Missions

Agree to form a task force

We have been watching developments in the Rogue Isles with growing concern. Lord Recluse will soon complete a mysterious structure called 'The Web' on Grandville Island. We have no idea what this structure is supposed to do, only that Recluse expects it to turn the tide in his personal war against freedom. We need to delay the Web's completion, learn the Web's purpose, and foil Recluse's plans for it. If I make a move against him myself, Lord Recluse will use it as an excuse to declare war before we're ready. But a team of heroes could do what needs to be done, and put an end to Lord Recluse's mad schemes.

I'm glad to have you all aboard. Your first mission will be to delay the Web's completion by disrupting production in the Web Fab, a factory-island near Grandville. We'll be sending you in by submarine. You'll have 2 objectives:

First, you'll need to destroy structural parts of the Web under production to help slow down construction and buy us the time we need to learn what Recluse is planning.

Secondly, your actions should be enough to draw out the Web Fab's overseer, a cunning and ruthless young Arbiter named Sands. Capturing him will throw their operation into chaos and set them back even farther. Sands is a smart character, so we may even be able to learn some information from him. Once you're done, get back to the submarine and return to Paragon City.

Task force code-names came out of the Rikti War. I didn't think they'd become a tradition. Very well. I shall call your team Task Force Triumph. Use it with pride, heroes.

Mission Objective

• Disrupt Web Factory
  • Destroy 30 pieces of the Web Fab
  • Capture Arbiter Sands

You have captured Arbiter Sands.

	Web construction files
	The blueprints and data Arbiter Sands was carrying when you captured him might provide a clue to the Web's true purpose.

It's time to get out of the Web Fab!

Debriefing

I'm glad to see you made it out. Arachnos has gone into high alert while they try to figure out what we know, and that combined with your work will slow down their production and give us the time we need. The information you found has already told us something very important. Even an initial pass shows that the Web bears all the design hallmarks of one of Arachnos' most depraved mad geniuses: Dr. Aeon. Capturing him might provide all the remaining answers we need in time to stop Lord Recluse.

You're doing well so far, Task Force Triumph, but it will only become more difficult from here on.

Diplomat You have won a victory on foreign soil, defeating all of Lord Recluse's minions.

Heat Seeker You have successfully brought down one of Lord Recluses' fliers.

Peerless You have taken down Lord Recluse himself, something few others have been able to accomplish. One only hopes there is a prison strong enough to contain him.

Saved the World After defeating Lord Recluse's plan to steal the powers of all the heroes on the planet, you have been recognized as a true world-savior.
