Mission:Maxwell Christopher - Get the doomsday device out of Nemesis' grasp
Contents
Get the doomsday device out of Nemesis' grasp
Briefing
I got something from the Portal Corporation explorers across my desk. Seems that one of their exploration teams was trying to regain contact with a friendly dimension, but instead found a nearly abandoned world that was being overrun by Devouring Earth creatures. They also found a Nemesis Army expedition who were there to retrieve the doomsday device that had killed 70% of that world's population. The explorers couldn't stop the Nemesis expedition, but they got back alive and told what they saw.
That's where you and I come in. If Nemesis has some kind of doomsday weapon powerful enough to wipe out most of a world's population, we can't let him keep it. The records you found and reports of Nemesis Army activity have helped me pinpoint where they might be keeping that thing. All that left is for you to get the doomsday device out of Nemesis' grasp and get it to safety for analysis.
- Get the doomsday device out of Nemesis' grasp
It's hard for me to even imagine a device that could snuff out 70% of the people in the world. Nemesis can't be allowed to have that kind of power. Once you've got the device, take it to Dr. Steven Sheridan. I'm sure he'll have some valuable insights.
Get the doomsday device!
Unnecessary Solicitation
Nemesis can't be allowed to keep that doomsday device. He's a big enough threat to the world without that kind of power.
Mission Objective(s)
Nemesis has built this high tech lab in hidden caverns deep within the Earth. You hate to imagine the dreadful experiments that have been conducted down here.
- Get the doomsday device!
- Find the doomsday device!
You located and secured the doomsday device. You now need to take it to Dr. Steve Sheridan for analysis.

The Neurophagic Disruptor |
| The complex circuitry covering this fragile-looking sphere is burned out from the one time it was ever used. That one use was enough to burn out the mind of every living human being in a split second. This half-fused sphere in your hand is almost too much to imagine. This is a doomsday device. |

Ambush! Players will be ambushed by Nemesis after exiting the mission. |
Deliver device to Dr. Sheridan
Unnecessary Solicitation
You need to get that thing to Dr. Sheridan. He should be able to analyze it safely.
Mission Objective(s)
- Deliver device to Dr. Sheridan
Briefing
I've concluded my analysis, Character, and I must say that I'm rather shocked by the results. One of the mysteries we'd been trying to understand is what happened on that world? Who would have set off a device with so catastrophic a result? I now think we know. This Neurophagic disruptor is Nemesis technology. It's burned out and useless now, but I can say with near certainty that this was made by Nemesis. I doubt he'd be able to make another one, as there isn't enough of the required iridium isotope on this planet, but that's small consolation to the people of that ruined world.
This also coincides with observations our explorers have made, and your friend Maxwell Christopher has confirmed. Nemesis army forces from our world seem to be setting up a beachead or perhaps a colony on that now abandoned world. I'd hate to see that monster profit from all of this tragedy. We can open a portal to that world again, and over there you should be able to cut off Nemesis' access to that dimension. I'll call Portal Corporation and set the whole thing up. They'll need to construct a force field around a small portion of that world, in order to keep it stably linked to our own.
Alter portal devices
Unnecessary Solicitation
Sheridan is right. We can't let Nemesis take advantage of that world. We can open up path back to it later to provide aid, but we won't be able to do anything for them if Nemesis colonizes that world.
Mission Objective(s)
The once bright buildings of this world are now hanging in rags.
- Alter portal devices
- 6 portal devices to adjust
You've sealed off accesss to this dimension.
Debriefing
Nemesis almost had an entire world to use as a base of operations, Character. No doubt he was planning for the long term. What really sickens me is that he was willing to kill so many people to do it.
It got me thinking: why didn't he just threaten to use that device here? From the records you found, it looks like he was planning this for some time. I think I figured out why he chose that world too. According to Portal Corporation files, through some twist of fate the population of that world was mostly of African descent. To Nemesis, their skin color alone made the lot of them less than human. That monster probably didn't think twice about murdering them.
That's what Nemesis is, Character. That's the kind of evil we're fighting against.
