Mission:Max - Rebuilding the Column

Rebuilding the Column

Mission Acceptance

There was a massive attack by members of the 5th Column to release Reichsman some time ago. It looks like he had a back up plan in the event of his defeat.

Anyway, the main difficulty will be from the presence of Reichsman in the base.

There have also been strange reports of empowered 5th Column members entering the base, though our spies went silent afterwards. You'll want to be on your guard in there, it won't be easy to handle, especially if you're going in alone. Reichsman is going to be incredibly difficult to take down, even with your abilities. If you have some friends who can help you, now would be the time to call 'em in.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Good luck in there, Character. Reichsman is powerful, even without his empowerment machine.

Mission Objective(s)

Malta air-lifted you to the entrance of this 5th Column base. Outside of the base were the unconscious bodies of several 5th Column soldiers. Is someone else after Gyrfalcon?

• Rescue Gyrfalcon from the 5th Column
  • Defeat Reichsman to free Gyrfalcon
  • Defeat Reichsman and Requiem

You've rescued Gyrfalcon and defeated the combined might of Reichsman and Requiem!

Reichsman & Requiem Dialogue

Reichsman: Urgh... Requiem... I hadn't expected you to be this powerful.
Requiem: You could say my trip to Cimerora brought me back to my roots, Reichsman.
Requiem: It looks like your plans to use Gyrfalcon to rebuild your machine never became a reality...
Requiem: And now... you're barely as powerful as Statesman once was.
Requiem: It's funny, isn't it? You tried to take everything from me
Requiem: My army... my power... and now, my life. But you failed on every attempt.
Requiem: From this day forward, Reichsman, YOU will serve ME, and I shall lead the 5th Column to TRUE power and REAL VICTORY!
Requiem: Our first order of business will be killing Character, then using our forces to absorb whatever monstrosity is boiling within Dark Astoria.

End of cutscene

Requiem: Character. Do you think your Incarnate abilities can match that of myself and Reichsman? Let's find out.
Reichsman: For now, Requiem, you have my aid against Character.

Gyrfalcon: Thanks for the save. I'm assuming Max sent you here. I'll do what I can to assist with the situation.

Debriefing

Gyrfalcon is back in action now. It seems like we'll have to keep our eyes on the 5th Column once again if Requiem has taken back full control.

Requiem's presence would explain the empowered 5th Column we heard about. Anyway, that's something we can worry about once the world isn't about to be devoured by a god of death, eh?

• Let's get back to business.
