- 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!)

Debriefing
You've made the Rikti pay for destroying my life. but somehow I don't feel sated. I guess Peace: Elusive, huh? I want to see the Rikti pay more.
Story Arcs
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. |
Notable NPCs
- Pik'Tarn (Rikti Chief Soldier)
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
Mission Objective(s)
- Raid the Circle Library

Thank you, Villain. I'll try reading the incarnation. If this works, we should know immediately.

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!
Missions
Save the Arachnos lab
Briefing
Arachnos agents have often come to my aid. They're helping me get closer to uncovering the lost fragments of my past, but right now they're in trouble. Crey security forces are attacking an Arachnos lab, bent on stealing Arachnos technology. We're going to have to save that Arachnos lab, Villain. It'll be good for both our reputations.
This task: Most dangerous. Take care.
An alarm siren echoes down these corridors.

- Defeat all Crey agents in lab
- Seek reason for raid

| This footage, downloaded from an Arachnos computer, shows hideous experiments being performed on members of the Lost. You recognize one of the subjects as none other than your contact, Timothy Raymond. |
Notable NPCs
- None.
Debriefing
Well done, Villain. Arachnos: my sworn friends. This: Incontrovertible. They have shown such an interest in helping me recover my memory, and I am glad to be able to repay them.
Kidnap the scientists
Briefing
Villain, I have an urgent matter to discuss. One of my contacts within Arachnos has tipped me off to a Crey experiment being conducted right here in Nerva. Crey has several scientists investigating the human memory, especially in cases where it has been corrupted due to psionic tampering. I want those scientists. They may be able to help me recover the months I lost during my stay with the Rikti.
My memory: Gone. My former self: Dead. Help me, Villain.
Arachnos suspects there are valuable secrets locked inside Timothy's addled skull. If you can unlock them, it could mean a big step up in the world.
Mission Objective(s)
- Kidnap the scientists
- 3 doctors to kidnap
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Crey Protector * 3 (One with every doctor)
- Dr. Flaubert (Hostage)
- Dr. Miyamoto (Hostage)
- Dr. Carstairs (Hostage)
Debriefing
You've done well, Villain. Arachnos will keep those scientists you kidnapped on ice for a while. With any luck, they'll be able to restore my lost memories. If they can't, things won't go so well for them. Arachnos: Forgiving: Not.
Unmask the Rikti spy
Briefing
One thing I can thank the Rikti for: under their control, my latent psionic powers became greatly enhaced. Lately, I have been able to sense the people around me. Not clearly, not completely. But still, the power is there. I can sense that somewhere, within the ranks of Crey, a Rikti spy lurks. Help me unmask and destroy this individual, and I will reward you quite well.
An ally: Kelly Uqua. She works within Crey, and has been seeking the spy's identity for me. Please speak to her at once.
Briefing: Kelly Uqua
Thanks for coming, Villain. At first, I tought Timothy was crazy when he said there was a Rikti working at Crey. That is, until I did some digging. I've uncovered the spy's identity: Thornbird. Thornbird used to be loyal to Crey: in fact, he was a Paragon Protector! But lately, his activities have been erratic. I think Thornbird was replaced some months ago by a Rikti who was genetically altered to look just like him. I can't tell the company about this, it would cause an epidemic of panic! It's better if you just take out Thornbird without anyone knowing why. He's leading a research expedition in Primeva.
It's surprising that a Rikti spy was able to squeak past Crey's rigurous security measures.
Mission Objective(s)
- Defeat Thornbird & his guards
- Don't let Thornbird escape!
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Thornbird (Crey Protector)
Debriefing
Excellent. Rikti spy: destroyed. You: to thank.
Help Timothy's sister
Briefing
I remember little about my life before the Lost, but I remember one person: my sister. We were twins, and altough I am now so altered she would scarcely recognize me, I still feel a connection to her. Last night, I felt a sharp pang of panic. I believe Tina is in danger from Longbow. Please, help my sister!
I'll pay you well, don't worry. As long as Tina makes it out alive.
If Tina has attracted Longbow attention, Crey Industries won't be too pleased with her performance. Of course, that's not your problem.
Mission Objective(s)
- Extract Tina Raymond from base
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Longbow Warden
- Tina Raymond (Ally NPC)
Debriefing
Thank you for freeing my sister from those Longbow vigilantes. I am sure there are good things ahead of her. I may have lost my past, but at least Remains: Intact: One Part of it. Tina.
(BUG: After finishing this mission (successfully) I got the message "Story Arc Complete", and a window to choose between some types of Single Origin Enhacements opened. I got the End of Story Arc bonus as well, in experience and infamy. But, as you can see, this mission is not related to any story arcs at all, so I suspect it's a bug, and the ends of this mission and "Recover Timothy's DNA" mission, at the end of the "Strange Memories" Story Arc, are somehow swapped.)
