Information

Special Agent

In the dark world of meta-human covert operations, Longbow's standard agents become a liability. To address this concern, Longbow identified those agents most suited for the job, and had them trained by the best in the fields of counter-intelligence and espionage. Agent G is one of the first of this new breed. Personally trained by Agent Indigo and Agent Crimson, Agent G now fights against the forces of evil in the shadowy world of counter-espionage. His background, personal history, and identity have been hidden or erased to protect him and his work.

Prior to Introduction

You're Character. I know. I'm still in the middle of my investigations so I'm not ready to work with you yet.

Initial Contact

Greetings, Character. I'm Agent G. I'm glad you came. We first discovered that Arachnos was operating in Faultline when it became apparent that something had driven the Circle of Thorns out. At first we thought they were here to raid the old hero bases, just like the Sky Raiders. However, unlike the Sky Raiders, we soon noticed that their salvage operations were a cover for a directed search. At first we thought they might be attempting to recover Faultline's earthquake machines, but with what I've learned following your work with Dr. Delilah Stein, I fear it's much worse. I believe that Arachnos is close to locating the PsychoChronoMetron. I've done as much as I can covertly to stop them. Now I need an overt partner to finish this operation.

Greeting

• Arachnos is out there.
• Get ready.

Too Busy

This task will demand your complete attention. I'd strongly recommend closing or eliminating all other operations before we can continue.

Outlevelled Contact

For reasons I cannot reveal to you at this time, I cannot use your assistance on this mission. I'm sorry. With your power level, it's too big a risk.

No More Missions

This operation is over. Thank you for all of your assistance. The battle against Arachnos will continue, but we've made sure they won't be able to win this way. Though the rest of the world can never know how close it came, they all owe you their thanks.

A Faultline in the Sands of Time (20-24)

Defeat Captain Castillo

Briefing

We now know how, when, and where Sands is planning to escape with the PCM, but Nocturne also told Captain Castillo. I don't think Castillo really knows what the PsychoChronoMetron actually does, just that it's valuable. He's certain to try and get it. I think the best option is a pre-emptive strike to stop him.

Taking out Castillo may destabilize the area and allow Arachnos to get entrenched, but we don't have any choice. If the Sky Raiders even have a chance at getting the PCM, it could show up anywhere on the black market. Defeating Castillo now will not only keep him from interfering with the recovery operation, it should also keep the Sky Raiders off our backs until the situation is resolved.

Captain Castillo

Mission Objective(s)

The Sky Raider supply warehouse is remarkably well kept. They're pretty organized, at least.

• Defeat Captain Castillo
  • Find Castillo's Info, Defeat Captain Castillo

You have defeated Captain Castillo and found some vital information.

Notable NPCs

• Captain Castillo (Archvillain)

Enemies

Sky Raiders

Castillo's Desk

A quick search through Castillo's desk finds mostly men's fashion magazines, hair-care and personal grooming products, and signed glossy photos of himself; but eventually you find his paperwork. There are numerous memos from between Captain Castillo and Colonel Virgil Duray, the leader of the Sky Raiders, about the status of efforts in Faultline and the battle with Arachnos, as well as several patronizing and inept, though heartfelt, love-letters to Dr. Delilah Stein. But most important, there is the information from Nocturne about Arbiter Sands, confirming the information she gave you. There are also several books written by Dr. Stein on super-human history, none of which have ever been opened.

Debriefing

Castillo is in custody, and the information you retrieved confirms what Nocturne told us. It would be better if we could get a third source, but Arachnos has changed their codes, and there's no time. Arbiter Sands is leaving soon. You've got to stop him.

Stop Arbiter Sands and get the PCM

Briefing

The information Castillo had matches what Nocturne had told us. Arachnos has been bringing men and materials into the city through a series of underground rivers that lead to the ocean using submersibles. Arbiter Sands will attempt to leave the city the same way, but we know where and when. This is our last chance to stop Arachnos. It's a lot to ask of anyone. Can I count on you?

Good. The underground channels depend on the tides, so we have some guarantee for the departure times. This place will be heavily defended. You will need to cut off Arbiter Sands' means of escape by destroying any and all submersibles docked at the base, and then capture Arbiter Sands himself. Sands will have the PsychoChronoMetron on his person.

The submersibles dock

Mission Objective(s)

Deep in the earth, the sinister presence of Arachnos hides from the eyes of justice, but not from you!

• Recover the PsychoChronoMetron
  • Capture Arbiter Sands! 3 subs to destroy

You destroyed the sub base and recovered the PsychoChronoMetron!

