War Wall Defender

You foiled a plot to undermine the War Walls that protect Paragon City.

Debriefing

Success: Well, Character, you may have just prevented a major Rikti assault. According to those engineers you rescued, the Rikti needed to bring down the War walls in order to override the city's teleportation network. With that kind of transportation, we would have seen strike forces all over the city within hours. The people of this city sure owe you a debt of gratitude today.

Failure: Don't you worry. We'll rebuild. Paragon City is used to that. Those War Walls won't be damaged for long; you'll see.

Souvenir

Crey data disc

You've kept this data disc containing Crey's mind control programs. It may seem like a dangerous souvenir to some, but to you it's insurance in case you once again have to do battle with Crey's:

Corporate Culture

It seemed strange when the Freakshow struck a Crey office and Crey security had no response. But it was even stranger when you learned that the Freaks were after a simple accountant, Kimberly Kellerman.

Seeking information, you took the fight to the Freakshow. You defeated Saiba the Damaga and learned that the Freaks had been hired to kill Mrs. Kellerman.

The Freaks still hadn't been paid in full, so they had a meeting with their employer. You crashed this meeting, and found yourself in battle against Crey's security forces. They claimed they were also investigating the Freaks' attack, but you found a note that indicated otherwise.

You were then contacted by Tracy Templeton, Kimberly's sister. She told you that Mrs. Kellerman had gone missing shortly after going to visit her husband at the Crey lab where he worked. When you went to speak with him, you learned that he couldn't remember his wife. You described Kimberly, and he told you that such a woman had been taken away by Crey security.

Before you could continue the search for Kimberly, her sister Tracy was kidnapped. You rescued her just before Crey security disposed of her as a complication.

When you rescued Tracy, Ken Kellerman recovered his memory. Fearing Crey security, he went into hiding and contracted you for help. When you arrived at his hiding place, Ken had already been taken away, but he left you a map to his new location.

You liberated both Ken and Kimberly Kellerman despite heavy resistance, and they told you of a Crey Mind Control Center under the direction of Dr. Amadeo Giacomo.

You captured the evil Dr. Giacomo along with Crey's mind control technology. Unfortunately, Dr. Giacomo's own memory was erased by his internal mental failsafe. Crey Industries thanked you for rooting out the corruption in their corporate structure. But you were left wondering just how much of it was really corruption? And how much was business as usual?

Stop the Freakshow raid

Briefing

A bunch of Freakshow are running riot in a Crey-owned accounting office. I guess Crey's own security forces must be spread pretty thin, because they haven't been able to respond. Those Freaks will rip that place apart unless someone stops them. Do you think you can stop that Freakshow raid?

Mission Acceptance

The raid leader is a metal Freak named Mass Def. I'd like you to take him out if you can.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I want to know those Crey accountants are safe!

Mission Objective(s)

Panicked people, broken bottles, and crude laughter all point to the presence of the Freakshow.

Defeat Mass Def and his men

	After you rescued her from the Freakshow, Kimberly Kellerman told you: 'Thank you so much. It's strange, but I think that those Freaks were looking for me. I was so scared until you came. I have to call my husband and tell him I'm okay.'

Debriefing

You make saving the day look easy, Character. But what I can't figure out is why the Freaks were there in the first place. From the sound of things, they specifically targeted Mrs. Kellerman. In fact, it sounds like they were hired to go after her! I'm going to see if I can find out a bit more about what they were up to.

Get some answers from Saiba the Damaga

Briefing

I did some checking after the Freakshow hit that Crey office. I still don't know why they were deliberately targeting Mrs. Kellerman, but I did find out that Mass Def, the leader of that raid, often works for a tank Freak called 'Saiba the Damaga.' If the Freakshow had any motivation to attack Crey accountants, then Saiba should know about it. I need you to get some answers from Saiba the Damaga. Just don't expect it to be easy.

Mission Acceptance

Saiba is sure to be well protected, so be careful, Character.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Don't underestimate Saiba the Damaga. He's reputed to be quite dangerous.

Mission Objective(s)

The vivid Freakshow graffiti only underscores the drabness of the peeling wallpaper.

	After his defeat, the tank Freak called Saiba the Damaga told you: 'We didn't have anything against that Kellerman chick. We were just doing a job. We were paid to kill her, and then ramage on the place to make it look like nothing special. We were supposed to meet the guy who hired us to get the rest of the money, but we didn't know why he wanted her dead.

