Information
Street Fixer
This shadowy figure sticks to the shadows of the alleyway. No one knows who he really is, but those in the know hear he's got the pulse on what's going down in Crimson Cove.
Initial Contact
Let me get some things straight: you don't know me, you never saw me, we never met. Clear? Okay, let's get down to business.
Story Arc
Souvenir: Zag Security Badge
This is a badge taken from one of the Zag security guards at Agincourt in the Nerva Archipelago. You acquired it in a tale you like to call:
Zag Breakout!
It all started when a shadowy figure in the alleys of Crimson Cove informed you that certain interested parties were interested in hiring out your services. Traveling to Sharkhead Isle, you met with Lorenz Ansaldo, a troubleshooter for the Family. He passed on to you a large brown envelope containing security information on the prison facility known as the Zag located in the Longbow stronghold known as Agincourt. The envelope also had information on a known Family sniper and demolition expert called James O'Clary who was a prisoner in the Zag. You spoke with the shadowy figure and he set to work on getting the final details necessary for springing O'Clary from the prison.
The shadowy figure said you need to acquire a set of passcodes to get past the Zag security doors from a Longbow base. In order to prevent Longbow from initiating a prison lockdown after you stole the passcodes, you needed to get a prototype Ultra-Jammer from one of Dr. Aeon's labs in order to stop all outgoing transmissions. After defeating a number of Arachnos guards, you stole the Ultra-Jammer from the lab safe.
You broke into the Longbow base, planted the Ultra-Jammer and stole the Zag security passcodes. Taking the passcodes, you slipped into the Zag proper to break out James O'Clary from his cell.
Store
The Shadowy Figure sells the following items:
- Inspirations
- Level 25 Natural/Technology Dual-Origin Enhancements
- Level 25 Natural Single-Origin Enhancements
- Level 30 Natural Single-Origin Enhancements
Missions
Kidnap J. D. Ross
Briefing
Arachnos has a big operation going down, and they need some help from a freelancer to pull it off. There's a visiting political dignitary named J.D. Ross who's been speaking out on matters that Arachnos would prefer to keep under wraps. Arachnos wants to kidnap this individual for 're-education', but expects heavy resistance from Longbow forces. Disrupt the local Longbow base, then kidnap the politician.
Once the Longbow base operations are disrupted, you'll only have a limited time before their reinforcements arrive. You have 75 minutes to compltete the latter mission.
We have a boat waiting in Crimson Cove. When Arachnos makes its moves, you'll be brought in to follow up.
Mission Objective(s)
- Defeat Agent Chamberlain and team
Mission Objective(s)
- Defeat Longbow guards (Timed, 1:15)
- Kidnap J.D. Ross
Debriefing
Arachnos is impressed by your performance!
Take on Longbow
Briefing
Alright, I need someone who isn't afraid to go up against Longbow. If you think you're tough enough, go talk to Lorenz Ansaldo on Sharkhead Isle.
Ansaldo's got some important info for the task at hand.
Mission Objective(s)
- Talk with Lorenz Ansaldo
Debriefing: Lorenz Ansaldo
You! That shadowy guy in Nerva sent ya? I got somethin' for ya...
The Family has some deep pockets, and we paid primo bucks for the info in this envelope. But your fella in Nerva has provided us with some quality heist info in the past, so we're willing to part with this stuff as 'repayment for services rendered.' Capisce?
Now get outta here!
Debriefing
You got the envelope from Ansaldo? Its contents should detail what our objective is going to be. Let me take a look and I'll work out what else we're going to need.
Steal Ultra-Jammer from Aeon lab
Briefing
So we've got to spring a Family hitman called James O'Clary out of the Zag. I've read the security documents you got from Lorenzo Ansaldo, and I think we can do this break-in no problem. All we need are the latest codes to bypass the main security doors. Those things are thick titanium with built-in phase blockers—pretty high-tech stuff!
Ansaldo's files have information on a Longbow base that has the necessary security codes. The problem is that as soon as the base is compromised, they're going to put a security lockdown on the Zag. We need a way to kill any Longbow transmissions coming out of that base. Conventional jammers won't be able to stop Longbow tech, but I know that one of Dr. Aeon's labs have developed a working prototype of a hyper-charged Ultra-Jammer that kills any transmissions while still remaining undetectable. That's exactly what we need for this job! Break into the Aeon lab and steal the Ultra-Jammer.
You're going to run into some Arachnos trouble, so try to keep a low profile.
Mission Objective(s)
- Steal Ultral-Jammer from Aeon lab
Clue: Ultra-Jammer
This device looks like a small chrome toaster with dials and antennae. It is a hyper-charged transmission jammer taken from one of Dr. Aeon's labs. You plan to use it in a Longbow base after you still the security passcodes to the Zag prison in Agincourt.
