Mission:An Act of Mercy - Part Two: Foundations
Part Two: Foundations
Briefing
The man named Max said that someone once fought Mot in the 1800's... that is quite odd. The first that I had heard of someone fighting the darkness in Astoria was in 1953, when the Freedom Phalanx reclaimed Dark Astoria from the first time the darkness overcame it. They all believed that was the first and last time this would happen... but after the darkness came again, no one was able to stop it. I wonder, though... the Circle of Thorns were here in Astoria, even before the darkness first engulfed it. Hrm...
- Something to think on. Do you know where the bank is?
Mission Acceptance
Yes, the bank. Here is the location. I should warn you, Character, if the Knives of Vengeance attacked Max, it is possible that they also attacked the man who was meeting him here. I'm unsure why they would choose such a place to meet, but that is not our concern at this moment.
I am going to continue monitoring Scirocco. Ice Mistral has contacted me, saying that he has begun to act distant, saying that he has given up trying to teach her his various lessons on how to properly use her powers. I believe the city of Astoria and Mot are beginning to destroy Scirocco's mind, but we will deal with that.
Unnecessary Solicitation
I'm still having trouble contacting Scirocco, Character.

Dossier on David Hazen |
| You found within the safe a dossier on David Hazen, though there isn't a large amount of information on the man. The creator of the dossier notes that the investigation onto Hazen is still ongoing, due to the fact that officials in the early days of Astoria did their best to remove most information about the man.
David Hazen supposedly was the first man to discover and fight against the darkness in Astoria, along with a group of friends. It is known that he died within an insane asylum, but kept a journal. He wrote in the journal until the final day of his life, when he was found dead in his cell, the cause of death unknown. The writer of this dossier was able to recover a ripped page of Hazen's journal... 'I see it in my dreams. It called itself the Sentinel. The will of Mot. We first saw it deep beneath Astoria after we went past the seals. It was monstrous and huge. It killed Marvin. We ran away, and it told us that we would never survive. In my dreams, my nightmares, I see the face of the Sentinel, judging me, waiting for me to slip so that it might take my body, my soul, for Mot. Before he died, Marvin said that the Sentinel's shell was powered by the souls of the dead. If we could somehow hurt it, we would also hurt Mot's power. If the fools would just li-' The journal ends there. |
You're flung back to the entrance of the bank by the power of the unknown voice that spoke to you!
Debriefing
Are you alright, Character? I was unable to reach your signature for a while. Some unknown man helped you escape, you say? Hrm... a third player within this place, then. Interesting.
It is too bad that the informant Max spoke of was unable to find more regarding this David Hazen. However, what he did find is somewhat... coincidental, almost to the point of fault.
You see, Character, we have officially lost all contact with Scirocco. He told Ice Mistral that it was over, and that it was time for him to face the Sentinel.
