=== Contact Introduced By ===
* [[Operative Kuzmin]]

=== Contact Introduces ===
* [[Lt. Harris]]

Lt. Harris is a member of Longbow. Or, I should say, a very recent ''former'' member of Longbow. He seems to have a very strong desire for vengeance against the group.

I think you would get along quite well with him.

The man seems to be very focused on following this feeling of hatred. I would be careful that his feelings do not suddenly sway into a different direction.

When you're ready to assault Fort Darwin, I shall send some of the prototype Infected your way.

=== Information ===
'''Contract Arachnos Scientist'''

Doctor Weber is known in the scientific community for ignoring ethics and morals to get what he needs. He has firsthand performed several atrocities in the name of scientific progress.

He has been shunned by most law abiding science groups, but has found temporary employment in Arachnos.

=== Prior to Introduction ===
You and I have not met yet, {{Character}}. We have nothing to discuss until we can trust each other.

=== Initial Contact ===
Hello, {{Character}}. My name is '''Doctor Weber'''. Operative Kuzmin has briefed me about your work against Longbow. 

I believe you and I will get along just fine. I am currently investigating the Infected in Mercy Island. I've reached a point, however, where I could use the help of someone such as yourself.

I can tell you everything, once you're ready. Shall we?

*{{green|Yes, let's begin.}}

=== Greeting ===
*Let us give the people of Mercy a higher purpose, {{Character}}.

=== Too Busy ===
{{Missing Too Busy}}

=== No More Missions ===
We're done together, for now, {{Character}}. I will be continuing work on my experiments with the Infected. Soon, I'm sure, we shall see the fruits of it.

{{Souvenir|Infected Syringe}}
==== {{UL|Part One: A New Life}} ====
'''Briefing'''

I will briefly bring you up to speed. The Infected were created from the waste of experiments performed by '''Doctor Geist''' on '''Arachnoids'''.

This waste made its way into the sewage system of Mercy. In order to increase the pool of our experiments, I've put the same waste into the water supplies of several buildings and homes here in Mercy, and also in one of the bathrooms of a '''Rogue Isles Police''' station.

The results have been promising. The dregs, the poor, the useless of Mercy, have transformed into the Infected! I have given their lives a better purpose, and now, you and I shall take it for ourselves. 

*{{green|I still don't see where I fit into this, Weber.}}

'''{{darkorange|Doctor Weber hands you a syringe filled with chemicals.}}''' You will see momentarily. Yet another doctor, '''Doctor Creed''', once created a chemical to kill the Infected.

Thanks to the larger pool of participants, I have created a chemical that can ''turn'' people into Infected.

I've put in chemicals that are waiting for a catalyst inside of a keg the RIP were using. You will find the '''Sick RIP''' nearby. '''Use the syringe on them to see if the experiment worked. If so, then we can make ourselves our own Infected army!'''

''You received [[Infected Syringe (Temporary Power)|Infected Syringe]].''

{{PowerBox|Icon=Temporary InfectedSyringe.png|Name=Infected Syringe|Effect=|Desc=This syringe was made by Dr. Weber. Injecting it into the RIP should cause them to go through a horrific transformation!}}

'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''

How is the experiment going, {{Character}}?

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Infect Sick Rogue Isles Police|Secondary=0 out of 10 RIP have been infected|Additional=|Completion=}}

'''Enemies'''

{{Enemy RIP}}

'''Debriefing'''

Hrm. So the experiment was a success, but there is an unknown component that is tainting our data. An interesting turn of events, {{Character}}, but not unexpected.

The Infected are too promising to leave be. The chemicals from the Arachnoids, if perfected, could instantly give ''anyone'' super powers. Even if left unperfected, having control over the Infected could give one an army of followers on ''demand''.

I believe Arachnos will have great use for this, and they would pay me handsomly for this. However... I think you and I would make ''much'' better use of these dregs than Arachnos, don't you agree?

==== {{UL|Part Two: The Infected Solution}} ====
'''Briefing'''

We cannot have someone else controlling these Infected. I suspect it is either a rival scientist or Longbow. If the latter, then we ''must'' stop them.

They will seek to try to cure the Infected, to make them ''normal'' again. How horrible would that be? To have your life altered, your purpose ''bettered'', only for you to return to your banal existence as some... ''dreg'' living in a slum.

We can find who is doing this, {{Character}}. It is our ''duty'' towards our own destinies and the destinies of these people to do so.

*{{green|Do you have any idea of where to look?}}

I just might. There are reports of other Infected murmuring about some 'calling' in Mercy City.

I believe the use of brute force is necessary with this. If you can find and defeat enough of them, I will use my devices to try to locate where this supposed 'calling' for them is coming from.

I will send you a message when I've found the location.

===== {{UL|Defeat Mesmerized Infected}} =====
'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''

I have not picked up on their signal yet, {{Character}}.

