Part One: Alliance of Necessity
Briefing
This automaton appears to be either badly damaged or suffering a serious malfunction, if not both. It jerkily turns towards you as you approach it, smiling broadly at you.
ERROR - CORRUPTED FILE: YEAR.2012.TXT; INCREMENTING FILE TO YEAR.2013.TXT
Hello, citizen! I am a loyal servant to our great leader, Lord Nemesis! Now that all of the 'heroes' in Eisenhauptstadt have been eradicated, and the United States government has finally ceded official control to Lord Nemesis, he has turned his attention to the Rogue Isles.
So, congratulations! In a few short months, you will be a citizen of the New Empire. If you have any questions about your new life under the rule of Lord Nemesis, please direct them to me now.
- Agree to form a strike force
Remember to tell your friends! Nemesis is coming, and any resistance you provide will merely prolong undue suffering. It is recommended that you begin preparing for your life under Lord Nemesis today!
Consult with Lastri
Unnecessary Solicitation
Hello! Did you have a question about life in the New Empire? Be advised - asking too many questions is generally frowned upon in the New Empire.
Sir / Ma'am, good timing. I was just about to request your presence aboard the Mitscher. I've arranged for a full staff meeting... I believe we need to address this Nemesis problem.
- He dies, Lastri. Preferably sooner rather than later.
- Of course, sir / ma'am. That's certainly within the scope of this project. However, I believe some preliminary work is going to be necessary before we can achieve this goal. Thus why I've taken the liberty of calling a meeting.
- Fine. This had better be good.
- I'll meet you on board, sir / ma'am.
- Leave
- Agreed, I'll head there now.
- I'll meet you on board, sir / ma'am.
- Leave
Meet with Your Allies
Unnecessary Solicitation
Hello! Did you have a question about life in the New Empire? Be advised - asking too many questions is generally frowned upon in the New Empire.
Mission Objective(s)
Everyone's been assembled. It's time to find out what Lastri has planned.
- Attend the Meeting
- Speak with Lastri
- Proceed toward Spider City
- Confront the Patron
You've negotiated a truce with Lord Recluse.
Enemies
Notable NPCs
- Lastri Kayumanis
- Odysseus (Warriors Elite Boss Ally)
- Socrates (Warriors Boss Ally)
- Captain Castillo (Sky Raiders Elite Boss Ally)
- Lieutenant Harriman (Sky Raiders Boss Ally)
- Ghost Widow (Arachnos Elite Boss)
- Black Scorpion (Arachnos Elite Boss)
- Scirocco (Arachnos Elite Boss)
- Lord Recluse (Arachnos Elite Boss)
- Red Widow (Arachnos Boss)
So, there we have it, sir / ma'am. I believe it's time for us to call on Lord Recluse.
I've called in the mainstay of our ground forces, and I've sent word to Captain Mako of our intent. Arachnos will not react well to our presence in Grandville, but I believe that if we can get you inside their headquarters in Spider City, we will be able to parley on even grounds.
- Excellent. Let's get started.
- A bold plan. Will it work?
- Honestly, sir / ma'am, I'm not 100% sure. Unfortunately, this appears to be our most favorable option at the moment.
- Nemesis threatens the survival of both Arachnos and our orga- *ahem* and the Illuminati. Without this alliance, I don't forsee much of a future for us.
- Very well. Let's begin.
- The Illuminati... I'm not sure.
- I think it's quite appropriate, personally. It fits with most of the work you've done thus far.
- Arachnos has the monopoly on soldiers and weapons in the Isles, but we've proven that brute force isn't the only form of control. The more agents you gather to your cause, the more you can manipulate events to your own advantage... something that Lord Recluse and his unwieldy army will never be able to claim.
- Lastri gives you a playfully reproachful look.
- Besides which, sir / ma'am... what's in a name? Clearly it's inspiring to your lieutenants. I would advise discretion in this case. You're about to send your allies on an all-out assault on Arachnos HQ. In these cases, morale is a significant concern.
- Very well. Let's begin.
Patrons defeated
Lord Recluse glares at you venomously. You get the distinct impression that talking with you is just about the last the he wants to be doing right now.
So. Character.
I can only assume that Nemesis's recent acquisition of Statesman's power - a power that was rightfully mine - and the timing of this attack are not mere coincidence. Am I correct?
- You are.
- And I take it that your presence here is not merely the result of a poorly-planned attack on my headquarters. Rather, you have motives somewhat less ambitious - and less suicidal - than an attempt to usurp Arachnos.
- Am I speaking truth here, Character?
- So far.
- Thus, the only conclusion I can come to is that you desire an alliance. You are in over your head, and you believe that only with the help of Arachnos can you possibly survive.
- Have I grasped this situation correctly, Character?
- Not quite. An 'alliance' goes too far. This is merely a 'truce'.
- Recluse nods slowly.
- Very well. As much as I would enjoy crushing you, Character, the hubris of this 'Lord Nemesis' goes far above and beyond your transgressions.
- Our conflict shall remain on hold, for now. I shall devote a portion of my forces to coordinate with yours until Nemesis is neutralized.
- Now, if you don't mind, please get out of my sight.
- (Leave)
- I'll let that 'suicidal' comment slide, Recluse. Are you done?
- Recluse nods slowly.
- Very well. As much as I would enjoy crushing you, Character, the hubris of this 'Lord Nemesis' goes far above and beyond your transgressions.
- Our conflict shall remain on hold, for now. I shall devote a portion of my forces to coordinate with yours until Nemesis is neutralized.
- Now, if you don't mind, please get out of my sight.
- (Leave)
- Let's cut to the chase, Recluse. You hate Nemesis. I hate Nemesis.
- Recluse nods slowly.
- Very well. As much as I would enjoy crushing you, Character, the hubris of this 'Lord Nemesis' goes far above and beyond your transgressions.
- Our conflict shall remain on hold, for now. I shall devote a portion of my forces to coordinate with yours until Nemesis is neutralized.
- Now, if you don't mind, please get out of my sight.
- (Leave)
Debriefing
Welcome back! Have you adjusted psychologically to the idea of being ruled by an all-powerful dictator?
It can be quite the pill to swallow, but if you need them, I've got some helpful tips for you! Once you've acclimated to your new way of life, you'll be able to survive relatively pain-free in the New Empire!
