Doctor Delilah Stein

Overview

Doc Delilah is a hero contact in Faultline. Her level range is 20-24.

Introductions

Contact Introduced By

New Contact(s)

Agent G works for Longbow. I've heard tell that he's some sort of espionage agent, though I must confess that I don't know much more than that. He and I did speak a good deal about the history of the area when he first showed up, and I think it's because he just might have suspected something was wrong with the Faultline Incident, too. Well, he's been tracking Arachnos activity since he got here, and after this last run-in with Arbiter Sands, he asked me if he could talk to you.

Agent G already seems to know a lot about you. And if he's just half as impressed as I am, then I'd wager that what he needs your help for is something major.

Information

Hero Historian

Doctor Delilah Stein was born with herculean strength and incredible physical resistance. She fought evil as a heroine for a time, but eventually found her real calling: History and archeology. Now she combines her past life and her education into a new career as a chronicler of meta-human history, and an archaeologist of the unusual. Dr. Stein recently began investigating the lost hero bases in Overbrook, looking for clues to fill in the history of pre-Rikti War heroes and villains.

Initial Contact

Well, hello there! Glad to see you made it out of that dust-up, too. I told Penelope I wanted to talk to you for a reason. Now, little Miss Yin told me all about what you've done for her and her Daddy, and I already knew that you were helping out Jim Temblor, that poor boy, so I know your heart's in the right place. I'm also guessing you just might have noticed that there's some awfully peculiar events going on around here. I came to Faultline to investigate the meta-human history of the area, but I've begun to think that we've gotten some of that history terribly wrong...

Help Doc Delilah uncover the truth

Briefing

Now, I believe that the story we all know about the Faultline Incident has some holes in it, but I need evidence to prove it. That evidence has been scattered in caves and the ruins of old bases all around the zone back when the Faultline Incident happened, and I've been out here working to find just what I need. I'm pretty close to understanding what happened, but in order to put it all together, I need to find a better recording of the final battle with Faultline. I heard about the recording you found for Jimmy Temblor, but that's still incomplete. However, I may be able to find a better recording, with a bit of help. You see, because the forces of law and order haven't been able to patrol the area until recently, all sorts of villains have been scouring through my dig sites looking for valuables to scavenge and steal. That's why I need someone like you to help me.

I just knew you'd be willing to help! Now, here's my problem: I recently found out that one of the heroes who was at ground zero during the Faultline Incident just may have been recording what happened, and sent a record of it to his supergroup's old base. The poor man died in the event, but that recording just might still exist. As a hero, his name was AkashiKnight, and I think I've found where his body came to rest. But those Sky Raiders have figured out that wherever I try to excavate is also a good place for them to plunder, and now they've swooped down on the site. All I really need you to do is recover AkashiKnight's body, but if you wanted to teach those Sky Raiders some manners, I would not be put out by it.

Mission Objective(s)

A lot of things probably fell into these old caves when Faultline destroyed Overbrook.

  • Recover AkashiKnight's body
    • Find AkashiKnight's body

You recovered the body of AkashiKnight.

Clue
An old wallet

This old wallet once belonged to the late hero AkashiKnight. He was supposed to be a techno-mystical warrior gifted with supreme knowledge through a mixture of ancient wisdom and modern science, but even he didn't see the Faultline Event coming. His wallet contains some useful information, including his personal ID, a driver's license identifying him as Leonard P. Conway, several business cards that reveal his place of work, and a reminder written to himself on a sticky-note that he left his magnetic key for the team base at work.

Sky Raiders

Debriefing

I hope those Sky Raiders weren't too much trouble for you. Their leader in the area is a contemptuous fellow named Captain Castillo. He thinks he's some kind of suave air pirate. Would you believe that he tried to put 'the moves' on me? As if I would ever consider that! I know his type. I folded his jet-pack in a knot and told him never to bother me again, but I doubt even that's going to stop the Sky Raiders.

Oh, now look at me. I'm sorry for venting like that, but all of their heedless plundering is destroying a lot of history. Anyway, let's get back to work. I want to take a look at that body.

