Mission:Angus McQueen - Save a number of Lost from full conversion to Rikti

Save a number of Lost from full conversion to Rikti

Briefing

I would like to request your discreet assistance in a difficult matter. If you are not interested, I will not hold against you, as this action has not been sanctioned by my superiors and is therefore not condoned by the government at this time. The operation is not illegal, but I have discovered the situation through unconventional means that would be frowned on by the chain of command. Knowing this, if you are still willing to assist me it could save a number of Lost from full conversion to Rikti. There is not much time, the Rikti will know your intention. You will have 90 minutes or less.

Mission Acceptance

I still have occasional contact with members of the Lost cell I infiltrated. It's not usually purposeful, but a matter of psionic leak-through to their portion of the Rikti mind-web. There are several of them who are being prepared to for the final conversion into full Rikti, but they know that they will be assigned to the Lineage of War to be used as front-line troops. They retain enough human loyalty that they do not wish to be used as disposable soldiers in this manner. During contact I was able to discern their location. All that remains now is their rescue.

Thank you, Hero. Succeed or fail, I appreciate your effort.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Your objective is the liberation of the reluctant Lost before they are moved to a conversion site. I will make certain that they receive care once they have been liberated from Rikti control.

Mission Objective(s)

You have a distinct feeling of being near many angry or frightened people, like you were standing on the edge of an argument you couldn't hear.

• Free reluctant Lost
  • 8 Lost to find (Timed, 90 minutes)

You rescued all of the reluctant Lost before they were moved and converted into full Rikti.

Upon Rescue
Reluctant Lost Boss x2: Was once: A man...
Reluctant Lost Boss x2: Don't want: hurt people.
Reluctant Lost Minion x2: I thought we were beyond help. Thank you, Rescuer.
Reluctant Lost Minion x2: You're here to save us, Rescuer? Even after what we've become?

Debriefing

You did very well, Hero, and have my continued thanks. I went outside my own authority and ensured sufficient media coverage of your actions to insure that the Lost you rescued will receive proper medical and social attention instead of being consigned to government or scientific study.

I can feel their thoughts at the edge of my perception. They are scared, but much happier. They think highly of your courage and compassion, as do I.

I also appreciate your discretion in this matter.
