Mission:Destiny Follows - Part Two: Acceptable Losses

Part Two: Acceptable Losses

I'll have my agents go through your report, {Character}}. Hopefully we'll be able to get some insight on how Zukor is controlling your peers.

For the time being, you're going to need to remain in Baron Zukor's good graces. You've made good strides toward that goal already, but you're going to need to keep up appearances.

Ruben hands you a folded sheet of paper.

Our agents intercepted this missive just recently. It's from Zukor's cult, and it's addressed to you. They want you to attack a local Arachnos facility.

• Attack Arachnos? I would never...

Save it, Character. There's no need to play dumb, I know how things work in the Isles.

In this case, we've deemed the operation necessary, to maintain your cover. I've reviewed the personnel roster at the target's location and made a few minor changes - nothing conspicuous, I assure you. I just hate to waste competency. The standing force that remains... well, they would not represent a significant loss to Arachnos's presence in Cap au Diable.

The missive indicates that you'll be paired with another of Zukor's cultists. Make sure you remain convincing, but see if you can discern Zukor's motives in all this. We still don't know what he's up to.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Get going, Character. The last thing we need right now is Zukor getting suspicious.

Mission Objective(s)

This is the base Zukor wanted you to hit. As far as 'heroic' jobs go, knocking Arachnos heads isn't so bad. If you're going to go along with this charade, you may as well cut loose.

• Cripple the Arachnos Base
  • Disable the Arachnos communication array
  • Expose the Arachnos base to detection
  • Bring down the Base's automated defenses
  • Talk to the Longbow Officer

You've managed to subdue the base's defenses... and discovered something interesting in the process

Debriefing

Longbow?!?

I'm aware of their incursions on Fort Darwin, but I didn't think they'd be bold enough to try to take Cap au liable so soon.

This makes sense, Character. For one man to try and turn all of the Destined Ones as a solo operation... that's beyond foolish. It would be suicidal. With Longbow's backing, however, this gambit starts to make sense.

If Baron Zukor has their support, and manages to corral enough Destined Ones, he'd have a potent enough army to march on Aeon City.

For the record, this is why we didn't use the brute force approach. If we play this right, we can cause their whole operation to backfire.
