Mission:Tipping the Scales - Part Two: Nosferatu's Croatoa

Part Two: Nosferatu's Croatoa

Mission Briefing

Riptide sent us a report that several odd chambers were air dropped into Croatoa. Shortly afterwards, creatures resembling vampires emerged from them! This is no doubt the work of Nosferatu. Riptide is on the scene now trying to hold him off.

The Council is trying to occupy Croatoa, which is very... strange. It's not a strategic spot at all, but they're sending one of their top lieutenants to take the area.

Founders' Falls... Croatoa... they don't make any sense as strategic targets, Character. Why not attack Atlas Park, Kings Row, or Independence Port? They're all more valuable than these places...

• I'll head to Croatoa to deal with Nosferatu.

I'll do that. Riptide has told me that Nosferatu and his minions have cleared the town of the Fir Bolg and the witches. They truly are intending a full take over of the city.

Riptide won't be able to hold off against Nosferatu for very long, but he's left beacons behind that you can activate to provide him some support.

Nosferatu is very powerful, Character, you'd best be careful. Aurora is on her way to give you support, and Riptide will also be able to help you if you can keep him from being defeated beforehand.

	Nosferatu's Dossier
	Name: Nosferatu Background: Nosferatu was the brains behind the 5th Column's original super soldier program. He was so entranced by what he dubbed 'vampyri' that he became one of them. Nosferatu defected to the Council and has been running experiments since then. He was briefly captured and doing work for the Nemesis army, but he was stopped by a hero and put in the Zig.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Nosferatu is extremely powerful. Be on your guard, Character.

Nosferatu Dialogue

Before Combat:

Nosferatu: Croatoa holds many mysteries... all of them can be used for some very interesting scientific experiments...

Combat Start:

Riptide: Let's show this freak what we're made of.

Aurora Pena: Your time is at an end, Nosferatu!

Nosferatu: Ah, an old friend. Didn't we meet when Nemesis had me doing those experiments? Well, I'll make sure to finish you off this time.

Nosferatu: Do you really think you can stop progress? Let's see how far this thought process will get you!

Upon Defeat:

Riptide: Can't help but wonder how you would've been fighting on our side.

Aurora Pena: You'll rot in the Zig for a long time, Nosferatu.

	Nosferatu's Plan
	You defeated Nosferatu in Croatoa and discovered that this was a test for their mobile vampyri chambers! That could be why they chose Croatoa - it was isolated enough that setting up such a plan would be easier than other parts of Paragon City.

Debriefing

Excellent work as usual, Character, although I'm beginning to get worried. The Council definitely has a bigger picture planned, one that we're not fully aware of. I don't believe Calvin Scott is aware of it... or if he is, perhaps he's somehow going along with it.

Alec Parson and I will continue to do more work investigating what the Council could be planning. Pendragon and Aurora are working on fighting Archon Burkholder in Striga Isle, although it appears that the Council and UPA have formed a much tighter defense on the island than we previously expected. We also believe that Marauder has his abilities back, judging by some of the small craters we've seen on the island. This calls for drastic measures, Character.
