Information
Brother Hammond was one of Martin Henri's first converts, and has been a devoted follower ever since. While many of his brothers take up arms against those who would use technology - which his order proclaims is as sinful as making bargains with devils - he chooses instead to evangelize on the streets of Aeon City. He believes that, if he can spread the word of Truth to enough people, his brotherhood will grow to become a sizable force in Cap au Diable. So far, those efforts have proved fruitless.

Part One: A Web for the Spider
The Aeon Conspiracy What Schemes May Come Part One: A Web for the Spider
The hooded man looks at you skeptically, but spreads his hands in a welcoming gesture.
I am here to spread the words of Truth to those that would hear it, no matter where they may come from. My name is Brother Hammond. Stay with me, and listen.
Soon the Chosen One will appear to lead us, risen from the shadows to save us from Aeon and his corruption. The prophecies say that she will enter the center of the corruption, the very heart of the darkness, and there she will face three great evils. With the might of the Truth, she shall strike down the corrupt, and will arise as the champion of the righteous. She will lead us to glory, and victory over Aeon and his dark works.
You can't help but notice how... achievable Hammond's prophecy sounds. The Luddites aren't an especially capable force in the Rogue Isles, but having them at your beck and call could prove useful.
So, sister, you have heard a small part of the Truth. Will you be joining us in our crusade?
- Perhaps, brother. But I have something important to do first.
Hammond nods solemnly.
Ours is a quest of sacrifice. If you wish to bid farewell to loved ones and break ties with your old ways, then do so. I will be here for some time, spreading the Truth. When you are ready, come see me once more.
The prophecy mentioned that the Chosen One would enter the 'heart of the darkness' and face 'three evils'. If you assume the 'heart of darkness' is referring to Aeon City Square, then fulfilling the prophecy is a simple matter of setting a trap for Aeon's Arachnos flunkies.
And as everyone in the Rogue Isles knows, the best way to attract the attention of Arachnos is to humiliate them.
Provoke Aeon's Lieutenants
Mission Objective(s)
All you have to do is get Arachnos's attention. Considering what you're capable of, that shouldn't be difficult at all.
- Provoke Aeon's Lieutenants
- Steal the Arachnos weapon prototype
- Ensure Arachnos knows what you did
You have provoked Arachnos, and set a time for them to 'ambush' you.

On security terminal

It looks like this terminal has direct access to every security system in the base. If you want to spread word of your recent theft to Arachnos, now would be the time to do it.
You turn on the intercom and cheerfully announce that you are in possession of the XF-9 Carbon Inverter. You name a time when Arachnos can meet with you in Aeon City Square if they want to purchase the prototype back from you. If that doesn't get Aeon's flunkies out in the open, nothing will.

Speak with Brother Hammond
Part Two: Choosing Oneself
Hammond assumes a stuffy, condescending posture and begins pacing in front of you.
I believe it is time that I related to you the history of our order. When Martin Henri, the great prophet, was first visited by the spirit of his-
I'm sorry to interrupt, brother, but I have something important to show you.
Hammond stops short, and raises a curious eyebrow at you.
Do you now? I am intrigued, sister. Please explain.

Fulfull the Luddite Prophecy
What do you have in mind, sister?
I can show you, soon... can you gather together as many followers as possible?
If you believe it is necessary, then we can have tonight's sermon here, in the territory of the enemy.
Hammond's expression turns skeptical.
I do hope that whatever you plan on showing us is related to our struggle against Aeon. I would be displeased if we were wasting time on trivial matters.
Trust me, you'll like this. (Start Mission)