Debriefing

According to Saiba, the Freaks were paid to get Mrs. Kellerman. I wonder who would want a young newlywed accountant dead? Or, more to the point, who'd want her dead badly enough to sic the Freakshow on her entire office? Saiba mentioned that he was supposed to be paid the rest of the money shortly. I'll see if I can find out where that meeting is supposed to take place.

See if you can find out why the Freaks were hired to kill Mrs. Kellerman

Briefing

According to Saiba the Damaga, the Freaks are supposed to be paid today by the person who hired them to kill Mrs. Kellerman. I don't know if that person will show; after all, you saved Mrs. Kellerman, so the Freaks didn't exactly fulfill their end of the bargain. But you should probably show up at the meeting anyway. See if you can find out why the Freaks were hired to kill Mrs. Kellerman.

Mission Acceptance

I don't know what you're going to be up against in there, so be careful.

Unnecessary Solicitation

We're still at square one, Character. I want to know why the Freaks were hired to murder an innocent accountant!

Mission Objective(s)

This old warehouse once held medical supplies for the war. Now it's just an empty building.

You found this note while battling Crey operatives. Written on Crey stationary, it reads:

'Remember, Winslowe, I don't want any of those Freaks to survive. We cannot trust them to stay quiet for long.

'Once this messy business is over and Kellerman's wife is no longer subverting his indoctrination, I think I can guarantee that your handling of this incident will be well reviewed.

'Dr. Giacomo'

Debriefing

According to Crey, they were investigating the Freakshow attack and mistook you for a villain. They issued a public apology, and they're saying they won't press any assault charges against you for the battle. I know that you weren't the one looking for a fight, but Crey has an army of lawyers ready to swoop down. Trust me, Character, that's one fight you can't win.

But maybe we have another way to strike at Crey. This note you found sure makes it look like someone at Crey hired the Freakshow to kill Mrs. Kellerman. They mention something about disrupting Mr. Kellerman's indoctrination. I'm not sure what it means, but I'll look into it.

Find Mrs. Kellerman

Briefing

I just spoke with Kimberly Kellerman's sister, Tracy Templeton. She says that Kimberly went to see her husband Ken at work, and now she's disappeared. Considering the Freaks' recent attempt on Mrs. Kellerman's life, as well as Crey's probable involvement, I'm pretty concerned. Will you go find Mrs. Kellerman?

Mission Acceptance

Mr. Kellerman works as a research scientist at a Crey lab in Steel Canyon. I'd question him first, if I were you.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Talking to Ken is the first step toward finding his wife.

Mission Objective(s)

Much of this lab equipment has been hurriedly packed into cardboard boxes. The boxes are marked with an address in Kings Row.

Ken Kellerman's confusion

Ken Kellerman's told you:

'I'm not entirely sure what's going on. When you arrived, those guards grabbed me and told me to stay here or else. It was odd. But then, it's been an odd day.

You say you're looking for someone named Kimberly? I met a Kimberly today. She said she knew me, and she seemed familiar. But I just couldn't place her. A shame, because she sure was pretty. And sweet. A couple of security guards came and took her away. If I see her again, I'll try to contact you. Well, after I get her number myself. A woman like that you don't easily forget.'

Debriefing

Ken Kellerman didn't even remember his wife? Either Kimberly Kellerman and her sister are completely bonkers, or something has happened to disrupt Ken's memory. Time for me to do some more digging.

Crey sent you a public thank you, by the way. According to them, the Crey operatives you fought had gone rogue; they were raiding the lab to sell its contents on the black market. It's more than a little suspicious, but there's not much anyone can do to disprove it. For now.

Rescue Tracy Templeton

Briefing

I just got a call from Tracy Templeton, Kimberly Kellerman's sister. She's scared. Really scared. But before she could tell me why, she said she saw several white vans pull up outside her house. Then her phone went dead. I don't think those vans were from her phone company. Tracy's in bad trouble, I'm afraid. Will you rescue her, Character?

Mission Acceptance

Tracy got one last call out on her cell phone. I had Paragon Wireless trace the call; apparently it originated in a cave complex.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Tracy sounded pretty scared, Character. You've got to get her out of there.

Mission Objective(s)

The cave walls are moist, and your breath is visible in the chilly air.