Debriefing
You got the Ultra-Jammer? Perfect, perfect. Let me get it ready and tested.
Steal passcodes, plant jammer, bust out prisoner
Briefing
Okay—it's go time! We've got the profile on the prisoner you need to break out of the Zag, and the Hyper-Jammer which will allow us to acquire the security door passcodes without setting off alarms. You'll need to steal the passcodes and plant the Hyper-Jammer in the Longbow base, then break James O'Clary out of the Zag.
Once the Hyper-Jammer is in place, you'll only have a short time before they discover the device. You'll have about 90 minutes to bust James O'Clary from the Zag.
If you get caught in the Zag, you don't know me.
Mission Objective(s)
- Steal passcodes
- Plant Ultra-Jammer
Clue: Zag Security Passcodes
These are the security passcodes to the Zag, the prison facility at Agincourt on the Nerva Archipelago.
Mission Objective(s)
- Break James O'Clary out of the Zag (Timed, 1:30)
- Rescue O'Clary
Debriefing
Lorenz Ansaldo passed on the news that the Family is pleased with your work!
End of Story Arc
This mission concludes the Zag Breakout! story arc and earns a hero the Zag Security Badge souvenir. It also award a hero a Level + 4 Single-Origin enhancement of the hero's origin.
Help Furious B Establish Base
Briefing
As you may have noticed, the Freakshow don't have a hold in the area. Well, I was approached by a Freakshow boss named Furious B about helping them establish a base. Head over to the sewers underneath Crimson Cove and help Furious B clear out the Lost. Once that's done Furious B can start bringing in the rest of his gang.
The Lost are dug in fairly well, but you've got Furious B to back you up.
Mission Objective(s)
- Defeat all Lost in sewers
Debriefing
Furious B gives you the thumbs up and disappears into the shadows. He'll be trying to get the rest of his gang in there as soon as he can get the smell of the Lost out!
Furious B has sent word. He and the rest of his gang are on the way from Paragon City. Looks like we have some new neighbors!
Steal research data from lab
Briefing
One of the research labs here on Crimson Cove has been doing some interesting work on controlled mutations. Certain interested parties at Crey would love to get their hands on this research, but the lab isn't interested in selling. Crey has tried 'persuading' the scientists at the lab, but this just resulted in the lab hiring Wyvern to provide security. Go to the research lab and force the lead scientist to give you the research data.
Here's the profile on the load scientist in the lab. He should be easy to intimidate.
Mission Objective(s)
- Steal research data from lab
- Rescue Cecil Grywacheski!
Clue: Muta-Gene Research Data
This disc contains all the research data for the Muta-Gene project.
Debriefing
You got the research data? Crey Industries will be pleased.
Extract Longbow defector
Briefing
Okay, we got an extraction job if you're not afraid of going up against Longbow. One of their agents has been speaking with Arachnos and wants to defect. To prove his loyalty, Arachnos wants him to steal a bunch of intel from Longbow before the extraction occurs. Unfortunately, the intel data is very high-profile, so as soon as he steals it Longbow is going to be on him in an instant. Head over to the Longbow base and extract the defector.
Here's the profile on the Longbow defector. He'll wait until you invade the base to steal the data. Then you just need to extract him from the base. Once Longbow realizes what he stole they're going to send everything they have after you, so be prepared.
Clue: Longbow Defector Profile
This envelope contains a dossier on the Longbow defector. His name is Geoffrey Richardson, and he is an intel coordinator at this Longbow base. He's apparently been offered a great deal of wealth and a posting within Arachnos after a round of 'Longbow de-programming.'
Mission Objective(s)
- Extract Longbow defector
- Rescue Geoffrey Richardson!
Debriefing
Nice work. Some Arachnos operatives picked up Richardson for some 'Longbow de-programming.'
Disrupt Longbow information network
Briefing
Part of the strength of Longbow is its information technology. Their surveillance and communication systems are top-notch. Destroy that strength and Longbow is crippled.
Aeon labs has developed a super-strong computer virus called 'Redback' that will blow through Longbow's systems. Get the super-virus, then break into a Longbow base and upload it into their network.
You'll have to get to their core systems deep within the facility. Expect a lot of resistance.
Mission Objective(s)
- Get computer virus
Debriefing: Operative Rutger
Yes, I have what you're looking for. We like to call it the 'Redback Virus.' It's quite a nasty computer virus cooked up by our technicians. I'm looking forward to seeing the results of it on the Longbow information network!
Clue: Redback Virus
This is a computer virus called 'Redback,' designed to cripple the Longbow computer networks.
Mission Objective(s)
- Upload virus to computer
Debriefing
Nice work. The Redback virus should cripple Longbow operations for the next while.
