Information

Contract Arachnos Scientist

Doctor Weber is known in the scientific community for ignoring ethics and morals to get what he needs. He has firsthand performed several atrocities in the name of scientific progress.

He has been shunned by most law abiding science groups, but has found temporary employment in Arachnos.

Prior to Introduction

You and I have not met yet, Character. We have nothing to discuss until we can trust each other.

Initial Contact

Hello, Character. My name is Doctor Weber. Operative Kuzmin has briefed me about your work against Longbow.

I believe you and I will get along just fine. I am currently investigating the Infected in Mercy Island. I've reached a point, however, where I could use the help of someone such as yourself.

I can tell you everything, once you're ready. Shall we?

Yes, let's begin.

Greeting

Let us give the people of Mercy a higher purpose, Character.

Story Arc

Higher Purpose

Merit Rewards: There are no Reward Merits awarded for this activity.

Part One: A New Life

Briefing

I will briefly bring you up to speed. The Infected were created from the waste of experiments performed by Doctor Geist on Arachnoids.

This waste made its way into the sewage system of Mercy. In order to increase the pool of our experiments, I've put the same waste into the water supplies of several buildings and homes here in Mercy, and also in one of the bathrooms of a Rogue Isles Police station.

The results have been promising. The dregs, the poor, the useless of Mercy, have transformed into the Infected! I have given their lives a better purpose, and now, you and I shall take it for ourselves.

I still don't see where I fit into this, Weber.

Mission Acceptance

Doctor Weber hands you a syringe filled with chemicals. You will see momentarily. Yet another doctor, Doctor Creed, once created a chemical to kill the Infected.

Thanks to the larger pool of participants, I have created a chemical that can turn people into Infected.

I've put in chemicals that are waiting for a catalyst inside of a keg the RIP were using. You will find the Sick RIP nearby. Use the syringe on them to see if the experiment worked. If so, then we can make ourselves our own Infected army!

Unnecessary Solicitation

How is the experiment going, Character?

Mission Objective(s)

• Infect Sick Rogue Isles Police
  • # out of 10 RIP have been infected

[[Image:]]

Infected Syringe This syringe was made by Dr. Weber. Injecting it into the RIP should cause them to go through a horrific transformation!

Debriefing

Hrm. So the experiment was a success, but there is an unknown component that is tainting our data. An interesting turn of events, Timesink, but not unexpected.

The Infected are too promising to leave be. The chemicals from the Arachnoids, if perfected, could instantly give anyone super powers. Even if left unperfected, having control over the Infected could give one an army of followers on demand.

I believe Arachnos will have great use for this, and they would pay me handsomly for this. However... I think you and I would make much better use of these dregs than Arachnos, don't you agree?

Part Two: The Infected Solution

Briefing

We cannot have someone else controlling these Infected. I suspect it is either a rival scientist or Longbow. If the latter, then we must stop them.

They will seek to try to cure the Infected, to make them normal again. How horrible would that be? To have your life altered, your purpose bettered, only for you to return to your banal existence as some... dreg living in a slum.

We can find who is doing this, Timesink. It is our duty towards our own destinies and the destinies of these people to do so.

Do you have any idea of where to look?

Mission Acceptance

I just might. There are reports of other Infected murmuring about some 'calling' in Mercy City.

I believe the use of brute force is necessary with this. If you can find and defeat enough of them, I will use my devices to try to locate where this supposed 'calling' for them is coming from.

I will send you a message when I've found the location.

Defeat Mesmerized Infected

Unnecessary Solicitation

I have not picked up on their signal yet, Character.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat Mesmerized Infected
  • 3 Mesmerized Infected to defeat

You receive a message from Dr. Weber regarding the location of the signal!

	Signal Located
	You receive a message from Dr. Weber... 'I've found where a number of the Infected are gathering. I've sent you the coordinates. I would advise doing what you can through non-violent means to see what exactly is going on.'

Go to the location Weber discovered

Unnecessary Solicitation

Remember, Character, try to keep the violent methods to a minimum in this next part.

Mission Objective(s)

• Go to the location Weber discovered
  • Go to the location of the signal

You found what seems to be a... community of Infected?

Speak with... the leader of the Infected?

Unnecessary Solicitation

Fascinating, they've formed their own community? Is this where the calling is happening?

Mission Objective(s)

• Speak with... the leader of the Infected?

Infected Leader

Briefing

The supposed leader of the Infected looks straight into your eyes.

The Calling. All who have been Infected, gather towards me.

I shall bring you to the Promised Land, where we will find the cure to our condition. Abandon the urge to drink more from the water, focus on my will!

Examine the leader closer

Upon closer examination, you're able to tell that someone else is controlling this Infected. It seems to be some sort of telepathy!

Whoever is doing this is trying to bring the Infected somewhere to cure them of their condition. There can only be one group who would try such a thing - Longbow!

Longbow. Always getting in the way.

Debriefing

Longbow? Hrmph, they're too short-sighted to see the true miracles that we are working with the Infected. You and I cannot allow this to succeed, Character.

Longbow must be employing a telepath to control the Infected. We must find them and crush them, along with the cure they've created!
