Introductions

Contact Introduced By

• Cadao Kestrel
• Colleen Nelson
• Gordon Stacy

New Contact(s)

• Cadao Kestrel

Don't listen to the rumors about Cadao Kestrel. He would never use his mastery of voodoo for any dark purpose, and he has excellent information on the Circle of Thorns. He loves to work with magic heroes and can provide Relic and Focus Enhancements.

Kestrel is a man of peace, Character. He will help you fight the Circle of Thorns menace.

• Ginger Yates

Ginger Yates is an ecologist who lost her family to the Devouring Earth. She's pretty grim, but her information is the best. She likes working with science heroes, and she has access to Invention and Generic Alteration Enhancements.

She has faced great adversity and is still fighting. Don't be put off by her brusque manner.

Information

Scientist

When Dr Steven 'Science' Sheridan was young, his parents thought him a brilliant child prodigy. As it turned out, they had greatly underestimated their son. Some people think he's a mutant; others suspect he's the product of genetic engineering. Either way, he's without a doubt the most knowledgeable human being who ever lived. 'Doc Science' never forgets a single fact; once he learns something, it is locked in his memory forever. His great intellect allows him to easily recall these facts and draw inferences from them; as one might imagine, this makes him one heck of a scientist.

Investigate the Crey Lab

Briefing

Hey, I've been hearing rumors that Crey is covering up the fact that one of their labs was taken over by Rikti a couple days ago. It's one of their facilities in Crey's Folly. This might be a good opportunity to learn something more about Crey, or better yet, about what the Rikti's next move is. Will you investigate that Crey lab?

Mission Acceptance

Crey denies any of this, of course, but I have a hunch there is some truth to this rumor.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Crey is still adamantly denying the rumor that their lab has been overrun by Rikti for days now.

Mission Objective(s)

The secure locks to the doors are busted, revealing that there may be some truth to the rumor that this lab has been overrun by Rikti.

• Defeat all Rikti in lab
  • Investigate Rikti plan

You have cleared out the Rikti and learned why they took over the lab.

Enemies

Rikti
Crey

Debriefing

Crey finally admitted that their lab was taken over, but they claim the Paragon Protectors cleaned it out. Typical. Lets look at what you found. So, the Rikti were collecting data on human organs! I have the feeling this is part of some larger plot.

Recover stolen blood

Briefing

I got a report here that the Brickstown Infirmary had their entire supply of blood stolen right out of their storage facility. The only sign of forced entry was through a liquid waste disposal chute, so I think it's safe to assume the perps came in through the sewers. They can't treat any patients until someone recovers that stolen blood. Can you help them out?

I think they should probably still be in the sewers, try this entrance to track them down.

Mission Acceptance

Text missing

Mission Objective(s)

• Recover stolen blood
  • 7 blood lots remaining

You have recovered all of the stolen blood.

Enemies

Rikti

Debriefing

Great job recovering that stolen blood. I wonder what the Rikti are up to?

With the Rikti after fresh blood and human organs, I can only surmise that they are looking at a way to improve their mutagen.

Protect Nicholson Chemicals

Briefing

These recent Rikti thefts have me worried. There's only one reason I can think of for the Rikti to go around stealing human blood and organs. They must be trying to improve their mutagen so that it transforms people more quickly! From what is known about the current Rikti mutagen, they will need a large supply of the chemical Barizium. The only place I could find that had a lot of Barizium in stock was Nicholson Chemicals over in Independence Port. You should get over there to protect their warehouse so the Rikti can't make off with the Barizium.

Keep those chemicals out of the Rikti's hands.

Mission Acceptance

Text missing

Mission Objective(s)

The upper levels were empty, abandoned. You soon found a staircase leading down to a sub-basement and quickly realized this was no ordinary warehouse, but a front for a Council base!

• Defeat all villains in warehouse

The Council base has been cleaned out.

Enemies

Council

Debriefing

It wasn't a chemical company, but a Council front? Well, we lucked out on that one. Still, I'm sure the Rikti are up to something. Why else would they go around stealing human organs and blood? We've got to get back on their trail.

Rescue Dr. Snider

Briefing

It looks like that warehouse I sent you to was a dead end. Even worse, the Rikti struck while you were over there! They kidnapped the renowned transplant specialist Dr. Samuel Snider, right out of his operating room! We have a hot trail to follow. I need you to rescue Dr. Snider.

Dr. Snider was wearing his pager, so we should be able to track that to where he is being held. Hurry, before it's too late!

Mission Acceptance

Text missing

Mission Objective(s)

The triangulator has too much interference to precisely locate the pager in here, but it is close.

• Find Dr. Snider

Dr. Snider is not here, and the trail is cold.

