Information

Mad Scientist

Dr. Hetzfeld is a brilliant, albeit mad scientist. Such is his disdain of Neuron's position as Praetor of the Sciences the Hetzfeld has taken to modifying his own mind and body to put him on a more even footing when it comes to physical capability. He still believes himself to be the superior scientist, and will stop at nothing to prove that to the world.

Prior to Introduction

Science! But for me. Not for you. Not now, that is!

Initial Contact

For too long has the fraud, Neuron, twitched upon the Praetorship of the Sciences. His luck, is soon to run out. I, the Great Doctor Hetzfeld shall show him for the fool he is and take my rightful place at Cole's side.

And you! You, Character. I know that your aspirations match my own. I have seen your work!

Together, what a team we shall make!

Greeting

• Brilliant!
• Ah! Character, how good to see you.

Story Arc

For The Taking

Part One: Get the Big Ones

Neuron's failures are all around us, Kerian, they are merely eclipsed by those few magnificent advances that he has stumbled into purely by accident, or stole shamelessly from others...

I will have my revenge...

I have in mind a plan to expose a great secret, which will shatter the tower of lies Neuron has built. I seek to expose Neuron's hand in the creation of the Ghouls!

Expose Neuron's Lies

Proof. It all hinges on undeniable proof!

That is where you come in. Your unrivaled combat prowess will enable me to finally get my hands on some specimens from the tunnels beneath the city. I hear they are positively infested with the creatures. An unfortunate truth proven by my former partner whom never returned from her expedition below, despite the use of an advanced containment suit.

Alas, poor Doctor Helix, I shall miss you.

Ah, before I forget. Take this data transmitter, it will enable me to observe your progress from the safety of my laboratory. From there I will designate the specimens I require.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I need you to find the biggest and most powerful of the creatures that you can find. I will point them out, so just make sure to listen for any instructions.

Mission Objective(s)

You flip on Hetzfeld's transmitter and prepare yourself for the hunt.

• Retrieve Ghoul Specimens for Hetzfeld
  • 2 specimens to collect

You found three specimens that met Hetzfeld's requirements.

Ghouls

Ambush! After finding and defeating each specimen, you will be ambushed by several waves of Ghouls. After collecting the last ghoul, a horde of ghouls will arrive and you will be warned to get out of there by Hetzfeld.
Rargh!
Slay!
Kill!

Dr. Hetzfeld

Kerian, I'm detecting a lot of movement up ahead. Hunting looks good.
Remember, I want the strongest specimens you can find, I'll let you know when I see one I like.
Once you've incapacitated him I will lock onto him with my mediporter and bring him to the laboratory.

---

Yes, that one will do splendidly! Seize it!

---

Yes! That one! Get me that one!

---

That is a superb specimen. Bring him as well!

---

Kerian, the sounds of fighting have attracted hordes of Ghouls. Get out of there, now!

Part Two: Plots and Plans

Perfect! Absolutely perfect!

One of my assistants is dissecting the specimens at this moment. Soon I will unravel every last chromosome of incriminating evidence from those devastated bodies! Already Neuron's handiwork is plain to see for anyone versed in the nuances of genetic manipulation..."

Enough of your narcissistic yaping, I have a plan.

Hetzfeld appears to be taken aback at your sudden seizure of control over the conversation. He appears to have been quite happy talking before, but now he appears tongue tied.

You... you have a plan? But what of my...?

What of your what? (Give him 'the look')

Uh... I... I see. I suppose we could, um, I'd love to listen to your plan. I am eager to hear the thoughts of my assist...er, partner.

Revealing Neuron as a fraud isn't enough...

Not enough!? Wha... What do you mean?

I mean, of course it isn't it's, it's just the first stage of my...

Wait, what is it you are planning? I can tell it will be big!

Shut it and listen. You improve on Neuron's science, if you can...

If I can?!

Hetzfeld snarls with rage.'

I am the great Doctor Het...z...fel...d... ...

And I will use that newfound power to crush his rival; Raymond Keyes.

Hetzfeld's rage vanishes as he pauses, staring at you wide-eyed. You can see the gears of ambition turning in his head.

Yes... YES! That. Is. Brilliant... But... can you live up to your end of the plan?

Worry about yourself, doctor, I'm not the one raking on a Praetor

Hetzfeld looks momentarily nervous at that comment before shaking it off and explaining.

Neuron and Antimatter are currently enjoying an unstable peace. If you were to but nudge it with the hint of violence, then they would again focus their energies upon one another and concern themselves only with defending against each other...

... leaving themselves open to attack.

Unnecessary Solicitation

A most ambitious plan, Kerian. Opening old wounds between these two will only further damage their credibility.

We need to increase our efficiency. Here is the 10-digit code necessary to transmit data directly to me. This is a large responsibility, Kerian, I trust you not to abuse it.

Mission Objective(s)

• Attack Neuron's Clockwork
  • Defeat 10 Neuron's Clockwork