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Defeat Mesmerized Infected|Secondary=3 Mesmerized Infected to defeat|Additional=|Completion=You receive a message from Dr. Weber regarding the location of the signal!}}

'''Enemies'''

{{Enemy Infected}}

{{Mission Clue|Name=Signal Located|Text=You receive a message from Dr. Weber...

'I've found where a number of the Infected are gathering. I've sent you the coordinates. I would advise doing what you can through non-violent means to see what exactly is going on.'}}

===== {{UL|Go to the location Weber discovered}} =====
'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''

Remember, {{Character}}, try to keep the violent methods to a minimum in this next part.

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Go to the location Weber discovered|Secondary=Go to the location of the signal|Additional=|Completion=You found what seems to be a... community of Infected?}}

===== {{UL|Speak with... the leader of the Infected?}} =====
'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''

Fascinating, they've formed their own community? Is this where the calling is happening?

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Speak with... the leader of the Infected?|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=}}

{{Mission Briefing|Type=Briefing|Contact=Infected Leader|Text=
'''{{darkorange|The supposed leader of the Infected looks straight into your eyes.}}'''

The Calling. All who have been Infected, gather towards me.

I shall bring you to the Promised Land, where we will find the cure to our condition. Abandon the urge to drink more from the water, focus on my will!

*{{green|(Examine the leader closer)}}

'''{{darkorange|Upon closer examination, you're able to tell that someone else is controlling this Infected. It seems to be some sort of telepathy!'''

'''Whoever is doing this is trying to bring the Infected somewhere to ''cure'' them of their condition. There can only be one group who would try such a thing - Longbow!}}'''

{{green|Longbow. Always getting in the way.}}
}}

'''Debriefing'''

Longbow? Hrmph, they're too short-sighted to see the true miracles that we are working with the Infected. You and I cannot allow this to succeed, {{Character}}.

Longbow must be employing a telepath to control the Infected. We must find them and ''crush'' them, along with the cure they've created!

==== {{UL|Finale: Proper Destiny}} ====
'''Briefing'''

The area of Darwin's Landing is crawling with Longbow, {{Character}}. I don't believe that this telepath is hiding in their main base of '''Fort Darwin'''.

No, they must be close, ''very'' close by, in order to have such an effect on the Infected in Mercy City itself. 

*{{green|I know the deal. Beat up Longbow, find the obvious evidence for their base.}}

Good to see that we're on the same page. If Longbow is this close to curing the Infected, they'll be sure to have plenty of their grunts out in force to stop any villains from finding their base.

Unfortunately, they are severely underestimating your abilities, once again. Defeating enough of them will earn us the information we need. And then, with Longbow's outpost here destroyed, the experimentation on the Infected and the people of Mercy Island can continue!

===== {{UL|Find Longbow's Hidden Outpost}} =====
'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''

It's extremely annoying that these Longbow have so many outposts hidden in Mercy already. I almost hope that it is all a clever plan by Arachnos, and not because they are just too stupid to stop Longbow.

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Find Longbow's Hidden Outpost|Secondary=Defeat 15 Longbow|Additional=|Completion=You found the location of Longbow's secret base!}}

{{Mission Clue|Name=Radio Transmission|Text=You overheard a radio transmission while fighting numerous Longbow soldiers in Darwin's Landing...

'This is Psi-Lass, come in! The experiment is ready, ''everybody'' back to the cave. We need everyone stationed at the following coordinates. We'll have to fight off Arachnos and any villains that notice all those Infected coming towards us!'}}

===== {{UL|Stop Longbow from Curing the Infected}} =====
'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''

We can't allow this to happen, {{Character}}! Longbow is going to ruin ''everything''!

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=There are some odd symbols on these cavern walls, looking to be in the shape of snakes.<br />Longbow must have cleared out whoever was previously in these caverns in order to set up shop.|Primary=Stop Longbow from Curing the Infected|Secondary=Get the codes from the Longbow Technician to disable the security system|Additional=** Hack the Security Terminal

'''Upon Defeat:'''
:'''Psi-Lass:''' This isn't over...!}}

'''Debriefing'''

Good riddance. My experiments on the Infected can properly continue now. However, we are not out of the woods yet.

This Psi-Lass used an emergency teleporter. It must mean that Longbow has rigged the hospital in Fort Darwin for their own use. {{Character}}, this means that '''Longbow can constantly heal their troops with this technology!''' There is only one option if we are to stop them; there must be an ''attack'' on Fort Darwin itself!

I can aid you in this in two ways. I shall continue to work on my experiments in order to deliver to you the most promising specimens to help you take the Fort. And then, there is one more thing I can do, which is introduce you to someone who just might be able to help us in this task.

Let me know when you wish to be introduced to one Lt. Harris.
