Story Arc Notes

This story arc may start with either the Check out the warehouse in Steel Canyon mission or the Pick up the Tsoo data from Juliana Nehring mission.

Check out the warehouse in Steel Canyon

Briefing

Good day. I am hearing some troubling rumors today. Could you check out a warehouse in Steel Canyon for me? There have been reports of high-ranking Tsoo going in an out of there for days.

I have the feeling the Tsoo are planning something big. Please see what you can find out.

Mission Objective(s)

The scorch marks and patches of frost on the walls mark this building as an Outcasts hangout.

• Bust gang leaders, their crews
  • Search for clues

You defeated the villains and recovered an artifact.

	Statue of falcon
	While fighting the Outcasts, you recovered this bronze statue of a screaming falcon. It seemed that the Tsoo were trying to sell it to the Outcasts, though you don't know what they expected in return.

Notable NPCs

• Hurricane (Outcasts Lead Shocker)
• Mr. Ting (Tsoo Dragon Fly)

Enemies
Outcasts

Tsoo

Debriefing

That statue you found is exactly the kind of artifact the Outcasts crave. It may be that the Tsoo were trying to sell it to them. Now, if we only knew what they wanted in return.

Pick up the Tsoo data from Juliana Nehring

Briefing

Hey there. I've got a pretty simple task for you today. My friend Juliana Nehring has some info on the Tsoo that I would very much like to hear. Trouble is, she's kind of paranoid about using normal channels. Could you go pick up the Tsoo data from Juliana? I know I can count on you to keep it safe.

Thanks a lot; this will set Juliana's mind at ease.

Mission Objective(s)

• Get Tsoo info from Juliana

Briefing: Juliana Nehring

I'm so glad StoryArc The Tsoo Shenanigans sent you. My sources tell me that the Trolls have been meeting secretly with the Tsoo. In fact, I just got word that some Tsoo were seen entering a Troll-occupied office building not far from here. I think you should go check it out.

	Conversation with Juliana Nehring
	Juliana Nehring told you, 'My sources tell me that the Trolls have been meeting secretly with the Tsoo. In fact, I just got word that some Tsoo were seen entering a Troll-occupied office building not far from here. I think you should go check it out.'

Mission Objective(s)

This seems like an ordinary office building, but the unnatural hush tells you that no legitimate business is being conducted here.

• Bust gang leaders, their crews
  • 3 office workers to rescue

On one of the defeated Tsoo, you found a drug ampoule.

	Drug ampoule
	You found this ampoule on a defeated Tsoo, in an office that had been taken over by the Trolls. The white skull logo indicates that it is probably Superadine.

Notable NPCs

• 3 Office workers (Hostages)
• Mr. Mann (Tsoo Dragon Fly)
• Torvald (Trolls Caliban)

Enemies
Trolls

Tsoo

Debriefing

Thanks for taking on the Tsoo and the Trolls. This ampoule you found probably contains Superadine, but I'll check it out to make sure.

I have a bad feeling that the Tsoo are planning something big. We need to look further into their meetings with the Outcasts and the Trolls.

Take drug ampoule to Wyatt Anderson

Briefing

I got a call about that drug ampoule you found at the meeting between the Trolls and the Tsoo. My friend Wyatt Anderson is pretty interested in seeing it for himself. Would you take the drug ampoule over to Wyatt?

I'm still trying to learn more about that artifact the Tsoo were trying to sell to the Outcasts. The minute I hear anything, I'll let you know.

Mission Objective(s)

• Take drug to Wyatt Anderson

Briefing: Wyatt Anderson

You're right, this drug is packaged exactly like Superadine. But it isn't. It's Rage.

The Tsoo have been manufacturing Rage lately; they're hoping it will become the new drug of choice. Let me tell you, you don't want to mix the two. It would cause a massive chemical imbalance in the brain, turning you into a berserk killing machine.

Oh, I almost forgot; StoryArc The Tsoo Shenanigans called me. Apparently Vitaly Cherenko wants a look at some artifact you recovered from the Outcasts. Vitaly Cherenko said you should get it to him without delay.

Ambush

Upon seeing Wyatt Anderson, you will be ambushed by a group of Tsoo.

Mission Objective(s)

• Take artifact to Vitaly Cherenko

Briefing: Vitaly Cherenko

You say the Tsoo were trying to sell this artifact to the Outcasts? Well, that brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'buyer beware!' This statue gives the bearer power all right, but it does so by eating away at his soul!

I think the Tsoo may be trying to sabotage the Outcasts. Maybe you should hit the streets in Steel Canyon. If you defeat enough Tsoo, you may convince one of them to tell us more about their plans.

	Vitaly Cherenko's observations
	Vitaly Cherenko told you: 'You say the Tsoo were trying to sell this artifact to the Outcasts? Well, that brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'buyer beware!' This statue gives the bearer power all right, but it does so by eating away at his soul! I think the Tsoo may be trying to sabotage the Outcasts.'

Mission Objective(s)

• Interrogate Tsoo about plot
  • Defeat 15 Tsoo

You found a coded note on one of the defeated Tsoo.

Ambush

Upon seeing Vitaly Cherenko, you will be ambushed by a group of Tsoo.

	Coded note
	You found this note on a Tsoo gangster. It reads: 'R Y N P S K N G S E Q S R J T P D P J I R C J H L S I X J D R J Q Y A P J N I K A I N N P A I K S P N J L N P S R A I K S R 9 7 C S L S C A R X V N S Q F R Y S R H J P N Q X I R Y N Q A Z N P Q E N S O O N O Q J V N C S I A I C P N S Q N L P J O T C R A J I H P L J'

Debriefing

So, one of the Tsoo you defeated was carrying this note? Nice job. I think I can get this decoded pretty quickly. With any luck, it'll tell us more about the Tsoo's recent meetings with the Trolls and the Outcasts.

I've sent the note that Tsoo gangster was carrying to a cryptographer. Hopefully he can give us some solid information to go on.
