Briefing
Eh? What do you want? Can't you see you're intruding on my home here?!
- I'm here to find out about a Destroyer that passed through here.
A Destroyer?
You mean Louis? Shame that he got on the Fixadine. I always told him not to get on the stuff.
But does he listen to me? Of course not! Now he's always hopped up on Fixadine, attacking random people. Last I heard, he threw a car at a building and killed a group of college students. None of that woulda happened if he just listened to me. He didn't even listen to that stuck up uncle of his, what's his name... Arvin... or something.
What're you lookin' to him about?
- I'm trying to track him down, to find a cure for Fixadine.
- Wha? What's Louis gotta do with it?
- He's the key to finding the cure. I need to know where he went.
- This selection loops to another branch of this conversation which is already documented. (A)
- Wait, Arvin is his Uncle? (B)
- Yeah, Arvin is his uncle. Took good care of him too, till Louis went on the crush.
- Me, I never wanted in on the stuff, s'why they kicked me outta the Destroyers, I guess.
- Not surprised that Arvin doesn't talk a lot about Louis and him being related. It'd look bad for a doctor in his standing to be associated with some sorta Destroyer like Louis, eh?
- Interesting. I need to find where Louis is. He's a key for the Fixadine cure. (A)
- Alright, whatever. I talked to Louis a while ago, he was killing for a 'crush'. That's what they call a shot of Fixadine. This time here is the only time when you could talk to him without getting your face smashed in, see?
- So, I told him about some Destroyers that ran out through the tunnels, led by some guy called Smash Bro. They're up in one of the warehouses in Nova now. You wanna find Louis, you can go see him there.
- That all you want from me?
- Thanks for the information, I'll be going now.
- What is this about Arvin being the man's uncle?
- This selection loops to another branch of this conversation which is already documented. (B)
- What do you know of the past, before this place was Praetoria?
- Before? You're interested in before?
- This place, this country, was called America. And you know who it belonged to? The people! Not to some stuck-up super-powered suit. They say up top that the world before Cole was terrible. But I say we're livin' in a time that our forefathers would've hated! No freedom, no choice! What you do is what Cole and his little group let you do. S'why I'm down here in the tunnels. It may not be nice, but at least I got myself some choice down here.
- You, you should remember what I'm sayin' here! We're comin' to a time when people don't remember how things were, forgetting what the past was, just believin' what Cole tells 'em! But I won't forget! I won't forget the life I had, back when this land had a different name.
- Thanks for the information, I'll be going now.

Uncle Arvin |
| The homeless man within Nova's underground tunnels informed you that Subject Zero's real name was Louis - Louis Arvin. Dr. Arvin is Louis' uncle, though the homeless man believes Arvin is ashamed of being associated with Louis. This could be why Arvin never bothered to inform you of their relation. |
|
A Land Called America |
| You spoke with the homeless man beneath the tunnels about what Praetoria used to be, before Emperor Cole came into power. He went into a small rant about the land of 'America' and about how it was 'far greater' than what Cole's regime has currently created, despite the various facts flying around about the problems that the country previously had. |

Good to see you're not feeling ill, Character. Do you think you can get to that warehouse before Subject Zero gets away?
Mission Objective(s)
Smoke fills the warehouse as you step inside of it. The Destroyers have made their mark here already - hopefully Subject Zero is still somewhere within.
- Enter the Destroyer Gathering
- Defeat Smash Man to find Subject Zero's location
You discovered the location of Subject Zero - he's at a rampage in South Aetna! You need to get this information to Doctor Arvin as soon as you can!

Louis the Lobster |
| After defeating a group of Destroyers, you found out about Subject Zero's past in the Destroyers. He had the nickname 'Louis the Lobber' because his 'specialty' was throwing objects at people.
During one raid, he grabbed a broken lampost and slammed it into a car, causing it to blow up and kill the passengers inside. During another incident, he was seen throwing civilians out of high-rise buildings, laughing with his eyes mad from Fixadine. |

Ambush! After defeating the above mobs, a two minute counter starts, after which four waves of Destroyers will ambush you |

Rampage in Aetna |
| Smash Man calmed down off of his Fixadine rush after you defeated him. In his last moments of conscious, he told you that the man you're looking for probably hooked up with another horde of Destroyers who found a way into South Aetna.
Before passing out, Smash Man grunted that the Destroyers will, 'never rest until we get back what's ours from you Powers Division scum.' |