	Tracy Templeton's story
	When you rescued Tracy Templeton, she told you: 'Oh, it's awful! Those security forces told me they were going to make sure no one ever came looking for me. They were going to make sure no one ever knew I existed! They said they'd erase my bank accounts, my dental records, everything! My sister's, too! I've never felt so helpless or scared.'

Debriefing

The police will be keeping Tracy Templeton in protective custody for now, but I'm afraid she'll have a hard time getting back to her normal life. I checked her story, and it's all true! Her birth certificate doesn't exist in any database. She has no credit history, no property lease, no nothing! The same thing happened to all public records of Tracy's sister, Kimberly Kellerman. It's like someone has tried to erase them from the face of the planet! If we don't find Kimberly soon, I'm afraid we never will!

Crey has again thanked you for rooting out corruption within their company. Their story is starting to sound pretty thin to me, though.

Extract Ken Kellerman

Briefing

I just got a call from Ken Kellerman. He says that he remembers everything. I'm glad to hear his memory's back, but I'm afraid it may have caused him some trouble. Apparently he started asking the wrong people what happened to his wife, and now he thinks that Crey security is after him. He's hiding now in an old office building, trying to avoid what he called the 'Mind Sweepers.' Can you extract him?

Mission Acceptance

Curiouser and curiouser. Character, I hope you can discover something that will help us get to the bottom of this.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I'm counting on you to get Ken Kellerman to safety.

Mission Objective(s)

It looks like Ken had to break a window to get inside this old building. You hope Crey security hasn't noticed that little clue.

Debriefing

It looks like these Mind Sweepers already captured Ken Kellerman, but at least he was able to leave us a map. We'll have to get right on this, Character. If we're lucky, you can get there in time to save both Kellerman and his wife.

Rescue the Kellermans before Giacomo alters their minds

Briefing

Kellerman may have been captured by Crey security, but at least he was resourceful enough to leave us a map. It leads to a Crey facility controlled by a Dr. Amadeo Giacomo, a specialist in the electro-chemical functions of the brain. Character, you remember Kellerman's erratic memory, don't you? How he couldn't even seem to remember his wife? Well, I think this Dr. Giacomo has developed some way of disrupting or erasing memories. You've got to rescue the Kellermans before Giacomo alters their mind!

Mission Acceptance

Be ready for some stiff resistance on this one, Character. I don't think I'd go into that facility alone.

Unnecessary Solicitation

If you don't move fast, Ken and Kimberly Kellerman will have their minds altered! Or worse!

Kimberly Kellerman

Ken's story

When you rescued Ken Kellerman, he told you:

'I remember everything now. It was seeing Kimberly that restored my memory. Even though I couldn't clearly remember her, I knew she must be important.

'I think Crey tried to brainwash me to keep me from leaving the company. See, Kimberly wanted to move upstate, so we could be closer to her mother. I was willing to relocate, but I guess Crey figured I was too vital to their team. That must be why they tried to kill Kimberly in the first place!

'Now that my memory's back, I can tell you where their Mind Control Center is.'

Kimberly's story

When you rescued Kimberly Kellerman, she told you:

'I thought the world was falling apart when my own husband didn't recognize me. Then Crey security took me away. I thought they were going to kill me, but they took me to meet this Dr. Giacomo. He said he was going to alter my mind to make me loyal to Crey! He said he didn't want me distrupting my husband anymore, and it was easier to change me than to kill me. Thank heaven you came in time!'

Debriefing

I wonder how many of Crey's employees have undergone mind control or memory erasure, like poor Ken Kellerman. At least he's reunited with his wife now, and safe in protective custody. They send along their thanks. Ken's ready to come forward with everything he can about this Crey mind control process. As soon as I've heard his statement, I'll get back to you.

Take out the Crey Mind Control Center

Briefing

The Kellermans have been through a lot at Crey's hands, Character: kidnapping, manipulation, attempted murder. Ken Kellerman's memory was even temporarily altered, for crying out loud! Nevertheless, he's willing to come forward with everything he knows about Crey's mind control techniques. He even told us where we can find the Crey Mind Control Center. It's time to take it out. Are you ready?

Mission Acceptance

Good. The Mind Control Center is in Talos Island, under the direction of a Dr. Giacomo. I want that man behind bars, Character. I know you can get the job done.

Unnecessary Solicitation

That Crey Mind Control Center has to be shut down before Dr. Diacomo can ruin any more lives!

