Finale: The Key To Power

Briefing

Okay, boss. I think we're starting to close in, here. Lastri's already pumping Harvan for info, and we got something big. Harvan pointed us to something he called, 'The Key'. It's related to Pandora's Box somehow, and Harvan's convinced that if he can get his hands on it, then he can locate Pandora's Box for you. Sweet deal, right?

There's a catch, though. This key, it's a powerful artifact in its own right, and the Circle of Thorns have their grubby hands all over it. Lastri's in the middle of setting up an excursion to Paragon, and she asked me to send you to the Mitscher as soon as you're ready.

  • I'll head out, then.

Right. I'd lend you the support of some of my boys, but... frankly, I'm not sure they'd be much help. Subterranean caverns aren't exactly our strong suit. We're called the Sky Raiders for a reason, you know.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Lastri's almost finished with her preparations, Character. As soon as you're ready, the expedition's gonna head out.

Mission Objective(s)

Lastri's team, professional as always, managed to get you into the lost city of Oranbega without incident. The rest is up to you.

  • Search Oranbega for The Key
    • Talk with Harvan
    • Search for the Antikythera
    • Defeat Lilitu
    • Defeat Fusionette

You have defeated Lilitu, and retrieved the Antikythera.

Briefing

Welcome to the lost city of Oranbega, sir. My men will attempt to fortify this position, to ensure that Dr. Harvan is well protected.

I suggest you confer with him about this artifact he's looking for. I doubt conditions in the rest of the city will be safe enough for him to accompany you.


Briefing

Harvan is examining the structure of the city carefully.

Amazing... judging by the sediment, I'd say this structure must be thousands of years old... but it clearly wasn't built this far underground, and it has hardly any structural damage...

Harvan finally notices you near him, and turns to you with a start.

Oh my! Oh... Character. I apologize. I find myself quite taken with this place. Simply fascinating.

  • We're here for a reason, doctor. The Key...?

Ah, yes, the Key! Well, not strictly a key, per se, but I found that to be the best way to describe it to your mercenary friend. It's really more of a... focus. At least, that's what my father's research implies.

The object is called the Antikythera. I'm not entirely sure on its history or origins. It could have been created to work in tandem with Pandora's Box, or perhaps it was made afterwards, in order to manipulate it... regardless, it is a tool of incredible potential, and I believe it is integral to locating Pandora's Box.

  • So, what am I looking for, exactly?
(See below)
  • Your... father's research?

Harvan nods studiously.

My life has been devoted to finding and studying Pandora's Box, but much of my research is actually based on my father's work. He obsessed over locating the Box, simply to prove its existence. Most of his work was disregarded by his peers, but his research has helped me immensely in my search.

The only obstacle I've encountered in my studies has been the lack of appropriate funding and manpower to track down the components of my father's work... but thanks to you, that is no longer a problem, now, is it?

So, what am I looking for, exactly?

The Antikythera's humble appearance belies its potential, Character. It is small, small enough to carry under one arm, and resembles an ancient measuring device. Which, I suppose, is true, though few know what the Antikythera truly measures.

You must be careful, Character. I do not know if the Circle of Thorns know the Antikythera's true purpose, but they are most certainly aware of the power inherent in the device. You will likely find the object to be well-guarded.

If you can retrieve the device, I can begin using it to locate Pandora's Box. I wish you luck, Character. In this hunt, our goals are one and the same.

  • I'll be back shortly


Debriefing

Smooth operation as usual, boss. The more this goes on, the more it feels like we're holding all the cards. We've got Harvan and the Antikythera, and all anyone else has are bruises for getting in our way. That's the kind of M.O. I can get behind.

Still, I think we're at a point where I'm not gonna be of much use. My boys and I will keep your operations secure, but the search for this thing is way beyond our area of expertise. People like Lastri and Harvan are good at wrapping their heads around cosmic power, but I'm just not.

At the point when you start using one crazy artifact to track down another, well, that's when my brain checks out, and frankly, I kinda like it that way.
