Mission:The End of a Yin - Part Two: Old Projects

Part Two: Old Projects

Briefing

Some time ago, Arachnos had a large machine that was called the Jade Tarantula. The design was quite interesting; the machine was powered by the psychic energies of an individual psychic. Recluse planned on having the former Sister Psyche utilize it, but those plans fell through.

Of course, Recluse would not just simply abandon that project. Splice has located a base where Arachnos is trying to manufacture a smaller version of the machine.

• So I'll go in there, get the tech, and get out.

Exactly. Splice does not need to recreate an entire creature; she just needs enough of the technology to make a small device to amplify Subjugator 5's powers.

We all believe that, if utilized properly, Subjugator 5 can break Penelope Yin's hold on the Awakened. After that, the Awakened will turn and destroy the Yin's and their reputation here.

Be careful in the base, Character. Your presence will be noticed. You'll have about three minutes before Silver Mantis arrives. If you can defeat enough Arachnos in there, however, Splice can send out a fake signal to misdirect Silver Mantis.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Be on your guard in the base, Character.

Arachnos Dialogue

Before Combat:

Fortunata: Who's supposed to be in charge of starting up the Jade Spider project?

Tarantula: No idea. Some people are saying it could be Weaver-1, but I haven't seen him in... well, I've -never- seen him.

---

Before Combat:

Fire Tarantula: Do you think this project will ever actually take off?

Fortunata: No idea, but we have to keep working on it.

---

Before Combat:

Fortunata: Is Lord Recluse over that whole Project DESTINY?

Fortunata: From what I've heard? He's got bigger plans ahead. This new stuff eclipses DESTINY.

---

Before Combat:

Bane Spider Commando: I saw the strangest thing on a mission the other day. Ice Mistral actually showed -mercy- to a Longbow soldier.

Mu Striker: I don't like it. Scirocco's doing something to make her like that.

---

Before Combat:

Fire Tarantula: Things have changed since Red Widow was revived.

Fire Tarantula: Tell me about it. Feels like Lord Recluse is more focused than ever.

---

Before Combat:

Mu Striker: I don't trust Scirocco. He's different since Dark Astoria.

Fortunata: I heard him mumbling something about some order of winds.

Silver Mantis Dialogue

Before Combat:

Silver Mantis: Ooooh, I am in the mood for a FIGHT!

Debriefing

Splice has already set up the technology needed to enhance Subjugator 5, thanks to your work, Character. She and Subjugator 5 have worked together to pinpoint the center of Penelope Yin's psychic activity.

We have also figured out how Subjugator 5 can sever Penelope Yin's control over the Awakened. All the pieces are falling into place, Character. We're getting ready to end this.
