Mission:To Something Greater - Part Three: Coming Together

Part Three: Coming Together

Briefing

We're all set to bring this thing to an end, Character. Vanguard has talked with a US Naval Fleet that's in the area near Wade's island.

We're planning an all out assault on the area. The first fleet has gone forward to begin the attack on the island, but they've reported information that's going to make this a little harder than we thought.

What information is that?

There's some sort of intense power fluctuations within the area, which makes flying a no-go. Anything in the air would get tossed about like a ragdoll by the huge forces that are in the air.

The only way to get to Wade's island is by a boat.

We're going to have Vanguard airlift you over to one of the farthest vessels and take you from there. Oh, I should also mention that you're not going alone.

Lord Recluse, Captain Mako, Penelope Yin, Numina, Ms. Liberty, and Gaussian will be going there with you. Gaussian will be in charge of maintaining the ship. Recluse insisted on going along to finish off Wade himself, so you may run into some issues there. I'd keep my eye on Captain Mako; he'll have a huge advantage being in the ocean.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Good luck, Character.

Mission Objective(s)

Map: IOM_PACIFIC_OCEAN_ISLAND

You stepped off the Vanguard helicopter and into the ship. After spending a few hours wandering around, you return to the main area of the deck, waiting for information about Wade's island.

- Get topside to see the disturbance
- Ascend to the USS Barry
- Retrieve the USS Barry's computer data

Penelope Yin

Briefing

Hero

Character! Hey! This is pretty crazy, isn't it? I mean, all these mix of people here going to fight Darrin Wade! Jim and Nette are gonna be SO jealous that I got to come along!

I'm gonna do my best to take down Wade, you can count on it! I've been practicing a lot with Numina, now that Sister Psyche is...

Ah, sorry. But, we've been practicing this really neat trick, it's like a protective barrier. Right now it, well, it still sort of lets enemies inside. But! But, it can block beams of energy! So if Wade tries to zap us down, you can count on me and Numina!

Good to know.

Villain

Don't think I haven't forgotten you, Character. You're lucky I've been told to act nice, or I'd, well, I'd do something about you attacking me in Portal Corp, that's for sure!

You better just keep walking, because I don't associate with villains!

Whatever you say.

Ms. Liberty

Briefing

Hero - ???

Hey, Character. I don't think I ever got the chance to thank you for all your help in trying to save my mother. I've been so busy trying to track down Wade and... well, many other things, that I never thanked you.

I still think about her every day, but I know that nothing can be done now except making sure that Darrin Wade is brought to justice.

We're going to make sure that he pays for everything he's done; for my mother, for my grandfather, for Sister Psyche... he won't get away with this.

I promise he won’t Liberty.

Hero - ???

Ms. Liberty seems to be in the middle of a thought. As you step towards her, she shakes her head, looking over towards you.

Sorry, Character, I was... just lost in thought. I have a lot on my mind... after all, it seems like I'm the last of the 'Cole' line, aren't I? Grandfather is gone... mother is gone...

Look... we're going to make sure that Darrin Wade pays for everything he's done; for my mother, for my grandfather, for Sister Psyche... he won't get away with any of this.

I know he won't, Liberty.

Villain

Ms. Liberty remains silent, glaring at you.

Numina

Briefing

Hero - ???

Ah, Character, it's great to see you again. My father extends his thanks for saving his... well, I suppose it's a little silly to say life, but I'll say it anyway. I won't ever forget how much you've done to help my family, I promise you that.

Have you spoken with Penelope Yin? She's come a long way since her time in Faultline. I believe her presence here will be a great help. We'll need everything we can get if we're to stop Darrin Wade... and the Phalanx, to be honest, is still shattered after losing both Psyche and Statesman.

Understandable.

Hero - ???

Hello, Character. Have you spoken with Penelope Yin? She's come a long way since her time in Faultline. I believe her presence here will be a great help. We'll need everything we can get if we're to stop Darrin Wade... and the Phalanx, to be honest, is still shattered after losing both Psyche and Statesman.

Let's hope so.

Villain

Numina remains silent when you walk over to her. She still hasn't forgotten your involvement in her father's kidnapping, it seems.

