Mission:Sweeps Week: Character vs. the Rogue Isles - Part Three: Ratings

Part Three: Ratings

Briefing

Bobcat has informed us that the Carnival of Shadows intends to cash in on your bounty. It seems Primal Vanessa DeVore isn't in it for the money as she is for the media attention. It is quite interesting how different Primal DeVore is from our DeVore.

I wonder what would happen if they ever met. Hrm...

Regardless, Transmuter has acted upon Bobcat's information and has found out where the Carnival are gathering to attack you.

• Where?

They are gathering in a place called Fortune's Wheel. It is a Carnival camp that they have in St. Martial. It's quite a symbol for the group, yes, quite a symbol.

Now, you could wait for them to make a move, or strike them in their home territory. I believe doing the latter would make you seem that much more fearsome, yes, much more fearsome.

If you can take down their head girls or whatever they're called and set fire to their little tents, I believe that would send a very strong message to all the others in the Rogue Isles. Quite the message.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Enjoy the carnival, Character.

Dean MacArthur Dialogue

Before Combat:

Dean MacArthur: I'm not normally into being kidnapped, but it's a pleasure being kidnapped by a +++ Missing Information +++ / lady like you!

Combat Start:

Dean MacArthur: I think we're about done here, though! My +++ Missing Information +++ / lovely gal is here to rescue me!

Dark Ring Mistress: Character is here too soon! Deal with the situation!

Upon Rescue:

Shadow Doppelganger: Surprise, me!

Dean MacArthur: Thanks for the save, Character. Those chicks saw my totally awesome broadcast and thought they'd try to ransom me off to you!

Dean MacArthur: But I said, nah, that ain't gonna happen, 'cause Character will find out about what's happenin' and come save me!

Dean MacArthur: ... Right?

Badge

If you rescued Dean MacArthur during this mission, you are awarded the Honorary Bro Badge.

{{#explode:File:Badge i24 StMartial Challenge.png|,|0}}{{#explode:File:Badge i24 StMartial Challenge.png|,|1}}

Honorary Bro Dean MacArthur stood up for you when Wu Yin tried to bring you down. He was captured by the Carnival of Shadows for this, but you rescued him. Dean MacArthur declared you an Honorary Bro.

Debriefing

That was quite interesting, sending a Shadow Doppelganger after you, Character, quite interesting; I suppose everyone wants to get into cloning these days.

The people of the Rogue Isles can't stop talking about your work, Character. In fact, as far as we can tell, that attack on the Carnival's base has caused a lot of people to rethink their attack on you.

Splice intercepted a communication between the Sky Raiders indicating that they called off an attack on you. She also sent a virus into the computers of the Rogue Arachnos. They won't be bothering us for the moment. However, we still have one group left that seems focused on trying to take you down.
