Mission:Anton Sampson - Check the warehouse for anything that might hint at Nemesis' next plan
Contents
Check the warehouse for anything that might hint at Nemesis' next plan
Check the warehouse for anything that might hint at Nemesis' next plan
Briefing
I've got a mission for you, Character, very hush-hush. I just got word that a local warehouse is storing a bunch of arms and equipment for the Nemesis Army. I've spoken to the foreman, and he's agreed to let you take a quick look around. If we can figure out what Nemesis' next big move is, it'll go a long way toward preventing it. I need you to check that warehouse for anything that might hint at Nemesis' plans.
We still don't know for certain that this new Nemesis is the real 'Prussian Prince of Automatons' who's terrorized the world for nearly 200 years. Whether this new Nemesis and his army is the original or some kind of impostor, they're extremely dangerous. Be careful on this one, Character.
Mission Acceptance
If you find anything interesting, report back to me at once.
Unnecessary Solicitation
We have only a limited window of opportunity here. If Nemesis moves that stuff, our chance will be gone.
Mission Objective(s)
You hear the marching of soldiers' feet. Nemesis' men are here!
- Seek clues to Nemesis' plan
- 5 crates to search, Prevent release of gas
After calling your contact, you receive instructions to talk to Phillipa Meraux, the counter-terrorism specialist.

Gas masks |
| You found these gas masks in a warehouse, awaiting delivery to Nemesis. In the 1940's Nemesis almost seized control of America by releasing a special nerve gas in dozens of cities and then holding the country ransom for the cure. His robotic armies were only barely defeated on the streets of Washington DC by a coalition of heroes and a cure for the gas was synthesized in time, but the memory of his nearly successful plot still strikes fear in the hearts of many Americans. |
|
Canisters of gas |
| These canisters of gas are marked in several places with black and orange hazard warnings. You wonder if the gas in these cylinders could be related to the same neurotoxin the original Nemesis used in his 1945 attempt to take over the United States. |
Notes
- Even though it isn't a stated mission objective, this mission cannot be completed until all enemies have been defeated.
- Though it's not specifically stated, there is also a Gas Tank object that the Nemesis soldiers attempt to destroy during this mission. It is not necessary to keep the tanks from being destroyed in order to successfully complete the mission.
- After completing and exiting this mission, a character or team will be ambushed by Nemesis.
Enemies
Talk to Phillipa Meraux
Unnecessary Solicitation
Phillipa knows a lot about the original Nemesis' first attempt to gas the U.S. If he's at it again, she's the one to look to for help.
Mission Objective(s)
- Talk to Phillipa Meraux
Briefing
Sure, I can tell you all about Nemesis' first attempt to gas the United States. Not that it'll help. See, Character, I just don't believe he's actually playing the same tune again. That's not how the classic Nemesis operated. He was dangerously cunning, capable of running multiple interlocking plans at once, and he'd never try the same plan twice. From what I've seen of Nemesis this time, whether it's the original or not, I think he's just as capable and just as devious. You may not want to hear this, Character, but that whole warehouse mission was staged.
That's right, staged. I've done some digging on my own to confirm my suspicions, and lo and behold, the whole operation is gone. No foreman, no workers, nada. Face it, Nemesis was trying to get you and Anton Sampson so wrapped up in this fake plot, you'd never guess his real intentions.
Luckily, I've got another lead you can follow up. I don't know if this is something we can trust, but I heard that there's a lot of activity in a nearby Nemesis base. If you'll check that out, I'll bet we find he's on to a whole different scheme.
Notes
- After completing this mission, a character or team will be ambushed by Nemesis.
Check out Nemesis base
Unnecessary Solicitation
Phillipa may be right about that base; you should check it out.
Mission Objective(s)
The high-tech machinery of this base all bears the stamps of Nemesis' manufacture. It boggles the mind to imagine a man so gifted in so many sciences, yet so resolutely evil.
- Check out Nemesis base
- Seek clues to Nemesis' plans
You defeated the villains and discovered that Nemesis has portal technology.
Notes
- Even though it isn't a stated mission objective, this mission cannot be completed until all enemies have been defeated.

Debriefing
So, Nemesis had a portal generator! No wonder he led us on a wild goose chase; he couldn't risk the possibility that we would learn he has portal technology. Not only is that highly illegal, it's also very, very worrisome. I hesitate to imagine the plots Nemesis might be concocting. Is he planning to bring in troops from an alternate dimension? To spread his army into another world? Maybe this new Nemesis is from another world? Or maybe the original Nemesis hid on another world during the Rikti War? There are an infinite number of possibilities, and I'm sure Nemesis is hard at work selecting the most sinister one. We'll have to be doubly on our guard from now on.
