High In Demand

Briefing

+++ Missing Information +++

  • Fantastic. Where can I find him?

He's working on some kind of expedition off the coast of Albania. I already spoke with Lastri, and she's arranged transportation for you.

Word of warning, Character: Harvan's not just an expert on Pandora's Box, but a well-known expert. That means you might not be the only one looking for him. Just stay alert while you're there, and get him out ASAP. Once you've got him en route to the Mitscher, you should be in the clear.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Character, let me break this down for you. Right now? We've got some insider info. We know a guy who knows a guy, and we might be able to get some answers. But as soon as word gets out that Harvan's the man that knows Pandora's Box? You can bet he's going to disappear, and fast.

So, maybe show some hustle on this? That's my recommendation, anyway. You do what you want.

Mission Objective(s)

Dr. Harvan is the only one you know of with extensive knowledge of Pandora's Box. He's coming with you, whether he likes it or not.

  • Track down James Harvan
    • Locate Harvan
    • Talk to the student
    • Rescue Harvan
    • Talk to Harvan
    • Lead Harvan to safety
    • Defeat Arachnos!
    • Speak to Lastri

You defeated Arachnos, and escaped with Harvan unharmed.

This young man(woman) appears to be working on excavating the ruins in this cave.

Briefing

Fear and hope flash across the student's face as he tries to gauge whether or not you are a threat. He's clearly not in a stable state of mind.

W-what's going on here? What did that woman want with Professor Harvan?

This is too freaky. Did you see those guys? Who dresses like that?

  • Get out more, kid. You've never heard of Arachnos?

The student's eyes widen in fear and recognition.

Wait... that wasn't... You mean those guys were Arachnos? Oh, man... oh man! I need to get out of here!

This is not good! Arachnos is, like, seriously dangerous! We can't be here! We'll die!

  • I can handle the, kid, just tell me where Harvan is.

The student seems to calm down a bit, reacting instinctively to your confidence.

Yeah... uh, yeah, Professor Harvan. He's in the deepest section of the cave, he was... he was trying to map out the cavern structure so we could start excavating soon...

The student fidgets nervously in front of you.

Can... can I go now? I'd like to, um, leave.

  • Sure, whatever. We're done here.
  • Calm down. I need you to tell me where Doctor harvan is.

+++ Missing Information +++

  • I'm going to reinstate Nocturne's offer. Info or the arm.

+++ Missing Information +++



Briefing

Doctor Harvan appears to be somewhat flustered, but otherwise unharmed. Arachnos probably wanted him for the same reason you do.

Now see here, young man! I demand to know what is going on here! We are on a licensed expedition, and if you people think you can intimidate us into-

  • Doctor, Arachnos is looking for you. I'm here to help.

Harvan's look of indignation turns to momentary doubt.

Did you say... Arachnos? Oh, dear. I suppose I should have seen this coming.

If they're here for me, then they must be searching for Pandora's Box. You see, I happen to be the foremost researcher in the field of-

  • I know, Doctor. I need to get you out of here.

Oh, oh yes, of course. I'll follow you out.

Do be careful, young man. I've heard Arachnos can be quite dangerous.

  • You don't say.
  • Quiet, Doctor. You're coming with me.

Lastri Kayumanis & James Harvan

Briefing

Lastri:Good day, Character. I hope you didn't mind the interruption. The Mitscher detected Arachnos reinforcements approaching, and Mr. Hill claimed he could sense Ghost Widow's presence nearby. I thought it prudent to send you some of our own resources as well.

Negotiations with Dr. Harvan are underway. It appears you've made... quite the impression on him.

  • I should hope so.

Harvan: Harvan beams at you.

I must say, your assistant has made quite the enticing offer. A charmer, that one.

I'll say to you what I said to her, Character. If you have the resources available to enable my research, and you can vouch for my safety, then you'll have my utmost cooperation.

This may be the best chance I have of completing my life's work. To see the legendary Pandora's Box with my own eyes... why, I can hardly wait to get started! Hah!

  • Glad to have you on board.

Lastri: I'll make sure Dr. Harvan has the appropriate accommodations. Arachnos apparently has the same information on his career that we do, so it would be safest to keep him aboard the Mitscher for now. I'll forward any pertinent information we obtain to Lieutenant Harriman, for your perusal.

If there's anything else, sir...?

  • That will be all, Lastri.
