Mission:A Faultline in the Sands of Time - Investigate excavation sites
Investigate excavation sites
Briefing
We have located the 3 sites where Arachnos believes the PsychoChronoMetron may have come to rest. All three sites are close to the forward Arachnos base, and each site is already being excavated. We may be out of time. I need you to investigate those locations, and if necessary, that base.
The PCM might have ended up anywhere during the chaos of the Faultline Incident. It seems too coincidental that it would end up so close to Arachnos. Confidentially, I almost hope that they've fooled us, and this is a ploy to see how much we know. But I don't think that's likely. Concern yourself with investigating those bases, and if necessary, the Arachnos Forward base. Neutralize all Arachnos troops within each dig to disrupt any further excavations, but if it comes to it you'll only need to confirm the presence or absence of the PCM at the forward base.
Unnecessary Solicitation:
If it's not here, there still might be a chance at the forward base.
The following missions take place in the Arachnos Dig Site. Please see the Arachnos Dig Site link for information on how to find the missions.

Arachnos has the PCM! But there might still be time...
In the excavation here, beneath the rubble, there was the tattered shreds of a costume, one you recognize as that of PsiCurse, the creator of the PsychoChronoMetron. The device itself is gone, though from the careful excavation markings around it, it wasn't destroyed smashed or melted. It was taken, by Arachnos.

Get the PCM from Arachnos!
Unnecessary Solicitation:
This could be our only chance. Good luck, Character.
Mission Objective(s)
The codes you got from the Sky Raiders still work. But is it too late?
- Get the PCM from Arachnos!
- Find the PCM!
You were too late, Arbiter Sands has outmaneuvered everyone.
This vault was supposed to hold the PsychoChronoMetron, but instead, had only this note:
'Nocturne,
Have some sense, my dear. I learned a long time before never to trust a Night Widow. I will take the PsychoChronoMetron to Lord Recluse personally. No hard feelings, I hope.
Arbiter Sands'
As you read it, the truth sinks in: Arbiter Sands already has the PCM, and he's going to take it to Recluse!

Debriefing
Well...
I know this looks bad, but it's not over yet. I've been in communications with two other agents, code-named Indigo and Crimson. They believe that Sands has not yet left Paragon City. There may still be time to stop him before he can deliver the PCM to his masters.
