Mission:The End of a Yin - Part Four: Cracking Faultline

Part Four: Cracking Faultline

Briefing

It appears that Penelope Mayhem is causing chaos in Faultline as we speak. She's fighting her counterpart, Penelope Yin, while also yelling various things about you, Character. All good, of course, but nonetheless, your presence is known.

If I may be so bold, I suggest you make an appearance in Faultline to bear witness to your work. You could even, oh, I don't know, cause some chaos alongside Miss Mayhem and give one last final show to the people of Paragon. It would be taking advantage of the situation that you have personally created.

• I'll need a way in to Faultline, Mr. G.

I can arrange one for you. Unfortunately, our Vanguard helicopter has ceased to work. I believe Gaussian was able to hack remotely into the computer and disable all of the devices. Splice did her best to stop him, but in the end she was bested.

We can get you in through a series of sewer systems, however. At that point, it will be up to you to cause some chaos in the area and leave your mark on Faultline.

The rest of us shall be here waiting to hear the news of your acts, Character.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Faultline hasn't had a terrible amount of villainous attention lately. Let's change that.

Penelope Mayhem

Briefing

How could I forget you, Character? You are the Creator of hatred, the one who united the Awakened in us.

Everything is owed to you, everything. Without you, the hatred would be shattered, broken, controlled.

You even aided in the defeat of the Other Yin and the annoying Spirit girl. The power of our hatred is weakened, however, from their assault.

We must retreat to repower ourselves.

• Get out of here, we'll see each other again.

• I'm not your Creator, Penelope.

Why would you say that? You are our Creator! There is no other way to describe you. We saw you fight the former vessel, we saw you defeat her in her mind.

You were the catalyst that brought us all together.

We owe you everything, and there is no way for you to change our minds on the matter.

• Alright, you should get out of here.

• What can you do to help me in the future?

• What can you do to help me in the future?

We will do our best to watch over you, Character. You are precious to us and your life is valued more than any of those in Paragon or the Isles.

We have our own goals, of course... but we shall aid you should you be in danger or in need of more support. You have our word on that.

• Alright, you should get out of here.

Badge

If you arm all five bombs before Penelope Yin and Penelope Mayhem finish their fight, you are awarded the Pyromaniac Badge.

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

Pyromaniac You set fire to one of the nicer parts of Faultline while Penelope Yin and Penelope Mayhem were still fighting elsewhere.

Debriefing

The press are all talking about your work, Character. They're all stirring about how you created Penelope Mayhem. This is something even greater than just defeating a hero, quite greater.

A hero could stand being defeated... they would simply bounce back, fight the good fight and all that nonsense. Oh, but now... now you've instilled fear that the heroes never knew existed. You've shown that you will not only defeat anyone that comes after you, but that you will twist them into a nightmarish version of themselves. It is a fate that could be considered worse than death, and far worse than defeat.

You've earned your reputation as a feared villain, Character, and I am quite glad to have been part of it, quite glad. There is only one last thing we need to do.