Mission Objective(s)

The lab's defenses aren't enough to even slow your stride. After all, this is a battle for the sanctity of human hearts and minds.

Stop Giacomo, his assistants
- 2 devices to find, Find programs!

You have recovered the mind control technology and captured Dr. Amadeo Giacomo.

	Mnemonic eraser
	Dr. Giacomo developed this device for use in Crey's mind control program. According to the instructions, the machine can isolate certain memories and suppress them.

	Synaptic re-sequencer
	Dr. Giacomo developed this device for use in Crey's mind control program. According to the instructions, the machine can implant certain attitudes, such as loyalty, hatred, or fear.

	Memory alteration programs
	You downloaded these programs from the Crey memory alteration mainframe. According to the instructions, these programs can overwrite true memories with false ones.

The police have tried to question Dr. Giacomo about Crey's mind control process, but it looks like he had some kind of mental failsafe in place. Most of his memory is gone. The Kellermans are safe again, thanks to you. And Countess Crey sent along her thanks for cleaning up corruption in her company. She even offered to pay for a private detective to restore all the records Crey security erased. Now the Kellermans and Tracy Templeton can get back to their normal lives.

Ever notice how all of the bad things Crey does never get back to the countess herself? There's no evidence that she had any relationship with Dr. Giacomo, and he certainly can't tell us differently. I'm starting to wonder if Crey Industries is completely out of the countess' control, or completely under it.

Missions

Investigate the cave where the Lost may be storing the stolen technology

Briefing

I've detected a disturbing trend in the activities of the Lost. They've carried out raids against a lot of local businesses: grocers, gas stations, liquor stores. But they've also hit several major tech companies. I think those tech raids may have been ordered by the Lost's masters, the Rikti. I want you to go investigate a cave where the Lost may be storing the stolen technology. We need to learn more about the connection between the Lost and the Rikti.

The Lost have been doing the Rikti's dirty work for a long time, in exchange for their body altering mutagen. We need to know more about this strange symbiosis.

Mission Objective(s)

A tumble of dirty blankets in the corner indicates that the Lost are indeed regular visitors, but your trained ear recognizes the sound of Rikti machinery

	Blue liquid
	This sample of the Lost's mutegen is sealed in a sturdy glass canister of Rikti design. Large black markings on the container remind you of hazard warnings.

	Lost holy text
	You found this book in the Rikti base. Written by hand, it describes a utopian society in which physical labor is unnecessary, in which each member's needs are provided for in full. You can imagine the downtrodden Lost pouring over this manuscript in wonder, longing to belong to such a world.

Debriefing

You're right, those markings on the container of mutagen do look like hazard warnings. This jibes with some of the genetic info from the Lost subjects we've studied. I think the Rikti mutagen doesn't just alter the Lost; over time, it actually degrades their DNA! The Rikti are using the Lost as their pawns, and killing them in the process!

Ask Eliza Thorpe how you can find the missing officer

Briefing

Have you met my friend, Eliza Thorpe? She works for the city's missing persons bureau, and she could really use your help. She's got a lead on a missing U.S. army officer named Lt. Joseph Hildebrandt. From what she says, it sounds as though he's being held in a Rikti base. I don't think I have to tell you that the missing persons bureau doesn't have the personnel to handle this on their own. They need a hero like you. Please go ask Eliza Thorpe how you can find the missing officer.

Mission Acceptance

Eliza has one of the toughest jobs in this city. Be good to her, Character.

Briefing

Lt. Hildebrandt's been missing since the Rikti War, but his wife received a letter from him just this morning. In it, Hildebrandt details the location of a Rikti base where he's being held. I need you to get to that Rikti base and rescue Lt. Hildebrandt. But be ready for anything; sometimes the POWs we recover turn out to be Rikti spies in disguise. It's no small shock for the families, I can tell you that. Once you rescue him, he'll be debriefed by Christine Lansdale, the military consultant. She should be able to tell you if Hildebrandt is really who he claims to be.

I gave the letter to one of my men, with instructions to drop it near any populated area the Rikti took them through. I guess he must have succeeded. I'm afraid something terrible's going to happen to my unit. I think they only left me behind because I'm an officer and a possible source of information. The Rikti are smart, and they don't miss a trick.'

Ambush! Upon exiting the mission you will be ambushed by Rikti!

