'''Briefing'''

Nemesis likes to get top talent wherever he can find it, and he doesn't mind taking people from other organizations. I've been looking through the records you found, and noticed that he made a big push on hiring ex-Council members a few years back. Those men were all assigned to part of Nemesis' automaton fabrication division, and I think they're still working there. {{green|They're all wanted men, and that's a good enough excuse to send you in there to raid the automaton research lab and figure out what they've been working on.}} This is a hunch, but I have a feeling that could be a very interesting place. 

* {{green|Raid the automaton research lab and figure out what they've been working on}}

Defeating the men in there is fine, but the real goal for us is to find out what they're working on. I have to wonder why Nemesis transferred these ex-Council guys to his automaton group? All of Nemesis' designs are originals using his own technology, so it's unlikely that he was hiring them to improve his own automatons with Council designs. They'd be completely incompatible. It's a mystery.

===={{UL|Find automaton research}}====

'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''

No one would be upset if you take out that lab completely, but all you really need to do is find out what they've been working on. Any ruckus or collateral damage to the facility is a bonus on top of that.

{{Mission Objective|Entrance= This smallish lab has been hidden underground, but seems to be well-equipped with Nemesis-designed robotics gear.|Primary=Find automaton research|Secondary=Locate automaton research|Additional=|Completion=You found evidence that Nemesis has infiltrated the Council with automatons!}}

{{Mission Clue|Name=A disassembled robotic vampyr imposter|Text= This automaton is a perfect replica of one of the Council's vampyri. Its abilities and strength have been replicated using Nemesis' advanced technology. When assembled and powered, it would be indistinguishable from an actual vampyr.}}

===={{UL|Talk to Maxwell Christopher}}====

'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''

Call me paranoid, but I think we need to talk about this face to face.

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=|Primary=Talk to Maxwell Christopher|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion=}}

{{Mission Briefing|Contact=Maxwell Christopher|Text=Vampyr imposters? I gotta admit, I admire his guts sometimes. Only Nemesis would be that bold. It makes sense, though. Normal troops go through so much mental and physical indoctrination and examination that an automaton would get caught, and Council robots are so different from Nemesis' technology that it would be easy to tell an imposter.

It's kind of funny, but it still has to be stopped. If Nemesis could subvert a big enough portion of the Council, it could be a disaster. I need you to take out one of these imposters right in a Council base, where all the troops can see it. You'll also need to take out the rest of the command staff just to make it look normal, but I'm confident you can handle that. Don't worry that we're helping the Council, either. They'll have to spend so much time testing all of their vampyri, this will derail their operations for months.}}

===={{UL|Stop fake vampyr & associates}}====

'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''

Remember that while your target is the vampyr automaton, you'll need to take out the surrounding command staff to make this look like a normal raid. Don't worry about defeating every last one of them, though. We want word to get out about Nemesis' infiltrators.

{{Mission Objective|Entrance=This Council base is being run beyond even the Council's normal standards of efficiency.|Primary=Stop fake vampyr & associates|Secondary=|Additional=|Completion= You defeated the Vampyr automaton, revealing its presence.}}

'''Debriefing'''

We knew that Nemesis used his automaton imposters to take over businesses, run front companies, and spread confusion during disasters. But I guess no one ever thought about him using the automatons against rival villain groups. Really, it makes sense, though. As far as Nemesis is concerned, everyone is just a tool to be used in his bid for power.<noinclude>[[Category:Maxwell Christopher Missions]]</noinclude>
