Story Arc

Zag Breakout!

Souvenir: Zag Security Badge

This is a badge taken from one of the Zag security guards at Agincourt in the Nerva Archipelago. You acquired it in a tale you like to call:

Zag Breakout!

It all started when a shadowy figure in the alleys of Crimson Cove informed you that certain interested parties were interested in hiring out your services. Traveling to Sharkhead Isle, you met with Lorenz Ansaldo, a troubleshooter for the Family. He passed on to you a large brown envelope containing security information on the prison facility known as the Zag located in the Longbow stronghold known as Agincourt. The envelope also had information on a known Family sniper and demolition expert called James O'Clary who was a prisoner in the Zag. You spoke with the shadowy figure and he set to work on getting the final details necessary for springing O'Clary from the prison.

The shadowy figure said you need to acquire a set of passcodes to get past the Zag security doors from a Longbow base. In order to prevent Longbow from initiating a prison lockdown after you stole the passcodes, you needed to get a prototype Ultra-Jammer from one of Dr. Aeon's labs in order to stop all outgoing transmissions. After defeating a number of Arachnos guards, you stole the Ultra-Jammer from the lab safe.

You broke into the Longbow base, planted the Ultra-Jammer and stole the Zag security passcodes. Taking the passcodes, you slipped into the Zag proper to break out James O'Clary from his cell.

Talk with Lorenz Ansaldo

Briefing

Alright, Character, I need someone who isn't afraid to go up against Longbow. If you think you're tough enough, go talk to Lorenz Ansaldo on Sharkhead Isle.

Ansaldo's got some important info for the task at hand.

Mission Objective(s)

• Talk with Lorenz Ansaldo

Lorenz Ansaldo

Debriefing

Yo, Character! That shadowy guy in Nerva sent ya? I got somethin' for ya...

The Family has some deep pockets, and we paid primo bucks for the info in this envelope. But your fella in Nerva has provided us with some quality heist info in the past, so we're willing to part with this stuff as 'repayment for services rendered.' Capisce?

Now get outta here!

Debriefing

You got the envelope from Ansaldo? Its contents should detail what our objective is going to be. Let me take a look and I'll work out what else we're going to need.

Steal Ultra-Jammer from Aeon lab

Briefing

So we've got to spring a Family hitman called James O'Clary out of the Zag. I've read the security documents you got from Lorenz Ansaldo, and I think we can do this break-in no problem. All we need are the latest codes to bypass the main security doors. Those things are thick titanium with built-in phase blockers — pretty high-tech stuff!

Ansaldo's files have information on a Longbow base that has the necessary security codes. The problem is that as soon as the base is compromised, they're going to put a security lockdown on the Zag. We need a way to kill any Longbow transmissions coming out of that base. Conventional jammers won't be able to stop Longbow tech, but I know that one of Dr. Aeon's labs have developed a working prototype of a hyper-charged Ultra-Jammer that kills any transmissions while still remaining undetectable. That's exactly what we need for this job! Break into the Aeon lab and steal the Ultra-Jammer.

Mission Acceptance

You're going to run into some Arachnos trouble, so try to keep a low profile.

Mission Objective(s)

You slip into the Aeon Lab and start looking for the Ultra-Jammer.

• Steal Ultra-Jammer from Aeon lab

You got the Ultra-Jammer!

Ultra-Jammer

This device looks like a small chrome toaster with dials and antennae. It is a hyper-charged transmission jammer taken from one of Dr. Aeon's labs. You plan to use it in a Longbow base after you steal the security passcodes to the Zag prison in Agincourt.

Enemies

Arachnos

Debriefing

You got the Ultra-Jammer? Perfect, perfect. Let me get it ready and tested.

Steal passcodes, plant jammer, bust out prisoner

Steal passcodes and plant Ultra-Jammer

Briefing

Okay, Character — it's go time! We've got the profile on the prisoner you need to break out of the Zag, and the Ultra-Jammer which will allow us to acquire the security door passcodes without setting off alarms. You'll need to steal the passcodes and plant the Ultra-Jammer in the Longbow base, then break James O'Clary out of the Zag.

Once the Ultra-Jammer is in place, you'll only have a short time before they discover the device. You'll have about 90 minutes to bust James O'Clary from the Zag.

Mission Acceptance

If you get caught in the Zag, you don't know me.

Mission Objective(s)

Your intrusion has gone undetected for now.

Extract Longbow defector

Briefing

Okay, we got an extraction job if you're not afraid of going up against Longbow. One of their agents has been speaking with Arachnos and wants to defect. To prove his loyalty, Arachnos wants him to steal a bunch of intel from Longbow before the extraction occurs. Unfortunately, the intel data is very high-profile, so as soon as he steals it Longbow is going to be on him in an instant. Head over to the Longbow base and extract the defector.

Mission acceptance

Aeon labs has developed a super-strong computer virus called 'Redback' that will blow through Longbow's systems. Get the super-virus, then break into a Longbow base and upload it into their network.
