Part Four: Man of the People

Mission Briefing

Now that we're aware of the Suggestion Engine, I think it's time we made our move. Zukor just recently sent out a summons to all of his cultists to return to the Meeting Grounds. I'm guessing he's getting ready to support Longbow in a major push towards Aeon City.

It's the perfect time to strike, Character. Zukor trusts you, thanks to your attack on our outpost, and you're going to need to capitalize on that trust.

See if you can get Zukor alone. If you attack him out in the open, you'll have the entire cult bearing down on you at once. If you can manage to get another private meeting, though...

• Trust me. I know EXACTLY what to do.

I'm glad we're on the same page, Character.

The Suggestion Engine is focused through a single projector, about the size of a pocketwatch. Zukor will probably be carrying it on him, as he'll want to have the Engine available if he needs to 'convince' anyone on the fly.

Once you've taken down Zukor, see if you can acquire that projector. That will let you influence the rest of the cultists - and that's when Longbow's plan blows up in their faces.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You really can't hang around here, Character. You need to get to the Meeting Grounds, or you may lose your only chance at this.

Mission Objective(s)

Zukor has no clue what you have planned. With any luck, his cult will have a new leader soon.

• Doublecross Baron Zukor
  • Proceed to the meeting room
  • Attend the inner circle meeting, speak to Zukor to interrupt the meeting (OPTIONAL)
  • Follow Baron Zukor to his quarters
  • Confront Baron Zukor
  • Defeat Baron Zukor
  • Approach the Meeting Grounds podium
  • Defeat Pyra
  • Deliver a speech to the Destined Ones

You've taken out Baron Zukor and claimed his army of Detined Ones for yourself

Debriefing

I witnessed your speech through the Network, Character. Good work. You seem to have them all marching to your tune.

If we're going to stop Longbow in time, we're going to need to move quickly. I'll send Double Tap the coordinates for their main base, but you'll probably want to be present to direct the assault.

We still don't know much about the Suggestion Device, and we can't be sure that its effects will last long enough to keep the Destined Ones following your orders. At the very least, your presence there will make them more likely to remain a cohesive force.

• I wouldn't want to miss this, anyway

• And why, exactly, am I be using MY army to fight Longbow?

I'm not disputing your control over the Destined Ones, Character. To be perfectly honest, I don't think I could even if I wanted to. The fact is, however, that Longbow has forced both of our hands.

As we speak, they're mobilizing a force to take control of Aeon City. That's bad for me, because it's bad for Arachnos. But they also have a file on all of Zukor's recruits, and you can bet they'll be gunning for every last one of you.

Now, you could just take your army and try to evacuate Cap, but even if that were to work, you've got the Suggestion Engine's limitations to worry about. Your army won't be loyal to you forever.

As it stands, there's really only one option left to you: take your army of Destined Ones - the only force in the area right now that's capable of contending with Longbow's forces - and destroy them before they destroy you.

• That I can understand.
