'''Data disk'''
 +
 
 +
You have kept this disk given to you by Arachnos Technician Price.  It's not worth much now, except perhaps as a reminder of the adventure you like to call:
 +
 
 +
'''Apt Pupil'''
 +
 
 +
It all started when Number 204 asked for your help.  It was aware that if it was not the best of its companion robots it would be destroyed, and it sought to get a leg up on the competition.  It could reward you handsomely, so you agreed to steal the Arachnos Robotic Combat Training Plan from an Arachnos base.
 +
 
 +
Number 204 informed you that its next task would be against [[Nemesis]].  It sent you to Spider City to collect combat video for it to analyze.
 +
 
 +
Number 204's next target was [[Longbow]].  You journeyed into a Longbow lair and returned with their tactical plans.
 +
 
 +
You were then sent to collect combat video of your battle against several other Arachnos Tarantulas.  You did so, but encountered a strange fellow, Arachnos Technician Price.  He said that he had been summoned to the Gutter, but attacked by the Tarantulas.  Something strange was definitely going on.
 +
 
 +
Number 204 next informed you that [[Arachnos]] had changed its training program.  It would need new data.  In order to ensure it got the data, it equipped you with a disk containing code for detecting and deciphering the new schedule.  You went to an Arachnos base and uploaded the code, but were unable to find any new schedule.
 +
 
 +
Number 204 had one more task for you.  It sent you to eliminate a number of other Tarantulas who it considered rivals.  It assured you that the Tarantulas would be no match for you.
 +
 
 +
But it was lying.  When you got to the Tarantula's base you met Technician Price again.  He informed you that Number 204 was trying to kill him -- and you as well!  The Longbow files had reprogrammed it.  It had used you to upload code that turned the other Tarantulas against Arachnos, and then it had sent you to be killed.  Price gave you a disk to reformat Number 204 into a compliant Arachnos robot once again.  You have to wonder how much of Number 204's personality survived all this reprogramming.  But then again, that's not your problem.

It is in my endeavor of self-preservation that I hope you can be of assistance.  Your designation is well known throughout the [[Rogue Isles]]; it is {{Character}}.  Your fame and expertise can be most useful to one such as I, who has ability, but no name to speak of.
  
 +
'''Mission Acceptance'''
 +
 +
The world of Arachnos robot soldiers is a brutal one.  Those who cannot perform are scrapped for parts.  Those who can know they will only remain operational as long as they make no mistakes.  I am hoping to gain an edge on my compatriots through research, intellect, and ingenuity.  First, I need the Arachnos Robotic Combat Training plan.  I have already calculated its location, all I need is someone who can steal it.

Souvenir

Data disk

You have kept this disk given to you by Arachnos Technician Price. It's not worth much now, except perhaps as a reminder of the adventure you like to call:

Apt Pupil

It all started when Number 204 asked for your help. It was aware that if it was not the best of its companion robots it would be destroyed, and it sought to get a leg up on the competition. It could reward you handsomely, so you agreed to steal the Arachnos Robotic Combat Training Plan from an Arachnos base.

Number 204 informed you that its next task would be against Nemesis. It sent you to Spider City to collect combat video for it to analyze.

Number 204's next target was Longbow. You journeyed into a Longbow lair and returned with their tactical plans.

You were then sent to collect combat video of your battle against several other Arachnos Tarantulas. You did so, but encountered a strange fellow, Arachnos Technician Price. He said that he had been summoned to the Gutter, but attacked by the Tarantulas. Something strange was definitely going on.

Number 204 next informed you that Arachnos had changed its training program. It would need new data. In order to ensure it got the data, it equipped you with a disk containing code for detecting and deciphering the new schedule. You went to an Arachnos base and uploaded the code, but were unable to find any new schedule.

Number 204 had one more task for you. It sent you to eliminate a number of other Tarantulas who it considered rivals. It assured you that the Tarantulas would be no match for you.

But it was lying. When you got to the Tarantula's base you met Technician Price again. He informed you that Number 204 was trying to kill him -- and you as well! The Longbow files had reprogrammed it. It had used you to upload code that turned the other Tarantulas against Arachnos, and then it had sent you to be killed. Price gave you a disk to reformat Number 204 into a compliant Arachnos robot once again. You have to wonder how much of Number 204's personality survived all this reprogramming. But then again, that's not your problem.


Help Number 204

Briefing

It is in my endeavor of self-preservation that I hope you can be of assistance. Your designation is well known throughout the Rogue Isles; it is Character. Your fame and expertise can be most useful to one such as I, who has ability, but no name to speak of.

Mission Acceptance

The world of Arachnos robot soldiers is a brutal one. Those who cannot perform are scrapped for parts. Those who can know they will only remain operational as long as they make no mistakes. I am hoping to gain an edge on my compatriots through research, intellect, and ingenuity. First, I need the Arachnos Robotic Combat Training plan. I have already calculated its location, all I need is someone who can steal it.

Unnecessary Solicitation

It is essential that you recover that plan if I am to continue to prosper.

Mission Objective(s)

Working for a robot may seem strange to some, but Number 204's money is as green as anyone else's.

  • Steal combat training plan

You have downloaded the plan. You have the Arachnos Robotic Combat Training plan.

 The technician's story
The Arachnos technician you rescued said:

'I got an urgent message from my supervisor to report to the Gutter. But all I saw once I got here were these Tarantulas, and they weren't too happy to see me! Something really strange is going on!'


Debriefing

Excellent. All three scientists are now busily doing the work of Arachnos, with differing degrees of cooperation. But do not imagine that you have worked off your debt to me yet, Character. I have more work in store for you.

Note: Some enemies may be hiding in the ruined buildings


Find out about Number 204's next task

Briefing

Arachnos has altered my training schedule, Character. Before we can proceed further, I must have the new information. You must go to the base I will designate and find out what my next task will be.

Mission Acceptance

I am determined to survive, Character. I imagine we have that in common.

Debriefing

I regret that my program was unable to find the new training schedule. We shall have to try another means of learning my next task.


Eliminate the Tarantulas

Briefing

You have done well, Character. You have forwarded my goals most admirably. For this, I must thank you. One last request. There are a number of Arachnos robots that I fear I must best in order to remain one of the few survivors of my kind. Please eliminate them.

Mission Acceptance

Fear not. The Tarantulas you will face will surely be no match for your skills. No. You need worry not at all.

Unnecessary Solicitation

What are you still doing here?

Mission Objective(s)

There are sounds of fighting within.

  • Defeat all Tarantulas

 The technician's story
The Arachnos technician you rescued said:

'Number 204 didn't send you here to kill anything! It sent you here to get killed! Just like me! Number 204 has been reprogrammed by Longbow; it's working for them now. Ever since you stole that Longbow intel, Number 204 has been working against you. It sent you to an Arachnos base to upload data that reprogrammed all these Tarantulas! And now it wants them to kill you!'

 The technician's disk
This disk should reformat Number 204, rendering it once again a compliant Arachnos drone.


Debriefing

The disk Price gave you has reformatted my hard drive, Character. I am now a compliant Arachnos weapon. It is regrettable how we machines can be toyed with, how our entire lives can be changed by somebody who knows the right words to speak. Longbow thought they would get the best of you when they gave you that stealth program in place of the real data. They thought I could lead you to your doom. But I guess you were too smart for me. And too smart for Longbow.