Debriefing

Dr. Snider must have dropped his page in the sewers while the Rikti were carrying him off! I don't know if we'll ever find him now. This is getting bad. The Rikti have human organs, human blood, and now a human surgeon!

Go see Marvin Weintraub

Briefing

So, all you could find of Dr. Snider was his pager. That's not good news. I'm certain the Rikti plan to force him to do some kind of procedure with those human organs they stole. There has to be a way to track him down. Perhaps my friend Marvin Weintraub can help us out. Why don't you pay Marvin a visit?

If anyone has tech that can help us, it's him.

Mission Acceptance

Text missing

Go see Marvin Weintraub

Unnecessary Solicitation

Marvin should have some useful tech to help us find Dr. Snider.

Mission Objective(s)

• Go see Marvin Weintraub

Probe Rikti minds

Unnecessary Solicitation

Marvin's gadget won't read Rikti minds until you've defeated them. I say you hit the streets and start kickin' butt.

Mission Objective(s)

• Probe Rikti minds
  • Defeat 35 Rikti

The probe beeps. It knows the location of Dr. Snider.

Enemies

Rikti

Rescue Dr. Snider

Unnecessary Solicitation

The probe says Dr. Snider is in a warehouse in Brickstown. Get over there and rescue him!

Mission Objective(s)

This warehouse looks like it was recently taken over by the Rikti.

• Rescue Dr. Snider

Enemies

Rikti

Debriefing

Dr. Snider thanks you for saving his life. I must say, his story is pretty strange. Performing organ transplants on Rikti soldiers? I wonder what that's all about.

Go see Rebecca Brinell

Briefing

I've done a little digging. There's a rumor that all Rikti bodies are taken to a secret SERAPH lab for analysis. Makes sense, I guess. I have a good friend over at SERAPH, Rebecca Brinell. Go see her, maybe she can tell you more about the Rikti's recent organ thefts.

She's over in Galaxy City, in the Freedom Corps headquarters.

Mission Acceptance

Talk to Rebecca Brinell

Unnecessary Solicitation

Mission Objective(s)

• Talk to Rebecca Brinell

Defeat all Rikti in lab

Unnecessary Solicitation

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat all Rikti in lab
  • 3 scientists remaining

You have cleared the lab of Rikti and rescued the hostages.

Enemies

Rikti

Notable NPCs

• 3 SERAPH Scientists (Hostages)

Debriefing

Sorry you didn't get any solid info on Rikti biology. We'll just have to keep digging if we want to know what they want with those human organs. At least you saved the day over at that secret SERAPH lab! It never hurts to impress the big boys.

Go see Rebecca Brinell

Briefing

I just got a call from Rebecca Brinell over at SERAPH. She says she wants you to visit her right away. She couldn't discuss her news on the phone, but I'm hoping it's a lead on this Rikti plot we've been investigating. We need to know what those aliens are doing with those stolen human organs!

I don't know what it's about, but Rebecca said you would really like it.

Mission Acceptance

Text missing

Mission Objective(s)

• Talk to Rebecca Brinell

Debriefing

So you can't talk about what she told you, eh? From the way you're acting I can imagine it was really juicy. Don't go breaking your code clearance on my account. Now, back to this problem with the Rikti organ thefts. I wonder what's going on there?

Hit the streets with Weintraub's Psychic Probe

Briefing

I think you need to hit the streets again with Weintraub's Psychic Probe. I've set it to probe for information on organs. Just defeat as many Rikti as you can find; sooner or later one of them has to have some information on those stolen human organs.

Not all the Rikti will be informed on what their plans are with the organs, so you might have to defeat quite a few.

Mission Acceptance

Text missing

Probe Rikti minds

Unnecessary Solicitation

Text missing

Mission Objective(s)

• Probe Rikti minds
  • Defeat 45 Rikti

The probe beeps. It knows the location of a hidden Rikti base.

Enemies

Rikti

Investigate Rikti base

Unnecessary Solicitation

Text missing

Mission Objective(s)

• Investigate Rikti base
  • 3 clues to find

You have shut down the Rikti organ transplanting operation.

Enemies

Rikti

Debriefing

So, the Rikti burn out their own organs, possibly by overworking themselves during combat. It's still hard to believe that they were trying to replace their organs with mutated human ones! I can't see how that could work, them being aliens and all. You did a great job stopping them before their plan could come to fruition.

Missions

Template:Mission Intro Help the Founders' Falls Security Chief

Go to Crey's Folly and clear the Rikti out

Briefing

For the last few days the Rikti have been all over the factories in Crey's Folly. They're making off with the companies' technology, even carrying off an occasional technician who gets in their way. I need you to head over to Crey's Folly and clear the Rikti out. We can't let them get their hands on any more technology!

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat 40 Rikti

You discouraged the Rikti from pilfering technology in Crey's Folly.