Poor AkashiKnight. His body is so well preserved, it's like he was mummified. I researched him a good deal. He really didn't deserve to end up like this, but at least he'll help us learn the truth. Confidentially, I think he would have wanted that. Now, the next step is to get the keys he mentioned from his old place of work. That building's still intact, so this shouldn't be to hard, right?

I know you will prove more than capable. I must say, I am impressed already with what you've done.

Recover info from AkashiKnight's office

Briefing

I've had AkashiKnight's body sent to the university, and we've got ourselves a pretty good idea of where he used to work. From the reminder he wrote himself, we can most likely find not only where his base was, but also a way in. I really wish I could go, but if I do those Sky Raiders will be there like flies on sugar, contaminating my site. So, I must ask you to go to AkashiKnight's old office and find his desk. Who knows what might be living in those ruins these days. I'd be ready for something dangerous, if I were you.

I can't go with you, but I'll still try to help by going to another site to distract the Sky Raiders. But do be careful, there may be other trouble at the sight. Like I said, be ready for anything.

His name was Leonard P. Conway. AkashiKnight, I mean. Time and again I keep seeing things like this, otherwise normal people who give their all to make a difference. Even when they meet sad ends, it still gives me a lot of faith in people.

Oh, I nearly forgot! There's a Longbow officer up in the dam who wants to talk with you. He's called Agent G. I talked to him some when he first showed up, and he seems nice enough sort, if a bit terse. Well, after you investigate that office, how about you head on up to the Dam and see what's on his mind?

Mission Objective(s)

Leonard P. Conway, aka AkashiKnight, once worked here. It kind of makes you reflect on your own life as a hero.

  • Investigate office
    • Find AkashiKnight's desk, Defeat enemy leader

You found the cache, and drove off Arachnos!

Clue
AkashiKnight's hidden cache

Leonard P. Conway had modified his desk to hide a hidden cache. It was still intact, an unintentional time capsule of his life as a hero right before he died. The key to his supergroup's base was there, but there was much more, too. There's a spare costume, a case book, and a date planner with which identity he had to be in and when. There's a spare copy of his city ID card, notes on his latest cases, and a hero gear catalog from the year Overbrook was destroyed. It's sobering to think that all of this is what remains of his double life.

Clue
Arbiter Sands' to-do list

Arbiter Sands is back, and this time it clearly isn't to fight alongside you to get his revenge. He dropped this list of things to do:

'To Do:
Investigate ruin. PCM confirmation?
Confront Nocturne about trying to kill me. (bring: back-up, flowers, nice card)
Order someone to get flowers, nice card.
Have hero who helped me assassinated (no loose ends)
Request back-up for Sky Raider problem. (swallow pride)
Organize next excavation expedition (Must find PCM)'

Arachnos

Mission Objective(s)

  • Take Arachnos evidence to Agent G

Debriefing Agent G

Greetings. You can call me Agent G. I'm glad you brought this to me. It puts a name on our opponent: Arbiter Sands. We've been trying to find out why Arachnos is here, and what they're planning. Right now, allthat we know for certain is that they're having trouble with the Sky Raiders. It's slowed them down, but it's also made them tighten security, making it harder for us to find out what they're really up to. Hm. PCM? I wonder...

I'd suggest you keep working with Dr. Stein for the moment. She's trustworthy. She's also onto something I've suspected for some time. I may ask for your assistance later. If so, I'll send a message to your through her.

Thank you for your assistance.

Debriefing

Arachnos is mixed up in this? Well now, I should have known! I am so glad you spoke with that Agent G fellow. He's a good man, for a government type.

So this is AkashiKnight's cache? Let me see it. All of these things hidden in his desk. An entire hero's life and this is all that's left. Oh, well let's not get too gloomy. Leonard P. Conway did a lot of good in his life,and now this may help to save many other lives. And if I'm right, clear someone's name as well. We'll just have to get the proof before the Sky Raiders or Arachnos do.

This is all getting downright crazy, but it's not over yet. I am just greatly relieved that I have someone as dependable as you to help me.
