Missions:The Anti-Matter Collision - Part Five

Part Five: Learn what the Carnival knows about Anti-Matter and the attack

Briefing

It was weird that the Carnival of Shadows had such a profound effect in confusing Anti-Matter's Clockwork invaders. We've got a tip about where the Carnival members who escaped the Battle of Waxahachie are holed up. Go there and see if they have anything to further our understanding of the situation.

• Learn what the Carnival knows about Anti-Matter and the attack

Hopefully you can find someone in that hidey hole that is willing to speak to you about the matter at hand.

Unnecessary Solicitation

We still need to know what the Carnival knows.

Mission Objective(s)

A tiny version of 'As Time Goes By' plays on the Carnival's sound system.

• Talk to the person in charge

It wasn't much but you got a little information out of Vanessa DeVore.

Vanessa DeVore questions and answers

Vanessa DeVore Briefing Before you try, I have pacified you. Your will is weak and I have made it so that we can have this conversation without your bloodlust for my head getting the better of you. Once you have left this warehouse, I will return your free will to yourself. Trust me, your mind is not a place I wish to be spending extended time in. Now, why have you barged in here and disrupted my troupe? I want to know what happened in Waxahachie park. My troupe was just out to have a little fun, y'know? Cause a little mayhem, seed a little destruction, general good times. Then those robots came in, started calling us 'Carnival of Light', attacked us, then YOU showed up. You know the rest from there. I have some more questions I quickly tire of this conversation, please make haste. What is your relationship to the Carnival of Light? The Carnival of Light? It doesn't exist as far as I care. On this earth there is only the Carnival of Shadows. It's that other dimension where things are all opposite. That is where you find your Carnival of Light. I have some more questions I quickly tire of this conversation, please make haste. Where does the Carnival of Shadows stand (Where do you stand) should we (this world) be invaded from another dimension As long as there is fun to be had, my troupe and I will fight against whatever incurs here. But I warn you, the enemy of your enemy is not your friend in this case. I have some more questions I quickly tire of this conversation, please make haste. You know I am going to have to arrest you. The Carnival of Shadows must be shut down. Oh, I do know you'd love to arrest me. But answer me this, Character. How do you arrest an illusion? You see Vanessa's image flicker. It seems the woman you're talking to now is just an astral projection of the real Vanessa DeVore. I'll bring you in one day, Vanessa. Vanessa's image laughs before it fades away.

Debriefing

Looks like they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time, I was hoping that we'd get something more to go on. I still can't believe that you survived an encounter with Vanessa DeVore herself!
