Information

Hero Corps Representative

Ashwin Lannister is rising quickly throught the ranks of Hero Corps, largely due to his experience during the Rikti War. As a military intelligence analyst, Ashwin helped coordinate the defense of Washington, D.C. He was also one of the handful of analysts allowed direct access to Rikti prisoners. Since joining Hero Corps, however, he's been assigned some of the lesser but still dangerous villain groups, like the Council. He finds them rather fascinating, and he's working hard to compile a fuller understanding of the group's beliefs and goals. With the help of the heroes he works with, he's having a fair degree of sucess.

Missions

Protect Senator Farnsworth from Council agents

Briefing

I hope you already had your good day, 'cause I am about to make it a lot worse. I was told to get word to you that the Council is planning to kidnap Senator Farnsworth and his entire staff. Farnsworth is giving a speech in Jannissey Heights today, and I'll bet good money the Council plans to strike there. You need you to get to Jannissey Heights right away to save Senator Farnsworth. You'll only have 90 minutes to save those people.

The clock is ticking on this one, so listen carefully. The Council will be after not just Senator Farnsworth, but all of his staff. You'll have to rescue every last volunteer. Saving them isn't the end of it though; you'll also need to defeat Archon Pascale, the operative in charge of the assassination. Otherwise, those people will never be safe.

Mission Objective(s)

Two dead security guards are a sure sign that the Council is already in the area.

• Stop Archon Pascale & his crew - 1:30
• 7 people to rescue

You rescued Senator Farnsworth and his staff)

Notable NPCs

• Archon Pascale (Penumbra Cor Leonis Archon)
• Senator Farnsworth (Hostage)

Debriefing

Senator Farnsworth wanted to thank you for rescuing him, but the Secret Service wouldn't let him come in person. I can understand their caution. The Council has been known to brainwash politicians, then sit back like a bunch of sick puppet masters pulling their strings. It's a good thing you stopped them today.

Stop the Council from stealing Rikti Technology

Briefing

Exarch Labs just reported a break-in by Council agents. Their vaults contain several Rikti weapons and other pieces of alien technology left over from the Rikti War, none of which can be allowed to fall into enemy hands. It gets even better, though, because the Sky Raiders know about the theft, and might make a play for the same prize in the confusion. It's going to take heroic action to stop the theft of Rikti technology. Once this is started you'll have to hurry. You only have 90 minutes to stop the break-in.

That Rikti stuff is probably the most dangerous technolgy on the planet. Hurry!

Mission Objective(s)

A smell of gun powder hangs in the air. You can only hope the Council hasn't hurt anyone.

• Stop raid leaders & their crews - 1:30
• 8 people left, 2 devices left, 2 files left

You prevented the Council from stealing the Rikti technology.

Science Team Story

Upon his rescue, Dr. Boyd told you: 'The Council was interested in two specific pieces of Rikti Technology that we call the Manifold Resonator and the Resonance Disruptor. Their Full functions aren't known, but research on them could revolutionize several key areas of physics. They're also looking for reports we were preparing on a recent autopsy of a Rikti soldier and an overview of Rikti technology that we prepared for congress.

Manifold Resonator

This piece of Rikti Technology was used in Rikti Portals to maintain field stability through the travel process. It has been modified to allow a single person to teleport a short distance a limited number of times, but has a slight side effect on use.

Resonance Disruptor

This piece of modified Rikti Technology came from a piece of a Rikti Portal and can make the user out-of-phase with reality for a short time, at great cost to the user's health.

Files A7-990 to LV-426

These files constitute sections of a report meant for congress on the world's current understanding of Rikti technology. Though much of it is encrypted, you note certain frequently mentioned elements, such as the Rikti's mastery of force fields. You also see that the report mentions that the Rikti apparently have no practical knowledge of nuclear power.

File 77-276

This file details the autopsy of a Rikti soldier. Much of the file has been encrypted by powerful ciphers, including nearly all of the anatomical photographs.

Notable NPCs

• Dr. Boyd (Hostage)

Temporary Power:

The Manifold Resonator is granted upon clicking the Vault glowie.

Manifold Resonator

Self Teleport +Special

After Teleporting, you will remain intangible for a while. During this time, you cannot activate any other powers. As you slowly phase into normal space, you will remain partial visible for a brief time. If you attack while partially visible, your accuracy will be reduced, but your defense will be improved.

The Resonance Disruptor is granted upon clicking the Vault glowie.

Resonance Disruptor

Toggle: Self Stealth, +Defense, -Hit Points

The Resonance Disrupter bends light around you to make you completely Invisible. While this power is active, you are all but impossible to detect. If you attack while Invisible, you will be detected, although you will still have a huge bonus to defense. This technology is unstable, and you will take damage over time as long as it is active. Will not work with other self-targeted concealment related powers such as Stealth or Invisibility.

Debriefing

Excellent job. You secured the Resonator and Disruptor and made sure that neither the Council nor the Sky Raiders got their hands on any vital research. The Exarch Security teams will take it from here on the clean-up.

The Sky Raiders have a grudge against the groups the Council recently took over; when political zealots clash, things can get pretty ugly. I guess things haven't changed just because that group's under new management.
