I really respect and appreciate the effort you've put into this.

I'm the Watcher. You're Character. I know what you can do. You know I'll help you do it. Let's get started.

Bring in Nemesis Defector

The Horror of War
Part: One

Briefing

Let's cut to the chase, Character. This is big. An officer of the Nemesis Army has contacted us. He says he wants to defect. He also said that he wanted to talk to you specifically. Knowing Nemesis, this could be a trap, but it's too good an opportunity to pass up. I want you to bring the defector in.

The defector's name is Captain Sherman. He wants out, and that's very interesting. The Nemesis Army rarely has any defectors, so it's almost too unlikely to be a trap. In either case, I doubt they'll be willing to let him go easily. Get Sherman to safety, then we may be able to find out more.

Mission Objective(s)

There have been few defections from the Nemesis Army. Or at least, very few successful ones.

  • Bring in Nemesis Defector
    • Lead Capt. Sherman out

Sherman went up in fire. Ironic.

Werfer Jaeger: I suppose it'll be the chopping gear for Captain Sherman, eh?
Dragoon: There's no room for traitors in the armies of Lord Nemesis.

Werfer Jaeger:

The crime is treason against the Nemesis Army, and slander against the good name of Lord Nemesis himself!

Captain Sherman:

Good name?
You have no idea how ridiculous you sound.

Werfer Jaeger:

Vile cur!
You'd dare besmirch the name of a loyal automaton of the Nemesis Army?

Captain Sherman:

If you knew even half of what I've learned...

Fake Nemesis:

And that is why you must be silenced.
The Sentence is death! To be carried out immediately!

Notable NPCs

  • Captain Sherman (Nemesis Traitor, Defector)

Captain Sherman: They'll be coming for me! We've got to get out of here!

Fake Nemesis: Once more a Sherman seeks to undo my great work!
Fake Nemesis: And after we took him from his barbarous mirror universe!

Colonel: My Lord Nemesis, the traitor approaches our position.

Fake Nemesis: The Nemesis Army shall suffer no betrayers!

Dragoon: Kill the traitor!

Clue
'It was... Nemesis!'

With his dying breath, Captain Sherman tried to tell you the explosive information that had caused his defection.

'Nemesis... It was all him. The war, the lies... The truth is at the Shadow Shard base. Take the coordinates. Learn the truth. The whole war, started by Nemesis! The Rikti were his dupes... It was... Nemesis!
I was Nemesis...
all...
along...'

As the life left him, he handed you a bloodied piece of parchment with a set of dimensional coordinates and one word: 'Proof!'

Debriefing (Mission Failed)

Captain Sherman's fate was unfortunate, but his last words confirmed a suspicion I've had. The first time I visited the Rikti Homeworld, they were a peaceful people. When I learned about the invasion I couldn't believe until I saw it myself. Any people can be manipulated, and Nemesis is a master of it. In retrospect, it's obvious, but we still need to convince others, and find the proof.
