Mission:The Price for Fire (Hero) - Part Two: Men of the Machine

Part Two: Men of the Machine

Briefing

Character, I'm not sure what to do next. Arachnos controls every island in the Rogue Isles... they could be keeping it anywhere.

Harvan shrugs apologetically.

I'm afraid I'm no good in situations like these. What are you planning to do?

• Positron's tracking the Antikythera's location. We'll have it back in no time.

Harvan's nervous expression fades, and he develops a knowing smile.

I see. Positron always did seem to have things planned out two steps ahead. I daresay that the two of you should be able to make short work of Arachnos's thugs. Give them hell, Character.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Well? Do you have it? ...Oh. I'm sorry, Character, I'm just anxious. Every moment that passes makes it more likely Arachnos will learn how to use the Antikythera, and once they do...

Briefing

Character, I believe it's time. The tracking beacon for the Antikythera has stopped moving somewhere inside the Grandville area of the Rogue Isles.

I've arranged with Longbow for immediate transportation to the area, but they won't be able to stay for long. We'll need to get inside, retrieve the Antikythera, and leave as quickly as possible. Any delay would give time for the larger bulk of Arachnos's forces to learn of our presence and reinforce their position, which could prove disastrous.

Are you prepared to depart, Character?

• I'm ready, Positron.

Positron Dialogue

At Entrance:

Positron: Prepare yourself, Character. We need to hit Arachnos fast and hard.

Upon Defeat:

Positron: Suit systems failing... I'm running a diagnostic.

Positron: I'm sorry, Character, but you'll have to handle the fighting from here on.

Arachnos Dialogue

Bane Spider Commando: They keep coming! Fall back!

---

Fire Tarantula: Someone get Black Scorpion up here! We're losing ground!

---

Bane Spider Commando: What the heck are these things?

Black Scorpion Dialogue

Before Combat:

Black Scorpion's Attendant: I don't understand... what power source is it even drawing from?

Black Scorpion: Just... figure out how it works! I'm not paying you to scratch your heads. Now, I need to-

Black Scorpion: Character! Huh. I guess the jig is up.

Black Scorpion: No matter. I've been wanting to beat on something for the past hour. You're just what the doctor ordered!

Combat Start:

Black Scorpion: I'm surprised you found me. Mantis must be getting sloppy.

75% Health:

Black Scorpion: Still, how'd you get here so quick? It shouldn't have been that- oh, for the love of...

50% Health:

Black Scorpion: You planted a bug on it, didn't you? I can't believe this...

25% Health:

Black Scorpion: Hey, BACK OFF! The suit's going critical...

Upon Defeat:

Black Scorpion: You got... some nerve, Character...

Debriefing

When you produce the Antikythera, Harvan breathes a deep sigh of relief.

Oh, fantastic, Character! We can get started immediately.

Come, I have something to show you...
