Classified Mission Directive (40-50)

This appears to be a set of orders intended for members of the underground organization: The 5th Column.

"Until further notice, sleeper cell Macht will be charged with guarding the recent shipment of power nodules. Know that these nodules are all that are remaining in our possession and are needed for the recuperative procedures our great leader is undergoing. Your lives are less valuable than a single one of these nodules."

Apparently the 5th Column has chosen to hole up here in the Rogue Isles and have within their possession machinery that is not only rare, but are also needed for healing who you would presume is the Reichsman.

Wouldn't it be a shame if these fascists were to somehow lose their little toys?

You can't allow those power nodules to get into the hands of the 5th Column or anyone else for that matter. It's best if you destroy them, and loot their base while you're at it.

Villain Acceptance

Briefing

The 5th Column are a blight. Their silly fascist agendas to take over the world, how cliche. Wouldn't it be a shame if you were to infiltrate the base where these Power Nodules are stored and take them for yourself? Perhaps that'll teach the 5th Column to conduct their business in the Rogue Isles.

• Steal 5th Column Power Nodules.

Mission Acceptance

They're likely skulking around in one of their former hideouts, licking their wounds. You've got a good idea where you can find them. Track them down and steal their Power Nodules.

Unnecessary Solicitation

You have yet to steal the 5th Column Power Nodules. The possibilities of such a concentrated power source boggles the mind!

Mission Objective(s)

This is clearly the place. You can hear commands and propaganda blaring from loudspeakers throughout the base.

• Steal 5th Column Power Nodules.
  • 3 Power Nodules to collect
  • Deal with Oberst Gormann
  • 2 Power Nodules to collect
  • Deal with Oberst Baecker
  • Collect the final Power Nodule
  • Deal with Oberst Heimel

As you grab the Power Nodule needed to help recuperate the Reichsman, you feel it pulse with power. The opportunities for such a device are limitless!

5th Column dialogue

Before combat:

Raserei Ubermenschen Fire: You don't look like a new recruit!

Raserei Ubermenschen Fire: What are you doing here!?

Combat start:

Raserei Ubermenschen Fire: You've made the worst mistake of your very short-lived life coming in here.

Ambush! Collecting each power node spawns a 5th Column ambush.

Oberst Gormann dialogue

Oberst Gormann: We'll never allow you get out of here alive!

Oberst Gormann: For the 5th Column!

Oberst Gormann: FOR THE REICHSMAN!

Oberst Baecker dialogue

Oberst Baecker: To me, men! We can't allow this scum to steal our master's lifeblood!

Oberst Baecker: For the 5th Column!

Oberst Baecker: FOR THE REICHSMAN!

Oberst Heimel dialogue

Oberst Heimel: How dare you!

Oberst Heimel: For the 5th Column!

Oberst Heimel: FOR THE REICHSMAN!

Debriefing

You secured the three Power Nodules. Not only will they serve you well, but it will also slow the recovery of the Reichsman. That kills two birds with one stone.

Rogue Acceptance

Briefing

Those Power Nodules can't be allowed to be used to empower the 5th Column's leader, Reichsman. If these were to fall into the wrong hands, the results could be catastrophic. It's best if you infiltrate that 5th Column base and destroy their Power Nodules and loot the place of any valuables. After all, the 5th Column are notorious collectors of priceless pieces of art.

• Destroy the Power Nodules and loot the base.

Mission Acceptance

Those Power Nodules need to go! No good deed should go without a reward, so you'll help yourself to any valuables within the 5th Column base. Sounds like a win-win situation. You make the Reichsman suffer and you get some priceless art.

Unnecessary Solicitation

There's a base loaded with priceless pieces of art that are practically begging to be yours. Oh, and there's also the matter of destroying those Power Nodules. You should probably do that as well.

Mission Objective(s)

You can hear orders being barked over a loudspeaker and klaxons sounding around you. Evidently your entrance hasn't gone unnoticed.

• Loot the 5th Column Base
  • 3 pieces of art to steal
  • 3 Power Nodules to destroy

You liberated some valuables from the 5th Column.

• 5th Column

Reichsman's Former Glory

Raserei Ubermenschen Force: Incredible! How many are necessary to empower the Reichsman?

Combat Start
Vampyr Parasite: Gah! Intruders!
 

Guard This

 
Before Combat

5th Column Art Collector

 
Before Combat
Oh.
Another spec of dust.
We can't have that, now can we?
Not on my precious painting. No.

Combat Start
Character?! Kill him! Protect the painting.
Oh, and protect the Power Nodules too!

First Blood
I'll never let you touch my precious painting.

75% Health
It's mine!

50% Health
All mine!

25% Health
Y-you can't have it. No no!

Defeated
N-no.
 

5th Column Power Nodule

You've destroyed a Power Nodule. This device is used to power Reichsman's empowerment chambers. Without it, he'll be severely weakened.

Valuable Painting

This painting was thought to be lost in the second World War. Guess that makes it pretty valuable.

Priceless Painting

Another priceless painting. This must be your lucky day.

Priceless Painting

This painting is clearly the base leader's favorite. It looks like it is dusted daily and has an incredibly expensive looking frame.

Debriefing

That was satisfying. Not only did you liberate a number of priceless paintings, you also destroyed the Power Nodules. That'll definitely leave the 5th Column reeling for awhile.
