- Kelly Uqua Minimum level 35
You know Kelly Uqua. She works for Crey Industries. Her specialty is acquiring exotic technologies, particularly Rikti technology, no questions asked. Crey recently moved her out to the Rogue Isles from Paragon City after some rumors about journalists disappearing started to pop up. This could be good for you, because that means she has to re-build her network of 'Acquisitions Agents.' She can get you Science and Mutant Enhancements.
Kelly's manner: a bit strange. She lives for her work, though, so take my advice and don't cross her.
Information
Ex Lost
Timothy Raymond could have been a hero. His latent psionic abilities, under the proper tutelage, could have developed into truly phenomenal powers. Sadly, that wasn't in the cards for Timothy. Instead of attracting the attention of Paragon City's heroes, his abilities attracted the attention of The Lost. he was recruited into their ranks, where he remained for nearly a year while his body and mind underwent drastic changes due to continued use of the mutagenic srug, Shift. His mental power eventually enabled Timothy to free himself, but not without permanent damage to his own psyche. Arachnos likes to keep him around because the suspect that Rikti secrets lie deep within his troubled mind. Whether that's true or not remains to be seen.
Initial Contact
Villain:at last. You have haunted my dreams for some time, and now you are here in the flesh. This moment: doubt, excitement, terror. I know we will bring one another closer to our destinies. But I do not know whether those destinies are happy or forlorn.

Badge Mission
Eliminate Kit'Vul
Briefing
Greetings. I don't know what you've heard about me, but I know the kinds of things people say. They say I'm crazy. They say I'm amnesiac. Well, maybe they're right. Since I broke free of The Lost, I haven't really been right in the head. Can't even remember half the things that happened to me while I was with them. And I hate them for that. That's why we're talking. I've learned the location of the Rikti soldier I escaped from. If you can eliminate Kit'Vul, you'll have my eternal gratitude. Commence: Violence! Kit'Vul: Destroy!
The Rikti ruined my life. Payment: Compulsory!
(IMPORTANT: Though nor the Briefing nor the Objectives mention this, Kit'Vul will try to make a run to the exit as soon as you attack him. Have ready a method to stop him somehow before engaging!)

Strange Memories
Souvenir: Rikti embryo
You've kept this Rikti embryo fertilized with human DNA as a reminder of an unusual adventure you like to think of as:
Strange Memories
It began with a sudden resurgence of Timothy Raymond's memory: he recalled a secret Rikti base in Primeva. You ventured there, and defeated the Rikti inside, but were left with questions. The Rikti leader seemed to remember Timothy, but you had no idea what this might mean.
Timothy's frustration with his lost memory reached a peak then. He decided he was tired of waiting for Arachnos to help him recover his memory. Instead, he sent you to a Circle of Thorns base, where you stole a tome that would help him regain his memories.
The spells contained within the tome worked, and Timothy remembered something more: his DNA had been stolen by the Rikti. He sent you to investigate, and what you uncovered was horrible and fascinating at the same time. The Rikti had used Timothy's DNA to fertilize a number of Rikti embryos. You could only assume his latent psionic gifts were somehow of use to them.
You smuggled the embryos away, and gave most of them to Timothy, who immediately resolved to incinerate them. Before he sent you away, he parted with one final secret, the last thing he had remembered. Rikti were people. Somehow, humans and Rikti shared a common genetic heritage. You're not sure of the full implications of this secret, but you know it's a valuable one.
Wipe out the Rikti
Briefing
I've remembered something. A secret Rikti base on Primeva, one they never speak of, even in their most secret communications. I think I was kept there. If we move quickly, we may be able to catch the scum-sucking vermin unaware. I want every Rikti in that base wiped out. Do you understand me?
Each Rikti: Dead. Their Legacy: Finished!
These caves are unnaturally warm
Mission Objective(s)
- Defeat all Rikti in base

Pik'Tarn's story |
| When you defeated the Rikti warrior Pik'Tarn, he gasped:
"Circle: Draws Closed. His Past:Our Future." It could be that this has something to do with Timothy's lost memories. |

Debriefing
Pik'Tarn mentioned me? By name? Situation: Terrifying Yet Compelling. Villain, we have to learn more.
Raid the Circle library
Briefing
I've been dealing with this butchered memory of mine for long enough, Villain. Tired: Playing Around. Ready:Action! Arachnos keeps telling me the'll help me recover my lost memories. Well, Guess What: Timothy: Patient Enough. If science can't help me, I'm going to try magic. I've learned of a Circle of Thorns library over on Primeva. I want you to get there and find anything you can that might help restore my memory.
Thank you for doing this, Villain. You are a truer friend than most.
The air smells sharply of cloves

Recover Timothy's DNA
Briefing
Villain, I should have tried a magical means of restoring my memory long ago. I remember everything. When I was a member of the Lost, the Rikti took DNA samples from me. I imagine because of my psionic gifts. I don't know what they did with those samples, but I know where I was when they took them. I want you to get to tahat Rikti lab and recover my DNA. While you're there, destroy anyone who gets in your way.
I don't really know what the Rikti's plan for my DNA was. But I know I can't let it succeed.
According to experts, the entire world is dotted with these underground Rikti bunkers. The strength of their forces on Earth remains impossible to calculate.
Mission Objective(s)
- Defeat all Rikti in lab
- Find Timothy's DNA
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- None
Debriefing
So, the Rikti were using my DNA to create a new generation of aliens? I can only assume my psionic gifts gave them something they lacked. But there's something else I have to tell you, Villain. Something else I've remembered. Rikti:Humans. They share a common ancestry with us. Some How. Some Way. That's why my DNA could fertilize their embryos, and it's probably the biggest secret left on this earth. There's no way I'm sharing this info with Arachnos. Now that I have my memory back, I recall a lot of nasty things they've done to me. No, Villain, this secret is just for you and me.
At least I won't share a legacy with the creatures. I'm going to incinerate these embryos you found, Villain. I'd rather die than be father to the Rikti's future!
