Introductions

Contact Introduced By

• Alan Desslock

Contact Introduces

If you are serious about this Destined One fetish, you really should be talking to a Fortunata, and I know just the one.

Level 15-19

• Fortunata Hamilton

Forunata Hamilton is the one you need to seek. She and Alan have a deal, she won't give him up to Arachnos, and he won't clue them in on her dirty little secret. I'll make the intros now, but she won't have anything for you to do specifically until you are Threat Level 15.

Fortunata Hamilton can help you out at Threat Level 15, and I hope that this makes up for what Lt. Fossil made me do.

Time to Earn Some Dough: Part One

Steal the bearer bonds from the warehouse

Briefing

I have a nice, simple smash and grab for you. There's a warehouse in Port Oakes that just got a shipment of bearer bonds in. I've got a doohickey that will override the lock on the crates, and since you'll be doing all the hard work, I'll even make it an attractive 90/10 split, where I will only take 10% of the profit? This job is too good to pass up!

Mission Acceptance

Here's the doohickey, just wave it in front of the crate. There will probably be some port authority guys there, but you can handle them.

	Crate unlocker
	This hightech marvel will unlock the specific crate with the bearer bonds.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You are not done yet!

Mission Objective(s)

The doohickey seems to be tracking the crates.

• Steal bearer bonds
  • 2 crates to locate
  • Fend off Arachnos Ambush

You fended off the Arachnos ambush!

Arachnos Ambush dialogue

Before Combat:

Wolf Spider Enforcer: Time for your beatdown, Character!

Combat Start:

Did you think you could be a Destined One and not have the rest of us 'pond scum' not come looking to make a name for ourselves?

This crate is not as full of bearer bonds as you were lead to believe.
You found some orders on one of the soldiers

	Orders
	One of the soldiers had written orders to ambush you, tracking you through a device given to you by Brick Johnson. The orders come from a Lieutenant Fossil, who must not be happy with your current status and decided to put a hit out on you.

Debriefing

Hey, I know what you are thinking, you want to beat me into a pulp right now... but let me explain.

Lt. Fossil wanted you dead, and he has information on lots of us Arachnos soldiers that could get us thrown in the brig, or worse. He waited until you contacted one of us and then blackmailed us into setting you up into that ambush. I know you will probably never trust me again, but if you want to take the risk, I can tell you which base Lt. Fossil is working in right now. He won't be expecting the likes of you to show up. You could beat him seven ways 'til Sunday for what he tried to do to you. I think you'd agree that this would be an excellent plan.

I was just following orders.

Attack/Counterattack: Part Two

Pose as a Hero to trap Lt. Fossil

Briefing

OK, here is the plan. Lt. Fossil is holed up in Port Oakes. He's hiding out ordering his men around. He normally doesn't get his hands dirty, as you know combat can be dangerous. He usually just throws subordinates at the problem until the problem goes away. However, he can't resist a 'big score' on his record. If you were to pose as a Paragon Hero while taking down his base, he would most definitely try to take you down himself.

Mission Acceptance

You should go and visit the Facemaker in Cap au Diable, it might be a little rough getting to her, but you're the resourceful type. Call in some favors if you have to. She will set you up with a new costume that you can use to look less like an Arachnos soldier.

She will set you up with a new costume that you can use to look less like an Arachnos soldier.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You should visit the Face Maker and get a new outfit to pull off the surprise.

Mission Objective(s)

• Get Paragon Hero Disguise from the Facemaker

The Facemaker

Briefing

Yes yes, Alan told me you were coming. I have just what you need, if you have the infamy to pull it off!!

I have given you early access to another Costume Slot. Speak with my nurses to have them tailor up a new costume for you, so you look less, Arachnos, if you wish. When you finish, you can find Lt. Fossil in the sewers in Port Oakes.

Note: This will unlock the second Costume Slot on your Soldier of Arachnos, if you haven't guessed already.

Deceive and defeat Lt. Fossil

Unnecessary Solicitation

You need to take down that blackmailer, show him who really runs things around here.

Mission Objective(s)

The disguise is working, the base's automated defense systems see you as an invading Paragon Hero.

• Deceive and defeat Lt. Fossil
  • Defeat Lt. Fossil

You showed Fossil you were the real deal!

Enemies

Arachnos

Notable NPCs

• Lieutenant Fossil (Arachnos Wolf Spider Huntsman, Boss)

Lieutenant Fossil Dialogue

Before combat: I can't believe it, a Hero invades MY base! I defeat them, and I get that promotion for SURE!
Combat start: What? You're no Hero! You are Character! Didn't my team kill you?
First blood: Oh, so you think you've got some fight in you, eh?
At 75% Health: I've been wondering how a chump like you got on the Destined One list!
At 50% Health: I've almost got it figured out too!
At 25% Health: I think you must have planted your name on the list, it's the only explanation!
Defeated: Arrrg! You... won't... get... away with this...
Defeats a villain: Pathetic, although I bet you just hit a medical teleporter and try your luck against me again. Stupid lemming.

Debriefing

Great job! Lt. Fossil seems to be in a coma after all the hurt you put down on him. He won't be talking to anyone for a long time, plus I think his plans to take you down are at an end.

Man you ARE as good as Alan says.

If you are serious about this Destined One fetish, you really should be talking to a Fortunata, and I know just the one.
