Mission:Maxwell Christopher - Nemesis Weather Control

Nemesis Weather Control

Briefing

The data you recovered has brought some really disturbing Nemesis operations to light. Analysis shows that Nemesis has spent a decade funding some kind of meteorological study. Weather patterns, climatology, that kind of thing. What the records don't tell us is why he'd be interested in that. I think it might be a good idea to find out why Nemesis is worried about the weather.

• Find out why Nemesis is concerned with the weather

Nemesis still doesn't know about the records you recovered, so the first step is going to be building up a working cover story. We got lucky there. Automatons working for Nemesis kidnapped the noted climatologist Dr. Sam Frinkley, and you're going to start this off by shaking down Nemesis troops for information. To tell you the truth, we already know where Dr. Frinkley is. The lab where he's imprisoned is one of those I've had under surveillance since you found those Nemesis files. But we have to maintain the image that we don't know, or else Nemesis could figure out our source of information.

Take out about 30 Nemesis soldiers anywhere you like, then hit the base.

Defeat Nemesis troops for cover

Unnecessary Solicitation

I don't care where you do it, just take out enough Nemesis troops to make it look convincing. If any of them actually talk, so much the better.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat Nemesis troops for cover
  • Defeat 30 Nemesis

One of the defeated Nemesis soldiers actually did talk, but your cover is secure either way. Time to hit the research base.

Nemesis

	Dr. Frinkley's location
	One of the Nemesis soldiers you fought told you: All right, all right! I'll tell you where we took that egghead! Don't even know why Lord Nemesis wanted that one. Something about 'comparing independent observations'.

Rescue Dr. Sam Frinkley

Unnecessary Solicitation

The confirmation you got from that Nemesis soldier was nice, if unnecessary. Now you need to find out why Nemesis has been doing that weather research. Finding Dr. Frinkley would be good, too.

Mission Objective(s)

You've found a hidden lab built into these caves. You can only wonder what strange work Nemesis is doing in this hidden place.

• Defeat all in weather lab
  • Find Dr. Frinkley
    
  • Find weather data

You rescued Dr. Frinkley and recovered weather data.

Nemesis

Notable NPCs

• Lieutenant Enderbie (Boss) (Nemesis Officer)
• Dr. Finkley (Hapless Citizen)

Ambush! You will be ambushed by one wave of Nemesis soldiers after exiting this mission.

Lieutenant Enderbie dialogue

Before combat:

The weather data proves our success. Lord Nemesis will be pleased.

Combat start:

You're growing into a real problem for Lord Nemesis, Character.

Dr. Finkley rescue dialogue

Dr. Finkley:

I am very glad to see you, Character. Listen, I know why they kidnapped me.

	Weather data
	The information you obtained from these weather computers could be used, in combination with other information, to locate Nemesis' other weather control stations.

Dr. Frinkley's story

It's astounding! Nemesis wanted me to confirm his own analysis of weather patterns for the last two years. It was a strange thing to ask, but I wasn't going to argue with that madman. He seemed pleased when his findings matched my own, and then he told me the horrible truth. The world's weather has been a little odd, but it wasn't due to the after-effects of the war. It's been because Nemesis has been controlling it! He's been in control of the world's weather patterns for the last two years! Now, he feels confident enough to use it as a weapon against the rest of the world!

Return data to Maxwell

Unnecessary Solicitation

This is too sensitive for the airwaves. Come and talk to me in person.

Mission Objective(s)

• Return data to Maxwell

Ambush! You will be ambushed by quite a few Nemesis as soon as you talk to Maxwell.

Maxwell Christopher

Briefing

I don't believe this, but it checks out! Nemesis has been in control of the weather worldwide for the last two years! Two years! And we've only found out about it now. He could parch fields, flood cities, sink fleets. The world could be at his mercy. Or it would be, if I wasn't on the case.
I mean, we. If we weren't on the case. Sorry.
The data you found and the data we have is enough; we should be able to pinpoint other weather control stations. But just taking them out won't be enough. We're going to have to subvert his weather control network. I'm going to send you to see Dr. Steven Sheridan. I'll call him, get him working on a way to reset Nemesis' weather control. Once you have that, you're going to need to reprogram one of the weather stations to reset the world's weather while other teams take out the other weather stations around the world.

Talk to Dr. Sheridan

Unnecessary Solicitation

Doc Sheridan's should be able to tell you how to reset the world's weather and keep it out of Nemesis' control.

Mission Objective(s)

• Talk to Dr. Sheridan

Steven Sheridan

Briefing

Ah, Character. Maxwell Christopher told me to expect you. I spoke with several leading experts both on Nemesis and on weather control theory, and I think I have a workable plan for you. by adjusting the settings in the manner I've outlined, you should be able to ease the world's weather back into an uncontrolled state.

	The weather formula
	These succinct but well-prepared notes outline what must be done to reset the world's weather patterns and remove them from Nemesis' control. Now all you have to do is break into a Nemesis weather control base and make the changes.

Reconfigure the Weather Control Devices

Unnecessary Solicitation

I need you to take control of that weather center and subvert Nemesis' control of the weather.

Mission Objective(s)

This base has been hidden deep beneath the streets, no doubt using the very superstructures of the city as an antenna for weather-controlling energy emissions.

• Defeat all foes in weather center
  • 4 devices to reconfigure

You were able to reconfigure the weather control system, but learned of one more weather center that wasn't accounted for in your plan. You have to take it out!

Nemesis

Boss dialogue

Before combat:

Weather stations worldwide are reporting attacks. We must prepare ourselves.

Combat start:

Fighting Lord Nemesis is as useless as battling the very wind and tides, Character!

	A hidden weather center
	As you discovered this computer, you discovered a link to another weather center not in the information you have, one that was only recently built as a back-up control! If it remains intact, Nemesis could take control of weather patterns once more!

Defeat all foes in weather lab

Unnecessary Solicitation

This is too much! I can't deploy another team in time! You're going to need to take out that last weather control center before Nemesis can use it!

Mission Objective(s)

Around the world, other heroes are also striking against Nemesis' weather control centers. But if you can't take this one off-line, all their work, and yours, will be for nothing.

• Defeat all foes in weather lab
  • 4 devices to deactivate

You have taken the last weather station off-line.

Nemesis

Fake Nemesis dialogue

Before combat:

We are now the last bastion of the weather program. We must not falter!

Combat start:

You have cost Lord Nemesis greatly, Character!

Patrol dialogue 1

Before combat:

Keep a tight watch. This station must not fall.

Combat start:

A hero!

Patrol dialogue 2

Random Nemesis 1:

A hero!

Random Nemesis 2:

You shall fall at Nemesis' feet!

Completion of this mission earns a hero the Meteorologist accomplishment badge, which also unlocks the Warhulk gladiator.

Meteorologist You have crushed Nemesis' weather controlling equipment.

Debriefing

We did it, Character! Nemesis held the skies in his grasp for two years before anyone even knew, but you've taken them away from him. This has been a great victory against Nemesis! He'll be reeling from this for a while, but don't think it's the last of him. Nemesis knows how to keep a lot of plans running at once. But stopping one of this magnitude is a special occasion.
