Mission:Division: Line - Disrupt the Rikti Restructurists' plan and prevent a second Rikti Invasion

Disrupt the Rikti Restructurists' plan and prevent a second Rikti Invasion

Briefing

The Rikti have staged a major attack, securing a section of Oranbega rich in stores of magical energy. I believe, and C'Kelkah's concurs, that they are going to utilize their magi and knowledge about magical barriers to focus that energy and use it to destroy the barrier around the Rikti home Earth, beginning a second Rikti Invasion. This cannot be allowed to happen. Conventional forces are being gathered, but they may be too late and insufficient to the task. I therefore must ask you to disrupt the Rikti Restructurists' plan and prevent a second Rikti Invasion.

• Disrupt the Rikti Restructurists' plan and prevent a second Rikti Invasion

I have consulted with all the occult and technological experts available. There should be two ways to prevent the destruction of the barrier. First, simply defeat all the Rikti in the target area. Secondly, disrupt the Rikti dimensional devices and the Circle's energy storage shrines and altars. Neither will likely be easy. Both Rikti and Circle forces are certain to regard you as a threat. You must not fail. I have absolute faith in your abilities.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Debriefing

The threat has passed for now, thanks to your efforts. The Restructurists are in chaos, but are already beginning a new wave of attacks. The greatest development, however, is with the Rikti Traditionalists. They have begun talks with the government for a cease-fire between Rikti of the Traditionalist faction and the peoples of Earth. It is not a peace, and will have no bearing on the actions of the larger Restructurist faction, but it is a step towards a peace and an end to the war. All of which is possible only due to your bravery and heroism. I thank you, Character.
I thank you.

I asked C'Kelkah why she was helping us. Her reasoning was simple. She worried that if the Restructurists could restore contact with the Rikti home Earth, they would likely be given free reign to continue on Earth until they achieve victory. She feared that with that taste of victory, they would not allow their power to be taken away and be merged back under the command of the Lineage of War. Then, they might not stop with one Earth alone. My superiors may not trust the Traditionalists much, which is understandable. But I think I can trust that motivation.