Notable NPCs

• Arachnos Mini-Sub X3
• Arbiter Sands (Archvillain)

Enemies

Arachnos

	The PsychoChronoMetron
	Though dented and battered, this is it: The PsychoChronoMetron, a device capable of altering reality by transforming psychic energy into temporal energy and editing history itself. It boggles the mind to think of all the harm that this one little device could do.

Arbiter Sands's Battle Dialogue

Combat start: The tides are right. It's time to deliver Lord Recluse his final victory.
On Agro: It is Character, right? You've been tenacious. I despise that in a Hero.
At 75% Life: You've harmed me. Again. This won't do.
At 50% Life: Now this is absolutely bothersome.
I say that to very few people.
Most of them are dead now.
At 25% Life: Normally, I'd teleport to safety now, but that is, sadly, not possible at the moment.
Defeated: Well. This is an unfortunate turn of events.
Defeating a Character: I am going to request that the PCM is used on you. You'd be a useful henchman.

Debriefing

So, this is it? Incredible. We both know what it can do. It has to be destroyed, and in a manner that prevents it from ever being built again. That means using the PsychoChronoMetron against itself, to edit its own history, and maybe even some of the laws of reality. Turning Faultline into a villain is trivial compared to this. To overcome the backlash, you'd need someone with more psychic power than Sister Psyche. Someone with the psychic power on the order of the Clockwork King...

Or Penelope Yin.

Destroy the PsychoChronoMetron!

Briefing

The PsychoChronoMetron must be destroyed, permanently. The only way to do it is by having an immensely powerful psychic use the PCM on itself, so that it can't work again. To do that, you'll need to contact one of the most powerful, albeit untrained, psychics on Earth: Penelope Yin. However, this will not be easy for 3 reasons: Arbiter Sands, Nocturne the Night Widow, and Captain Castillo all escaped custody during their transfer to Zigursky Penitentiary. I fear they're going to try and intercept you. Tell me when you're ready and I'll have a chopper waiting to take you to Yin's market to meet with Penelope. And be careful. You might want to get more help, if you haven't already.

Mission Acceptance

Secure Penelope Yin, give her the PCM, and tell her to order it never to work again. She should be able to take care of the rest. If you encounter Arbiter Sands, Nocturne the Night Widow, or Captain Castillo, don't concern yourself with them. In fact, you may be able to get them to eliminate each other, considering their history. Getting the PCM to Penelope is your only objective. If you stay on-track, it may only take you minutes. Good Luck.

Unnecessary Solicitation

  • Free Penelope Yin

The PsychoChronoMetron is destroyed!

Note: Sky Raiders, and two different factions of Arachnos will all be hostile to each other.

Arbiter Sands, Night Widow Nocturne, and Captain Castillo dialogue

Before combat:
Captain Castillo: "I hate to interrupt, but..."
Arbiter Sands: "You just don't know when to quit, do you?"
Night Widow Nocturne: "I'll never give up!"
Captain Castillo: "Excuse me!"
Arbiter Sands: "I see..."
Night Widow Nocturne: "I'll use that device to change history, and I shall be the Ghost Widow!"
Captain Castillo: "Hello! Me!"
Arbiter Sands: "Is this about the time I dumped you?"
Night Widow Nocturne: "Emotionless! Untouchable!"
Castillo: "Ahem!"
Sands: "What do you want, Castillo?"
Nocturne: "WHAT!"
Castillo: "I am hating to be the one doing the interrupting,"
Castillo: "but I believe that I shall be making that valuable little widget belong to me."
Sands: "..."
Nocturne: "..."
Sands: "I don't think so."
Nocturne: "I think not!"

Combat start:
Arbiter Sands: "For Lord Recluse, etc. etc."
Night Widow Nocturne: "Get out of my way if you don't want to die!"
Captain Castillo: "Attack now, my Sky Raiders!"

Penelope Yin dialogue

Upon rescue: "I felt like this was going to be a busy day!"
"You want me to do what? Okay, sure, I guess."
"Okay, little widget, you don't work anymore!"

Debriefing

It's over. The PsychoChronoMetron is destroyed, and can never be rebuilt. Sands, Nocturne, and Castillo are all back in custody. We won't be able to hide Penelope Yin's powers anymore, so we're arranging some tutoring from Sister Psyche, Aurora Borealis, and others for her. Arachnos and the Sky Raiders still have their bases here, but I feel confidant Longbow and the PPD will be able to contain them.

You saved the world today. And maybe reality itself. That's something to think about.

As for me, after all this reality-bending stuff, I think I'm going to go to Yin's Market for a shave-ice. He does them Hawaiian style, my favorite way.