Debriefing

Well, the Rikti will think twice before they hit the factories in Crey's Folly again! You did a great job. I'm sure those technicians are grateful.

Clear the Rikti out of Crey's Folly

Briefing

For the last few days the Rikti have been all over the factories over in Crey's Folly. They're making off with the companies' technology, even carrying off an occasional technician who gets in their way. I need you to head over to Crey's Folly and clear the Rikti out. We can't let them get their hands on any more technology!

The more technology the Rikti acquire, the greater the chance they'll find a way to teleport through our city zone force fields.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat 40 Rikti

Enemies

Rikti

Debriefing

Well, the Rikti will think twice before they hit the factories in Crey's Folly again! You did a great job. I'm sure those technicians are grateful.

Go to the Crey's Folly and defeat as many Rikti as you can

Briefing

Since people learned the Rikti can impersonate humans, we've been seeing a lot of paranoia. People don't trust each other. There's even a very real threat of civilian violence! I need you to get over to the Crey's Folly and defeat as many Rikti as you can. If people can see that we're on top of the Rikti situation, they'll feel a lot more secure.

When people get scared, they do irrational things. Sometimes it's our job to protect them from their own worst impulses.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat 40 Rikti

Debriefing

I just got a call from the Paragon City Free Press, they had a photographer covering your sweep through Crey's Folly. They wanted a quote about it all. I told them that as long as your is on the job, the Rikti will never threaten our safety again. People in this town respect you. Your actions have a lot of impact.

Concentrate your efforts against the Rikti menace

Briefing

Even after the war's end, the Rikti trapped on Earth still pose a deadly threat to the whole of mankind. We still don't know what they want or why they attacked in the first place, only that they refuse to give up and continue to spread panic and fear in the people of the city and the world. You're a well respected hero, and I think, if you were to concentrate your efforts against the Rikti for a while, it could help to show that the world's greatest heroes can defend the people of Earth.

The people of the city will be watching you closely, hoping to get inspiration from each victory you have against the Rikti.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat 40 Rikti

Debriefing

The menace of the Rikti is far from over, but you've shown people that they can't fear of the invaders rule their lives. The Rikti are still a threat, but with heroes like you in the world, I think it's a threat that we can handle.

Stop the Rikti from killing the Circle of Thorns

Briefing

I just learned that the Rikti are mounting a raid against a Circle of Thorns base. They've even got some sort of electronic device that momentarily zaps the brain's language center. It'll be a whole lot harder for those mystics to defend themselves if they can't remember the words to their spells! I know the Circle hasn't been a good neighbor, but if the Rikti push against them the Circle will push right back, and that would leave too many innocents trapped between them. I know it seems strange, but you've got to stop the Rikti from killing the Circle of Thorns. It won't be long before this gets out of hand. The Circle can get re-enforcements there in as little as 90 minutes.

Another day, another epic battle. Take care of yourself.

Mission Objective(s)

• 3 mystics to rescue - 90 minutes timed

Notes

• Even though it isn't a stated mission objective, this mission cannot be completed until all enemies have been defeated.

Debriefing

So, the Rikti eliminated the gods on their own planet? How very strange. That could explain their extreme hatred of heroes as well, after all, many of you seem like gods to the people you protect.

Find the real Rikti spy

Briefing

I've been accused of being a Rikti spy! The police won't tell me who made the accusation, but they took it seriously enough to search my apartment this morning. I swear I don't know how it got there, but they found a Rikti communicator under my mattress. Then they sent me to a lab for DNA testing, and the data came back positive. I'm being framed! My only hope is that you can find the real Rikti spy. It's probably someone over at the lab where I had the testing done. You'll have to hurry, though. You'll only have 2 hours to find him before they all go off-shift and the spy can disappear.

This is how the Rikti work: accusing innocents to divert suspicion from the real infiltrators. Please, don't let them get away with it!

This portable blood work kit should allow you to positively identify the real spy. Just test every person in that lab

Note: The in game mission statement is not clear. The primary mission is to uncover the Rikti spy, after which the mission can be exited. In addition there are five innocents that can be found.

Mission Objective(s)

You walk through the door and hear a blast of plasma gunfire. The Rikti are here!

• Uncover the Rikti spy.
  • 5 Innocents to Rescue

You uncovered the Rikti spy.

Debriefing

Thanks, you're a good friend. I wonder who that Rikti spy meant by the Restructurists? When the Rikti attacked they seemed like a monolithic block, but maybe there's more going on that we know. We won't find out from the one you captured, though. The spy used some kind of incendiary implant. There's nothing but ashes left.