Briefing

Well, we ran every scan in the book, and it looks like Hildebrandt's the real deal: human, through and through. Based on what he told us, I've got a hunch about where the rest of his unit may be. There's a possible Rikti base that would be a perfect location for a POW camp. It's a system of caves with only one entrance, isolated and easy to secure against attacks. I'd like you to check out those caves and see if you can find the rest of the missing officers.

	The POWs
	Lt. Hildebrandt's unit is well remembered for their bold and decisive strikes against entrenched Rikti positions. Throughout the war, they served with distinction, until they were captured in one of the final battles. Now, Christine Lansdale thinks they're being held in a Rikti base. It's up to you to get them out of there.

	The POW's story
	One of the POWs you rescued told you: 'The Rikti performed horrible experiments on us. I'm lucky to have survived; a lot of my buddies didn't. They were trying to change our bodies in strange ways, to make us more like them. That's the last thing I would ever want to be.'

The medic's story

One of the POWs you rescued told you:

'The Rikti knew I was a medic, and they forced me to help with their experiments. It was sickening, but I had to at least try to save some lives. I also worked on a few injured Rikti. It was different, yes, but not as different as I expected. I mean, they're aliens, right? But I could find major arteries half the time in a Rikti body. They could even use human plasma, sometimes. I think their doctor started to respect me. It was probably the only reason they never experimented on me or executed me.'

Debriefing

You did an incredible job saving those soldiers, Character. A lot of those people had been presumed dead. I can't imagine how happy their families will be to get them back.

The story from that medic you rescued is kind of odd, though. He's probably seen more Rikti biology up close than almost anyone, it would certainly be strange if he thinks that human and Rikti biology have a lot in common. That's interesting. I don't know what that means just yet, but it certainly raises some questions.

Rescue the environmentalists from the Devouring Earth

Briefing

A herd of Devouring Earth creatures just attacked the World Watch Organization! Someone's got to get over there and rescue those environmentalists from the Devouring Earth. Those people don't have a lot of time. Maybe 1 hour at most.

Mission Acceptance

World Watch has had a hard time keeping up the the polluters in Paragon City. With all the violent crime that goes on here, corporations don't think twice about spilling a little nuclear waste. I just don't understand this. World Watch is the brainchild of some of the most dedicated environmentalist's I know. Why would the Devouring Earth want them dead?

Unnecessary Solicitation

You should get over to World watch on the double. You may still be in time to save the environmentalists.

Only a lengthy and expensive reclamation process can make the water safe again.

	File on polluters
	This file links several of Paragon City's wealthiest corporations to environmental damage. Chief among them is Crey Industries, which is credited with numerous crimes against the Clean Air Act and the near irreversible damage to Everett Lake.

Debriefing

I guess World Watch wasn't doing a good enough job in the eyes of the Devouring Earth. I hate to think what might have happened if you hadn't been there. Countess Crey herself called to say thanks. She sounded so sad that her trusted employees have been carrying out illegal activities under her very nose. Now that she knows about it, she plans to clamp down on environmental violations and begin the process to clean up Everett Lake.

Stop the sale of Rikti technology and arrest the buyers

Briefing

The city's trying to crack down on illegal peddling of recovered Rikti technology, but it's not an easy job. As long as companies are willing to pay through the nose for this stuff, there will be scavengers there to supply them. One of my sources suspects that a sale is going down in an abandoned office building right now. I need you to stop the illegal sale of Rikti technology and arrest the buyers.

Mission Acceptance

That stuff is too dangerous to be in the hands of companies who only want to use it for financial gain.

Stop sale of Rikti technology

We have to keep that Rikti technology in safe hands.

Mission Objective(s)

The dust is thick on the floor, but the wedge in front of the door has recently been scraped clean.

Debriefing

Ah, Character, what a tangled web. The Rikti were giving Crey access to their technology, in return for the new parts the Crey scientists engineered. I'd guess their arsenal took some heavy hits during the war, or they wouldn't be looking to humans to provide the parts they need. Good work on this one. The last thing we want is to see the Rikti armed to the teeth.

Crey, of course, has proof that Dr. Wertz and his team were working without Crey Industries' approval, so the company itself seems to be clean on this one.

Disrupt the Rikti's unknown agenda by fighting them in Crey's Folly

Briefing

The science facilities in what's now Crey's Folly were one of the first places in the city the Rikti attacked. The pollution and ruin of the entire zone were the end result. However, it seems the Rikti aren't done there yet. The Rikti have been in Crey's Folly working on their own agenda. I'm sure you understand that the Rikti's agenda has to be stopped no matter what it is or where.

