Mission:Angus McQueen - Stop the Rikti transdimensional expedition and contain the Devouring Earth
Stop the Rikti transdimensional expedition and contain the Devouring Earth
Briefing
The Rikti have been detected accessing a quarantined dimension, one where the Devouring Earth successfully hijacked the world's ecosystem and eradicated all human life. It is assumed that the Rikti are trying to find an alternate path to their home dimension, but that they are unaware of the extreme hazard this dimension represents. As I am certain you're aware, allowing the Rikti to find a path to their dimension of origin would be disastrous. There is an additional danger of alerting the natives of the dimension in question to the existence of our world. I have been authorized to ask for your assistance to stop the Rikti transdimensional expedition and contain the Devouring Earth on their own world.
While it is unlikely that the Rikti knowingly entered an hostile dimension, it is possible that they have already encountered difficulty. This will not change the objective of your task. Your main objective will be to disrupt the portal generation apparatus the Rikti have utilized to access this world. That will cut off Rikti access to that dimension, or at least disrupt any possible corridors from there to the Rikti homeworld. If those devices have been hidden too well, you can also concentrate on hunting down all Rikti operatives present at their transfer site on that world, as well as any hostile local residents they have come in contact with.
Mission Objective(s)
The air on the Devouring Earth's world is hot and humid.

You successfully disrupted the Rikti expedition.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Thorn (Monster/Elite Boss)

- Pollum (Rikti Chief Soldier)
Debriefing
The Rikti will not be able to continue their search from that world, and the adjustments you made should prevent further interaction between that world and ours. Though it is unlikely that the Rikti would return to such a hostile location, the full capabilities of that world's Devouring Earth population are unknown.
The Devouring Earth overran that world at approximately the same time as the Rikti Invasion occurred in our world. These events were not linked, but the proximity of their occurrence prevented us from offering any aid.
