukrainian national moving to Russia only makes sense if he stayed with energy companies all those years. Everyone wanted a piece of their reserves after 2015. But that would have put him somewhere in Siberia, not Belgorod. Belgorod is on the border with Ukraine. It's got nothing to do with oil. It does, however, have a long history of military occupation-and in 2016, it was the city from which the newly-minted Russian Federated States deployed Belltower Associates to quell Ukraine's anti-separatist dissension once and for all.
So, why's he having a kid there in 2023? Still working on finding that one out. AND on finding out what happened to the wife and kid afterward. Because neither of them were with him when he emigrated to the Utulek Complex last year.


Governmental Registration Office[]

Security Systems[]

Found on a Tarvos agent guarding the door.

To: Agent Kraft
From: Registrar General

The permit validation stations are to be accessed by official government representatives only. It is for them to validate people's permits, not for citizens to do it themselves. If ever you need to disable the security systems for maintenance or investigation purposes, the code is samithedog.

Stay vigilant.

Yes yes yes I've gathered from stuff I found around the district. I don't know how long I have until the Nazis find me and either shoot me or send me to Golem city. I'll take one last chance tonight, I watched the Tech Noir owner get into his storage locker the other night: code is 9356. Might be some useful tech for us. then we'll be on our way. You'll meet me at my "place" later, right? I'll show you what I did with the place, had some fun. I bet people will wonder what the fuck went on here and who could possibly have carried all this shit up here. Ha! I bet it's an Aug. OH MY GOOOOOD!! Screw them. It'll be tough to get out of the city unseen though, it's not like we're “naturals”, right, can't just walk outta here...so they keep telling us. So we might as well use these Augs for something.

These pocket secretaries are easier to find than you'd think! To whoever may stumblessicsic upon my former little (not-so-hidden) Aug hideout, I hope you'll be safe, especially since you ARE augmented aren't you? Who else would have been able to access this area? If I'm lucky I should be out of the city by now with my sister. I hope in times we don't have to see these god awful segregationist Aug /non-Aug separators anymore. At least I have 'borrowed' these from the Palisady station. Amazing what the piggies leave lying around. You should see the police security gates close to here, right? Get this, Augbuster002 and Augbuster003 are the codes the bastards use! HA! Could come in handy, right? Really sorry, but I hope you understand the message. Try not to hate everybody. We're just animals, after all. Piggies and rats. Piggies and rats.

Advertisers pay this city A LOT of money for access to our digital landscape. When kids manage to hack into that landscape and transmit cat videos IT IS NOT FUNNY.
