Mission:To Something Greater - Part Three: Coming Together
Part Three: Coming Together
Briefing
We're all set to bring this thing to an end, Character. Vanguard has talked with a US Naval Fleet that's in the area near Wade's island.
We're planning an all out assault on the area. The first fleet has gone forward to begin the attack on the island, but they've reported information that's going to make this a little harder than we thought.
- What information is that?
There's some sort of intense power fluctuations within the area, which makes flying a no-go. Anything in the air would get tossed about like a ragdoll by the huge forces that are in the air.
The only way to get to Wade's island is by a boat.
We're going to have Vanguard airlift you over to one of the farthest vessels and take you from there. Oh, I should also mention that you're not going alone.
Lord Recluse, Captain Mako, Penelope Yin, Numina, Ms. Liberty, and Gaussian will be going there with you. Gaussian will be in charge of maintaining the ship. Recluse insisted on going along to finish off Wade himself, so you may run into some issues there. I'd keep my eye on Captain Mako; he'll have a huge advantage being in the ocean.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Good luck, Character.
Mission Objective(s)
You stepped off the Vanguard helicopter and into the ship. After spending a few hours wandering around, you return to the main area of the deck, waiting for information about Wade's island.
- Assault Darrin Wade's Island
- Speak with anyone on board (optional)
- Contact the ship captain via the computer for an update
- Get topside to see the disturbance
- Ascend to the USS Barry
- Retrieve the USS Barry's computer data
- Return to the USS Ross
- Fend off incoming Rularuu until Lady Grey can teleport the group to safety
You found Darrin Wade's island and discovered that only an attack from some immense amount of force will be able to destroy the forcefield that protects it.

- (Leave)
The computer connects you to the captain of the ship.
Character, we've got some odd readings that we're looking into. Something... definitely isn't right. We're getting -
What in the...
- What is it?
We need you all up on the deck, NOW! Something VERY wrong is happening! Gaussian is getting to work on scanning what exactly is going up there.
- (Leave)
You looked through the Barry's computer system and found data regarding its final moments. The Barry was the first to spot Wade's floating island and ordered everyone in the fleet to open fire.
They reported that nothing in their arsenal was able to destroy the shield surrounding the island, noting that it would take a large amount of high-powered missiles to begin to break through the shield.
Afterwards, energy signatures spiked in the area as other ships in the fleet were lifted out of the water as if they were toys.
Members of the crew began to instantly evaporate until there was no one left in any of the ships.
Upon returning to the USS Ross, the "Stop Darrin Wade's Ascension" phase begins. Event box reads as follows:
Survive Darrin Wade's Apocalypse Beam!
Penelope Yin's psychic barrier will protect you!
- Next Apocalypse Beam In: 0:30
Debriefing
This is worse than we imagined, Character. Darrin Wade was able to take out an entire fleet with the power he has on that, well, now floating island. Penelope Yin and Numina are currently recovering from trying to block Darrin Wade's attacks on the ship.
From what we can tell, Wade's island is starting to ascend higher into space. He must be planning on using it as the stage to summon Rularuu into this world! But we just have one problem... how are we going to get past that shield? We'd need an entire city's worth of fire power to...
Wait! I know!
