Rescue the scientists from the Devouring Earth

Briefing

A group of scientists are under attack by the Devouring Earth. They're doing critical work toward understanding and maybe even reversing the process that the creatures use to convert people into their own kind. I need you to rescue those scientists from the Devouring Earth. If we are ever to defeat the Devouring Earth forever, we cannot afford to lose these researchers.

I want every Devouring Earth creature accounted for.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat all creatures in lab
  • 3 researchers to save

You have defeated the Devouring Earth and saved all the scientists.

Dr. Ido's concerns

When you rescued Dr. Victor Ido, he told you:

'We were trying to figure out how to reverse the process that turns people into Devouring Earth creatures. Well, we found something, but we're not yet sure what it means. We found biological agents in the blood of normal people that matched similar agents in the recently Devoured! We started taking blood samples from people all over the city, and we've been finding these biological contaminants in nearly every citizen we've tested. I'm not sure what the implications are, but I must admit I'm concerned.

Debriefing

Dr. Ido and his lab crew send you their thanks. They're relocating to a new lab so they can continue their research into the process that turns people into Devouring Earth creatures. These biological contaminants they found in normal human blood are very worrying. Especially since the same contaminants exist in the recently Devoured. I've asked Dr. Ido to keep me appraised of their work.

Capture a Devouring Earth creature for the scientists

Briefing

I just spoke with Dr. Victor Ido, that researcher you rescued from the Devouring Earth. He said that his lab is nearing a major breakthrough in determining the source of those strange biological contaminants they found both in normal human blood and in the recently Devoured. The problem is, they need some recently Devoured creatures in order to confirm their conclusions. Will you capture some Devouring Earth creatures for the scientists to study?

Well, it's all for science. They've located some appropriate creatures, and I've isolated them with an emergency force field. Just take the Light Rail over to the Ulysses Keys.

Mission Objective(s)

• Capture several test subjects
  • Investigate area, 2 test subjects to capture

You have captured the test subjects and found a Devouring Earth manifesto.

Unity manifesto

This document speaks in rapturous terms of a great change that will come over every person in Paragon City. It refers to this coming change as 'The Unity,' and implores people not to fear their inevitable union with the Earth.

• 2 Test Subjects (Devouring Earth Lesser Devoured)

Debriefing

The creatures you captured have already been picked up by the lab's research team. They won't hurt them; after all, those critters used to be Paragon citizens! This manifesto you found really worries me. I don't know what to make of it, but I have a bad feeling it's going to tie into all of this somehow. Check back with me later, I'll keep you informed.
