Mission:A Faultline in the Sands of Time - Stop Arbiter Sands and get the PCM

Stop Arbiter Sands and get the PCM

Briefing

The information Castillo had matches what Nocturne had told us. Arachnos has been bringing men and materials into the city through a series of underground rivers that lead to the ocean using submersibles. Arbiter Sands will attempt to leave the city the same way, but we know where and when. This is our last chance to keep Arachnos from getting the PsychoChronoMetron. It's a lot to ask of anyone. Can I count on you?

Good. The underground channels depend on the tides, so we have some guarantee for the departure times. This place will be heavily defended. You will need to cut off Arbiter Sands' means of escape by destroying any and all submersibles docked at the base, and then capture Arbiter Sands himself. Sands will have the PsychoChronoMetron on his person.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Good luck. The fate of the world may be on your shoulders.

The PsychoChronoMetron

Though dented and battered, this is it: The PsychoChronoMetron, a device capable of altering reality by transforming psychic energy into temporal energy and editing history itself. It boggles the mind to think of all the harm that this one little device could do.

Arbiter Sands's Battle Dialogue

Combat start: The tides are right. It's time to deliver Lord Recluse his final victory.
On Agro: It is Character, right? You've been tenacious. I despise that in a Hero.
At 75% Life: You've harmed me. Again. This won't do.
At 50% Life: Now this is absolutely bothersome.
I say that to very few people.
Most of them are dead now.
At 25% Life: Normally, I'd teleport to safety now, but that is, sadly, not possible at the moment.
Defeated: Well. This is an unfortunate turn of events.
Defeating a Character: I am going to request that the PCM is used on you. You'd be a useful henchman.

Debriefing

So, this is it? Incredible. We both know what it can do. It has to be destroyed, and in a manner that prevents it from ever being built again. That means using the PsychoChronoMetron against itself, to edit its own history, and maybe even some of the laws of reality. Turning Faultline into a villain is trivial compared to this. To overcome the backlash, you'd need someone with more psychic power than Sister Psyche. Someone with the psychic power on the order of the Clockwork King...
