'''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 technology on the planet. Hurry!

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=A smell of gun powder hangs in the air.  You can only hope the Council hasn't hurt anyone.|Primary=Stop raid leaders & their crews - 1:30|Secondary=8 people left, 2 devices left, 2 files left|Additional=|Completion=You prevented the Council from stealing the Rikti technology.}}

{{Mission Clue|Name=Science Team Story|Text=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.}}

{{Mission Clue|Name=Manifold Resonator|Text=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.}}

{{Mission Clue|Name=Resonance Disruptor|Text=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.}}

{{mission Clue|Name=Files A7-990 to LV-426|Text=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.}}

{{Mission Clue|Name=File 77-276|Text=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.}}

'''Temporary Power:'''

The [[Temporary Powers#Manifold Resonator|Manifold Resonator]] is granted upon clicking the Vault glowie.

{{PowerBox|Icon=Temporary_ManifoldResonator.png|Name=Manifold Resonator|Effect=Self Teleport +Special|Desc=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 [[Temporary Powers#Resonance Disruptor|Resonance Disruptor]] is granted upon clicking the Vault glowie.

{{PowerBox|Icon=Temporary ResonanceDisrupter.png|Name=Resonance Disruptor|Effect=Toggle: Self Stealth, +Defense, -Hit Points|Desc=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.
