Initial Contact
We don't have a lot to work with, but my agents have managed to scrounge up some details on where the Destined Ones are being converted. So far, the only info we've been getting has been rumors and word-of-mouth, but I'm fairly sure we've located the place they're calling the Meeting Grounds. It's an old warehouse on the outskirts of the city - we've got some scouts keeping tabs on the place, and it's been seeing a lot of traffic lately.
From the reports I've been getting, it sounds like you'd fit right in with the crowd there. You should be able to get in without having to make up too much of a story. Word's been spreading fast.

Part One: Hi, My Name is Character, and I'm a Villain
Once you're in, keep your head down and do what you think is expected of you. Right now we're just looking to gather some info. Fortunately, I'm guessing that whoever's running the show won't be too concerned about spies. They'll be expecting hostility - they're recruiting Villains, after all - but they're probably confident enough in their conversions that no one will be able to cause trouble.
With the Psychic Damper, you should be mostly immune. If you hear the device starting to buzz a little bit, that means it's absorbing incoming psionic signals. In other words, it means someone's trying to fiddle with your mind. As long as you stay alert, you should be able to act like you've been converted at the appropriate time.
Good luck, Character. If we can get you into their good graces, we'll be able to plan our next move from a much more advantageous position.
- Leave
Unnecessary Solicitation
We need them to trust you, Character. If you can't achieve that, then this whole operation will fall apart around us.
Mission Objective(s)
It looks like Ruben was right. This place isn't tidy by any means, but it's far less abandoned than its outside appearance suggests.
- Gather information from other Destined Ones
- Meet with Baron Zukor
Return to the Main Hall You managed to infiltrate Baron Zukor's cult
Debriefing
Baron Zukor, huh? I haven't heard of him, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's small-time. My operations are mostly confined to Cap.
I'm intrigued by your interactions with the other Destined Ones, Character. Direct mind control is almost a form of puppetry, but it sounds to me like Zukor's followers retain their basic personalities, even after meeting with him. What's more, your Psychic Damper was only active for about a minute, and then all psychic influence ceased.
I'm not aware of any psychic powers capable of that level of mind-control, Character. For him to be able to retain his followers' loyalty, without directly altering their minds or maintaining psychic pressure... well, he's either very good or he's using something other than mind-control.
Part Two: Acceptable Losses
I'll have my agents go through your report, {Character}}. Hopefully we'll be able to get some insight on how Zukor is controlling your peers.
For the time being, you're going to need to remain in Baron Zukor's good graces. You've made good strides toward that goal already, but you're going to need to keep up appearances.
- Ruben hands you a folded sheet of paper.
Our agents intercepted this missive just recently. It's from Zukor's cult, and it's addressed to you. They want you to attack a local Arachnos facility.
- Attack Arachnos? I would never...
Save it, Character. There's no need to play dumb, I know how things work in the Isles.
In this case, we've deemed the operation necessary, to maintain your cover. I've reviewed the personnel roster at the target's location and made a few minor changes - nothing conspicuous, I assure you. I just hate to waste competency. The standing force that remains... well, they would not represent a significant loss to Arachnos's presence in Cap au Diable.
The missive indicates that you'll be paired with another of Zukor's cultists. Make sure you remain convincing, but see if you can discern Zukor's motives in all this. We still don't know what he's up to.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Get going, Character. The last thing we need right now is Zukor getting suspicious.
Mission Objective(s)
This is the base Zukor wanted you to hit. As far as 'heroic' jobs go, knocking Arachnos heads isn't so bad. If you're going to go along with this charade, you may as well cut loose.
- Cripple the Arachnos Base
- Disable the Arachnos communication array
- Expose the Arachnos base to detection
- Bring down the Base's automated defenses
- Talk to the Longbow Officer