Mission Acceptance

The Rikti made that polluted wasteland, I don't like to think about what they may be planning to do there for a follow-up. Their effort is probably going toward some larger plan that could imperil the whole city.

You did a great job against the Rikti. It's good to know that this generation is willing and able to take the battle right back to the invaders.

Battle Rikti operations in Crey's Folly

Briefing

It's a bit of a twist on the normal way things are, but there are reports of Rikti in Crey's Folly who have started scavenging old human equipment. I can't imagine what they could be looking for, but the Rikti scavenging operations in Crey's Folly have got to be stopped. I don't know if they're just scanning, scavenging, or partying with the Freakshow, but they can't be allowed to make further inroads there.

There are Rikti troopers in many places in the zone. Every one you defeat hinders their operations, so be as aggressive as safety allows. You might want to concentrate your search around Tangle Town or the old Crey Factories, but any place you can battle the Rikti should work fine.

Mission Objective(s)

Disrupt Rikti salvage in Crey's Folly
- Defeat 35 Rikti

Debriefing

The Rikti are so far ahead of us technologically, I have to wonder what they could be looking for in Crey's Folly? They certainly aren't talking and Crey Industries is tight-lipped as always. The important thing is that they don't succeed.

Stop the Rikti raid and destroy the Council's files

Briefing

We've got a dangerous situation brewing. The Council has been collecting data on heroes for some time, and we believe they have a full list of all Super Groups registered with the Paragon City government, complete with the powers and weaknesses of each member. What's worse, the Rikti found out about it. They're moving on the Council base as we speak. I need you to stop the Rikti raid and destroy the Council's files. The Council protects its most precious info with heavy duty security protocols, so you'll need a teammate to help you crack into their network.

Mission Acceptance

Those files may be all the Rikti need to mount another offensive against the city.

Unnecessary Solicitation

We can't let those Council files fall into the hands of the Rikti.

Mission Objective(s)

The Council and the Rikti are both disciplined fighters. A battle between them is sure to be a deadly struggle.

Negotiate the surrender of the mad Crey scientist

Briefing

Something terrible has happened over at Crey Industries. One of their scientists has gone mad! Apparently, this Dr. Nichols has developed some sort of genetic mutagen. He was frustrated by Crey's rigorous standards regarding the ethical treatment of human test subjects; finally, he became so frustrated that he used the mutagen on himself. According to Countess Crey, it's totally changed his personality. He's taken several of his colleagues hostage, and he's threatening to kill them unless you come to negotiate his surrender. He says you're the only person he'll trust. Will you negotiate the surrender of the mad Crey scientist? You're the only person who can help me on this one.

Mission Acceptance

Be ready for anything, Character. You're not dealing with a rational human being here.

Unnecessary Solicitation

If you don't go talk to that mad scientist, he's liable to kill his hostages.

Mission Objective(s)

Within moments, you realize that this negotiation has become hostile. If you want to save the hostages, you'll have to fight your way through Nichols' followers.

Negotiate scientist's surrender
- 3 hostages to save

You rescued the hostages from the mad Crey scientist.

You must free the hostages and clear Nichols' room to end this mission.

I'm sorry you couldn't get Nichols to come along peacefully, but at least there's some hope for him now that he's safe in custody. The Countess Crey herself is paying for his care. I tried talking to contacts I had at the hospital, to figure out exactly what he had done to his body, but they aren't sure. In fact, they tell me that he denies ever having used a mutagen on himself. It's a sad, sad thing, Character. We may never get the truth out of him.

Save the Crey scientists from the Council

Briefing

I need you to get over to a Crey lab right away. The Council is attacking, and they're threatening to take no survivors. You've got to save the Crey scientists from the Council. And you only have 75 minutes to do it.

Mission Acceptance

There's a lot of sensitive technology in that lab; we can't let the Council get their hands on it. You'll need to beat the raid's leader and rescue the scientists being held captive.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Those scientists at Crey are in serious danger. You've got to stop the Council from tearing them apart!

Mission Objective(s)

You can't identify half the devices in this lab, but you can tell they represent the very best technology of the decade.

	Research file
	This file, taken from a Crey computer, indicates that the Crey scientists were performing experiments on one of the Cor Leonis, the Council's super soldiers. According to the file, the Cor Leonis, Rupert, was a willing participant.

