Information
Super Heroic Computer Expert
Dr. Michael Orts, known as Number Six, has a unique ability; he can turn himself into pixilated data and insert himself into any computer in the world, no matter how high tech it is. This power has a downside however; Number Six has a tough time coming back, and his body was permantely turned into metal. Number Six was recently lost for years in a Crey facility until he was recovered with the help of Gaussian and a woman called the Doctor.
Since then, Vanguard has been employing Number Six to help with their portal technology and with the evacuation of Praetoria.

Doctor Orts of Vanguard has an urgent message for you.
One of Vanguard's head dimensional scientists is requesting your help..

Initial Contact
When Number Six speaks, his voice has a sort of echo to it, as if it is reverberating against something.
Hello, Character! I'm glad you got my memo. I'm Dr. Michael Orts, but you can just call me Number Six! It's sort of my professional nickname.
Before you ask, yes, I am very... pixellated! It's due to a power I have, where I can turn myself into pixels and enter into computers!
Isn't it fascinating?
- Wasn't there a reason you called me, Number Six?
Oh, yes! Sorry, my mind sometimes has a hard time focusing, what with the pixels.
Yes, Vanguard is currently working on the evacuation of what we're calling the Final Bastion in Praetoria. This was a place that several rogue IDF troops set up to be an outpost from Emperor Cole. The outpost was quite impressive, really! They had sonic fences to keep the Hamidon back, along with |turret schematics stolen from Lambda sector to serve as their defense.
The civilization is falling, however; it was going to be our last outpost in Praetoria, but I don't think it's possible for us to recover it. We need you to help with the final evacuation, Character!
You think things over for a moment. You've fought a god of death in Dark Astoria and helped push back the forces of Praetoria in Imperial City. You have the power to do more than help in an evacuation, you have the power to turn the tide and save this place and establish one last outpost in Praetoria!
- I'll help, but we're not going to abandon that civilization.
Greeting
- Let's go, Character! I know you can do it!

Briefing
Huh? You don't want to evacuate?
You want to SAVE this place?! That's crazy! Why, you'd have to be...
... A super powered incarnate to begin to think that's feasible. OK, so, maybe it's possible. Okay, okay, think Orts... There's got to be a way we can make this work.
Well, okay, here's the situation we have right now. There's a Seed of Hamidon making its way to way to code-name Last Bastion. The Lambda turrets have all stopped working, along with the sonic fences. The entire place is crawling with Devouring Earth. Vanguard and well, the good IDF, are doing their best to rescue any remaining civilians and get them out using our new Portal Corp tech, courtesy of Emil Christie.
But... oh, OH! I have an idea! Yes, I think I know how we could pull this off!
- I'm all ears, Dr. Orts.
Okay, so, you know how Emperor Cole was able to give his Praetors greater powers? What if... And this is a big if... you were able to do that to the Lambda turrets? Maybe you could use your Incarnate powers to temporarily reboot them with Incarnate energy!
It's possible that turrets firing energy of that magnitude could repel something as massive as the Seed of Hamidon! Because, to be frank, Character, if the Seed of Hamidon makes it there, that place is doomed, and we'll need to close the portal ASAP.
I would suggest that's your main goal, after you've secured the area! Serpent Drummer is leading the evacuation, so I would talk to him once you're through. Good luck, Character!
Unnecessary Solicitation
Oh! Did you need something else? Did I forget something? I don't think I did...

Briefing
Character, Dr. Orts said that you would be coming here to help with an evacuation. I just received an odd message, however, that you intend to try to save this place instead of give it up to the Hamidon.
That's admirable. I would help you, but I'm unfortunately spent. I've done everything I can to protect the last refugees that are here.
- Alright. What's the situation?
We've got Vanguard engineers that are out missing in the field, along with civilians trapped in those crumbling buildings.
We can't get them out with all the Devouring Earth around here, however. We need the Vanguard engineers back here to power up the portal - it'll take forever to evacuate everyone one by one. Well, I guess that is if we're going to evacuate.
Vanguard and the IDF can recover the civilians trapped in the buildings once the numbers of the Devouring Earth are thinned.
You see the ground starting to rumble somewhat - the Devouring Earth are moving in on the portal!
- Here they come!
|
Ambush! You are ambushed by one wave of Devouring Earth |
You use your Incarnate power to power up the turrets...
You've rebooted the turrets with your Incarnate powers!
Briefing
Alright, Character, the Vanguard engineers were able to get the Lambda turrets back online. They're reporting huge spikes in their energy after your infusion.
The Seed of Hamidon is coming in fast - are you ready to face it down?
- I am, let's get this started.

Debriefing
Talk about your last minute saves, Character! We've got several super strength heroes on the scene now to position the powered up Lambda turrets around the area.
Serpent Drummer has set up a base inside the main building of Last Bastion; that's where all the civilians are currently staying. We're not out of the woods yet, however. Well, technically, you're about to go into the woods! Let me explain... Mission:Praetoria's Last Gasp - Part Two Mission:Praetoria's Last Gasp - Part Three Mission:Praetoria's Last Gasp - Finale