Captain Mako

Briefing

Bug off, I got nothing to say to you.

Recluse

Briefing

Hero - Have completed Who Will Die: Episode 5

Character. So, you're the one who saw Marcus when he died.

This alliance does not signify a change of heart on my end. Darrin Wade is a threat too large to ignore. Understand this, Character. I have been trying most of my life to destroy Statesman. Wade has done what I could not, and this demands retaliation.

Wade's destruction by my hand is inevitable. Do not get in my way when the time comes.

We'll see about that, Recluse.

Hero - Have not completed Who Will Die: Episode 5

Character. You should know that this alliance does not signify a change of heart on my end. Darrin Wade is a threat too large to ignore. Understand this, Character. I have been trying most of my life to destroy Statesman. Wade has done what I could not, and this demands retaliation.

Wade's destruction by my hand is inevitable. Do not get in my way when the time comes.

We'll see about that.

Villain

A villain through and through, Character. I had Arachnos investigate the scene to see how much you had to do with Statesman's death. They confirmed that Wade was the one who killed him, while you were the one who fought off Wade.

I could say the same to you, Recluse.

Computer

Briefing

The computer connects you to the captain of the ship.

Character, we've got some odd readings that we're looking into. Something... definitely isn't right. We're getting -

What in the...

What is it?

We need you all up on the deck, NOW! Something VERY wrong is happening! Gaussian is getting to work on scanning what exactly is going up there.

Topside Dialogue

Hero

Gaussian here, I'm getting some extremely odd readings from that floating island.

Lord Recluse: Mako, go recover any information from those submerged boats.

Captain Mako: Yeah, I got it boss. Don't go sailing off without me.

Ms. Liberty: We need to save whoever is left on those boats!

I'm not getting any signs of -human- life on those boats, Ms. Liberty.

Penelope Yin: We can't just sit here and do nothing!

If we can access the computer on the SS Barry, we can find out what they discovered about the island.
However, the Barry is the highest ship on that pile, and I'm getting some readings of energy building up on that island.

Lord Recluse: Character must go recover the data. The rest of us need to defend this vessel at all costs.

Penelope Yin: Oh, sure, throw Character to the sharks! Why don't you get Captain Mako to give her a hand?!

Lord Recluse: Captain Mako is busy collecting data on the submerged ships, and Character, as much as I hate to admit, is more than capable of this.

Penelope Yin: ... Hrmph. Okay, well, Character, be careful! We've got your back on this ship!

Lord Recluse: We must rely on Character to get the data, while we defend the vessel.

Numina: No, I will go up there, I do not trust Character in the slightest!

Lord Recluse: Be my guest, but do you know what that magic could do to a ghost, my dear Numina?

Numina: ...

Lord Recluse: Neither do I. Character, you have the spotlight, for now.

The Fate of the USS Barry

You looked through the Barry's computer system and found data regarding its final moments. The Barry was the first to spot Wade's floating island and ordered everyone in the fleet to open fire.

They reported that nothing in their arsenal was able to destroy the shield surrounding the island, noting that it would take a large amount of high-powered missiles to begin to break through the shield.

Afterwards, energy signatures spiked in the area as other ships in the fleet were lifted out of the water as if they were toys.

Members of the crew began to instantly evaporate until there was no one left in any of the ships.

Editor's Note:

Upon returning to the USS Ross, the "Stop Darrin Wade's Ascension" phase begins. Event box reads as follows:
Survive Darrin Wade's Apocalypse Beam!
Penelope Yin's psychic barrier will protect you!

Next Apocalypse Beam In: 0:30

Defending the USS Ross

Debriefing

This is worse than we imagined, Character. Darrin Wade was able to take out an entire fleet with the power he has on that, well, now floating island. Penelope Yin and Numina are currently recovering from trying to block Darrin Wade's attacks on the ship.

From what we can tell, Wade's island is starting to ascend higher into space. He must be planning on using it as the stage to summon Rularuu into this world! But we just have one problem... how are we going to get past that shield? We'd need an entire city's worth of fire power to...

Wait! I know!
