Introductions

Initial Contact

So you're the one who is tired of all these 'Destined Ones', eh? Well, maybe we can work together and do something about it.

Information

Ex-Arachnos Soldier

Alan was once a high ranking Arachnos soldier. On one mission, his superiors ordered him into a suicide scenario, unbeknownst to him and his team. Being a diversion, his superiors did not do anything about his team's safety and they were wiped out, with Desslock being the only survivor. He made his way out of the nightmare and back to the Rogue Isles where he quit Arachnos and now does what he can to subvert their activities, all the while looking to place an operative on the inside.

Briefing

So, you come to me because you want to pretend you are a Destined One, eh? Want all the perks that go with being one of the few, the proud, the Tools of Lord Recluse?

Well, I can see advantages for myself in helping you out here, so I am willing to do this with you. You are going to owe me a lot of favors for my help, but we can cross that bridge when you are a bit more powerful. For now, you gotta put your name onto the list. You do know there is a list, right? Kalinda, one of Lord Recluse's seers, divined who the actual Destined Ones can be, and made a list. It's electronic so it shouldn't be too hard to insert your name onto it. I even have a virus you can upload that will stick your name onto all the copies on the Arachnos computer network as well.

• Alter the Destined One list and insert your own name onto it.

It's a simple job, and brings with it the benefit of being one of Lord Recluse's Destined Ones. Pretty good for a day's work, I'd say.

Once you finish, you should start seeing the benefits of your work immediately by seeing Kalinda herself for some Destiny-related jobs.

You have received the computer virus from Alan Desslock.

Desslock's Virus

Desslock fashioned a virus to replicate the master Destined One list over any of its copies on other networked computers. After it finishes it will act like a Freedom Corps watchdog program in order to throw the Arachnos techs off the trail of anyone affecting the Destined One lists.

Mission Objective(s)

• Alter Destined One List
  • Alter Destined One Mainframe

Since you are not supposed to be here, you should take care of any witnesses as well.

Mission Objective: You have placed your name on the list and uploaded Desslock's virus.

Mission Complete: You are now on the Destined One list and are a part of Project: Destiny whether Lord Recluse likes it or not!

The New List

You have a copy of the new list that you created. It has your name listed among the list of possible 'Destined Ones'. You have taken your first step in your master plan.

Debriefing

Well, you've taken your first step.

You should go and see Kalinda now that you are on the list and start doing what she needs. I should have more for you to do when you are Threat Level 5.

On the off chance you don't want to deal with Arachnos much, I'd go speak with Burke.

Let's Do This

Briefing

Ah, you're back. And just in time, too!

It turns out there was an operative that entered the Zig to bust out the Destined Ones. This Private Jenkins had a hard copy of the list, something that is obviously unaffected by my virus. It's the original 'without Character' edition too. I know where he is currently dispatched, so you can find him and get that list from him. The list is too long, and he is too stupid to know your name isn't on it, so just getting the list from him will do. He carries it around as some sort of memento of a successful mission, so beating him up should be sufficient in getting them back.

• Beat up Jenkins and get the list.

He's not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he is a trained Arachnos operative. Use caution.

Jenkins must be down here doing a sweep for Snake activity.

Mission Objective(s)

• Defeat Jenkins, Get List
  • Get list from Pvt. Jenkins

Dialog

(aggroed)

Private Jenkins: Hey, it's Character! How's things going? Why are you looking at me like you want to beat me up?

Mission Objective: You find Private Jenkins' copy of the original Destined One list in his wallet, along with some cash.

Mission Complete: You defeated Private Jenkins and got his copy of the list!

Debriefing

Well done. That should do it with extraneous copies of that list. You should destroy that before people start to ask questions.

Well, look at that, the insignificant one actually has some potential.

Need a lot more data

Editor's note: This information is for whoever plans on finishing up the article. I don't know what to do with it other than to type it and post it, because I'm missing everything before it. I didn't realize the wiki was missing so much of the information.

• This short arc (it doesn't appear to be considered an arc, though) is only available once you reach level 50.

Statesman cut-scene dialog:

The criminal mastermind known as Dr. Brainstorm has somehow altered the fabric of the universe and allowed the archetypes of the Rogue Isles access to powers that they did not have previously. By using the Hypothetical Frameworks used by inventors the world over, he laid the foundation of his master plan. We believe that even Dr. Brainstorm could not foresee the full effects of this, as many of the heroic archetypes have found similar new sources of power. Surely this is to maintain some sort of cosmic balance, but to be sure Positron as well as the city's top scientists are looking into the situation.

• Statesman does not have any dialog for reaching 75%, 50%, 25%, or 0% health, nor for defeating the player.

Final debriefing:

Well you did it. You probably didn't even need my help, all I did was make things a bit easier for you. I hope you remember me now that you've made it to the big leagues. If you ever want some help in tearing down the faade [sic] that is Arachnos, perhaps we can work together in the future?
