Information

Brother Hammond was one of Martin Henri's first converts, and has been a devoted follower ever since. While many of his brothers take up arms against those who would use technology - which his order proclaims is as sinful as making bargains with devils - he chooses instead to evangelize on the streets of Aeon City. He believes that, if he can spread the word of Truth to enough people, his brotherhood will grow to become a sizable force in Cap au Diable. So far, those efforts have proved fruitless.

Part One: A Web for the Spider

The Aeon Conspiracy What Schemes May Come Part One: A Web for the Spider

The hooded man looks at you skeptically, but spreads his hands in a welcoming gesture.

I am here to spread the words of Truth to those that would hear it, no matter where they may come from. My name is Brother Hammond. Stay with me, and listen.

Soon the Chosen One will appear to lead us, risen from the shadows to save us from Aeon and his corruption. The prophecies say that she will enter the center of the corruption, the very heart of the darkness, and there she will face three great evils. With the might of the Truth, she shall strike down the corrupt, and will arise as the champion of the righteous. She will lead us to glory, and victory over Aeon and his dark works.

You can't help but notice how... achievable Hammond's prophecy sounds. The Luddites aren't an especially capable force in the Rogue Isles, but having them at your beck and call could prove useful.

So, sister, you have heard a small part of the Truth. Will you be joining us in our crusade?

  • Perhaps, brother. But I have something important to do first.

Hammond nods solemnly.

Ours is a quest of sacrifice. If you wish to bid farewell to loved ones and break ties with your old ways, then do so. I will be here for some time, spreading the Truth. When you are ready, come see me once more.

The prophecy mentioned that the Chosen One would enter the 'heart of the darkness' and face 'three evils'. If you assume the 'heart of darkness' is referring to Aeon City Square, then fulfilling the prophecy is a simple matter of setting a trap for Aeon's Arachnos flunkies.

And as everyone in the Rogue Isles knows, the best way to attract the attention of Arachnos is to humiliate them.

Provoke Aeon's Lieutenants

Mission Objective(s)

All you have to do is get Arachnos's attention. Considering what you're capable of, that shouldn't be difficult at all.

  • Provoke Aeon's Lieutenants
    • Steal the Arachnos weapon prototype
    • Ensure Arachnos knows what you did

You have provoked Arachnos, and set a time for them to 'ambush' you.

Enemies

Notable NPCs

  • None.
Speak with Brother Hammond

Part Two: Choosing Oneself

Hammond assumes a stuffy, condescending posture and begins pacing in front of you.

I believe it is time that I related to you the history of our order. When Martin Henri, the great prophet, was first visited by the spirit of his-

I'm sorry to interrupt, brother, but I have something important to show you.

Hammond stops short, and raises a curious eyebrow at you.

Do you now? I am intrigued, sister. Please explain.

(Leave)

Fulfull the Luddite Prophecy

What do you have in mind, sister?

I can show you, soon... can you gather together as many followers as possible?

If you believe it is necessary, then we can have tonight's sermon here, in the territory of the enemy.

Hammond's expression turns skeptical.

I do hope that whatever you plan on showing us is related to our struggle against Aeon. I would be displeased if we were wasting time on trivial matters.

Trust me, you'll like this. (Start Mission)

Mission Objective(s)

Hammond has gathered his followers in Aeon City Square, and the area is swarming with Arachnos. Time to show your stuff.

Debriefing

Hammond is still visibly shaken by his 'discovery'. As you approach, he doesn't seem sure how to respond to you. He eventually bows his head slightly, in a nervous display of reverence.

Exalted sister. I am... honored to be in your presence. The seekers of Truth will follow you in your quest to defeat Aeon and his empire.

I... I have very high hopes for these days now, Scrawl. It feels as though our purpose is coming to fruition at last.

Part Three: Brothers in Arms

I must present you to Martin Henri as soon as possible. I must tell him of what I have seen... of what you are, noble sister.

When he learns that you are the Chosen One, we can begin a righteous campaign against Aeon and his terrible works of technology. We will reclaim 'Aeon City', and our brothers will finally be rewarded for their sacrifices.

And once I meet with Henri, he will grant me command of the Lud- er, of our order?

Hammond nods vigorously.

We follow the example of Martin Henri, but the prophecies are clear: when the Chosen One is revealed, she will lead us to glory and victory. You will take command of our order and strike at the heart of the enemy.

Come, we must not waste time. I will show you where Martin Henri currently resides. Meet me there, so that I may watch history unfold before my very eyes.

Freedom!
We waken!
Parasites! Die!

Debriefing

Hammond is smiling broadly. When he sees you, he waves gleefully and beckons you closer.

It is done! Oh, I thought this day would never come. The day of prophecy, the moment of our foretold victory!

Praise be to you, Chosen One! You are the light that drives away the darkness!

Part Four: Traitor by Trade

Finally, the empire of Aeon has crumbled! Their blessed technology is useless to them, and all of Aeon City has been plunged into darkness! Praise be to-

Whoa, hold on. All of Aeon City?

Yes! Inspired by your leadership, our brothers have gone to the very heart of the corruption! Martin Henri himself leads them now, to assault the PTS and end Aeon's reign of technological tyranny!

Rejoice, sister, for today, we shall save the troubled peoples of this place from the corruption that surrounds them!

Leave

Investigate the Luddite Attack

What's wrong, sister? You seem displeased. Are you not proud of the progress we have achieved? Progress that you, the Chosen One, have made possible?

...Sure. Proud. You said that Martin Henri's attacking the PTS right now?

Yes indeed! Brother Henri was so inspired by your bold course, attacking the very veins through which the corruption is spread, that he ordered the entire city be freed. The paltry defenses that Aeon has installed at the power station will be no match for-

Hammond is cut off mid-sentence as the entire city goes dark. Hammond flashes you a knowing smile.

I must spread the good news to our brothers, elsewhere in the city. Rejoice, sister, for today we are victorious!

You're not above using others' beliefs to your own advantage, especially when they're as gullible as the Luddites.
