| - After you rescued him, Lt. Sefu Tendaji thanked you and offered a tip:
'My thanks to you, friend. I see you are a member of the Vanguard. Despite what some think, I do not see a reason for the rivalry between out groups, as we are all fighting to protect out world. In fact, there was some information we recently gained that could be of use to you, but our resources are too thin to handle it. We have word of a Rikti assault group that has managed to sneak past our defenses. I will give you their last known location.
Oh, and do not mention this to Captain Dietrich. She is an excellent and dedicated leader, but she does not see things between our agencies as I do.'
- This signed form will get you a piece of Vanguard gear when you present it to Serpent Drummer.
- After you helped him escape, B'Nadek told you some of his story:
'So Immersed: Rikti-Thought. Recognition Near-Failure: Own Brother. Human-Thought: Presently Difficult. Please: Patience.
My name is:was Ben Decker. I was: Soldier: Earth during the Rikti War. I was a prisoner, they took me and: Changed me. They thought Change: Improvement. They all undergo: Change during Gestation/Exo-womb. They think it's a way to lift a man: up, just like some aliens did to them thousands of years ago. And if I never saw: Arnold again, I would have continued: Harmonious Rikti-Thought.
The Rikti think what they do is raise people up to their level of evolution. To them Riktification: Gift. But really, what it does: cage a man.'
- Chief Soldier: Repulse: Attack!
Once free: It's always nice to have help! Let's go!
- B'Nadek: Yes. ThoughtMode: Human! I was: AM Human!
B'Nadek: Character! You came!
- At the mission exit: I can't believe I'll see Mom again. Thank: You.
- One of the civilians you rescued, a young man name Arnold Decker, had a strange story to tell:
'It was the weirdest thing. They were rounding us up, I think to keep us away from those things they brought. Never can tell what people can do in this town, you know? Anyway, one of them saw me, and just stopped in his tracks. He pulled me out of the crowd, just lifted me up, and he was looking at me real intense. I thought I was dead for sure, but he set me down again, took off his helmet, and kneeled down to look me in the eye. The, he said my name.
I could barely understand it, their voices are so weird, but he was trying to tell me something. He said, 'Arnold, take care of Mom.' Then he tried to help me run away, but one of the commanders froze him in his tracks with one of those mind-bolts.
I don't know what it all means. How could he have known about my Mom? She's been in a bad way ever since my older brother Ben was lost in the Rikti War.
- Rikti minion 2: Containment: Suggested.
Rikti minion 1: Interruption: Unwelcome.
- Come, let us find the others.
If refound: Your distraction was useful to my escape.
- Combat start: Intention: Assure Victory. Method: Personal!
- Character. I'm glad you've joined us.
I've studied the Rikti for longer than you know. To most people, they are still a mystery. Where are they from? Why did they attack us? The answers are all there, if you know where to look. I'd suggest you keep your eyes open. Many things are about to change. Be ready for it.
That's all I got to say for now. You best head over to Lady Grey. She's requested an audience with you. You can find her by the trainer.
- Arnold Decker: Character! I'm over here!
Once free: Let's go! I have so much to tell you!
- Character, right? Good to meet you. I heard you were going to join up. I'm Borea, and I help coordinate Vanguard activity in the Rikti War Zone. Any time you're looking for something to do, come talk to me and I'll see if there's a mission for you. Hey, you know what? I think I have an easy one for you right now. Defeat 10 Rikti anywhere in the zone, then come back to me. I'll even throw in a little something as a reward when you return.
- :Lt.Sefu Tendaji:
- When you defeated Arnold Decker's captor, the Arachnos leader fell to the floor with a clatter. Your foe wasn't a normal Arachnos soldier , but a cleverly constructed clockwork counterfeit: a Nemesis Impostor Automaton!
It must have falsified its orders and appropriated troops to capture Arnold Decker, and then pinned the blame on Arachnos. But why?
- These strange clear documents were in a sealed container carried by the leader of the Rikti assault group. They look important. Levantera will want to see them.
- Rikti Captor: Violence: Unnecessary. Your surrender: Preferable.
Rikti minion: Attack: Vanguard!
- Ambush: Captive: Escaping!
:Captain Dietrich:
- Ambush: Captive: Escaping!
:Longbow P.O.W.:
- Arachnos soldier 2: Uh, Commander?
- Arachnos soldier 2: Yeah. What he said!
- Arnold Decker: Nemesis Army? What?
- Before combat: Situation Handling: Personally
- Captain Dietrich: Alien scum.
- Captain Dietrich: Great. Vanguard.
- Chief Soldier: Resolve Situation: Later.
- Combat start: Expression: Exasperation!
- Combat start: Fray: Enter!
- Character. About the B'Nadek situation. You've stumbled onto something interesting, but not unexpected. We're bound to see more incidents like this, and I don't like my people to be blind. Take this file. Read it if you want, then give it to Levantera when this thing is wrapped up. Normally, this kind of information is restricted by the FBSA 'Omega Clearance'. Heh.
If you learn it from another source, pretend you never knew it before. Not that it matters to me.
- Arachnos solsier 1: Never mind that! To the attack. men!