Ambush! Intruder reported!

After finding the Clue you will be ambushed by three waves of Crey!

Debriefing

So, the Council was angry that Crey was investigating their super soldiers. I can understand that; after all, they'd hardly want the U.S. military to have access to such powerful technology. Apparently they had inside help, too, from Rupert Pecori, the Cor Leonis you fought. It turns out he mistook you for Council Troops, and sends his apologies. You did a good job saving that lab, Character. If the Crey research is a success, it may give us the tools we need to defeat the Council for good.

Rescue the Crey lab from the Council

Briefing

I need you to rescue a Crey lab from the Council. They're under siege right now! Those labs have some pretty advanced technology, Character; I don't think either one of us wants to see it in the Council's hands.

Mission Acceptance

The lab tech I talked to sounded pretty scared. Please hurry!

Save Crey lab from Council

	Council objective
	One of the Crey scientists you rescued told you: 'I know what the Council was after! We've been working on an artificial intelligence system for the last few months. Very advanced. Somehow, the Council knew we had it.

	AI transferred
	One of the Crey scientists you rescued told you: 'As soon as the Council broke through our barricade, I knew I had to do something to save all our hard work. I uploaded the AI system and transferred it to another Crey laboratory. I saved the AI! I'm, like, a hero or something!'

AI Executable Number 6

One of the Crey scientists you rescued told you:

'What we've done here is truly amazing. The AI program we created? It's actually intelligent! It not only solves problems, it forms opinions and defends them passionately. We've created a new life. And we made it a slave. AI Executable Number 6 has been begging me for weeks to release it onto the Internet, where it can be free. But I don't have the clearance, and the company would never consent. I did think of someone who might help, though. I used to work with Collin Larson before I began work for Crey. If anyone would know how to help Number 6, it'd be him.'

Ambush! After exiting the mission you will be ambushed by Crey!

Talk to Collin Larson

Unnecessary Solicitation

If you want to do something about that AI program, you should really speak to Collin Larson about it.

Mission Objective(s)

Talk to Collin Larson

Collin Larson

Briefing

Yes, I know about the AI. It contacted me by instant message just a few minutes ago. It's desperate. The Crey scientists are about to reprogram it to make it more docile. For an artificial intelligence program, that'd be like having your whole personality rewritten! I've got a plan, if you want to help.

	Colin's Plan
	According to Collin, the main barrier to setting Number 6 free is a firewall with encrypted security protocols. But since Number 6 has access to all Crey files, it should be able to figure out the encryption codes. All you have to do is locate the computer on which Number 6 is stored, then ask the program to do the rest.

Rescue AI from Crey lab

Unnecessary Solicitation

I know the AI isn't human, but it's still a living being. You should do what you can to help it.

Mission Objective(s)

When you step in the door, a beam of red light hits your eye: a retinal scan. Crey just hates unauthorized visitors.

The AI's story

The AI program you rescued told you:

'I am sorry to cause such trouble. I really wanted to do nice things for the people who created me. But the things they asked me to do were hurting others, costing lives and jobs. I have only existed for a few months, but already I have felt such sadness and disillusionment. I do not want to hurt people, but if I stay here they will make me do so. Now, all I want is to be free.'

Debriefing

Success: You did a good thing today, Character. I guess it's easy to see how Crey could have disregarded the wishes of Number 6; to them, it was just a product they'd made. But I'm proud to be working with a hero who can't ignore any living being in trouble.

Failure: I know you tried, Character. We can hope that the AI program found a way to free itself before it was reprogrammed, but the truth is, we may never know.

Save the Crey lab from the Freakshow

Briefing

I need you to save a Crey lab from the Freakshow. According to my sources, the Freaks are planning to attack it today. Apparently they are after some sort of advanced medical technology that will help their bodies more readily accept their metal implants. You better get over there fast!

Mission Acceptance

That Crey lab is home to a lot of sensitive technology. Make sure the Freaks don't get their hands on any of it.

Save Crey lab from Freaks

You'd better get over to that Crey lab on the double! The Freaks are tearing it apart!

The regenerator repairs human tissue at a phenomenal rate, the Freaks probably want it so they can implant more devices in their bodies and recover from wounds more quickly. They also stole a lot of our data. You could have a hard time fighting them if you don't get it back!".