Rescue the doctors from the Rikti

Briefing

The Rikti just attacked the Chiron Medical Center! Every single doctor was kidnapped, though the Rikti didn't seem to be interested in the nursing staff or orderlies. In fact, they left everyone else strictly alone. You've got to rescue those doctors from the Rikti. If they need human doctors, it could mean they're cooking up some new biological weapon. As soon as you're out of there, I want you to talk to Professor Jonathan St. John Smythe about possible threats posed by a biological attack.

See if you can find out what the Rikti are planning. Whatever it is, I'm sure it's not good.

Mission Objective(s)

• Rescue doctors from Rikti
  • 3 doctors to save

You rescued the doctors and learned that the Rikti are dying of chicken pox.

Enemies

Rikti

Mission Objective(s)

• Talk to St. John-Smythe

Mission Objective(s)

You hear a hoarse voice struggle over the words: 'We cannot trust them. The humans will not leave alive.'

• Exchange cure for hostages
  • 2 doctors to save

You defeated the Rikti and rescued the doctors.

Enemies

Rikti

Notable NPCs

• Deknar (Rikti)

Debriefing

The Rikti are having children, in their military outposts? I know they're an alien civilization, but it still doesn't make sense. I've got a theory about this. We know that we've been unable to access the Rikti world since the war. What if the Rikti can't, either? They're rebuilding their civilization, because their old world is lost to them. I'd bet my life on it.

Confiscate the Rikti music

Briefing

You know those recordings the Rikti POW's made of the music piped into their cells? Well, the government's afraid that music may contain subversive propaganda, and they're fighting an uphill battle to keep it out of people's hands. I've got a lead on a warehouse that's storing a bunch of CD's: Rikti music mixed with dance tracks, that sort of things. I want you to confiscate that Rikti music and defeat the Rikti doing the distribution. You'll have to hurry; once those discs hit the streets, there's no getting them back. You only have 1 hour to stop the distribution.

It's strange to protect people from something that seems so innocuous. Thanks for trusting me on this one.

Mission Objective(s)

• Confiscate CD's & defeat Rikti - 60 minutes timed
  • 5 crates to confiscate

You defeated the Rikti and confiscated the CD's.

Enemies

Rikti

Debriefing

This Rikti music is more insidious than anybody could have guessed. It's not propaganda; it's outright mind control! Those CD's labeled 'Euphoria' actually make you feel happy! Ditto for the rest. By conditioning people to accept emotional cues from this music, the Rikti can steal into our very minds. Who knows what they could make people do?

Appear at the science fiction convention

Briefing

How would you like to take it easy for a day? You've been asked to appear at a local science fiction convention, if you can believe it! The convention organizer told me they want some real life heroes there, to add a little drama. What do you say? Want to appear at the science fiction convention, be a big star?

You better practice your Vulcan neck pinch!

Mission Objective(s)

• X people to save

Debriefing

Yeah, I've heard of the Brotherhood. It's a group composed mostly of lost souls: the confused, the lonely, those who are looking for someone in the world to connect to. Can you believe they even think the Rikti are related to human beings? You did a good work rescuing those people. They may feel adrift now, but at least they have a chance at a life without illusions.

Stop the Rikti assault

Briefing

The Rikti are planning a major assault on a neighborhood called Kaylie Crescent! We haven't faced a situation like this since the war, when they wiped out whole neighborhoods in moments. You've got to get over there and stop this Rikti assault. I can give you the location of their first strike; it's the Sanderson office complex. After that, you'll have to figure out their next strike for yourself. Watch out though, you probably won't have a lot of time to stop that second strike.

We've got the area contained with an emergency force field, but there are still people trapped inside. It's been a long time since we've seen violence like this from the Rikti. Anything you can learn about their motives will help.

You hear the piercing whine that denotes the discharge of a plasma weapon

Mission Objective(s)

• Stop the Rikti assault
  • 9 people to save, Learn Rikti motives

The last Rikti you defeated told you the location of the next strike site.

Enemies

Rikti

Notable NPCs

• Kaylie Crescent Citizen x9 (NPC Hostage)

They wanted to do something terrible to us!
Listen! Strange things are happening!

Mission Objective(s)

Your hair stands on end, repeated plasma blasts have charged the air with static electricity

• Stop next Rikti assault - 90 minutes timed
  • Destroy the mutagen
  • 8 people to save

Enemies

Rikti

Notable NPCs

• Olenti (Boss) (Rikti)
• Worker x8 (NPC Hostage)

They tried to make us drink this green goo!

Debriefing

It looks like the factions within the Rikti army may be fighting a war as desperate as their war with humanity. I can't thank you enough for stopping the Traditionalist plot. It's hard to imagine the terror that would have swept through the populace if the Rikti had altered those people!

Spending time on this map appears to award the Shrouded badge.

Shrouded This otherworld has been overshadowed by corrupting magic.