Arachnos Detail Dialogue

Before Combat: Operative Ellefson: My squads are in position. No one moves through Aeon City without me knowing about it. Mu'Renar: Scrawl must be made an example. No one can cross Arachnos in such a brazen manner, and live. Blood Widow Beatrice: Don't worry. If she shows, we'll catch her. We came well-prepared. Operative Ellefson: Fan out and search. Scrawl has to be here somewhere. Combat Start: Operative Ellefson: Scrawl has arrived. Engaging target. Combat Start: Mu'Renar: Ah. The very worm I seek. Prepare to be crushed! Combat Start: Blood Widow Beatrice: Bold, Scrawl. I didn't think you'd show. |
Convincing Brother Hammond Dialogue
|

|
Brother Hammond looks at you quizzically. Impressive, sister, but I don't understand why you called us out here. Your abilities are potent indeed, but they cannot stop Aeon's madness alone. Granted, you were able to defeat three of his lieutenants, but... Hammond trails off as realization dawns on his face. His jaw drops and he stares at you incredulously. Three... three evils defeated... Yes... ? Hammond looks around him in awe, then turns back to you. In the very heart of darkness. The center of the corruption! Here, Aeon City, the crowning achievement of the mad Dr. Aeon! I... I have a hard time believing this, sister, but... but it all makes sense! Risen from the shadows... how could I have been such a fool? Of course the Chosen One would be one of your, ah... questionable background. This... this is it! We are living in times long prophesied! You, Scrawl... great and humble sister of our order... I believe you are the Chosen One. Brother Hammond bows his head to you solemnly. Fantastic deduction, brother. I'm glad you have seen the... 'truth'. |
Debriefing
Hammond is still visibly shaken by his 'discovery'. As you approach, he doesn't seem sure how to respond to you. He eventually bows his head slightly, in a nervous display of reverence.
Exalted sister. I am... honored to be in your presence. The seekers of Truth will follow you in your quest to defeat Aeon and his empire.
I... I have very high hopes for these days now, Scrawl. It feels as though our purpose is coming to fruition at last.
Part Three: Brothers in Arms
I must present you to Martin Henri as soon as possible. I must tell him of what I have seen... of what you are, noble sister.
When he learns that you are the Chosen One, we can begin a righteous campaign against Aeon and his terrible works of technology. We will reclaim 'Aeon City', and our brothers will finally be rewarded for their sacrifices.
And once I meet with Henri, he will grant me command of the Lud- er, of our order?
Hammond nods vigorously.
We follow the example of Martin Henri, but the prophecies are clear: when the Chosen One is revealed, she will lead us to glory and victory. You will take command of our order and strike at the heart of the enemy.
Come, we must not waste time. I will show you where Martin Henri currently resides. Meet me there, so that I may watch history unfold before my very eyes.

Martin Henri Dialogue
|
|---|
|
This man moves and talks differently than most of the Luddites, and the others seem to hang on his every word and action. Clearly, this must be the man you are looking for: Martin Henri. His eerie, crazed stare falls upon you as you approach. Ah, so this is the newest member of our order, the one that so many have been telling me about. I am intrigued, sister. I have heard grand claims about you. They are true, brother Henri, as brother Hammond has seen with his own eyes. Hammond takes your cue, and speaks with Martin Henri directly. It is true, brother! She has fulfilled every tenet of the prophecy of the Chosen One! Before my very eyes, she stood in Aeon City, and felled three of Aeon's most trusted lieutenants. As the texts say, 'The Chosen One will enter the center of the corruption, the very heart of the darkness, and there she will face three great evils. With the might of the Truth, she shall strike down the corrupt, and will arise as the champion of the righteous.' The prophecy is being fulfilled, as we speak! Our time has come! So you see, it is time for me to assume command. Martin Henri strokes his beard in thought. After a moment, he nods solemnly. From what you say, it does seem that the prophecies have come to pass. You have brought us hope in a time of despair, sister. If now is truly the time of the Chosen One, then our order shall soon usher in a new era, free from the demons of technology. So, honored sister... Chosen One... what would you have us do? Now is your chance to take advantage of your newfound minions. From what you know of the Luddites, they are stubborn and only mildly competent... but even so, you can think of a use for them. We should strike at Aeon's power grid. That is the first step to toppling him. Martin Henri nods appreciatively, still stroking his beard. If we can cripple his power lines, then all of his vaunted technology will crumble away. It is a simple plan, but it could prove effective. You write down coordinates for the Luddites to attack - a section of the power grid conveniently close to the Cap au Diable's largest and highest-security bank vault. Brother Hammond graciously accepts the coordinates and begins rallying his fellow Luddites for the attack. I'm afraid I won't be joining you. I have... other things to attend to. |
